Debug Backbone Javascript using Visual Studio

Question

I've website developed in VS 2010 which is using MVC framework & backbone javascript.

I want to know how to debug backbone javascript step by step by putting a debugger in JS file within Visual Studio.

When I put a breakpoint in JS, it says no symbol will be loaded.

Any clue how to debug backbone JS via visual studio or any other alternatives?

Thanks!

I recommend using the developer tools in the browser of your choice. However, I have been able to debug JS in Visual Studio by temporarily adding a debugger; statement in the javascript. This will attach the debugger in Visual Studio. Just remember to remove it afterwards though.
