Debugging JavaScript in Internet Explorer

Before you mark this as duplicate, please note that the other questions are all over a year old. We are in 2011, and we still don't have half a decent I.E. debugger like Firebug. The only few solutions are paid.

Are there any tools I am missing? How do you go about debugging JS in IE?

If you can deal with using just logging rather than a full-on debugger, you could use a cross-browser logging library such as my own log4javascript.

There's also Firebug Lite. Also, IE9 comes with a full fledged JS debugger.

IE has the IE Developer toolbar. It's been available since IE7. It's not as good as Firebug but it's better than nothing and it's getting better with each version

The Developer Tools of IE8. You even got a console object to log with. And in IE8 you can switch to IE7 engine.
