Debugging Javascript in Embedded Resource

Question

What is the best way to debug JavaScript in visual studio embedded resource JavaScript files?

Since the JavaScript is compiled into a library setting breakpoints on the source file do not work. To break execution and use breakpoints we've been putting a reference to an undefined variable which visual studio detects. Once you hit the undefined variable you can set breakpoints and debug normally.

The problem I am having is that visual studio is no longer detecting the undefined variable.

What is the best way to debug JavaScript in visual studio when you are using an embedded resource?

I have used either IE's built in debugger (you will need to detach the IE process from VS), or in Firefox I use FireBug.

The other thing I have used is the debugger keyword in the javascript.
