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?

    Strongly depends on the browser version. Since IE8 the "IE Developer tools" are free and useful. Commented Mar 16, 2011 at 9:03
  • @jAndy the IE Developer Toolbar does not have any equivalent to Net in Firebug. Or do I not know how to activate it? Commented Mar 16, 2011 at 9:09

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

Is there a way to see the AJAX calls and their outputs?
Not sure about the IE9 version, but sadly the IE8 doesn't have a net panel

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

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

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.
