Dear Luke

On the menu bar -> tasks -> tools -> javascript console - it is nicer (in my
opinion) than the NN4.x version.

I always find it best to have a copy of NN 4.7 on my machine, it gives
better details of any errors that may occur in your script.
If you type "javascript:" into the location bar it will open up a javascript
console where all of the errors are displayed. I don't think you can do this
in NN6 - hmm.. that was really helpful of them!
In IE5, if can go to Preferences : Web Content : there's a check box at the
bottom of the window that says "Show scripting error alerts". If you check
this all errors will be displayed as and when they happen.
