JavaScript

Anybody know of a good JavaScript debugger?

I'm trying to write a small JavaScript script to check off a certain checkbox when a different checkbox is checked (and uncheck if the first one is unchecked). The page is generated dynamically from database data, so I don't necessarily know the IDs of the checkboxes, which is my problem.

Honestly, I've always just written debugging outputs in my code as I went, if I was tracking down things, I'd have it dump out what I needed inline.

DB Generated/populated Javascript can be -quite- the pain to debug. 'view source' and the ability to Think In C helps.

Actually, it hurts my brain that this worked as quickly as it did, but I identified the particular checkbox I needed by just changing the number around until the correct one checked off when I checked the first one.
