how to identify IE error Messages

i m working on a php page where css, JS and Jquery is included. in Mozilla it开发者_开发知识库 show Error message on console or in firebug but in IE it display

Line:1597
Char:9
Error:Invalid Argument
Code:0
URL: blah blah blah

now how do i know this error?? in fact there is no 1597 lines in my php code

and if i extract all JS and CSS(included) then how do i calculate line no. 1597? do i extract each and every CSS and JS in the order they are included? either it should be reflect in source code

how do i understand this error reporting message??? is there any way/ tool to identify exact what error IE want to show?

Take a look at this msdn blog entry: JScript Debugger in Internet Explorer 8:

To get to the debugger just press SHIFT+F12, or click the developer tools icon in the command bar.

edit: For IE7 there is a developer toolbar from microsoft that you can download separately from the microsoft download center:

The Microsoft Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar provides a variety of tools for quickly creating, understanding, and troubleshooting Web pages.

I don't know how IE calculates the given line and char-number and I've also been frustrated with this several times.

Mostly I try to track down the error with Firebug (for Firefox) and then try to transfer it to IE. If that doesn't work, I delete suspicious codeblocks to see where the error hides :)

Programs similar to Firebug (though I haven't been using them) are "IE Developer Toolbar" and "DebugBar". Also "Firebug Lite" (a JS that emulates Firebug-functions in IE) could be of help: http://getfirebug.com/lite
