using IE 11 F12 javascript debugging tools
I'm debugging the javascript used by an asp.net mvc application.
a couple of views in my application use an external javascript file located in the app directory.
I'm using IE 11 F12 tools to debug.
When I click on the Debugger tab it looks like this.
![IE 11 Debugger tab]()
I notice the icon next to the hexagon is disconnected.
When i hover over it with the mouse it says this. Debugger disconnected:

Any idea of why it says disconnected? how do i connect. Because if I click on it. Nothing happens.

It’s because the IE debugger doesn’t connect by default.
Unfortunately, it’s still a manual process that requires you to start the debugger — separately and manually — on the window/tab you want to run it on if you want to use the F12 tools. Which is kind of idiotic that you ask me.
