Limitations
The debugger has several limitations, including the following:
- The line indicator may be incorrect when stepping through inline JScript or debugging a framed document.
- When debugging documents open in Internet Explorer, only one can be debugged at a time.
- Commands typed in the Command window have no effect unless the user is in break mode.
- A breakpoint immediately after a Document.Write is ignored.
- Entering a Document.Write command while debugging, or refreshing a document in Internet Explorer while debugging it, can cause hangs or other unexpected behavior.
- Unlike in other debuggers, there is no Watch window for monitoring variables; they must be checked via manual commands.
- Unlike in other debuggers, breakpoints can't be set by clicking in the left margin; they must be set via keypress or menu.

Famous quotes containing the word limitations:
“... art transcends its limitations only by staying within them.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“The only rules comedy can tolerate are those of taste, and the only limitations those of libel.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“No man could bring himself to reveal his true character, and, above all, his true limitations as a citizen and a Christian, his true meannesses, his true imbecilities, to his friends, or even to his wife. Honest autobiography is therefore a contradiction in terms: the moment a man considers himself, even in petto, he tries to gild and fresco himself.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
