Debug code in ASP 3.0

[DazedAndConfused]

I need to debug the code and get the value of variables in an asp 3.0 page
where the javascript is being processed on the server side (i.e. within <%
%. I can use Response.Write("window.alert(".etc")"); for text messages to
tell me where i am in the code, but I cannot seem to figure out how to
display values of the variables...

Any ideas for a newbie to this?

A few options:
a) Get Visual Studio ... expensive
b) Use Response.Write to write out the values of your variables.
c) Use the technique described here:
