It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

Use the Developer Tools available in Internet Explorer, enable Debugging and it should break when the error comes up.

+1, you can also use Firebug in FireFox. – Abe Miessler Apr 28 '11 at 23:25
okay, i added debugger keyword in the cewp where it calls the function. also, have the developer tools open. i refresh the page and i can see error warning on the ie status bar. but developer tool is doing nothing. – Roxanne Apr 28 '11 at 23:46
@mina you will need to goto the script tab and start debugging. – idiom Apr 29 '11 at 2:40

There are some skills around debugging JavaScript that you'll need to learn. Firebug and the IE Developer Tools (or equivalent in Chrome, etc.) are the tools, but you'll need to learn how to use them well. There's not really an "answer" to your question.

Generally, you'll have syntax errors like missing commas, brackets, parentheses, or semicolons. That's always the first thing I look for in my scripts.
