How do I debug IE on the Xbox


Working for a company providing a web-based solution, we are keen to get our site working on Internet Explorer on the xbox. Our site works on IE6 - 10 as well as the main other browsers, however it doesn't work on the xbox's solution.

It uses JS and ExtJS with examples which do work on the xbox. We presume this version of IE is just breaking on something small and want to simply debug this in order to identify the issue.

Does anyone know how to debug for this device's version of IE / or how to emulate this version of IE?

Both Microsoft Support Services related to this problem do not have an answer for this in their current knowledge base.

  • Thank you all for the responses.

    I now have an answer from Microsoft (over 1/2 a year later)

    THis gives you a lot of information about xbox on IE, however whilst setup for debugging is fast and kinda useful, it doesn't give all errors.

    Initially try in IE9 - The xbox 360 is similar however...

    Not Supported:

    console.log() (calling it will kill your script execution) prompt() plug-ins, flash, ActiveX controls, etc.

    Supported:

    JavaScript

    HTML5 (follows the standards in IE10)

    If anyone comes up with a better solution please let me know!
