Solution
Try the Web Essentials extension for VS. I'm fairly sure it stopped when i installed this. alternatively you can try Debug=>Attach to=> then Select.... (but you might have to do this a lot...)
Problem
I'm debugging a web site (not web project, unfortunately) in Visual Studio 2012 with Internet Explorer 9 and it seems to keep breaking on JavaScript exceptions with the standard `Unhandled exception at line x, column y in script block` dialog. This happens in a new tab titled `script block [dynamic]`. At this stage I'm really not concerned with the underlying exception, I just don't want Visual Studio to tell me about the exceptions at all. I've changed every obvious setting I can think of. So: Visual Studio Settings `Exception settings -> JavaScript Runtime Exceptions`: both `Thrown` and `User-unhandled` are unchecked. `Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> Just-In-Time`: `Script` is unchecked Internet Explorer 9 Settings `Internet Options -> Advanced`: `Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)` and `Disable Script Debugging (Other)` are both unchecked. This doesn't happen if I debug using Firefox or Chrome, but unfortunately I'm forced to use Internet Explorer 9. How can I fix this problem? Are there any options I might be missing?
