I downloaded VS Web Developer Edition. It wasn't obvious how to use
(or even find) the debugger on an existing page.

Today I found this webpage (link below) with instructions on how to
use VS Web Developer to debug on an existing page. I haven't tried
it yet, but given that I haven't used VS for quite a while (and
never the Web Developer version), this should save the time of
figuring it out step by step.
