It attaches to IE and debugs _any_ script currently running - be that
MS-only JScript, plain vanilla JavaScript, or even (cough!) vbscript.

OK, here's a 'greater' implementation that answers your prayer - but
much more heavyweight. You enter into IE address bar
javascript:getIt([some id], [optional true]);
The optional parameter doesn't work with FF due to outerHTML not being
a part of its object model, but setting it to false or just omitting
works.
