I'm trying to debug a JavaScript in Firefox's debugger, and it won't let me set any breakpoints, and all the step buttons (step into, step out) are grayed out. I also tried Firebug, and I have the exact same results - no breakpoints, step buttons grayed out. What gives? This is my first post here, and I apologize for my messy code here. Anywho, here's my code:
