Open up Internet explorer,

Choose 'Tools' from the top menu,

Choose 'Internet Options' from the drop down menu,

Click on the 'Advanced' tab,

Scroll down until you see a tick box for 'Show friendly HTTP error messages',

Make sure this box is UNticked.

You will now get the full, detailed error message from your browser when one of your scripts fails.
