Doing web page stuff, you need to get to know the object browsers for the browser you are using. I never use IE but both Firefox with Firebug, or Chrome, my favorite, with developer tools have some excellent tools. In your case, it sounds like you are not including the js files in every page. Also, you need to use the none-mimified version of the js file when developing. Makes it much easier to step through the code in debug mode.
