Can I modify Javascript code in Internet Explorer 11's debugger?

In IE11 I can right click on a webpage and call the Inspect Element tool. This allows me to modify HTML/CSS dynamically and is extremely useful.

enter

I can choose Edit as HTML and do whatever I want without having to reload the page.

enter

What I want is to be able to do the same in IE 11's Javascript debugger. I want to modify a script in the browser so that I do not have to reload the page entirely. The page I am working on takes 20-40seconds to load when I run it locally, meaning it takes about a minute to implement even the smallest changes in my file.js.

Can this be done?

If the JS code is embed into the HTML it should work without any problems but if it's stored I an other file you probably can't edit it in the browser. I recommend using Firefox or chrome. Both have got an inbuilt and very useful editors which can edit HTML as well as Js and CSS .
