FireFox - Inspect Element

Hi,

For the FireFox's Inspect Element feature, is there an easy way to find where a javascript junction is located?

Let's say I got a function in my HTML body such as "onclick=return CallingMyFunction()" , how do I know where this function was defined? whether in the HTML codes or in a .js file?

I need to know an effective way to locate the codes.

Thank you.

You can search JavaScript function under Firefox debugger. See attached screenshot.

Select JavaScript file from left & perform search.

I'm not using the FireBug for debugging, can you show me how using the Inspect Element instead? Thank you.

I am using default Firefox debugger not FireBug.
See attached screenshot on how to enable debugger.

@Imran, I have clicked on that, What to do next after that? I can't see the same interface as what you shown in comment: ID: 42042319

You can open JavaScript debugger on Firefox by Clicking Menu > Developer > Debugger.

Or use keyboard keys Control + Shift + S

Your explanation is not clear enough.

I found the answer by using  "!" before the keyword.

Trowa, I thought you were stuck with opening debugger console not on how to search.

I am still happy if you got it working though.

Thanks.
