Inspect an element to investigate jQuery event bindings

问题

Hypothetical: I find a page with a button ('#bigButton'), that when clicked causes a llama ('img#theLlama') to show() using jQuery.

So, somewhere (say, Line 76) in buttons.js:

$('#bigButton').click(function(){
$('img#theLlama').show();
})

Now, let's say I have a big HTML page with a whole bunch of .js files included. I can click on the button and see the llama appear, but I have no idea where the code above is.

The solution I am looking for is very similar to that which is available with CSS in Firebug. I want to inspect the element and have it show me that this jQuery occurs in Line 76 of buttons.js, along with any other bindings on this element.

*Note: The bounty is for a specific answer to the 'llama question,' ie pointing to a the solution that is described above. *

FireQuery is a great tool for many jQuery tasks, but it does not seem to answer the llama question. If I am wrong about this, please correct me.

Using Firebug, FireQuery and this fiddle:

Hitting Cmd+Shift+C (Inspect Element) and clicking on the button reveals this:

Clicking on the events Object {click= } reveals this (after expanding some info)

And clicking on the function() reveals this:

Which should be the code you are looking for, right?

As a note, Firebug can't always find the exact line of code something came from. I've had this method fail completely! Another approach is to use named function expressions. Changing the code to:

$('#bigButton').click(function showMyLlama(){
  $('img#theLlama').show();
})

Now reveals this when inspecting the events object:

Which is way more useful than just function() as it is now obvious that this handler shows us a llama. You can also now search the code for the function name and find it!

Using Chrome, its built in web inspector and this fiddle:

Hitting Cmd+Shift+C (Inspect Element) and clicking on the button shows this:

Clicking on the button in the elements inspector then pressing Escape to open the JS Console:

In the Chrome Console, $0 refers to the selected element in the elements panel.

Typing in $._data( $0 ) will give us the jQuery (internal) data object which includes events, just like in our Firebug example, sadly, Chrome wont let us click on the function, but it will let us see the source:

A note about .live() events:

Live Events are stored on $._data( document, "events" ) and contain an origHandler that points at the function:

Given the interface you're after, I think you'll want FireQuery: http://firequery.binaryage.com/

It's a Firebug addon specifically for areas like this (a jQuery specific addon, strong in data/events).

FireQuery is the most convenient, but if you need to do it manually, you can get a reference to the click handling function with $(element).data('events').click[0].handler (of course it is not necessarily 0 if there are multiple click handlers). From there it is up to your favorite debugger to locate that function in the code. (Using named functions helps. Firebug can sometimes locate anonymous functions, but more often not. It will show the body of the function though, if you hover above it with the mouse.)

Update this is how data is shown with FireQuery:

HTML view:

console:

Well eventbug will show you all of the event handlers for an element, http://getfirebug.com/releases/eventbug but often the handler is some generic code.
