How to terminate script execution when debugging in Google Chrome?

Question

When stepping through JavaScript code in Google Chrome debugger, how do I terminate script execution if I do not want to continue? The only way I found is closing the browse

Answer 1

There are many appropiate solution to this problem as mentioned above in this post, but i have found a small hack that can be inserrted in the script or pasted in the Chromes console (debugger) to achieve it:

jQuery(window).keydown(function(e) { if (e.keyCode == 123) debugger; });

This will cause execution to be paused when you hit F12.
