So, frameworks like jQuery are becoming more and more popular, and
making things less and less debuggable.
Where I used to write code like:
<a href="#" onclick="alert('you clicked me');">click me</a>
I'm now writing code like:
<a href="#" id="clickMe">click me</a>
<script>
$("#clickMe").click(function(){
alert("you clicked me!");
});
</script>
And that's great. Separation of code and presentation, etc etc.
But it makes firebug less useful. If I'm fixing a bug where clicking
that link breaks things, I used to just be able to inspect it in the
DOM inspector, then go look for the function that it calls. Easy.
But now I have no idea what events are attached to that particular
link. Have to start grepping through code for the element's ID, or
maybe its class, etc etc.
Would be great if Firebug added some features to help with this.
Anybody have any tips on better ways for me to approach the problem?
