Use developer tools in Chrome or IE and Firebug in FF.
I am. I use Chrome dev tools regularly, and used to use Firebug. MAybe this is just something I’ve not yet learned to do in either.
I’m familiar with the debugger, but only know how to us breakpoints in areas of code that I’m already looking at. If there is a way to simply break at the next executed line of JS, I’d love to know what that is!
Thanks
So this is a WP plugin? Check scripts in source code?
Doing that. It looked like Thickbox was doing the work, so I unenqueued it and it sort of stopped happening (while other things broke). So I set a few breakpoints at the beginnings of functions in thickbox and watched what happened when I clicked on the page.
This bit from thickbox looks like it could be doing some damage if domChunk isn’t being properly
function tb_init(domChunk){
jQuery('body').on('click', domChunk, tb_click);
}
Yea, I know what thickbox is, and I actually found a workaround for the issue- I commented out the line in the plugin where it calls the tb_init() above. But I’d wanted to have a more advanced technique for troubleshooting this from the frontend. I try to avoid editing plugin code, so I’d have liked to unhook whatever events were hooked to whichever element. I think I can probably figure that out now with some trial and error, but I’ve got to move on.
