Answer 1

It seems that you are having inline script code in your html file.

You can debug it using firebug.

Please follow the steps:

1. Open firebug window (press F12)
2. Go to Script tab
3. Select inline tab
4. Add breakpoints at required script lines.
5. Refresh your page.

Now you are able to debug your inline page script. :)

Answer 2

On line 1 of you script put the line

debugger;

Open the page, open firebug, and hit refresh. It should stop execution at the debugger statement.
