I was doing some modifications in javascript on some website in Google Chrome to see what changes appear on the web page.
What I observed that I am not able to see the complete javascript code on the element tab in developer tools. The same code exists on the Source tab able to modify that but those modification doesn't work at it doesn't work once DOM is loaded. This is the screenshot of what I am getting:
It is in HTML edit mode and this script is part of html page.... at
the end, it is not a complete script.
ScreenShot:
Is there any way to get it complete in element tab or any other way to modify script?
If you right click on the tag and select "Edit as HTML", you'll be able to access the whole script, without the hyphenation.
You won't be able to change Javascript code through the source tab and expect it to run your new code on reload. If you want to run Javascript on a website with Google Chrome Developer Tools, I'd suggest using the console tab and adding the code you'd want to run on the website. It won't save, but it's essentially the same as injecting Javascript to run on a website.

Please how can i attach a JavaScript file to my chrome, so as any page loads it runs the code on that page?
Does chrome save the html pages it loads somewhere on local disk c that it can be accessed?
solution 1:
As a previous user said, you can build your own extension and you can run it in chrome.
solution 2:
IF it is only a temporary task, you can click on F12 (open the DevTools) and click on Console. There you can paste your own javascript function / script that will be run in the current page.
Note this works only for the current page (where you have the console opened).
solution 3:

You can make a chrome extension to run your script.
I recently downloaded Adobe Brackets onto my computer, but I soon realized I wasn't able to use jQuery in the same way I had before. The jQuery isn't functioning at all in the program and it is vital to the way the program works.

You can use developer tools in the browser to debug problems like this. For example, in Chrome:
Open the menu and choose More Tools > Developer Tools
Select the Console tab
Are there any errors listed in red? If so, what do they say? If the error links to a specific line of code, you can click it to go to that code. Often looking at the code and the error message together makes it obvious what's wrong. (And if not, you can post those two pieces of information in your question here so others can help you).
Select the Network tab, then reload your page to get fresh information
Click the filter icon (it looks like a funnel) and type "jquery"
Are any of the network requests in the list shown in red? If so, then the browser was unable to load jQuery – make sure you're using the correct URL. If there are no jQuery items showing up in the list, make sure yous HTML <script> tag has the correct syntax.
I am using bootstrap modal, I dont know where I have put the js code that triggers the modal after clicking the button.
jQuery('#signin').modal('show');
I checked each file...even checked each JS file in source in browser.
How can I find which code is triggering the event in browser when I am clicking the button to open a modal?
Use a developer tool for a browser which will allow you to perform Javascript debugging. Your best bet is most likely Firebug. If you set a debug point at a line within a JS file, firebug will allow you to inspect the stack to see which line has called the function.
Instructions
In Firebug, click the script tab.
Select your .js file using the drop down.
When the JS file displays find the target line and click to the left of it, setting a debug point.
Load your page, the script should stop at your debug point.
Click the Stack tab on the right and inspect.
Searching for Script in Firebug
If you click the script tab you can enter a known piece of the script in the upper right hand corner of firebug, this should take you to its location in the code.
I agree with Kevin, another option is to print the stack trace using something like:

I am using javascript for an ascx control in my application.
I am getting some errors and want to debug the same.
I have put the debugger in my javascript and unchecked disable script debugging for internet explorer.
When my script is getting executed, I get the debugger launched, and when I attach the javascript (here it is in a separate file ), There is a message as,
There is no source code available for the current location.
What could be going wrong here.
I hope to get some tips on debugging javascript with ascx control
To debug Javacript embedded in a ascx control, you can use chrome explorer.
Here is the step.
Open the page that has the user control in it.
Press F12 on that page.
go to Sources in the "DevTools"
Find pages in the "Sources" tab
click on the page name that you are debugging.
you will see the source code in the middle pane.
your user control javascript is included in the page's source code, this is the key.
use Ctrl + F to find that javascript by the method name you want to debug
add breakpoints to that method and debug
Hope it helps.
To debug JavaScript, Hit f12 in your browser. This will open the developer tools in most browsers. (with Firefox, this assumes you've already installed firebug, which has to be installed separately as an add-on.)
Select the script tab, set your break points by clicking the margin to the left of the line of code where you want to break. If you are using IE, click "start debugging". Then perform an action on your page that will trigger your code. Happy debugging.
I noticed that the source code shown in Firefox appears to be incomplete. I have the latest version. When using the Firebug plugin to look at a webpage, I am able to find elements which are simply not recognized by Firefox.
This is for a automated script I am working on.
I am wondering several things:
Why is a firefox plugin able to recognize elements Firefox is not?
Is there a way to pass the source from Firebug engine to Firefox, or any other viable workaround which would enable Firefox to recognize all of the elements on the page?
My guess is that these "hidden" elements have been created by javascript after the page load, but I'm not really sure.
I'd say Firebug is displaying what's in the DOM (i.e. what is in the page at the instant you are looking at it), while View Source is displaing the source that has been received from the server (i.e. what is in the page at the first instant it's displayed).
If you want to see the "source" from the DOM, maybe the Web Developper Toolbar Extension can help : from what I remember, it provides a "view generated source" option.
For No.2
Open Any Page, and Press Ctrl+A or Select All, and right click, click View Selection Source, You should able to see any html nodes as you see in Firebug.
Your guess is correct. "View source" reveals exactly what the server has passed down to the client. What Firebug shows you is the "rendered source code", which is taking the current DOM state, and rendering it back into a HTML representation, that may or may not look very much like the actual HTML code written.
Your question is unclear.
The View Source command displays the raw HTML that was downloaded from the server.
Firebug's HTML tab shows the elements that are currently on the page.
Any changes made by Javascript will show up in Firebug (which gives a live view), but not in View Source. (Because they weren't in the HTML that was downloaded from the server)
Firefox's View Selection Source command, which appears only when some text is selected, shows the live source from the DOM and should show exactly what you see in Firebug. (Except that it won't update after you click it, so if the DOM changes again, you'll need to click it again to see the change)
To see the source for the entire page, you can press Ctrl+A, then right-click and click View Selection Source.
If theis doesn't answer your question, please elaborate.
Firefox shows the source code as it comes from the server, any alterations to it via JavaScript will not show up. Firebug keeps track of the changes to the document and updates the source code.
Doing Ctrl-U or View | Source will just give you the static HTML document that is returned by the server.
What you probably want to look at - and what you are seeing in Firebug - is the rendered DOM. If you install a Firefox addin such as Web Developer you will be able to view the rendered DOM - i.e. the HTML dynamically rendered in javascript and the actual document the renders in the browser.
