I am adding some JavaScripts via Chrome's devtools' console by simply just pasting a set of code. There is no way to open that code on the Sources panel so I can debug using breakpoints. Is there a proper way to open the code on the Sources panel that was added via console?
Any other ways than adding debugger; along with the code. Or a syntax error, which then shows me the file name on the right side, which opens the code in a tab in the Sources panel. Attached the two scenerios on the screenshot attached.
Open the devtool and open the Sources tab. Click on the Snippets tab on create a new snippet. Write yout code in the snippet. Then right click on the snippet created and click run !! You should be able to debug from here ;)

As shown on the top left, the code is transferred on by opening the code in a separate file via chrome. The vs. code tab is where the raw code is displayed. Unfortunately, after incorporating the console.log command and applying an equation, the answer did not show up in the console.
Each browser tab has it's own console corresponding to the content in its tab.
Based on your screenshot, it appears you have the console open for the Udemy website, but you need to open the console for your JavaScript Fundamentals - Part 1 tab in order to see any console logs from the code you wrote.
You can generally open the console in any tab/window using F12 and clicking on the Console tab of the developer tools.
you sure you are inspecting the same page as the one you're asking.
there is no compilation error, if it was then pop would have not shown at first place.
try a semicolon after consol.log statement, hope that might work.
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.
I want to inspect how one of my chrome extensions works. I've opened its code in Chrome and would like to see which functions are called after extension starts.
How can I set breakpoints on each line of code or debug the whole code?
Open the Devtools Sources panel. Open the Content scripts tab, and browse to the extension script you want to debug.
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.
