Status: RESOLVED FIXED

I'm not a javascript hacker, so apologies if this uses improper terminology.

I'd love to be able to use the inspector to find the location of where any given object was defined in js source.

If an img tag has an onclick="foo()", it'd be great to be able to click on the foo identifier and see where the js interpreter thinks that it is defined.

I am on an Aurora of v11, so this might have been implemented already.

Thanks for the feedback. This hasn't been implemented yet, but we have thought along these lines. I don't think there's a bug open for this yet.

A quick way to jump to the JavaScript functions associated with an element would be cool.

Looks like we do have this features for ages thanks to the event tooltip.
