Is there a way to tell which javascript file holds an event handler?

This problem has bothered me for a while and Im sure theres some sort of technicality which stops this from being possible, but is there a way to find which Javascript file is linked to a button?

So when I press a submit button and it triggers a Javascript event, I need to find the code which is being triggered rather than trawling through every link in the head of the html trying to find 

"jQuery('submitBtn').click(..."

Im using Firebug and sometimes Chrome's console.

You could use Visual Event 2 which tells you the source file and line number (i think it works on chrome)

Visual Event is an open source Javascript bookmarklet which provides debugging information about events that have been attached to DOM elements. Visual Event shows:

  • Which elements have events attached to them
  • The type of events attached to an element
  • The code that will be run with the event is triggered
  • The source file and line number for where the attached function was defined (Webkit browsers and Opera only)
