Is there any way to view what functions / code are attached to any event for a DOM element? Using Firebug or any other tool.
Right-click on the search icon button and choose “inspect” to open the Chrome developer tools. Once the dev tools are open, switch to the “Event Listeners” tab and you will see all the event listeners bound to the element. You can expand any event listener by clicking the right-pointing arrowhead.
The addEventListener method is used to register such a handler. Each event has a type ( "keydown" , "focus" , and so on) that identifies it. Most events are called on a specific DOM element and then propagate to that element's ancestors, allowing handlers associated with those elements to handle them.
There are three ways to assign an event handler: HTML event handler attribute, element's event handler property, and addEventListener() .
DOM elements can have functions hook onto events. The functions are called event handlers and the DOM element is known as an event target. The example code block shows how to register a function as an event handler.
The Elements Panel in Google Chrome Developer tools has had this since Chrome releases in mid 2011 and Chrome developer channel releases since 2010.
Also, the event listeners shown for the selected node are in the order in which they are fired through the capturing and bubbling phases.
