Break on a DOM event

If you're listening to a particular DOM event, you can tell the debugger to break when the event is triggered without having to track down the listener and set a breakpoint manually.

First, open the events pane by clicking the button in the toolbar that opens the shared variables/events pane. Then click the tab labeled "Events". The events pane will list all events for which you have assigned a listener:

Then check the box next to the event you want to break at.

When the event is triggered the code will break at the start of your listener.
