Making Firebug break inside dynamically loaded javascript

by

I just worked on this similar question. The solution involves adding the word debugger twice; once at the top of the external file and one more time at the top of the function that needs to be debugged.

I noticed that if the debugger word was used only once, it did not work. Example:

//myExternal.js
debugger;
function myExternalFunction(){
 debugger;
 /* do something here */
}
