Answer 1

I've been finding some of Chromes more recent debugging features very useful. Bring up the inspector(Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to the Network tab before launching your application or performing the actions in question. Each http request will show the origin of the request in the Initiator column. If javascript initiated the request, it will show you the filename and line number with a clickable link to go straight to it.
