@Jatt.net Nope. You can debug the jQuery code via breakpoint unless it is not minified. — Praveen

When you press F12, you can see the developer tools either in firebug or native browser tools.

Here you can place a breakpoint like in the image below

If it is an external js file, look for the file in source tab.

embedded js scripts can be found in element tab.

Now you can easily debug your scripts.
