How can I search inside javascript text with firebug?

Question

The "search" (magnifying glass) on the top-right hand corner of firebug does not search inside javascript blocks, so if I have, for example, this:

<script type="text/javascript">

    var fooBar = "baz"

</script>

somewhere in a page, I can't find where "fooBar" is located. Is there any way to do it?

Answer 1

If you switch to the script tab, it will search inside script tags. Just make sure the HTML file is selected in the file drop-down (it should be by default).

If you don't need to use Firebug specifically, you can also search in the View Source window.
