In IE I can set breakpoints and debug just fine.

In Chrome I’m able to view the script but I have no options to set a breakpoint in the code, nor is there a “scripts” tab to navigate to for debugging. I’m confused. (Restarted chrome multiple times). I tried also setting a “debugger;” flag in the code, but that didn’t work in Chrome.

What I’ve found that works is the following (in Chrome 21.0.1180.79):
Open the dev tools (ctrl+shift+i), then click the “Sources” tab. Notice the small right pointing arrow in the grey bar, if you click this, it’ll show all the .js files loaded.
Here’s the trick. Refresh the page (F5) and now all the inline script is available in this section, so you can set breakpoints at your pleasure 🙂
