How do I force a breakpoint in JavaScript code on event (i.e. on button click) ?
I am using Google Chrome.
Are there any browser compatibility issues that might come with it?

Look in Developer Tools (if you havn't already). Control + Shift + I. Go to sources. Select your javaScript file you want. 'Add breakpoint' will be on the right hand side. – User2 Mar 10 '14 at 15:16

Set up a button click listener and call the debugger;
Example
$("#myBtn").click(function() {
debugger;
});
