javascript - DOM attribute change debugging

Question

Somehow somewhere in my code one of the elements on the page gets a style attribute which I don't expect it to get. Namely, it gets style="position:fixed". I can see this happening in HTML tab in Firebug, but can't find it in the code. The application is fairly big and I can't simply look through all of the code to find the place, besides, several third-party libraries are being used (jQuery is one of them).

So, my question is, is it possible to somehow catch this style being changed and get the trace?

In Google Chrome, right click on an element in the page and select "Inspect Element." The Developer Tools window or pane will open with that element selected in the source view. You can then right click the selected tag and choose "Break on Attributes Modifications."
