Project I'm working on uses jQuery.

I have a series of Ajax calls being made that load() other HTML fragments which in turn load() other fragments. The whole thing is confusing. I didn't write the code.

Is there any tool which will allow me to walk the callstack so I can figure what is calling a method? any browser tools that would help me figure this out?
