EDIT: Updated title to change 'inline' to 'embedded' to better reflect the nature of the question, per @dmi3y's suggestion.

In Chrome I monly debug JS by setting breakpoints in my JS files, but Chrome also allows you to do this with the actual Document in the case that there's inline JS (i.e. JS that isn't in a separate .js file, but rather is in a <script> tag). I can't, for the life of me, find the same functionality in Safari. Does it exist, or am I out of luck?

Apologies if this question has already been asked...I checked the search and only found this (somewhat, but not really) related question: How to debug lazily-loaded javascripts in Safari debugger

You can do it (at least in 5.1.7 version for Windows), just go to the Scripts tab and select something like http://yoursite./ it shows the similar picture as Elements do, but you obviously could debug embedded JS there.

PS: by the way around the terminology, I usually think about inline script for something like

<a ... onclick="myfunction();" />

or

<a ... href="javascript:myfunction();" />

that stuff might be used for bookmarklets or small calls.

code into script tag I use to call like embedded

it wold be interested if debugger could actually do work with inlined script?
