@LesshardtoofindDec 20.2012 — You are showing a Call to a function and not a Function definition.

Usually the function will be defined somewhere in between two <script></script> tags. If not that then they will be referencing another using the script.src = blahblah.js.

That is why I said right click view source.


Next step would be to find the script tags and see if they define it on that page or if they are using a link
