Use Chrome's Web Inspector to inspect the element and check out the Event Listeners panel.

Web

If the code attaching the event is in a library (for example, by Zepto in my example), set a breakpoint on the line and examine the call stack to see where it originated in your code.

Call

As you can see, the event has originated in my code and now I know the filename and line number.
