Find javascript that is changing DOM element
The accepted answer doesn't fully answer the question, because it doesn't help with page loads.
I solved this issue but putting a script block immediately following the element in question.
<script type="text/javascript"> debugger; </script>
I was then able to attach the dom motification break points. By right clicking the element and selecting "break on" -> "attribute modifications" in the developer tools as described in other answers.
Right click on DOM element > Break on > Attributes Modifications
