Description

Draws an inspector rectangle around the bounds of an HTML5 element.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Sub InspectNode( _ ByVal Selector As String _ )

Parameters

Selector

A CSS3 Selector string of a single HTML5 element.

If you are unfamiliar with CSS3 Selectors have a look in Finding the correct CSS3 Selector article.

Remarks

This method provides the exact same functionality with Chromium DevTools Inspect Node context command.

The inspector rectangle is an overlay and does not synchronize with page scrolling.

You must care for the hiding of the overlay when the page scrolls, or if a different page is loaded.

Example
