The DOM inspector is one of the web development tools included in the Mozilla Suite and Mozilla Firefox. Its main purpose is to inspect the Document Object Model tree of documents based on HTML and XML.
A DOM node can be selected from the structure, or by clicking on the chrome of the browser. In addition to the DOM node, other views are available, including, box model, XBL bindings, CSS style rules, computed styles, and JavaScript. Document style sheets and JavaScript objects can be selected from the tree. The active element lights up with a flashing red border, which is useful for debugging CSS code. In addition to inspecting, it is also possible to edit, but not via a rich text editor.
