Web Inspector

Does anyone know how to access the Safari App on the computer to use Web Inspector?

Yes there is, but it does not work standalone. You must tether (with a physical cable) the iPad to a computer running Safari.

  • How do you use web inspector with Windows 7

    I plug in the USB cable from my Windows desktop to my phone, The drivers are loaded successfully, but where can I find the Windows equal to Safari's advanced preferences.

    You can't. Web Inspector can only be enabled from a Mac computer. Not Windows.  As it requires the Safari browser on the computer, and the last version of Safari for Windows was discontinued years ago and did not have that feature any way.

  • How do you save css rules created in web inspector?

    Being a web developer, I usually use Firebug on Firefox to test CSS when I'm developing a website. Ever since I got my new iMac, I've really grown to love Safari. I like the Web Inspector but I cannot seem to find a way to copy any of the CSS rules I create for testing. Is there an effective way to create CSS rules and copy the whole CSS rule (property + declarations) so I can paste them somewhere else?

    You can import and replace any styles you want from other documents, but templates are templates. That is what they are for.
    Styles are document specific for a reason. Imagine the fun and games if the styles in one document changed the behavior of same name style in other unopened documents. You would be chasing your tail forever.
    Someone would send you a file and it would inexplicably change layout and appearance just because your styles didn't match.

  • Safari 6: What happened to "Activity" view? Also Web Inspector Network view doesn't work.

    Hi all,
    I "upgraded" to Safari 6 and while it's super-fast and snappy as ****, I'm missing two features:
    1) Activity view is gone! It was the easiest way to see what kind of crap websites are loading and you could double click on files and view them. Now  that's gone.
    2) I then tried using Web Inspector to try to track down a FLV file that was being loaded (something that worked with old Safari) and I couldn't do it anymore... Flash loading is not visible in Safari 6 and yet it was in previous Safari.
    Ugh... new Safari is a great but they took two of my favorite options
    Is there something I'm missing or are these features really gone?

    If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    Check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    And try uninstalling the currently installed Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All

  • Feature request: Print function in Web Inspector

    Safari's web inspector rocks. It would be neat, though, if you could print the element you've selected. Sometimes I don't want to print an entire page, just a portion, and the Web Inspector seems like an appropriate way to specify which element to print.
    Although, Safari on the iPhone has some way of guessing which element to zoom in on when the user taps a part of the web page. I suppose there are many ways to do this.

    Nice idea, but this user-to-user forum is not the place for Safari feature requests. Try here instead:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    FYI, you can also do a selected area screen capture (command-shift-4 then click-drag-release) and print that from Preview.

  • Developer: web inspector how do I add new css rules

    I have been using web inspector for quite some time. It was a regular part of my development workflow, however, I was surprised when the safari team totally re-vamped the tool in safari 6.
    You use to be able to click on the menu in the styling section of the tool bar and click "Add new rule". Now it appears you can no longer add css rules in this way. Which is a bummer because I used this feature all the time.
    You also, use to be able to double click for a new rule when in the actual stylesheet under the Resources tab. I can no longer do this either. For the life of me, I can't figure out why the safari team would get rid of these valuable options.
    Someone please help.
    These options must still exist, as they are invaluable when working with css in the browser. Does anyone know how to add a new style rule. I read the documentation and I don't see anything about removing this functionality.
    The only way I can find to add a new rule, is through the snippet bar, which is kind of a pain as you have to add the <style> tags every time you add a new rule.
    Also, I can't figure out how to view and elements pseudo classes (i.e. :hover , :checked, etc).
    I have to say, it is a little frustrating as I don't clearly see the benefits of their redesign and it just seems harder to use. It kind of feels like they reskinned and rearranged things just to make it look new and didn't really think through how developers use this tool.
    Does anyone else feel this way with the new safari?
    Maybe I will see the light after a couple of days. I hope so because I am partial to using safari.

    Build your FGLayout prototype page so it works well in all screen sizes (mobile first, then tablet, finally desktop).    To create your home page, SaveAs index.html.   Then SaveAs page2.html, replace content.  Repeat for other site pages.

  • Trying to activate the Web Inspector in Safari on my iPad

    When I turn the Web Inspector "on" (Settings->Safari->Advanced->Web Inspector "switch" to "on" state), it tells me the following (under the Web Inspector option):
    "To use Web Inspector, connect to Safari on your computer using a cable and access your iPad from the Develop menu."
    I am connected using a 30pin to USB cable (that came with my iPad, that I use to sync using iTunes).  I have the Develop menu in Safari on my computer (enabled it long ago).  So, how do I "access [my] iPad from the Develop menu" (presumably from Safari on my computer)?
    I don't see anything that looks like some "connect to iPad", or some such, within the Develop menu in Safari on my computer.
    Thanks in advance.
    David

    What generation iPad?
    What is the iOS version?
    You need to be signed into iCloud with the same Apple ID on both devices:
    Mac: System Preferences > iCloud
    iOS: Setting > iCloud
    and make sure sync for Safari is turned on:
    Mac: System Preferences > iCloud > check the Safari box
    iOS: Setting > iCloud > turn Safari on

  • Web inspector crashes in 5.1.4

    In upgraded to Safari 5.1.4 last night. Now I have multiple crashes in web inspector. I want to look at the history.state object in the console, so I type history the the period and web inspector crashes.
    I was debugging some javascript and part way through, web inspector crashes.
    Web inspector did not do this with 5.1.3.
    Being new to the Mac world. I have a MacBook Pro and would like to revert back to Safari 5.1.3 so I can complete my project. Does anyone know how I can revert to the previous version of Safari? I am unable to do my work.

    Hi Tanny ...
    It's not possible to "revert" back to a previous Safari version    
    Try something.. 
    Go to ~/Library/Safari. Move the History.plist file to the Desktop.
    Quit then relaunch Safari. Try the Web Inspector.
    If that didn't help, move the History.plist file back to the Safari folder.

  • Safari Web Inspector console clears on refresh

    Sometimes the console on Safari's Web Inspector doesn't show me javascript errors. This makes debugging a page harder (e.g., I think a page is free of JS errors, when really Safari just isn't showing them to me).
    This is how I expect it to work: I load a page and open the Web Inspector. It shows me any JS errors. If I reload the page, the Inspector also reloads and shows me the JS errors. Often it does work this way.
    Sometimes, though, one some pages, when I reload the page, the Inspector clears and reloads like above, but the JS errors don't show up in the console (I do get a red indicator next to the JS file with the number of errors). If I close the inspector and reopen it, the errors then show up.
    I have tried restarting Safari, restarting my computer, and reinstalling Safari. This is Safari Version 3.2.1 (5525.27.1).

    I am using jQuery and calling my javascript using $(document).ready(). When, on the same page, I call my JS using window.onload, the errors show up like I would expect. I hope I have got something else wrong, because this would seem to discourage writing unobtrusive javascript.

  • Problems saving resources in Web Inspector

    Often I want to save images from web inspector. But I'm having a couple of problems.
    1. "Open Image in New Window" does nothing.
    2. "Download Image" saves the image, but names it Unkown and without a file extension.
    Has anyone been able to get either of these features working?
    Safari Version 7.0 (9537.71)

    @Carolyn:
    Yes, I did search before but restricted it to the past month, because I had the feeling that it’s worse now since the update to 5.1.10, but I may be wrong.
    It seems this is an old and unsolved common problem.
    @andy:
    “Top Sites” is hot, but I’ve never used that funny dots without any mouse-over text.
    After deleting (before starting Safari)  it’s restored by a default TopSites.plist, it seems these cookies
    - are only reloaded when viewing the Top Sites (?)
    - are not among my reappearing cookies, I have never seen such a cookie / cache on my system before (e.g. expedia, orbitz, monster, usatoday, disney, craigslist).
    And Top Sites would not explain why the Web Inspector has different infos regarding use of cookies and local storage than Safari’s “Privacy” tab.
    After playing with deleting TopSites.plist, without surfing, suddenly I have ”121 cookies or other data” at Safari’s Privacy tab, nearly all are listed as “Cache” or “Cache, Cookies” but the Web Inspector doesn’t show any of them, only my google.co.uk items.
    ---> Thanks, I’ll send a feedback to Apple.

  • In web inspector, CSS right tab doesn't show line numbers anymore ?

    I can't see the number lines of the CSS stylesheet anymore using the line inspector.
    Anyone knows how to put in back ?

    Apple has made it so you can only use Safari Web Inspector.
    File feedback as to how it has limited you.
    The information you are looking for (if I remember correctly). is hidden. you need to hover your cursor over where the information usually is and there should be an icon of a circle with an arrow in it... if you hover over that, it'll show you the content you are looking for.
    Having said that Apple is always making changes so if you were to file feedback on why this does not work for you, Apple may change it to work better for debugging websites.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    I already filed feedback about this. I state that when I inspect and element I want to be able to see the CSS file and line row it starts at without having to hover my cursor over an icon to reveal it.
    I hope this helps.

  • Sticking Safari cookies but they are not there in Web Inspector

    Hi,
    Now I’ve got the Safari 5.1.10 update (OS X 10.6.8) and still have the same problem as with several versions before, I think it’s even worse now:
    When surfing I’m used to “Safari / Reset Safari…” (with all options set to delete but website icons) to start from scratch from time to time.
    This will delete cookies and local cache, too, although it’s not clearly mentioned (?).
    My start page is google.co.uk and checking with the “Privacy” tab I usually see three items from Google.
    I think that would be OK.
    But:
    a) Sometimes there are still cookies / cache from sites that I have visited before,
    and
    b) Sometimes even after Privacy / “Remove All”
    (Cookies.plist is empty and Safari/LocalStorage folder is deleted now)
    and another Safari “Reset” some will return (e.g wikipedia.org, Local Storage, but also cookies from news or amazon or local storage use by apple.com).
    When I check using the Web Inspector / Resources there are no such elements to find, only from Google - but the “Preferences / Privacy” tab seems to know about them and they are back in Cookies.plist and Safari / LocalStorage ???
    c) Sometimes (I know, that’s bad), even when I reset + close Safari, open an other application, start Safari again - bang, several items (often more than before) are listed there but only Google is to be seen in the Web Inspector (screenshot 1).
    d) After closing the Web Inspector and “Remove All” I start the Web Inspector again, just to see e.g. a “cookie folder” from Google but it’s stating “This site has no cookies” (screenshot 2), and there are none in Safari. How would the Web Inspector know about google cookies (or local storage), only to show an empty “folder”?
    I really love Safari, I’d simply like to “flush” it from time to time when surfing.
    1) Is it my misunderstanding of Safari cookies / cache? Or the Web Inspector’s display?
    2) Why only “sometimes” (this point is most annoying)?
    3) How could I dig deeper (but I’m not a techie ! ), or
    4) Is this a known bug since years (Safari and / or Web Inspector), I didn’t find a similar topic here in the forums?
    Thank you for reading this lengthy and probably confusing stuff,
    Sancho

  • Hang while web inspector active

    While developing website content, I like to have the web inspector active for debugging purposes. If it is active and I refresh the current webpage Safari appears to hang until I remove the web inspector, then the page loads normally.
    This behaviour is mildly annoying. I wonder if this is a bug or if there is some undiagnosed problem with my web pages. Anyone else have this problem?

    You might consider posting in Apple's Developer Forums if you don't get much activity on this issue here.

  • Inspecting element on Safari 7 does not show Web Inspector

    When I run "Inspect Element" on Safari 7, nothing happens.  I don't see the Web Inspector and the page appears to lag a little bit.  I am running Mavericks 10.9.2 and Safari 7.0.3.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
