Safari 6: Webkit Web Inspector doesn't work

I updated Safari to 6 on Lion.
After that, I experiences some crash, then Webkit Web Inspector got broken.
I can do nothing with it.
The new Safari original inspector works.
Also, Delete key doesn't make "Back". Is it normal?
Anyone knows how to fix or repair Safari?
I did try "Reset Safari" but it didn't help. Disabling extension and plugins also didn't help.

Agreed 1000%.  Some may say that it's just a matter of getting used to the new inspector UI.  However, after having used it constantly for several weeks, I can definitively say that the new UI really is, plainly and simply, bad.  It's bad for productivity as far as finding what you need.  And it's slower by a large margin when viewing page source info, et al.  I can no longer easily find out where a particular CSS property was set.  I can no longer disable or override a particular CSS property.  The console log isn't always consistent: sometimes it defaults to showing me past logs when I just want to see the current log.  The network request timeline is not as useful (I want to see cumulative load time for each resource).  The "Issues" section confounds me; I have no idea how to use it so it just gets in the way and makes me think that the developer tools are half-baked.  "View Source" no longer shows the raw HTML source but rather Safari's syntax-highlighted version.  Often I really do just want to see the raw source.  And it's been a pain in the butt trying to memorize what each icon means (this is called "mystery meat navigation" where you see only icons without supplemental text).  The only thing I'm happy to see is the new console log history.  Everything else is an absolute horror to work with.  Did Apple create this new Inspector primarily to help its own, internal developers while not thinking about the majority?  For me, the new implementation is nearly useless to work with; I'm probably going to start using Chrome exclusively for web development.
Apple, if you're listening, this is the sound of your developers fleeing the platform.  This is not hyperbole, this is reality -- Safari is no longer useful to develop for the open-standard web that you've pushed so very hard for.

  • Safari 6: WebKit Web Inspector Annihilated

    Anyone have this problem and, hopefully, solved it?
    When I use the WebKit Web Inspector, it doesn't show anything but what you see on the screenshot below. If you look closely, the top bar of the inspector that should show selections such as: ELEMENTS, RESOURCES, NETWORK, etc... doesn't show any of that, instead it clips part of the website and keeps that clip static. As you can see in the image, parts of the screen on the Macbook Pro graphic has been sliced and kept statically at the bottom, it never moves or disappears.
    On top of that, nothing ever loads in the inspector except the options at the bottom which also does nothing. I can't even pop the inspector out of the window, clicking on that option does nothing.
    I can't use the new inspector as that also has issues. On the old inspector, the NETWORK option was useful for troubleshooting AJAX web applications; on the new one, data returned from an XMLhttprequest no longer shows in it's own section, instead it's just bundled with other random bits of data that has loaded previously and it it doesn't seperate them out by the order in which requests came in, instead it tries to put them in alpha order which is a bad thing, because there is no way of telling what request came in and when.
    I kept the old copy of Safari incase S6 would break something, and it did, but when I try to run Safari 5, it just crashes. I want to downgrade Safari back to the previous version, but I haven't a clue how.
    I had to switch to Chrome to continue with web development, but I would like to work in Safari. Any ideas?
    Reinstalling the entire OS for this one issue is not an option and never should be.

    @CodeLickerI already addressed the new Inspector which I said is also an issue. There's a whole paragraph for it even.
    @rynkydynkyThanks, but I ended up switching to Chrome and I am actually liking it better than Safari, plus it has a working Web Inspector and tabs that don't stretch into infinity on a 27" iMac.

    IE9 has not yet been released in final form, it is still in Beta.  I do not know if HP has any plans to support the Web Printing application on IE9, but if they do I would not expect them to release anything before the official IE9 release.

  • QT Pro Export for Web--poster doesn't work in Firefox or IE, only Safari

    Hi QuickTime gurus (within Apple and in the 'real world
    I had thought that when you Export for Web in QuickTime Player Pro, the 'poster' movie would display in all browsers, on Mac and Windows.
    Unfortunately, the poster does NOT work in Firefox (neither Mac nor Windows) nor in IE. It only works in Safari.
    See this example - http://www.wellesley.edu/~kenny/a.html
    Am I doing something wrong, or is there something wrong with the JavaScript such that it doesn't work in all browsers, or....?
    Thanks...k

    Ok here try this:
    http://setfreedenver.org/a/readme.html
    And here's the zip file for the above.
    http://setfreedenver.org/a.zip
    You should have four files in the folder that makes everything for the video in the html:
    video.m4v This is the actual video that plays.
    video.mov This is the referance video that points to video.m4v
    poster.jpg This is the poster frame.
    html.html This is the html for the above video to play in.
    Move one of the above to somewhere else and it will break the video playing in the html.
    Sidebar:
    I couldn't get this to work on my server. I had to go to my server control panel (somewhere out there in Texas) and make a MIME Type setting for the .m4v, so the video could play. Not all servers are setup to play different kinds of videos, documents or images. So, if you ever run across something that plays locally on your computer and not on your sever and your at your wits end.. Contact you server administrator and have them check the MINE setting on the server.

  • Link To Web Gallery doesn't work

    I created a password protected web gallery in Aperture, but when it has completed uploading, the URL to the gallery doesn't work, it never loads in Safari. When I go to My Gallery home page I see the icon for the gallery with the lock as it should be but when I click on it, I get the message " that access for this gallery is restricted and to contact the owner of the gallery" instead of asking me for the password.
    If a gallery is not password protected it shows up just fine. Am I missing something? Why doesn't the url for a password protected gallery work.

    Just as a note, it works fine in Firefox. It seems to be an issue with Safari and .Mac.

  • Web browsing doesn't work

    Hi all.
    I have a problem with my MacBook. Sometimes I can not browse internet. Internet is connected, skype, lync, outlook, everything is ok except web browsing. Chrome and Safari browsers do not work - it looks like there is no internet conectivity.
    I have a windows based PC connected to the same router and everything including web browsing is ok there. Only mac has problems.
    I am really confused from it. Can you help me?
    Thanks a lot.

    And I couldn't reach admin page of my router from os X.
    If you have room on the Mac's boot drive, create another Admin account and log into it and try Safari and Chrome there.
    If it works, install Firefox right away as it's a non-Webkit browser, which Safari, Chrome (and now Opera) are and suspectible to the same exploits that Apple just released a huge patch for. So also hit Software Update until clear.

    Try the Mac in both accounts at other Internet locations, also bypass the router and connect to the modem (power off/on) directly to see if your router is the cause (compromised or outdated) by the Windows PC.

  • My Safari shortcut Cmd+Opt+B doesn't work. Please Help.

    Hi fellow MacBook Pro Users,
    My Safari shortcut Cmd+Opt+B, to show and hide all bookmarks doesn't work.  The same shortcut is used in a third party app Scrivener and it doesn't work there too.  I had a look at all my keyboard shortcuts listed in System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts and don't see the shortcut listed there.  Also I checked my triggers in Quicksilver and didn't see the Cmd+Opt+B shortcut there too.  Any idea how I can fix this?  Had this issue for a long while now.
    Thanks!

  • Views dropdown on list view web part doesn't work

    Thank you very much beforehand for any help with this issue, I really can't figure out what is going on.
    So, I have big list (36125 items and about 25 public views there) and view selector on list view web part just stopped respond there couple of days ago. You click on down arrow and nothing happens... There are no any java script errors in browser console,
    there are no any errors in ULS log. Profiler shows that request even is not sent to server when you click it to get list of views.
    At the same time, this web-part works correctly with other lists on this site. 
    Do you have any ideas?

    Hi,
    I understand that the view drop down doesn’t work for a specific list. Can you browse these publish views by manually change the view name in the URL? There are two view drop downs in the ribbon(one under the List tab and one under the browser tab). Are
    they all not working?
    It is a big list, you need to make sure that there are no more than 5000 items in a single view. Only 8 lookups can be added to a view at the same time. You need to make sure that these thresholds.
    For more information about these thresholds, please refer  to this site:

  • Web Interface doesn't work after installing 11g

    A couple days ago I decided to install Oracle 11g (after already having 10g Express Edition), after successfully installing 11g, I tried to access 10g EE using http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/apex, and it doesn't work anymore. I tried using a java program with Netbeans that connects to my 10g Database and there's connection with no problems and I can upload/download data with no problems, I just can't access the web interface.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Web Gallery - Upload from web page doesn't work

    I've created a web gallery with upload permissions set, no name or password, and none of my friends or relatives can get anything to successfully upload.
    I'm using iPhoto 8 version 7.0.2 (341) to build my web gallery, but uploading for others just doesn't work. They get the dialog to enter their name and email, they can choose images, they get the progress window, then nothing. I've deleted the gallery and rebuilt it, I've renamed it, I've looked in my _gallery folders on iDisk, and so no, ad nauseum, ad infinitum.
    Anybody know what's up with the Gallery?

    I've not used the upload but some have reported that it does not work BUT that uploading via e-mail does work -- give the e-mail route a try as a work around and report the problem to Apple -- iPhoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto Feedback

  • (unbelievable) gmail tasks (web app) doesn't work on 10.2.429 browser

    Google provides Tasks as web app
    http://mail.google.com/mail/help/tasks/
    here https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/128061?p=tasks&rd=1 they say to test if your device is xhtml compatible
    to test if it is, they suggets to visit this link from the mobile device
    Minimum requirements
    These are the minimum requirements to access Tasks for mobile web browsers:
    Your browser needs to be XHTML compliant. To determine whether your browser is compatible, visit http://www.google.com/xhtml and perform a search. If it doesn't work, your browser may not be XHTML compliant.
    OS 10.2 allows to browse http://www.google.com/xhtml and also to perform searches, but next it fails to parse/load the tasks page
    try it yourself http://gmail.com/tasks
    is it google not-compliant or is it the BlackBerry OS 10.2 browser?
    Thank you

    Try to open the right-click context menu of the Back button and see if you can go back further.
    The current active entry in that list has a bullet in front of it.
    If you hover an entry in that session history list then it shows the direction by adding an arrow at the left.
    You can left click an item to open it in the current tab or middle-click or Ctrl left-click an entry in that list to open that link in new tab, just like you can with other links.

  • Safari 6.0 Web Inspector CSS line number

    Please add the line number of the class or id on the css web inspector.
    The old version has the line number in front of the class
    The new one doesnt, to see it you need too put the cursor on the little arrow and shows the path on a tooltip. Please change this like the other version.
