I'm trying exactly the same (rebuild "Inspect" with the blue
border) ...

I've tried the onmouseover-solution but the problem is:
1)  if you set the border of the elements via "style.border" a jiggle
effect occurs.

So I tried the "create elements with absolute position and z-index"-
version which also has issues:
2)  a new z-index-div will be an overlaying element which hides/covers
the children contained within the originally "mouseovered"-element.
Following mouseover-events or calls for document.elementFromPoint(x,
y) only retrieve the topmost element (your own added element with z-
index) which lies under the mouse position but not the elements in
deeper layers.

So, is there a way to pass the event through, or a link to the covered
elements? Missed I something?

John got me curious ...

@Mike: How are you doing this (but I could also live with the current
"Inspect" implementation)?

Any help is appreciated cause I'm really stuck. :)
