thank you very much jjb for your answer, if is it possible I'd like to ask you something else:
I have just implemented a first version of my dom inspector using the same strategy to pick up target element from wich start inspection, however in my solution I use x-path dom query to know the dom structure and finally i put the result in a tree widget to visualize it, in this phase the code is too slow even if the algoritm used is quite efficent (at least is my opinion) thus I wonder: how firebug get the dom structure?? and How firebug visualize it ?? I don't see this part of code in inspector.js (that's surely my fault but I don't find it) (thank you very much again) ^n On 4 Ago, 16:56, johnjbarton <[email protected]> wrote: > When you click Inspect, Firebug adds mouseover and mousedown listeners > on the page.
