So, when I try this with the trunk I get an error on the console: 2010-01-21 11:17:24.288 Safari[20905:80f] *** -[WebRenderNode initWithWebFrameView:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1f930270 and nothing happens. > > It would be great to add more knowledge of the render tree, including > anonymous renderers, to the Web Inspector! It would be never nice to be able to select an element in the web inspector and then be able to say "show me the rendering tree". That would result in the tree display with that element's rendering object being selected. I would want to be able have similar information to what is displayed in the web inspector for an element. Specifically, I'd want the computed style and metrics. -- --Alex Milowski "The excellence of grammar as a guide is proportional to the paucity of the inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language considered."
