Patrick Mueller commented on CB-540:
------------------------------------
I've added two Web Inspector capabilities to weinre, hopefully these will help.
1) When you reload a page with the weinre client still running, instead of
getting the collapsed <html> element, you should get what you got the first
time - nodes expanded thru <body>. In addition, if you've selected an element
in the element pane (click on it), the last selected item before you reloaded
should also be expanded out.
2) When you call the {{inspect(thang)}} function, from the console, where
{{thang}} is a DOM element, that DOM element should be expanded out in the
element pane. Note, I believe you can only call this from the console, not in
your code. Seems like it would be nice to have this available as a function on
{{console}} as well.
I think 1) will work out well, since you don't have to do anything special -
kinda does what you'd hope it'd do. The second may work out well if you have
easy access to your elements. Keep in mind you can use the ["command line API"
functions|http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Command_Line_API] like {{$()}}
and {{$$()}} with {{inspect()}}.
You can try this out in a build I just did, located here:
http://people.apache.org/~pmuellr/weinre/builds/2.0.0-pre-H1FFX7OT-incubating/
You can npm install via:
{noformat}
sudo npm -g install
http://people.apache.org/~pmuellr/weinre/builds/2.0.0-pre-H1FFX7OT-incubating/apache-cordova-weinre-2.0.0-pre-H1FFX7OT-incubating-bin.tar.gz
{noformat}
Let me know how these work out. If the {{console.inspect()}} function sounds
interesting, so you could (temporarily) add it to your code, let me know and
I'll open a bug against Big Web Inspector (and add it to weinre straight away).
I'm open for other ideas. I like the idea of "bookmarking" elements, kinda
like *Watch Expressions* from the Scripts Pane, but for the Elements Pane. I'd
rather inherit that code from Web Inspector than write it from scratch tho :-)

>
> I often use weinre to debug a particular element in the DOM and CSS changes
> to that element, which means that I'm constantly making new changes and
> re-navigating to that element in the DOM (since the Elements console loses
> its place between reloads). It'd be nice if I could either jump to an element
> by CSS selector or bookmark it somehow, for quicker debugging.
