gerwinjansen: I knew about firebug, I just need to learn how to use it more effectively<br />
DaveBaldwin: I added this add-on and I am now playing with it.<br />
Question for both of you; the web page I am &quot;testing&quot; is developed with Flash Player, will the Web Developer Add-On show the element details for Flash?

I should have asked; Can Web Developer show the type of font and size used on the web page? &nbsp;If so (and I am now looking as well), which settings should I check?

Hi, I don't think that Web Devoper will do that. You could try FlashFirebug for your &quot;testing&quot; activities, FFB needs a few other Addons btw.

gerwinjansen: I am looking at firebug, but it seems that some of the Add-on(s) need to be purchased. &nbsp;I guess I'll have to read more about Firebug.

Hello,<br />
Does either of these browsers; IEx, Firefox, Safari, or Chrome have a setting whereby hovering over the web page component will show you the name of the component? &nbsp;It would be like looking at the source code and finding the name of some check box, image, or dropdown menu.<br />
I hope you understand my question?<br />
thanks

Hello,
Does either of these browsers; IEx, Firefox, Safari, or Chrome have a setting whereby hovering over the web page component will show you the name of the component?  It would be like looking at the source code and finding the name of some check box, image, or dropdown menu.
I hope you understand my question?
thanks

Html web page components

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Web Components are a set of standards currently being produced by Google engineers as a W3C specification that allow for the creation of reusable widgets or components in web documents and web applications. The intention behind them is to bring component-based software engineering to the World Wide Web. The components model allows for encapsulation and interoperability of individual HTML elements. Support for Web Components is present in Chrome and Opera and is in Firefox (with a manual configuration change). Microsoft's Internet Explorer has not implemented any Web Components specifications yet. Web Components consist of 4 main elements: Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, HTML Imports and HTML Templates.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
