Inside the DOM Panel you get information about all the different DOM properties and methods. For objects and arrays it offers a expandable tree view. Clicking on them limits the display of the DOM tree to these objects resp. arrays and shows the current element path as breadcrumb list inside the Panel Toolbar. Clicking on a function jumps to it inside the Script Panel. Note, that the panel shows a snapshot of the current state. Changes to properties don't take effect on the display of the DOM panel until you are refreshing it.

Panel Toolbar
Property Path
The path from the currently selected property up to window is shown as breadcrumb list inside the Panel Toolbar. Clicking on one of the items displays the contents of the appropriate property of the DOM tree. Right-clicking on the Panel Toolbar offers an option for refreshing the displayed data.
Context Menu
| Option | Context | Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copy Name | Property List | - | Copies the name of the selected property to the clipboard |
| Copy Path | Property List | - | Copies the property path up to the selected property to the clipboard |
| Edit Property... | Property List | - | Lets you edit the value of the property |
| Delete Property | Property List (user-defined properties and functions) | - | Deletes the property |
| Break On Property Change | Property List (user-defined properties and functions) | - | Script execution will be stopped, if the selected property is changed |
| Refresh | Property List, Property Path | - | Refreshes the display of the Property List |
Depending on the property value there are different options offered related to it. E.g. if the value is an HTML node, you'll be offered special options related to it, which are described inside the HTML Panel.
For functions the additional context menu options are:
| Option | Shortcut | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Log Calls to "<function name>" | - | Logs calls to the given function; see monitor for more info |
| Copy Function | - | Copies the whole function to the clipboard |
Color Codes
Different color codes let you distinguish between the different types of variables and improve readability. Here they are in detail:
| Format | Description |
|---|---|
| Bold Black | Objects |
| Black | DOM objects |
| get in gray | "Getter" functions |
| Bold green | User functions |
| Green | DOM functions |
| Bold Red | Constructor functions |
Auto-Completion
Like in the Console, CSS and HTML Panel variables are auto-completed while typing. This enhances productivity and supports you making changes.
localStorage
Note that localStorage is just an object so you can create, view, and edit it in the DOM view.
