<h2 id="dom_inspector">Advanced Preferences - DOM Inspector</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>DOM Inspector is an optional <a href="developer_tools.xhtml">Web development
|
|
component</a>. This section describes how to use its preferences panel.
|
|
If you are not already viewing it, follow these steps:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the <span class="mac">&brandShortName;</span>
|
|
<span class="noMac">Edit</span> menu and choose Preferences.</li>
|
|
<li>Under the Advanced category, click DOM Inspector. (If no subcategories are
|
|
visible, double-click Advanced to expand the list.)</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>When you select an element, DOM Inspector can automatically highlight it by
|
|
flashing it or its border:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Blink Selected Element</strong>: Check this option to enable the
|
|
highlighting of an element that you select. By default, a flashing border
|
|
will appear around the element.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Border Color</strong>: Select the color of the border around
|
|
the element.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Border Width</strong>: Enter the width of the border around
|
|
the element.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Blink Duration</strong>: Enter the length of time
|
|
(in milliseconds) for which you want the flashing to occur.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Blink Speed</strong>: Enter the time interval
|
|
(in milliseconds) between the flashes.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Invert Color</strong>: Check this option to paint the
|
|
selected element with the inverted border color. This will cause the
|
|
whole element—including its border—to flash.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h2 id="system">Advanced Preferences - System</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This section describes how to use the System preferences panel. If
|
|
you're not already viewing it, follow these steps:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.</li>
|
|
<li>Under the Advanced category, click System. (If no subcategories are
|

|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>The System preferences panel allows you to specify what files and
|
|
protocols are opened using &brandShortName;:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Windows should use &brandShortName; to open these file
|
|
types</strong>: Select the file types that you want to open by default
|
|
using &brandShortName;.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Windows should use &brandShortName; to handle these
|
|
protocols</strong>: Select the protocols that you want to open by
|
|
default using &brandShortName;.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Alert me if other applications change these
|
|
settings</strong>: Select this if you want &brandShortName; to alert
|
|
you when other applications have changed your default &brandShortName;
|
|
file and protocol settings.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Tip</strong>: To make &brandShortName; the default browser
|
|
easily, see <a href="cs_nav_prefs_navigator.xhtml#navigator">Navigator
|
|
Preferences - Navigator</a>. Also select <q>Alert me if other application
|
|
change these settings</q> to know when other programs become the default
|
|
programs instead of &brandShortName;.</p>
