How to find a webpage's thumbnail? - html

Sometimes there are several photos in a webpage, and when you post a link, a thumbnail shows up. <How do you the URL of that thumbnail?>

Depending on your browser, you have to check the source code, it mights be in the HTML OR in the CSS, check both. A quick way to find is (with google chrome) to right click on the image and choose "Inspect element"

How to view the source code of a link that keeps redirecting?

I am attempting to view the HTML source code of the following link like so in chrome:
view-source:https://rankyourbrain.com/mental-math/mental-math-test-easy/submit
But it just redirects to
view-source:https://rankyourbrain.com/mental-math/mental-math-test-easy
What is happening? Is there a way to prevent this (or view source another way)?
Also, let me know if this is the incorrect forum to ask this question...
From the website you wish to view-source, hit F12 inside Chrome to view the debugger. On the Network tab, click the Preserve log checkbox.
Now you can view source without the redirects preventing the source-view page from displaying.
Alternatively, you could use a browser like Safari (on MacOS) to view source and the redirects won't affect it.

URL shown in browser while editing page source in HTML

I'm making a tutorial which involves recording my computer screen. I need to click a link that normally directs me to, say https://website.com/page. I want it to redirect me to https://website.com/another_page, which can be easily edited using Inspect Element.
However, when I click the link showing now another_page, I want the URL in browser (Firefox, Chrome) to still be https://website.com/page. Is that possible?
You could do fullscreen in which case the url wouldn't even show. I don't know if that would work with your screen recorder, but it's worth a try. You could also the edit the url directly at the top of your screen so that it shows https://website.com/page and move your keyboard focus away from it so that it appears that the url is https://website.com/page.

Chrome can't see images that require username/password

So this is a weird problem, I am attempting to embed a video stream from a D-Link DCS-930L into a web page. My embed looks like this:
<img alt="" src="http://guest:password#192.0.0.10/video.cgi">
The problem is that Chrome displays a broken link image when I load the page, while Firefox and IE load it perfectly the first time.
But the really strange part is that if I right click on the broken image > Open link in new tab the stream loads, and then if I close the tab and refresh the page with the embed it loads there too! So it's definitely something to do with the username/password requirement.
I have also tried creating a user without a password but I see the same issue. There is no setting to disable this requirement in the 930L's control panel that I can find.
Does anyone know how to fix this? If not, is there a way to use PHP to execute a login automatically for the above kind of URLs?
This appears to be intentional behavior on Chrome's part since v19. Bummer.

Where to see font files loaded by chrome in the inspector?

What tab in chrome inspector shows the font files you're loading via font-face? I can't find it under resources. I'm having an issue where one group of font-family files are loading, but another font-family is not. I have checked everything from going directly to the URL and seeing they are indeed present, but I would like to look in the inspector and see it loading the one font-family but not the other. Is this possible with chrome?
You can also select any text node in the elements panel, then look at the bottom of the computed styles tab to see what fonts are rendered for that element
You can view the downloaded web fonts using the Network tab:
The best way so far
You can actaully do rightclick: inspect > Application (on the top tabs) > Frames (scroll on the left tabs) Then you can find a Font section where all loaded fonts are listed. It also has a preview for the fonts. It lists all fonts that are loaded in any possible way.
The best part is that, It also previews them on the right, to make it even easier to find the one
Then you can right-click on the one you chose and click open in a new tab, and it downloads it. Then you can add a .woff at the end of the filename and use it anywhere you like. (you can get its extension on the bottom of the preview too)

Position of last-visited page

How does websites like Facebook or Stackoverflow remember the position I was at when I navigate away from their site to another site and hit the "Back" button on my browser?
It's not the website, it is the browser. If you have used ID's in your code, the browser will remember approximately which one you were at when you clicked a link.
