I use chrome all the time when developing my sites, although recently when inspecting elements randomly the style section of the editor will disappear and just show me the padding border and margin section and not the actual style of elements anymore. I've attached a picture of what happens. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Can anyone help here, i'm wondering if this is actually a bug or expected behaviour?
Chrome Dev Tools seems to not be allowing hovering elements and highlighting of them in Iframes over a certain height.
For example, look here:
http://csreis.github.io/tests/cross-site-iframe-simple.html
now if you set the iframe height to 3000px, and then go and try to inspect the 'Cross the bridge' button. It does not highlight or allow you to select anything below the container you can see about half way down the picture.
I am getting this same behaviour on a different project I am working on, where the highlighting is not working in dev tools in an iframe.
Is anyone else getting this behaviour? I am using Chrome 88.0.4324.190 and am seeing this behaviour on other machines too. I am not getting this behaviour using Firefox which allows me to highlight all elements in iframes. I'm stumped on this one.
Thanks.
I have a page, all styles are authored using em unit for sizing. I am facing a strange issue in IE9.
I have a requirement to have custom zoom buttons. By clicking on that button, I am increasing the font-size of body. Eg from 1em to 2em and all child elements gets the higher inheritance and zoom is applied.
But whenever zoom is applied, texts are hidden in SELECT and INPUT fields. This gets fixed as soon as you interact with that element - that is as soon as you focus the cursor on that element, everything looks okay.
See this picture:
What could be the issue? How I might fix it?
Please note, I tried making a JS fiddle, but no success on reproducing the issue. A clone of what I have in real app can be seen here: http://shekhardesigner.github.io/IE9-EM-Sizing-ZOOM-Issue/
Make sure you have correct Standard Doctype Rendering, also you could add
"<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" />" inside the head tag. It helps to display the webpage in edge mode, which is the highest standards mode supported by Internet Explorer, from Internet Explorer 6 through IE11.
I'm aware that an iframe can't inherit the css styles of the "main" webpage, but if so I am confused. I have a main page whose background is plain black, with white text. The iframe doesn't have a background colour specified and yet it is black, the same as the main page. However, other css properties in the main page have to be defined separately for the iframe if I want them to be used. Why is this?
If you do not set the background of an HTML document (by setting it on its html element or its body element), the browser default will be used, and it can be expected to be the initial value, transparent.
This means that for a page embedded in another page with the iframe element, you can expect the background of the embedding page to shine through.
You can use Developer Tools to figure out where the black background is coming from. (It's built into the browser.)
If you are using IE or Chrome, you can just press F12 on your keyboard and then use the element selector (top left) to select the IFrame. On the left you will then find all the CSS styles that are applied on that IFrame.
This will give you an insight on what's happening and also give you a new priceless tool to debug in the browser.
Note: If you use firefox, you will need to install firebug.
This can also come useful.
Precedence rules in CSS (1 is most Precedent):
User defined style
Embedded or inline style sheet
Internal style sheet
External style sheet
Browser default style
This may be Firefox specific. See here and here.
I'm encountering a strange issue.
I have a facebook button at the bottom of a page. When clicked, the facebook "Comment/share" box pops up.
The behaviour is correct under FF and IE, but not in Chrome, where the box is cut by the bottom of the page. In other words, the page isn't resized as it is under FF and IE.
The page has a min-height and max-height, and the containers have an overflow:visible attribute as the facebook docs advises to avoid some display issues of the share iframe.
The curious thing is that the bug disappears by simply opening the developer tools, and checking/unchecking any CSS attributes of any parent element of the FB-button.
My guess is that the resize of the window isn't captured by Chrome when the button is clicked, but it is when using the developer tools.
I tried to explore other sources of the problem (max-height not working properly or a higher element having a overflow:hidden) but I found nothing conclusive.
Thank you for help.
You may have an issue if you're running a theme in Chrome. If you are, try resetting to the default theme:
options > personal stuff > themes > reset to default theme
Also, make sure you aren't zoomed out or in. Chrome gets a little funky with the zooming.
Assuming those aren't the issues, try putting the Share code in a div with a unique ID or class:
<div id="myFacebookContainer">Plugin HTML Here</div>
Your CSS would include something along the lines of this:
#myFacebookContainer span{
height:25px;
}
#myFacebookContainer iframe{
height:25px;
}
I hope one of those suggestions helps!
I am having issues with overlaying divs with transparency and being able to click on both layers in Chrome (but not IE).
In my search for answers I found the following example to illustrate:
http://www.searchlawrence.com/click-through-a-div-to-underlying-elements.html
The source for that page is commented to explain about transparency.
If I view this page in IE I can highlight (ie interact) both the text in the box("Here is a div with...") AND the text at the top ("This DIV is overlayed on..."). However, when I open the same page in Chrome, I cannot select the text at the top.
This highlights the issue I am having in using iframes which contains links, but I also want the page containing the iframe to also allow links to be clicked. The transparanecy works in Chrome in as much as I can see both sets of links, but can only click those on the top layer (ie the iframe). The top iframe allows me to see what is behind but not interact with it.
I know about pointer-events:none however, that then stops the links on the iframe. I can basically get it working on the background html OR the overlying iframe but not both!
Hope this all makes sense and thanks in advance.
It seems that the solution specifically for chrome is using the css:
div#parent, div#parent div {pointer-events:none;}
meaning Div, and all children div as well should enable clicking through.
