I would like to know how many pixels a textbox, which contains 4 lines of text, is high. Is there any way to see the dimensions of an object while you are on a website?
you can use firebug plugin in firefox or chrome inspector on chrome:
press F12 on chrome to load th Inspector.
download the firebug plugin from http://getfirebug.com/
In chrome when you inspect an element, the dimentions are in the right pane -> metrics.
In firebug this is done the same but the name is box model
Firefox with the firebug plugin is probably the best browser for developers (my opinion). If can tell you the calculated dimensions for elements including their padding and margins.

How do I enable this inspect element in Google Chrome? The part that is enclosed in red box.
Because right now, by default, this is what I see with my inspect element.
Do I need to install something or this is within settings?
Your screenshots are from different browser dev tools. If m not wrong, the top one is on Firefox where the bottom one is Chrome.
The Inspector tab is similar to the Elements tab in Chrome
The Debugger tab is similar to the Sources tab in Chrome
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 cam across this problem when i started to design websites, they look zoomed in in chrome and edge, but it is okay in firefox.
The same websites looks perfect in my friends chrome browser. So, I must have some config settings inaccurate.

I did not find path in while creating shorcuts as stated in one of the comments--
This comment by #Deepak-MSFT fixed the issue. Votes to him on this.
Try to create a Shortcut for MS Edge and Google Chrome browser. Right-click on it and click on Properties. Go to the Shortcut tab. In the Target, field add /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1 after the path. Separate path and parameter with single space. Click on Apply and Close. Launch the browser from the shortcut and see whether it fix this issue or not.
The value of the field should be something like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-frame-rate-limit /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
Also work if Chrome is launched from the "Run dialog" as:
chrome /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
Had the same problem as you with default font size difference between Chrome and Firefox browsers and it is beacause I increased the font size in Windows 10, looks like Chrome interprets this like a general zoom increase because even the browser look is bigger now, not only the text as I intended.
Seems like a bug on Chrome side, as Firefox behaves normal and increases only the text as set in Windows.
Check the Windows font size in Settings / Ease of access / Display / Make text bigger section - there's a slider there.
My current fix is to set the default general zoom level in Chrome settings to 80%, which is a little smaller than Firefox but acceptable, probably 85% would have been perfect but I cannot set custom values.
The following quote is from O'Reilly Definitive Guide to CSS:
Mozilla and related browsers use CSS to affect the presentation of the browser chrome itself
What is actually meant by the word "chrome" in this context? Is it simply the display area?
the chrome is the UI of the actual browser not just the content shown in the page, the themeable bits, like the buttons, menus, tabs, etc
browser chrome
‘Browser chrome is a euphemism for the graphical framework and elements of the web browser window.
‘Browser chrome’ is not to be confused with Google Chrome – which is a web browser.
Chrome includes the web browser:
title bar,
toolbar buttons: ‘Back’, ‘Forward’, ‘Stop‘, etc.,
horizontal and vertical scrollbars,
status bar: the strip at the bottom of the browser window, and the window frame.
Browser chrome can be modified through the use of ‘skins’; (usually) third-party software extensions that can be used to customise colour, graphical treatment and interface metaphor.

Chrome Browsers are User Interface. With the file menu and setting menu ect It also includes back forward and refresh.
At the botton of the page it contains the status bar how much is loaded ect.
It also can include the minimise maximise and the close buttons. Exlcuding the webpage content.
I want to know is there any way to view Rulers in Firefox, alike Chrome inspect element rulers.
Chrome shows your current width, ie. Width + padding = current width on Ruler hover.
see below Chrome screenshot for ref.
Its been implemented now in new Firefox. And Firefox version 32 and above developer tools are awesome :)
Yes you can with help of some addons and a little work. All you have to do is draw the ruler and you get the exact dimensions.
Measure It let's you draw a ruler across any webpage to check the width, height, or alignment of page elements in pixels.
Also take a look at PixelZoomer. It takes a screenshot of the current website and provides various tools for pixel analysis. You can zoom into websites (up to 3200%), measure distances and pick colors with an eye dropper.
Hope I helped :) .
