Is there a way to get to position and size of an element in HTML through a program or debugger or anything like that? I would like to know so that I can set a background image easily without modifying the position an infinite number of times to get it correct.
As you can see in the debugger (Firefox) the box of the element is displayed. Is there a way to get the position of this box and the size?
I have managed to find the element properties through Firefox's developer tools. Right click and inspect the element and then the developer box will appear, and all you have to do is click "Box Model":

I am making project in Angular 5. When I inspect the CSS there is tag. If we want to change or find out that CSS is coming from which file basically or which line number of that file (like we do in normal html page). How can I find it?
With angular, the CSS is injected straight into the html page during compilation.
Therefor it's not possible to see where the CSS came from with the DevTools.
However, it is possible to see the CSS styles applied to an element, if you want to find out which file it came from, you will have to search the project.(ctrl+shift+f)
If you're using Google Chrome, you can use the developer console. Safari has a similar interface, but I'm not as familiar with that.
To access the developer console on Chrome, use keys Cmd-Option-I and you should see a console pop up on the right of your browser window. Next, if it isn't already selected, select the Elements tab at the top. You should now see the html that your browser rendered into the site.
Next, you'll want to select the element you want to inspect. You can either do this by accessing the nested HTML structure directly, or if you select the mouse icon at the top left of the window, you can select an element on the webpage and it will be expanded in the developer console.
Once you've selected an element (it should be grey/blue highlighted), you can see its styling at the bottom of your tab. The styling is in decreasing hierarchy order: the top elements override the bottom ones. You can see the styling is grouped based off of the id/class that it is applied to and at the top of each section is the file line of from which the styling came. Click that link to see the file!
There's an element that appears on the site, but I can't seem to find it in the inspector of the browser. I would like to hide it somehow.
On this page: http://gdhbau.hu/#bemutatkozas
It is the "BEZÁR" word with white color, next to the "Becsuk" button, when clicking on the "MÉG TÖBB" button (to expand the content).
This problem shows up when I turn on the "Automatically add paragraphs" in the WordPress SiteOirgin editor; but I need to use it, otherwise the content falls apart.
EDIT: This is with the plug-in called: "Collapse-O-Matic"
You will never find it since it's not an element.
It's part of the image in the background http://gdhbau.hu/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/bemu-bg-large.jpg
I have a text box that is enabled, but almost acts like it is disabled.
It will only put the cursor in the textbox if I click on the left border of the box. If I click in any of the other normal white space in the box, it doesn't do anything. I have to hunt for the 'sweet spot' to get the cursor to appear and start typing.
This seemed to randomly crop up and I do not know of any settings that would relate to this behavior.
Any Ideas?
It is being covered partially by another element. Use a tool that allows you to right click and inspect an element, such as Firefox's built in inspector or firebug and that should show you the element that is in front of the textbox.
I see this type of menu all over the Internet as a way to filter out data:
Does it have a specific name? I'm particularly interested in seeing how the pushed in effect is achieved. I've gone through the Chrome developer tools but viewing the CSS applied Chrome only returns a few classes and not the id of the element.
The menu type does not have a specific name as far as I know (although for all effects and purposes it is a set of radio buttons).
The pushed in effect is caused by an inset shadow and darker background color.
Here is a JSFiddle.
That menu is from Google maps.
It is what I might call an "icon" menu.
Buttons are not pushed in.
Instead, the images are swapped in and out depending on what is chosen.
Javascript is used to change the images and the content below the images.
Use Chrome and go to Google Maps. Type in an address and then click Get Directions. Once the buttons appear, right click on one of the button and choose Inspect element. That will show you the code that Googe is using.
The pushed effect is simply an image applied to the element when it's clicked
They're usually done with sprites
Here are some sprites from google
When the image is hovered/clicked a different spot on the image is used as the background for that element.
I'm dynamically generating an imagemap for a chart tool I have.
I was hoping to be able to set a border or color on the area tags so I could check everything was being generated with the right coords, but a little research shows this is not possible.
So whats the easiest way to check my image map is correct? Are there any browser tools which will "visualise" the areas?
What about using JavaScript (and jQuery) to test it?

This plugin will highlight image map areas.
You can use FireBug for that:
Right-click your image and choose "Inspect Element with FireBug"
In the HTML tab of Firebug, the image tag is highlighted: locate and expand the associated map tag, which usually is right after it
You can now place your mouse over each area tags to see them highlighted over your image
One way to visualize an area tag in Chrome is to add a tabindex to the area tag(s) you want to see, and then click or tab to it. Chrome will nicely highlight the actual outline of the clickable area.
This solution unfortunately doesn't work in Firefox.
Image Map Editor is a plug-in for Firefox. It is the best tool I have found so far, makes creating, inspecting, and editing image maps very easy.
In Chrome you can select the area of the image map and click on the three little dots
to the left and then select "focus"
Never thought I would ever say that, but this is one of the few cases where Dreamweaver could be helpful. You'll have an interface, you will be able to work with anchor points and set your imagemap easily.
