I'm using Chrome-compatible SRWare Iron 5.0.381 on XP, and was checking out what Chrome has to offer to developers, EG inspecting the contents of the DOM of a currently-loaded web page.
But when I hit CtrlShiftI, the bar is totally empty:
Does someone why this is? Do I need an add-on? Are there other Chrome-compatible tools I should know about?
It appears you’ve found a bug in that fork of Chromium. The inspector works just fine with Google.fr in the latest Google Chrome and Chromium builds. Why don’t you use one of these browsers.
Usually the reason of that is some problem in DevTools JS code.
It is a chance that problem will be solved by chrome restart.
Such kind of problems can happen when chrome is upgrading at background.
The other reason of that can be some changes which you made in DevTools.js.
Of cause if you have done some changes :)
You can troubleshoot such problem by another instance of DevTools.
As example you can try to load DevTools.html page into Safari, open WebInspector for it and check console messages.

Recently I've noticed a bug in the Chrome dev tools. As a tester, I dig into a lot of network requests and I've started seeing text overlap when looking at "Payload" under the Network tab, see screenshot. I've checked on any adons or extensions I have but none seem to be causing it. Its a small thing but a huge annoyance. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
I've tried disabling all extensions, running incognito. Nothing fixed it. Wondering if anyone has run into a similar issue.
Recently i found out that after resizing my chrome browser during testing with the inspector open, my address / URL bar disappears unfindable. although while opening a new tab i can enter URLs normally since the url bar gets autofocused, but the bar is still invisible. Does anybody know why this happens or how to disable this feature / bug.
Has anybody else seen this before, or is it just me?
Help appreciated, thx
I've had the same issue as of late. While I have not found a solution in the Chrome stable channel, switching over to Chrome Canary seems to be a valid interim fix. Of course, there could be some bug happening in one of my extensions that aren't present, but this is allowing me to get some work done.
After update to chrome 35, autocomplete in dev tools doesn't work. Is it only my issue?
Checked windows and mac, all works..
I've got some similar problems, but just on Styles panel on Elements tab. Here, I've opened an issue just to this case:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=376763&thanks=376763&ts=1400852713
I know it's not a solution, but it's the best we can do. We have to wait for someone at google (or that's involved with chromium project) fix it, and then release a new version patching it.
An alternative is using Chromium from ubuntu Software Center for now (it's still at version 34, so the autocomplete works): https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/chromium-browser/
UPDATE
This bug has been fixed on version 36
The issue has been fixed in the beta version.
(works in the current version: 36.0.1985.49 beta)
Can be download from http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/beta.html
edit:
Considering the initial message, I assumed the problem was to pop the autocomplete box in the source files search as i enter in this issue. If the problem ain't relative to this, sorry.
In the last version the auto-completion menu in dev tools doesn't appears automatically anymore, u need to press cmd+P or cmd+O (mac) to open it.
I've got the same problem. It's really annoying.
Besides, on the Elements tab, when you double click the attribute of an arbitrary tag, the attribute is automatically emptied, which, i think, is not really expected.
Hope these issues get solved as quickly as possible.
I'm currently finishing up testing a new Ruby on Rails app. Just recently, some of the pages do not seem to finish downloading in IE8. In FireFox, Chrome and Safari, everything works perfectly. The pages all validate successfully using the W3C validator.
When I view the page source in IE8, the page has been chopped off around 75% of the size it should be. IE8 claims the page is finished loading, and doesn't give any errors, but of course the page isn't rendering properly.
Has anyone seen this before? I'd really appreciate any help.
Have you tried to watch the http requests, using something like Http Analyzer or HttpWatch (like firebug for IE)? That might shed some light if there is a problem with a JS or CSS file not being found, or if the server is returning something other than a 200.
HttpWatch has a free version at http://www.httpwatch.com/download
IE8 Comes with a built in developer toolbar. Just press F12.
You should be able to diagnose most problems using it.
Also, open the page in Firefox with the Webdeveloper Toolbar addon and check if any javascript issues are arising. I find that sometimes you may only see the error in IE8 but you might only figure out what is wrong using Firefox. Give it a try!
There was a javascript call in the page that needed to be wrapped with:
document.observe("dom:loaded", function() { ... };
in order to work in IE. Apparently, it was disruptive enough to kill the entire page render. Thanks BenTheDesigner!
Since this is the first result on a Google search for IE8 not completing a page request, I thought I'd add on that I've seen the same symptoms caused by Sophos Anti Virus' Browser Helper Object which interferes with page requests and thus doesn't complete download requests every time.
Hitting F5 resolves the issue most of the time but a click to the next page can cause it to reappear. Other symptoms include odd page rendering of background images, incorrect repeating or no repeating being done at all despite a CSS declaration specifically telling a background to repeat. I spent a week debugging my CSS and XHTML only to eventually try disabling all the browser "Add-ons" and all of a sudden the issue went away.
I nailed it down to Sophos' BHO and now no rendering issues.
Is there anything like Firebug that you can use within Google Chrome?
Essential features I would like:
Inspect HTML source (select elements, delete them, etc.)
check CSS values (the built-in solution is weird, somehow)
There is a Firebug-like tool already built into Chrome. Just right click anywhere on a page and choose "Inspect element" from the menu. Chrome has a graphical tool for debugging (like in Firebug), so you can debug JavaScript. It also does CSS inspection well and can even change CSS rendering on the fly.
For more information, see https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/
Firebug Lite supports to inspect HTML elements, computed CSS style, and a lot more. Since it's pure JavaScript, it works in many different browsers. Just include the script in your source, or add the bookmarklet to your bookmark bar to include it on any page with a single click.

Just adding some talking points as someone who uses Firebug / Chrome Inspector every day:
At the time of writing, there's only Google DOM inspector and no it doesn't have all the features of Firebug
Inspector is a 'lite' version of Firebug: The interface is not as good IMO, element inspection in both recent versions is now clunky, but Firebug is still better; I find myself trying to find the love for Chrome (since it's a better, faster browser experience), but for development work, it still just sucks for me.
Live preview / modification of DOM / CSS is still way better in Firebug; calculated CSS and box model view are better in Firebug;
Somehow it's just easier to read/use Firebug maybe because of the ease of navigating, manipulating/modifying the document in several key areas? Who knows. I'm used to the interface and I think Chrome Inspector is not as good although this is a subjective thing I admit.
The Cookies/Net tab are extremely useful to me in Firebug. Maybe Chrome Inspector has this now? Last time I checked it did not, because Chrome updates itself in the background without your intervention (gets your consent by default like all good overlords).
Last point: The day that Google Chrome gets a fully-featured Firebug is the day Firefox basically dies for developers because Firefox had 3 years to make Firefox's layout engine Gecko as fast as WebKit and they didn't. Sorry to put it so bluntly but it's the truth.
You see, now everyone wants to move away from Flash in lieu of jQuery motivated by mobile accessibility and interactivity (iPhone, iPad, Android) and JavaScript is 'suddenly' a big deal (that's sarcasm), so that ship has sailed, Firefox. And that makes me sad, as a Mozilla fanperson. Chrome is simply a better browser until Firefox upgrades their JavaScript engine.

I love shortkeys
Try this, it's called Firebug Lite and apparently works with the beta version of Chrome.
You can also find it at:
https://chrome.google.com/extensions/
You can set this bookmarklet in your "Bookmarks Bar" in order to have Firebug lite always available in Chrome/Chromium browser (put this as the URL):
javascript:var firebug=document.createElement('script');firebug.setAttribute('src','http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/1.2/firebug-lite-compressed.js');document.body.appendChild(firebug);(function(){if(window.firebug.version){firebug.init();}else{setTimeout(arguments.callee);}})();void(firebug);
Or try user scripts: http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/user-scripts
jQuerify is the perfect extension to embed jQuery into Chrome Console and is as simple as you can imagine. This extension also indicates if jQuery has been already embedded into a page.
This extension is used to embed jQuery into any page you want. It allows to use jQuery in the console shell (You can invoke Chrome console by Ctrl + Shift + j".).
To embed jQuery into the selected tab click on extension button.
The official Firebug Chrome extension or you can download and package the extension yourself.

Well, it is possible to enable Greasemonkey scripts for Google Chrome so maybe there is a way to sort of install Firebug using this method? Firebug Lite would also work, but it's just not the same feeling as using the full featured one :(

This doesn't answer your question but, in case you missed it, Chris Pederick's Web Developer is now available for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/bfbameneiokkgbdmiekhjnmfkcnldhhm.
