Are there any tools out there that can look at my website HTML and tell me that (for example) "there is an HTML element at mysite.com/example.html using a class of SOMECLASS but SOMECLASS is not defined in any included CSS files".
?
I've created a snippet that does exactly that: https://gist.github.com/kdzwinel/426a0f76f113643fa285
You can run it in the DevTools console and the sample output will look like this:
You could try out a Firefox plugin like Dust-me-selectors
You could try inspecting with Firebug
There is a free Windows desktop tool that can scan a local web project folder and output undefined css classes, i.e. classes that are used in html but are not defined in any css. It also takes JavaScript into account to some degree.

All other answers either didn't work for me or didnt understand the question (including the accepted answer). This one I just tested myself and it works surprisingly well, though it won't catch every edge case.

Long time automation developer here (just for context).
It's been bugging me for quite a while that the dev tools in chrome used to find elements just don't seem to work as I expect. Hopefully someone can point out what I'm doing wrong.
Looking at , say, sauce labs page: https://saucelabs.com/blog/selenium-tips-finding-elements-by-their-inner-text-using-contains-a-css-pseudo-class
ok now that page has div's and anchors
and indeed I can do find ('a') or find('div')
but why do I have a problem using classes or id's ?
The find() method refers to window.find(), a non-standard API for the browser's built-in Find function. It does not find web elements the same way Selenium or Capybara do, and so it does not parse the input as a selector.
You find elements with selectors in Chrome DevTools using document.querySelector() or document.querySelectorAll(). There are no special methods in Chrome DevTools for this, however it does provide the $() and $$() aliases (respectively) to save you time and keystrokes.
You can use jquery code in chrome console, for example if you want to find something with class of "foo" you can write $('.foo') or a id of "bar" you write $('#bar')
You can read all about it here
Also you can just google what you want "Jquery how to find a div with id"
Can a website's generated HTML be saved using Canopy? Looking at the documentation under 'Getting Started', I could not find anything related.
You can run arbitrary JavaScript using js, document.documentElement.outerHTML will return the current DOM, so
let html = js "return document.documentElement.outerHTML" |> string
does the trick.
Canopy is a wrapper around Selenium that provides some useful helper functions. But it also provides access to the Selenium IWebElement instances in case you need them, via the element function (halfway down the page; there don't seem to be internal anchors in that page so I couldn't link directly to the function). Then once you have the IWebElement object, your problem becomes similar to this one, where the answer seems to be elem.getAttribute("innerHtml") where elem is the elememt whose content you want (which might even be the html element). Note that the innerHtml attribute is not a standard DOM attribute, so this won't work with all Selenium drivers; it will be dependent on which browser you're running in. But it apparently works on all major Web browsers.
See Get HTML Source of WebElement in Selenium WebDriver using Python for a related question using Python, which has more discussion about whether the innetHtml attribute will work in all browsers. If it doesn't, Canopy also has the js function, which you could leverage to run some Javascript to get the HTML you're looking for -- but if you're having trouble with that, you probably need to ask a Javascript question rather than an F# question.
I have created many snippets in the Chrome devtool's "Elements > Snippets" panel.
I have a snippet with utility functions like loadJquery, loadUnderscore, etc. I would like to call these functions from another snippet. Is this possible?
Came here cause I struggle with the same question.
I think the correct answer would be yes, if you run each one of them individually and in dependency order.
For example, I have a snippet with a pickDeep() functionality that I got from here. And then I created some other snippets which use that function. So what I do is just run the one with the pickDeep() declaration first, and then any other snippet which use it.
It's the exact same thing as you had typed and run everything on the console directly. So it does not matter where the declaration comes from, as long as it has been declared some way in the current session.
Of course is not the desirable way, but I want to point out there is a workaround.
No, snippets have no knowledge of other snippets nor is there a way to query them up. Snippets are isolated scripts that work independently of each other.
It is relatively straight forward to iterate through IHTMLStyleSheetsCollection, IHTMLStyleSheet, IHTMLStyleSheetRulesCollection etc. of IHTMLDocument2 to obtain list of all styles in current document.
Any ideas on how to get a list of only used styles in the document? And to be more precise, I am looking for how to find out which images from the css files are being used in the document.
There is a program that says it is able to do this (determine which css images are being used) if IE8/IE9 is installed.
Thanks
Ok I have found an answer to this:
Recent browser versions (FF 3.5, IE 8) have implemented a querySelector method that can be used to query if a selector is used on a page.
see: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/Document.querySelector for more info.
How to create XPATH for a HTML DOM element?
for example, "/HTML/BODY/DIV[1]/TABLE[1]/TR[2]/TD[1]/INPUT".
Given an DOM element how to get this XPATH string?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dattebayo.
You can create a new domdocument and then import the node element
$DD= new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$DD->loadXML( "<html></html>" );
$DD->documentElement->appendChild($DD->importNode($DE,true));
then you can use xpath insithe the domelement:
$xpathe=new DOMXPath($DD);
As I recall, the xpath checker extension to firefox gives you a point-and-click interface for getting the xpath to DOM elements in a HTML document.
After a lot of struggle I found a way to do so.
Along with the DOM path also use the SourceIndex of each node. Like "/Html:1/Body:2/Div:5/Input:6"
But again,
1. This might not work in case of dynamic page (ajax to modify the content).
2. This might not be unique accross browsers since the sourceIndex might vary accross browsers based on the Browser Rendering Engine arranges the nodes. (not sure of this yet though, just a thought).
In Mozilla an xpath generator component was implemented although it never made it to default builds.
You can find the tests in the "final patch" attached to the bug I linked to to see how it can be used. You can also look up its implementation, might be helpful.
