HTML DOM Navigation

HTML DOM Navigation lets you view the node tree in a simple and easy way. IRB would be really useful for Watir automation.
What is HTML DOM Navigation?
"HTML DOM Navigation" is a user-friendly Chrome extension that aids quick DOM capturing. It enables users to swiftly navigate the HTML node tree, see IRB formats and ancestors of webpage elements. Also, it allows you to view tree formats of entire body tags through context menus. The extension ensures data privacy as it doesn't store any user data.

Extension summary

I have developed this extension mainly for fetching the DOM quickly since it might take some time in the Watir automation.

-Click on the ‘HTML DOM Navigation’ icon at the right top of the page once the webpage loads completely -Hover the mouse over any element in the page to view the IRB format and the top five ancestors of an element -Right click on the page and select the ‘HTML DOM Navigation -> Tree Format’ option in the Context-Menu to view the tree format (of an entire body tag) -To disable, click on the icon again

**You can copy the content using ‘ctrl+c’ **You can scroll the content using up-arrow and down-arrow Note: If the copy/scroll doesn’t work, click anywhere on the page to focus on it and try again

if you're applying this extension on a "fake" web of your own, which is from your computer file source, you have to right click on the extension symbol, then go to manage extensions, then turn on the Allow access to file URLs. then it works.
