It is very difficult to program when you are trying to inspect an element, say:
Then you refresh the page, and chrome throws you back to:
Forcing you to open the path all over again.
Not very nice or productive use of my energy.
Now, I have mentioned this in the past and even filed a bug report and I remember it being taken care of at one point, but it seems to be back now. I can not find the old info to link to.
All chrome has to do is reselect the previous selected element after a delay ( which I assume must be defined statically in order to guarantee that at that time the element do exist again).
Ideally, chrome dev tools would allow us to programmatically allow us to select any NODE to do this selection programmatically, but i don't think we will get there.
This is very frustrating to deal with.
Any tips? Is this possible in other browsers? Firefox, firebug, safari?
