109482 - Box Model tab should have option to show all numbers

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 615156

(Other Applications :: DOM Inspector, enhancement)

Description

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

The box model tab should have two views: one with the graphics and one with the
numbers alone, so that you can look at the margin and padding numbers together.

With the recent removal of the screen capture features of DOM Inspector (see bug
210096), we should probably redesignate this bug as severity:normal, and use it
to track converting Box Model's numbers section to a single page w/o menulists.

Attachment: Patch to show all the numbers at once

I eliminated the menulist completely so that all the information is shown at once.
It could certainly be improved, for instance the labels could now all go in the xul file instead of being composed in js.

No, they should probably go in a .dtd file under locale.

Can you give us a screenshot of what this looks like after your patch?

This is based on my own patch (I've only just found this bug) but I'm sure it looks exactly the same. I think displaying the boxmodel on a canvas shouldn't be too hard, and I could just as easily put this on the same page.

That looks good to me, but I would say that you do need to allow for scroll bars (which we don't know) because some fields are too large even now (like border) and you cannot see some of the data.

As for the graphic as described, perhaps looking at how firebug does it would be best.
