1307073 - Display the offset-parent in the box-model panel

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1291417

(DevTools :: Inspector, defect)

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

When debugging the layout of absolutely or relatively positioned elements, I often find myself hunting the offset parent by climbing up the parent nodes and waiting to find the first positioned element.

It could be nice to add this information in the box-model panel of the "computed" tab. The offset parent could be identified by a CSS selector, and accompanied with a button to select it in the markup view.

I think this is a dupe of bug 1291417 (part of meta bug 1150496).

It'd be nice to do the same thing for block formatting contexts and floated elements, and for stacking contexts and z-index elements.

Yes, it is. Did not find it searching through bugzilla and for once I thought I'd open without asking before.
