DOM Inspector (DOMi) is one of the web developer tools included in Mozilla Application Suite as well as versions of Mozilla Firefox prior to Version 3. (For Firefox Version 3 it can be installed as a separate Firefox extension.) Its main purpose is to inspect the Document Object Model (DOM) tree of HTML and XML-based documents.
A DOM node can be selected from the tree structure, or by clicking on the browser chrome. As well as the "DOM Node" view, other views are also available, including Box Model, XBL Bindings, CSS Style Rules, Computed Style, and JavaScript Object. Document stylesheet and JavaScript Object views can also be displayed for nodes selected from the DOM tree. The active element is highlighted with blinking red border, which is helpful in "debugging" CSS.
Other than inspecting, editing is also possible, though not via a rich text interface.
In Google's Chrome browser, right click on a pane, and click "Inspect Element".
