Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.84 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Visit https://shapeshift.io/#/status/a37a34ac-fb8b-4e8d-9fbe-ffe9a493192e 2. Put your cursor over the _textbox_ with "Pending Conf..." shown. I.e., <input type="email" class="form-control input-lg align-center input-box ng-pristine ng-valid-email ng-invalid ng-invalid-required ng-touched" ng-model="form.email" placeholder="Pending Confirmations" required=""> 3, Observe the mouseover causes a message "Please fill out the field." to pop up. (Now say we are very interested in where this message is coming from, so we do CTRL+S save webpage complete, but still can't find it anywhere... Maybe it is obfuscated HTML one might think.) 4. So now we turn to "Inspect Element" found in the right click context menu. Sure we can place the cursor on the textbox, inspect, and then copy the HTML I pasted above, but still we are no closer to finding where the mystery mouseover is coded in the HTML. BUT if we try to put our cursor over a mouseover, such a "mouse over a mouseover" causes the mouseover to disappear. So there is alas no way to do Inspect Element upon a mouseover! We see many people have many workarounds: https://www.google.com.tw/search?q=Inspect+element+mouseover Anyway after watch all that we eventually find validationMessage: "Please fill out this field." .validationMessage What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? Can't inspect any mouseovers. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 63.0.3239.84 Channel: n/a OS Version: Flash Version:

As per comment#0 this seems to be feature request. Hence marking as Untriaged for further inputs on this. Thanks!

The problem here is that "Please fill out this field" is not a part of the web page itself, but rather a browser-issued message on top of the page. This means it has no DOM elements to inspect, and is generally unaccessible from the page. Unfortunately, we cannot expect that. On the other hand, it's totally possible to expect elements only visible on mouse hover via right-click context menu. Thank you for filing this issue, but I don't think we can do anything here. I will close it for now. Please comment if misunderstood something, and we'll reopen. |
