See :hover state in Chrome Developer Tools
I wanted to see the hover state on my Bootstrap tooltips. Forcing the the :hover
state in Chrome dev Tools did not create the required output, yet triggering the mouseenter
event via console did the trick in Chrome. If jQuery exists on the page you can run:
$('.YOUR-TOOL-TIP-CLASS').trigger('mouseenter');
There are several ways to see HOVER STATE styles in Chrome Developer Tools.
Method 01
Method 02
With Firefox Default Developer Toll
With Firebug
Now you can see both the pseudo-class rules and force them on elements.
To see the rules like :hover
in the Styles pane click the small :hov
text in the top right.
To force an element into :hover
state, right click it and select :hover
.
Additional tips on the elements panel in Chrome Developer Tools Shortcuts.
EDIT: This answer was before the bug fix, see tnothcutt's answer.
This was a bit tricky, but here goes:- Right-click element, but DON'T move your mouse pointer away from the element, keep it in hover state.
- Choose inspect element via keyboard, as in hit up arrow and then Enter key.
- Look in developer tools under Matched CSS Rules, you should be able to see :hover.
PS: I tried this on one of your question tags.
