<h2 id="dom_inspector">Advanced Preferences - DOM Inspector</h2>
<p>DOM Inspector is an optional <a href="developer_tools.xhtml">Web development
component</a>. This section describes how to use its preferences panel.
If you are not already viewing it, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open the <span class="mac">&brandShortName;</span>
<span class="noMac">Edit</span> menu and choose Preferences.</li>
<li>Under the Advanced category, click DOM Inspector. (If no subcategories are
visible, double-click Advanced to expand the list.)</li>
</ol>
<p>When you select an element, DOM Inspector can automatically highlight it by
flashing it or its border:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Blink Selected Element</strong>: Check this option to enable the
highlighting of an element that you select. By default, a flashing border
will appear around the element.
<ul>
<li><strong>Border Color</strong>: Select the color of the border around
the element.</li>
<li><strong>Border Width</strong>: Enter the width of the border around
the element.</li>
<li><strong>Blink Duration</strong>: Enter the length of time
(in milliseconds) for which you want the flashing to occur.</li>
<li><strong>Blink Speed</strong>: Enter the time interval
(in milliseconds) between the flashes.</li>
<li><strong>Invert Color</strong>: Check this option to paint the
selected element with the inverted border color. This will cause the
whole element—including its border—to flash.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
