The current workflow for our designer is:
Opens web page and edit the CSS
Write up all the CSS changes in an issue
Is there a way for chrome to save the 'diff' of the CSS and export it without using workspaces?
As of Chrome 65, Local Overrides can help with this. Check your Chrome version at chrome://version. If you don't have 65 yet, you can use Chrome Canary.
Open Sources.
Click Local Overrides tab.
Click Select folder for overrides and choose a destination.
Make your changes in the Styles pane on Elements panel or Editor pane in Sources panel. Chrome saves the changed files to the specified location.
GOTCHAS!!!
Changes made in the DOM Tree on the Elements panel don't get saved.
Neither do changes made in the Styles pane when the source of the CSS rules is a <style> tag in HTML. At least in Chrome 65. There's rumors that this may get fixed in 66.
Not sure if that's what you want, but...
You can edit the page from inspector (ctrl+shift+I) and after done with all your changes, just click on the stylesheet link at your left and copy everything you need
I would like to extract the complete html source of website as we get it on chrome inspect element.
I am trying to the scrap the comments of disqus from http://bossip.com/1190557/cops-kill-people-mississippi-cop-under-investigation-for-strangling-unarmed-black-man-jonathan-sanders-to-death-43081/
Initially I tried with java and Jsoup but I am unable to extract the complete html source.
Then as suggested in How to get html that I see in inspect element? I tried using HTML Unit but unfortunately HTML unit also did not extract as i expected.
Is there any solution around for this problem?
In Chrome,
in normal browser document: right-click on element, select "Inspect Element" from pop-up menu. You will go to the "developer tools" window.
in developer tools window: right-click on the HTML element and select "Edit as HTML" from pop-up menu.
select all HTML text in the editor (press CTRL-A) and copy to clipboard (press CTRL-C)
I have done many Moves to get Get Direct CSS form website in google chrome but i failed. So tell me how to get it.
use view page source and in the opening window find the linking to the css right click it and open it in a new window you can copy it from there
for example in stackoverflow
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="//cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/all.css?v=c9958f49ae3f">
I'm using a mac so it may be different for you. Try right-clicking on the page. Then select 'view page source' from the list. The chrome will open a new tab with the source code inside. From there you can even open the external css and js files. At this point just copy and paste the code. To view a certain elements source code just choose 'inspect element' and click on the element of which you wish to see the css. Then (even though the styles are beside checkboxes it still lets you highlight them) copy and paste those.
I have seem a lot of videos in which developers are changing CSS on the fly in chrome. I tried the same thing but chrome did not allow me to change the code. I can't write on the style sheet.
Is there any specific setting to do this? Kindly help.
EDIT: To edit the CSS, I right click on an element, select inspect element. It will open the console. I select the id of the element and go to style.css in Resources and try to change the CSS. It does not allow me to write there.
You are doing it wrong... the resources panel is not there for live edit, if you want to change the css associated with an HTML element, right click on that element and then in the right panel you will see the css styles associated with the selected element. You can edit that rules and you will see the changes in real time.
Maybe you can check some videos to learn some basics about the Chrome Developer Tools, and after that if you want to learn more, you can check this question:

Here is a great tool for Google Chrome called Stylebot.
In this you can change the style sheet and save your own styles to any website for your own custom website theme!
Here is the link for Stylebot
Check it out and to put the icing on the cake, it's free!
This should not be used to work on your own website projects since the CSS file saves local on your browser!
In Chrome, clicking on something like "all.css:1" in the Styles pane of the Elements tab of DevTools takes one to the Sources tab of DevTools. If you're looking at code on remote server, the CSS rules in this source view are not live-editable (unlike the live-editing Style Editor tab of Firefox*) unless you're:
viewing the "inspector-stylesheet" -- a temporary stylesheet containing new style rules you created with the "+" button in the Styles pane of the Elements tab. Clicking on a new rule's "inpector-stylesheet:1" link will take you to the editable source of the temporary rules you've created.
viewing a persistent local workspace. Setting this up takes a few extra steps, described here: "Set Up Persistence with DevTools Workspaces" .
Basically, you make a local folder on your machine where you can save local copies that you direct Chrome to use in in lieu of the version on the internet. See the instructions at that link. Note that, as it says there, "If you are mapping files from a remote server instead of a local server, when you refresh the page, Chrome reloads the page from the remote server. Your changes still persist to disk and are reapplied if you continue editing in Workspaces." (So just type a space character into the source local CSS file to see your alterations applied again, if you've refreshed or navigated to a different page that uses the same stylesheet.)
* In Firefox, if you right-click on an element on a remote webpage, select Inspect Element, then in the Rules pane of the Inspector tab, click on a link on the right like "all.css:1", you are taken to a "Style Editor" tab where you can immediately live-edit, in contrast to Chrome's requirement of making you map to a local file. This may cause some people some confusion, if they expect the same behavior from Chrome's DevTools.
Another Chrome extension that is similar to Stylebot is Code Cola. It has an inspector that allows selecting elements, and a visual editor which does not require typing the CSS by hand. To see the generated CSS code click the curly brackets icon in the toolbar.
I just signed up for captcha. It gave me php code to display the captcha box on the page and code to put on the server. It works fine but the input box is misaligned (it might be based on the rest of the styling of the page.) I want to modify it manually but I can't.
When I do an inspect code in google chrome, it shows me the styling for the input box I needed. I unchecked a particular style
position: absolute!important
and it now looks fine. Now I need to actually modify the code. But it says the location is registration.php:1. Where is this? Registration.php is the file which creates the html code for the page and it does a "require" for a captcha php file. But I don't see the css style in that file either!
See these 2 images to see where the CSS could be coming from:
1- In Chrome console under the elements tab
2- In Chrome console under the resources tab
