I'm using Google Chrome Developer Kit, I have a button with some CSS style applied, I need to see the properties associated on this status Hover in Googel Chrome Devoper windows.
How to do it? When I move out from the button change status and I cannot see the CSS applied.
Thanks for your time!
When you inspect element, there are a couple of icons top right ...
Click the one as in the image (pointer) and select the states for your element with the checkboxes.

I am modifying an existing template to adapt some basic parameters such as colors etc.
I use Google Chrome development extension so I can right click on a particular element use Inspect option to see what CSS rules are being applied to that element.
Then I can override specific rules in my custom CSS file.
So far so good.
My question comes for certain rules, for example if I click on an input element, the border of that element changes color but I can not right click and inspect as the focus is lost and hence I can not see in Google Developer tools what rules are being applied to that element when the focus is in that element.
Which is the strategy to debug such cases?
You can right click on the element in the Chrome Inspector and there is a 'Force state...' context menu item.
Here is a video clip demonstrating how to do it. https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/05/triggering-of-pseudo-classes
I have encountered an annoying problem while trying to debug some CSS in Chrome. I am rather new to CSS, and using Chrome's "Computed" window in the CSS developer tools has been very handy in figuring out where CSS properties I'm trying to assign are being overwritten later down the chain. (Please feel free to correct any incorrect terminology so I can be on the same page).
Here's an example of how it helped me successfully change the color for an active jQuery UI Tab:

I need to use this approach to figure out what's going wrong with my CSS for a hovered or focused element. Here's the problem: as soon as I click into Chrome's developer tools to see the chain of inheritance for a specified element, it is no longer hovered/focused because I've clicked into the developer tools, preventing me from seeing the inheritance.
Are there any other tools out there that can help me dissect an HTML element's CSS inheritance chain in real-time?
Thanks!
Using Chrome developer tools, you can force the element to be in the hovered state.
Click on the Toggle Element State icon (dash-bordered box with pointer) to show this.
Is there any way to view the styles applied during hovering of an element in Internet Explorer? Chrome and Firefox provide this in styles tab as we can see in console bar.
I want to know whether the same thing can be viewed in Internet Explorer. If so how?
Once you've pressed F12 and selected the element in question, you will be shown the CSS styles on the right - this does not however update when you hover over the element like in FireBug - nor can you set it's state as ':hover'. What you can do, is once the element is selected, ensure the focus is on the developer bar and hover over the element on the page - while hovered over it, press F5 - if you now reselect that element, the styles on the right hand side will show you the :hover styles ("Trace Styles" will also update)
In IE, you just press F12 and it will bring up the Developer Console. There you will find a CSS Tab.
Or after bringing up the Developer Console ( F12 ) you can use the pointer tool to highlight an element on your page and you will view the element Styles on the right pane of the Developer Console

You can navigate to,
Tools >> DeveloperTools
Shotcut- F12
go to InternetExplorer menu : ->Tools->Developer Tools Shortcut : f12
I have a site where the background-image jumps up on hover state and I can't for the life of me find the specific css that does this.
I'm able to get to the "offending" link and give it a border and change the padding and margin. The problem is that firebug and chrome inspect does not show me what happens on the hover state.
So I want a way to see what additions to the normal css state happens on :hover.
Any pointers?
(P.S. IE 8 doesn't have this issue - ie no jumping of background image)
Try using the Inspect function in FireBug to focus in on the element in question. It will show you all related CSS, including any CSS that is related to :hover. You can also see in this way what changes happen to the elements CSS (and any other DOM attribute) when you hover your mouse.
In case the changes are coming from some JavaScript, try out the Visual Event bookmarklet. Activating it on the page will let you see all events that are tied to the element in question.
We supply micro-site content to a client. They supply us with a HTML wrapper and we inject our content into it. I'm trying to debug an issue where our style sheet appears to be interfering with the style in their wrapper.
Normally I'd use firebug or IE Developer Toolbar to select the element and I can see which styles are being applied, which are being overridden and where they are coming from. But this particular problem only exists when I hover the mouse over a link. Specifically, the link shrinks a little bit.
Is there anything that I can use to see what the browser is doing with the styles when I hover the mouse over the link?
Right click on the element. Select 'inspect element'. In the firebug html window click on the tag you're interested in. Hover over the element in page. You should see the style change to e.g a:hover
