Preserve DOM element highlighting in chrome dev tools / firebug
dom, firebug, google-chrome-devtools, selection
Solution
This is not possible for Chrome DevTools, but you can open the `Metrics` pane in the right-hand side of the `Elements` panel to monitor content area/padding/border/margin when the window is resized.
Problem
Is there a way to preserve the highlight showing the boxmodel properties (width, margin, padding, border) of a DOM element? I'm trying to inspect the behaviour of an element when the window is resized so it would be nice to permanently see the measurements. Solutions for both Chrome Developer Tools and Firebug (Firefox) appreciated!
