How can I pop up Webkit's Web Inspector from my WebView object programmatically?
cocoa, web-inspector, webkit, webview
Solution
There is no public API for interacting with the WebInspector via the DOM or Cocoa. You should file an enhancement request at https://bugreport.apple.com/ asking for this API.
InspectorController is also an internal implementation detail of the WebInspector and its likely a bug that its on the documentation website.
Problem
How can I pop up Webkit's Web Inspector from my WebView object programmatically? I succeed to enable Webkit's Web Inspector on my WebView. It's working well, and now I can pop it up by clicking "Inspect Element" on context menu. And I want to do this with my push button. But I couldn't find a proper way to do this. My DOM knowledge is 10 years old, very newbie on HTML DOM of nowadays. Is there any way to do this? I found a class document: InspectorController. I think this is a kind of key. But I cannot know what object exposes and how can I use this. Environment: - Mac OS X 10.6 - Xcode 3.2.1 (iPhone SDK, no plug-in)
