css - How to use chrome web inspector to view hover code

Question

Using chromes web inspector to view code is very useful. But how do you view for example the hover code for a button? You will have to hover the mouse over the button and thus cannot use it (mouse) in the inspector. Are there any shortcuts or other ways to accomplish this in the inspector?

Answer 1

Now you can see both the pseudo-class style rules and force them on elements.

To see the rules like :hover in the Styles pane click the small dotted box button in the top right.

To force an element into :hover state, right click it.

Alternatively, you can use Event Listener Breakpoints sidebar pane in the Scripts panel and select to pause in mouseover handlers.
