    Select the Chrome menu at the top-right of your browser window, then select Tools > Developer Tools. Right-click any page element and select Inspect Element.

    The DevTools window will open at the bottom of your Chrome browser.

    The Elemets panel lets you see everything in one DOM tree, and allows inspection of DOM elements. You will often visit the Elements tabs when you need to identify the HTML snippet for some aspect of the page.


     

    DOM:

    The DOM tree view displays the DOM structure of the current web page. The DOM tree is a tree of DOM nodes that represent individual HTML elements, such as <body> and <p>. For ease of reading, the DOM tree view displays the HTML element tags instead of the DOM node types: for example, <p> instead ofHTMLParagraphElement.
