Chrome DevTools not showing “checked” or “checked=”true" attribute in html tag



In the Chrome DevTools, how can you know if a checkbox or radio button is checked. When you click on any of the above, the attribute checked is not showing at all. It's annoying because I have to guess what's happening and it kind make development process slower. Is there some settings I need to apply?


checked

A checkbox has two attributes that talk about it being checked: One is an HTML/DOM attribute, and one is a property of the scripting object. (dom-input-checked and attr-input-checked in the spec, respectively).



The spec sometimes uses the word reflect to indicate that these two kinds of attributes are kept in sync, but it does not in this case: The DOM attribute is the default checked state, and the IDL attribute is the current checked state. This allows to "Reset" a form, for instance.



Example of the attributes being different:




console.log([a.checked, a.getAttribute("checked")]);
a.checked = false;
console.log([a.checked, a.getAttribute("checked")]);

console.log([b.checked, b.getAttribute("checked")]);
b.checked = true;
console.log([b.checked, b.getAttribute("checked")]);


<input type=checkbox id=a checked>
<input type=checkbox id=b>



Anyway, you can use the "Properties" tab in Chrome's devtools to see the other attribute.

(In Firefox this is under Right click > Show DOM Properties, but you have to select the correct iframe first.)





Thanks for the response. But normally whatever happens in the DOM, the devtools usually shows that something is happening, e.g. show/hide with a class, devtools will show that a class is added or removed. I want something similar for when you clicked a checkbox/radio, there should be checked or checked="true|false" in real-time, right? unless I'm expecting too much from devtools.

checked


checked="true|false"





Yes, the DOM spec says The className attribute must reflect the "class" content attribute. But since checked doesn't, you must go to the properties tab. You can't see something that's not a DOM attribute in the place where DOM attributes are shown.

So there's really no way at the moment to see a real-time update of checked in DevTools. Cool. Thanks for your lesson and help.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right. What's parberakan ? What's pokeArr ? – T.J. Crowder Aug 8 at 12

How to determine optimal route across keyboard

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP How to determine optimal route across keyboard I'm trying to automate the typing process in a video game. Players are given an on-screen QWERTY keyboard layout that they can navigate with the control stick (up, down, left, right) in order to select a letter to type. I was wondering if there was a module for Python (or some other resource I could explore) that would help my program find a path across the keyboard as it types each letter in a given message. In other words, if the first letter typed was "A" and the next letter was "B", the module would know that the program should move 1 space down on the keyboard and 4 spaces to the right. Currently, I have the program resetting to the "G" key after each letter is typed (allowing me to use fixed-directions as the program parses each character in the desired message). As you can imagine, this is quite inefficient and defeats the purpose of automating the typing in the fir
