I'm guessing that this is the source of a lot of the "inline css editing doesn't work" comments on <http://webkit.org/blog/148/web-inspector-update/>. One possible solution is to make double-clicking a property in the Computed Style section copy that property to the Inline Style Attribute section and start editing it there. I think it's important that double-clicking in the Computed Style section let you edit *somewhere*, rather than popping up an error dialog or something. 63651 1 timothy 2007-12-07 22:24:26 -0800 The same happens for user agent rules and mapped attributes. We could allow editing those i think, but it seems weird. 63653 2 timothy 2007-12-07 22:25:00 -0800 *** Bug 16350 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 64607 3 falk 2007-12-18 00:06:20 -0800 For me editing also does not work on the inline element. no matter where you click I can only select values (for copying) but I can not change any of them. maybe there is something more fundamental missing on my part, but it sure as hell is no "click and play" at the moment ;) i double clicked everywhere tried every ctrl-click and there is just nowhere an edit value box as shown on the blog. Also I would love to click in the metrix box to change box models if that is possible. Just let me change whatever value I defined in the first place wherever it appears - in the code/stylesheet, in the stlye, metrics and property boxes - everywhere. would make life as a part time webdeveloper so much easier. 66021 4 aroben 2008-01-02 06:42:10 -0800 (In reply to comment #3) > Also I would love to click in the metrix box to change box models if that is > possible.

Could you file a new bug about this enhancement request? 68648 5 aroben 2008-01-29 11:07:32 -0800 <rdar://problem/5712879> 72258 6 Wout.Mertens 2008-02-28 08:31:38 -0800 the Firebug editor for Mozilla does allow adding ad-hoc css rules for an element. Maybe double-clicking a computed style should create a new style box specific to the element and copy the attribute name and value into it, allowing the user to edit that. 93862 7 timothy 2008-10-03 00:20:34 -0700 *** Bug 21325 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 94874 8 timothy 2008-10-10 04:28:50 -0700 *** Bug 21488 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 156397 9 joepeck 2009-10-20 21:48:27 -0700 Is this something that we want to add or should Computed / User Agent / Mapped Attribute styles be off limits to editing? There are already plenty of other ways to add styles. If we keep them uneditable then there should be some indication to the user (as evident by all the duplicates of this bug). 156450 10 timothy 2009-10-21 03:27:41 -0700 (In reply to comment #9) > Is this something that we want to add or should Computed / User Agent / Mapped > Attribute styles be off limits to editing?

I think double click could copy the property to the Style Attribute section and edit. We should also show non-editable sections differently. Maybe a "not pencel" icon in the section header like Finder uses for folders? 307282 11 apavlov 2010-11-10 03:21:42 -0800 (In reply to comment #10) > (In reply to comment #9) > > Is this something that we want to add or should Computed / User Agent / Mapped > > Attribute styles be off limits to editing?

Maybe a "not pencel" icon in the section header like Finder uses for folders? Currently, we mark non-editable sections with a gray background which makes it quite clear that they are read-only. Does this sound good enough wrt the rw/ro distinction? Are we still bothered with letting the user edit at least something when they double-click inside the read-only section? 431119 12 apavlov 2011-07-01 06:18:53 -0700 The currently implemented graying-out seems to be a good and intuitively clear indicator of read-only sections.
