Bug 14514 – Add full URL view on mouseOver in the network page

• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Oncleben31]

To be very  handy, we have to be able to read the full URL in the network page.
In the current version we are able to read the last part of the URL

A solution could be to add a roll-over effect when mouseOver event on the short URL.

It would probably good to have a 1px border around the em.

If you just set a title attribute on the .network-file element, a tooltip will appear automatically. Then you don't need your "CSS and HTML hack"

This is what we do for resources in the left sidebar, so it'll have the added benefit of being consistent with other parts of the UI.

Why not just use a title attribute on the link to get a tooltip for free? This will match what we already do for the sidebar.

Using tooltip was my first idea but they doesn't appeared in my Safari  (on my mac and on Windows), I've search in the preference : nothing. I search on Internet and I found "defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitShowsURLsInToolTips 1"
This trick doesn't seem to work on Safari for Windows, I've to test on a mac.

If user have to hack Webkit to have tooltip working, I think my solution is better. Moreover my solution allow to debate and find the best CSS design for the tool tip (color, position).

What is you point of view ?

Tooltips should work fine in Safari on OS X. Tooltips are not yet supported in Safari on Windows (see bug 14143). This will eventually be fixed, so I still believe the title attribute is the right way to go.

I agree with Adam that this should use the title="" attribute. Please try a fix along those lines.
