Bug 150391 – Web Inspector: Typo in a property name: style.inerhited

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Nikita Vasilyev]

Should be "inherited". WebStorm spotted a missing property, otherwise I wouldn't notice.

I searched in Source/WebInspectorUI. That's the only place where "inerhited" is used.

I've been looking at this over 300 lines long refresh method for a while and I still don't quite understand what difference fixing this typo made.

Devin, in insertAllMatchingPseudoStyles(force), what is the point of the force agrument?

The idea behind the force argument was that pseudo-element styles (::before, ::after, etc) should never be seen below user-agent or inherited rules.  They should always be inserted before the first of those rules in the absolute worst case.  On most websites, there will be a matching rule that doesn't have the pseudo-element, so this is not necessary (like having ".example" and ".example::before").  It is possible, however, to have pseudo-rules without a matching non-pseudo-element rule, and it is for this case that the force was added.

Example:
on a blank page, create a rule and give it the selector "body::before" (and give the ::before a content).  This pseudo-element rule should appear before the user-agent "body" rule.

Thanks Devin, that makes sense now.
