Do I have a step in the code get rid of that? I'm not sure where I would be destroying whitespace. Do I manually have to add code to get it to preserve whitespace (via string replacements)?

I worry adding inspector.css to the iframe will cause subtle issues, since we have many generic selectors in that file.

I think duplicating the style rules is fine. Or move all the shareable rules from styleText into a new CSS file and make inspector.html and the iframe include that.

I am also surprised the syntax highligher objects work when passed null.

You should put class=\"webkit-html-text-node\" on these spans too. Missing a space after the "=".

> +                } else if (this.parentNode && this.parentNode.nodeName.toLowerCase().escapeHTML() == "style") {

No need for .escapeHTML(), since it will never have HTML characters.

Try adding "white-space: pre" to the webkit-html-text-node class, and see if that preserves line breaks. It might break things, but worth a try.

This looks good! But I think we want to trim starting newlines and ending whitespace to make it look less odd.

Also remove the quotes?

[Joseph Pecoraro]

Yah, this looks great (I applied it locally and it works great)!

> Add syntax higlighting of CSS and Javascript tags to the elements panel.

A few typos in the ChangeLog that you might want to fix. "highlighting" and "JavaScript".

No quotes or leading/trailing whitespace

You only want to remove newlines from the beginning, so that indented text matches up with other lines.

So:

/^[\n\r]*/
