Bug 30337 – Web Inspector: Should be able to delete nodes from the Elements Tree

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

[Brian Weinstein]

If you are trying to create a reduced test case, or figure out which element is causing layout bugs, it would be nice to be able to delete nodes from the Web Inspector Elements Tree by pressing delete when a node is selected.

No need for "!= 0" here.

Move this line closer to the removeNodeCallback function.

Put the brace on the next line.

Returns above prevent you from calling didRemoveNode callback. This results in memory leaks on the frontend side. All callbacks should be actually called so that all functions are released in the frontend. You can add success/result code parameter there if you need code to behave differently depending on the operation outcome.

Thanks for fixing it. My git branch for that got lost...

{ should be on the next line.

Use removedNodeId === -1 instead.
