Web Inspector: DOM content of externally loaded SVG files should be available in the Web Inspector through an iframe-like view. You can load SVG markup directly in the HTML, or reference an external .svg file from an <img> tag. WebKit has the ability to see both, but the Web Inspector only displays the content of the inline markup.

Do you mean DOM or source?

DOM I guess. For example, The source HTML document referencing an iframe only has the HREF to the frame source, but the Web Inspector displays the DOM of the iframe. I think it should do the same for SVG images, since they also have a DOM that is loaded and displayed by WebKit within the current page's view.

In another thread, Joseph Scheuhammer noticed: > ...the HTML spec for the <img> elements states that it has an empty content model [1], making <img> a leaf node. > > [1]https://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/semantics.html#the-img-element I believe the HTML spec should be updated to call some images a "nested browsing context" like an iframe, which may allow for an IDL change related to this dev tools enhancement.

Even if the HTML spec does not change, we could still do this for <img> in the Elements tab.
