Description Eugene Ostroukhov 2010-10-05 15:53:34 PDT 
I would like to implement some sort of element highlighting. You can see it in other browsers when they highlight elements when you hover them in web inspector. Qt has stubs for this functionality:

void InspectorClientQt::highlight(Node*)
{
    notImplemented();
}

void InspectorClientQt::hideHighlight()
{
    notImplemented();
}

It would be interesting for me to implement this - but I am not sure where to start. Would it be feasible to add another layer (QWebFrame::HighlightLayer) to QWebFrame and paint the highlight in QWebFramePrivate::renderRelativeCoords?
