How to Inspect Element in Safari on OSX

This morning I was doing some testing on Fluttr and wanted to verify everything was working on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Sure enough Chrome and Firefox were fine but Safari was just slightly off. Then I realized, I don’t know how to inspect elements on Safari.

Turns out it’s really simple. Just fire up a terminal, run this command, and then restart Safari.

defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true

Then you can Control-Click on an element and there will be an Inspect Element option available. Click that and you’ll get the same dialog you would get using Chrome. Yay!
