1 Download a copy of Firefox.
2 Install with the "Custom Install" option to mark sure DOM Inspector is
checked
3 Or better yet, install the Web Developers Bar extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/60/
4 Open a web page and use the DOM Inspector to traverse the document

An indispensable "learning|debugging" tool
