This is a bit random and I see it with only files in one particular project. To reproduce: - download https://github.com/ladariha/sampleapp and open & run e.g. index.html in Chrome - press Cancel button on the yellow toolbar in Chrome so inspection is stopped - in IDE, press run button in CSS Styles window => sometimes, Navigator keeps showing gray icon and communication between Navigator and Browser is not working (e.g. highlighting...) but inspection with CSS Styles window works fine (except in participation of Navigator). This happens only if the file is run from CSS Styles window. If I run file using editor's context menu, context menu in Projects or keyboard shortcut, it is OK. Also If I see this issue, refresh on save brings the valid content of Navigator. Random, easy workaround, so far noticed in one project only => P3 Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.3 (Build 201302132200) Java: 1.7.0_15; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.7-b01 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_15-b02 System: Linux version 3.2.0-35-generic-pae running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
Works fine with Embedded browser, so important is to use Chrome (with inspection) and run file from CSS Styles window
It seems like some race condition in HTML Navigator.
Live elements are now available in DOM View
I tried it several times, Browser DOM was always opened => verified Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201305052300) Updates: Updates available Java: 1.7.0_21; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 23.21-b01 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_21-b11 System: Linux version 3.2.0-41-generic-pae running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
