browser - Editing HTML source code with Google Chrome


In Internet Explorer I can open a local .html file and edit it by selecting "Source" in the "View" menu," make a quick change, and then "Refresh" (reload) the web page.


How can I do that with Google Chrome?


Can I have the .html file open in Windows Notepad? (I like notepad because it's really fast.)


Answer



Ctrl+Shift+I or F12 -> Elements, It should show your source. Right click on any element and click Edit as HTML


Edit:


There are some extensions that look like what you want: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/search?itemlang=&q=editor


ChromeEditor & Live WebSite Editor look promising.

I see that (after ctrl-shift-I / F12), right clicking the or tag and clicking "edit as html". allows me to edit anywhere within it. Choosing the opening tag means the popup for editing just covers all the html source that's there - which is very neat in terms of space when editing. Choosing the closing tag might be useful as the popup then appears under the html so you see a before/after. Or better, as benjamin says, F2 to edit, ctrl-enter to commit.
