Debug z-index stacking content with 3D View in the Microsoft Edge DevTools

2020-01-24 KENNETH 0

Debug z-index stacking content with 3D View in the Microsoft Edge DevTools We are thrilled to announce the next iteration of 3D View in the Microsoft Edge DevTools, with a new feature to help debug z-index stacking context. The general 3D View shows a representation of the DOM (Document Object Model) depth using color and stacking, and the z-Index view helps you isolate the different stacking contexts of your page. 3D view is enabled by default in the Canary branch – to enable it in other branches, open the DevTools “Experiments” settings (Ctrl-Shift-P -> “Experiments“) and turn on “Enable 3D View.” If you don’t see that item, navigate to edge://flags and make sure you have enabled “Developer Tools experiments.” Once 3D view is enabled, you can find it under the “More tools” menu (or via search: Ctrl-Shift-P -> “3D View“).
