Quick Tip: Using DevTools to Find Page Elements

The Elements panel in DevTools provides an easy way to find page elements of a particular type – just perform a search for the element or attribute name (e.g., “<h2>” or “aria-label”). You can also find elements based on their CSS selectors (e.g., “[aria-label]”).

Use the Console panel to quickly list elements. As examples, typing document.querySelectorAll("button");into the Console and hitting Enter will return a list of all buttons on the page. document.querySelectorAll("[aria-label]"); will list all elements with an aria-label attribute. Click on an element in the list to view it in the Elements panel.
