Handy Tips

Finding Component by a DOM Node

If you inspect a Rax element on the page using the regular Elements tab, then switch over to the Rax tab, that element will be automatically selected in the Rax tree.

Finding DOM Node by a Component

You can right-click any Rax element in the Rax tab, and choose "Find the DOM node". This will bring you to the corresponding DOM node in the Elements tab.
