DOM Display

[Kogo]

Every time I code in Javascript, I get screwed up in trying to find the DOM
path to the element I want to change. Is there some tool that will display the
DOM tree down to an individual element for me?

TIA

Why don't you just find the element using
document.getElementById('element_id'); ?

I think this construct has limited cross-browser support. Am I wrong?

It's a part of the W3C's DOM standard from version 1 and above. Some old and
crusty versions of Netscrape don't support it, but that's their problem
really...

If you really do want to see the DOM, WebTool from Iconico is a very useful
tool though (handy in other ways too!).
