Help us Debug Errors/ Glitches with Developer Tools
Introduction
Some technical issues are the result of unique sets of circumstances created by different Web Browsers, Operating Systems, Internet Connections and a dozen other variables. This can make it difficult to reproduce and resolve problems.
One of the best ways to get the information needed is to use a set of tools in Google Chrome called ‘ Developer Tools’. They can help to pinpoint where a problem might be arising. This guide will show you how to open up Chrome’s Developer tools so you can take a screenshot to send to Education Modified to help the debugging process.
