Google-chrome – Save “Inspect Element”

You can only associate a filename with an HTML file from a browser / editor if they're stitching it together on the client, such as with an <iframe> element or (unobfuscated) Javascript.

Commonly pages will be constructed on the server side, such as with PHP, ASP or (a long time ago) SSI. If this is what is going on, you'll never see the original files which build the page. In addition the URL can be rewritten, as with mod_rewrite, making it impossible to discern the original filename.

If the site is under your control, check .htaccess for the rewriting rules to try to figure out how the URL is being rewritten. That should point you to the main file being used for the page, which you can then read to determine what other files are being pulled in.

If not, you're probably out of luck unless the URL is particularly informative.

You should be able to find them by looking through the embed tags and perhaps the newer canvas tags.

1. Start the Developer tools from the Wrench -> Tools menu.

2. Search for embed and canvas, enumerate through the found tags.

3. Repeat the search for both the Elements and Scripts tab.

In my case I have Cooliris installed, and apparently thanks to you I have just discovered that it always loads:

_{PS: I'm using Firefox 6.0a1 as a main browser, but Google Chrome and IE9 as a back-up for when Firefox 6.0a1 breaks.}

However, if enabling the plug-in is allowed, you could simply open Task Manager from the Tools menu and check the latest plug-in(s) that was/were launched. Which indicates what plug-in(s) the site ran.
