When inspecting an element in Chrome Devtools, what does the blue arrow signify? - google-chrome-devtools

Anyone who is an "expert" at Chrome Devtools should be able to explain what does the blue arrow signify?
Here is a similar question that has been unanswered about what the hash means.

Pretty often the next html element is too wide, so it pushes left the element in the left side. You may want to try to change the container div size or decrease the width of the element on the left.

Can someone explain what the space colored in orange means?
Firstly, I considered it was margin spacing but than I saw that the margin actually equals zero.
Screenshot (Sorry, I can't yet post any pictures on Stackoverflow)
Thanks in advance.
I think it is still margin. Almost everywhere it is displayed correctly and Chrome itself says it is a margin. So I would say it is a margin with a rare bug in there.
The item you have highlighted - <p> - has no margin or padding which is why it is showing as zero in the diagram at the bottom. The orange area is actually the area of the container div 'hist'. If you highlight the containing element using the same tool you will probably find that it has some padding-right which is causing the empty space (or rather, filling it with padding so the text can't enter it), or your <p> has a maximum width set which is causing it to have the empty space, or wrap before it reaches the edge.

How to check which place in panel was clicked? GWT

How can I check which place in Panel Was clicked? I know, I have this some functions:
getClientX, getClientY, getNativeButton, getRelativeX, getRelativeY, getScreenX, getScreenY, getX, getY
but how can I check which click Was near right side of panel and which was near left side of the panel?
I can't add to the Panel two div's with 50% width and detect in that way..
More info:
It's a lot of panels. I must do this in each of panel. I don't know how many panels we have. We have got a constans width of each panel = 400px.
Regards!
Assuming you're handling an onClick event or similar for a panel, you can get the cursor position with getClientX or something similar. Then just get the position and size of the panel and simply check what you're closet to; all elements are rectangular, so shouldn't be too difficult to just write four ifs for it.
The getElement() method will give you the panel's underlying element, so you may need to use that to get the exact size and position.

ie8 bookmark # click moves page

I have a few basic controls that are anchors with no urls, such as
<a id="UP" href="#">UP</a>
there's jQuery stuff attaching it to the click event (it's a jcarousel control with overflow hidden)
I understand that onclick needs a return false on it to stop scrolling to "#" on the page to that anchor. The issue is that on fresh load, no scrolling and the UP click all in view, the page still moves. Worse, it appears # has 3 or 4 different places! As I click UP repeatedly, the page moves up and down a few pixels as i click and click. This is always different than the absolute top where the page originally rendered.
Is it the overflow of the list that is no longer visibile due to the clipping causing this? Would adjusting heights of the elements so that the list items clip out evenly provide a stop to this? or is there some other ie8 flaw i'm not aware of?
Thanks!
After a bit of trail and error, I figured out that I needed to 'return false' the click handler so that it stopped the chain of events from continuing (ie, following the hash).
Further, I adjusted heights on the wrappers and clippers so that they were even, as that was the kicker on the 3 or 4 differnt height moves

Bug in a FB status window - iframe version

Prnt screen of the problem
Hi there, I need some advice. As you can see in the image, I have iframe on my website (width 220px) and space within the box is not fully used. I can see margin on the right side (red arrows), where the scroll bar is.
I need to stretch out the content into the full width of the box. (Delete the space between the arrows)
Can I do something about that? Is that a FB bug?
THX for advices.
It looks like the word „labyrinth” would not really fit on the line where your arrows are – if so, then there’s no „bug” at all, it’s just automatic line breaking as is totally common in HTML displaying.

gwt panel flow panel

i like to design entire html with GWT.
but when i press ctrl and + then entire html must be zoomed from center not from upper left
corner.
then what type of panel should i use?
flow panel , stack panel i dont know.
Any, but your root panel should have a fixed (or minimum) width and be centered.
Flowpanels are based on divs, so that's what you probably want.
