[webkit-help] Accessing the webkit inspector in 3rd-party app webviews?

Hi Dan.

I'm not sure whether they changed the default behavior, but you can use the method -[WebPreferences setDeveloperExtrasEnabled:] to enable the menu item again.

I used to be able to do "inspect element" from the contextual menu, and the webview would split into two panes, with the inspector in the bottom.  No code required by my app.
