           Summary: [Qt] No way to highlight elements
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Qt
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

I would like to implement some sort of element highlighting. You can see it in other browsers when they highlight elements when you hover them in web inspector. Qt has stubs for this functionality:

void InspectorClientQt::highlight(Node*)
{
    notImplemented();
}

void InspectorClientQt::hideHighlight()
{
    notImplemented();
}

It would be interesting for me to implement this - but I am not sure where to start. Would it be feasible to add another layer (QWebFrame::HighlightLayer) to QWebFrame and paint the highlight in QWebFramePrivate::renderRelativeCoords?
