Sometimes when clicking on a dropdown menu, it immediately disappears as soon as we try to switch to Chrome DevTools.
The website "tracks" clicks outside the menu or loss of focus and automatically hides the popup, preventing us from examining its HTML structure in DevTools.
Step 1
Open Chrome DevTools (F12 or «Ctrl» + «Shift» + «I»).
Step 2
- Go to the «Sources» tab.
- In the right panel, find «Event Listener Breakpoints».
- Expand the «Control» section and check the «blur» event (if needed, also check «click»).
Step 3
Return to the page and click the button that opens the menu.
When the site tries to close the menu, DevTools will "catch" the event and stop the script.
The menu will remain on the screen.
Step 4
Switch to the «Elements» tab to examine its DOM structure.
