Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 9,313 PointsHow do you inspect buttons that aren't visible?
In the CSS, I specified that the buttons of the carousel should be white, so they're visible against a black background. However, when I preview the page, I can't see the shapes, and I don't know why they aren't appearing as the color white. Previously, the buttons were visible in a dimgray.
.slick-dots li button::before {
font-size: 20px;
color: white;
}
What's the best way to troubleshoot elements when they can't be easily selected or inspected in the developer tools?

- Just open the dev tools and sift through the elements tab to find the item.
- Use "inspect" on a visible parent or sibling element and then navigate to the target item on the elements tab.
