Is it possible to launch a browser's native web inspector or developer tools via an anchor/button on a web page?
No. Its not possible. Maybe if you have an extension for that particular browser, it might be possible. Check the chrome developer documentation for more details.

Right now I have a Chrome Web Store extension written in JavaScript with JQuery and AngularJS code. I want to publish it also in GSuite Marketplace. Does it support such kind of applications?
As far as I see it has only Cards with simple HTML forms and Apps Script instead of the JavaScript.
As per documentation there are 2 kinds of add-ons:
Workspace add-on
Editor add-on
Editor add-on actually use HTML and CSS on a sidebar or dialogs as opposed to the card system. That may be what you are looking for.
I am attempting to build extension that communicates with the DevTools page. My extension needs to get information about the web page that is being inspected on the DevTools page.
Is that possible?
I'm a beginner with regards to interacting with DevTools. I just don't want to spend time trying to write something if it is completely impossible. Thus, I am looking to know if it is possible.
Yes, it is possible to write a DevTools extension that interacts with the web page that is being inspected by DevTools. In fact, there is the devtools.inspectedWindow API which is intended for this purpose. That API, along with devtools.network and [devtools.panels][3], are used to make extensions for DevTools. You can read more about DevTools extensions at Chrome's Extending DevTools page.
I have created my first Chrome extension/app and found out that lightboxes do not function inside the app. I created the app from the Google example kiosk app. I'm only using webview in the app and have no other customizations. It just points to a link.
I want to use the app as an auto-launch Kiosk app on a Chromebox. Via this website I found that 'alert' and 'confirm' are a disabled web feature on chrome web apps.
I am wondering if it is possible to enable alert and confirm in the Chrome app so that lightboxes will work when interacting with a website.
Thanks in advance.
Yes you can definitely call alert box inside a chrome extension, just like you would in a normal javasript file as stated in this thread.
chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(
alert("Im an alert box triggered by Chrome Extension")
);
The link you provided suggests that you can create a custom popup/lightbox as a workaround. There's a complete tutorial here.
Happy coding! :)
I'm Using eclipse(Version: Kepler Service Release1) and I want to set firefox(26.0 or latest) as the internal web browser. Is it possible change/update the internal web browser in eclipse(linux) ?
IMHO NO. Currently internal web browser is a plug-in in eclipse NOT fully featured web browser. But you can associate HTML/HTM files to be opened directly in Firefox. Refer below picture
Does anyone know if this is possible in J2ME;
I want to have an app that simply launches a browser when opened and directs the browser to a specific web page.
If so, is it widely supported.
You can use javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet.platformRequest() to launch the browser on almost all phones that support JavaME. This article tells more about invoking platform services such as browser.
