The Pain: When Login Buttons Donโt Work
You open a login page. The UI looks fine: an email field, a โContinueโ button, and several โLogin with Google/Apple/GitHubโ options.
But the test fails. The โContinueโ button doesnโt trigger, or one of the login options is disabled by a script. Selenium screenshots look normal, but QA canโt see whatโs really happening under the hood.
Why Traditional Tools Miss This
Element to LLM: One Click to the Truth
With the Element to LLM browser extension, you capture the runtime DOM state of any element as JSON.
For example, hereโs what the extension reveals about the โContinueโ button:
Now you instantly see:
JSON snapshot shows that the โContinueโ button is visible but disabled, and the hidden password field exists even though the UI doesnโt show it.
Why It Matters
Conclusion
Login forms often fail in ways that are invisible to the naked eye. JSON snapshots make hidden states visible โ saving QA hours of frustration.

Why Traditional Tools Miss This
- Selenium or Playwright selectors only confirm visibility
- Screenshots donโt expose hidden attributes
- QA spends hours in DevTools trying to guess why the button isnโt working
Element to LLM: One Click to the Truth
With the Element to LLM browser extension, you capture the runtime DOM state of any element as JSON.
For example, hereโs what the extension reveals about the โContinueโ button:
Code:
{
"element": "button",
"type": "submit",
"textContent": "Continue",
"disabled": true,
"visibility": "visible",
"validity": {
"valid": false,
"valueMissing": true
}
}Now you instantly see:
JSON snapshot shows that the โContinueโ button is visible but disabled, and the hidden password field exists even though the UI doesnโt show it.
Why It Matters
- QA engineers can debug forms in seconds, not hours
- No more blind spots: hidden or invisible elements are exposed
- JSON format = machine-readable, can be stored or fed into automation pipelines
Conclusion
Login forms often fail in ways that are invisible to the naked eye. JSON snapshots make hidden states visible โ saving QA hours of frustration.
