  document.body.appendChild(tip);
  document.addEventListener('mousemove', function (e) {
    const el = e.target;
    if (!el || el === tip) return;
    const r = el.getBoundingClientRect();
    tip.textContent = el.tagName.toLowerCase() + ' '
      + Math.round(r.width) + ' x ' + Math.round(r.height);
    tip.style.left = (e.clientX + 14) + 'px';
    tip.style.top = (e.clientY + 14) + 'px';
    tip.style.display = 'block';
  });
