Yet another Firefox Plugin (for the Webmasters)

Rendix · 03-16-2009, 01:51 PM

For those of you who haven't heard of Firebug (search for it in firefox plugins), it is a plugin for firefox that allows you to basically go to any page on the web, highlight and "inspect element".

Firebug will then pop open and show you html/php(whatever) references and css references to that part of the page. Then, you can make live tweaks to that page (wont save obviously). This is awesome for those of you who (perhaps like me) see webpages that have a neat element on it that you would like to replicate. You can simply inspect that element on their page and tweak it until you know what part of the code is making that div (or whatever) behave a certain way.

It can also be used a debug tool on your own website, since you can make live "test tweaks" until you get something aligned right, and then you can make changes to your stylesheets accordingly.

Sorry about the wall of text there, but I just found this plugin and practically drooled on myself. Felt obligated to share (not the drool, the plugin).

If you do much graphic web design another good FF addon is ColorZilla.

Thanks for the addon suggestions. Another great tool is FireShot. It allows you to take a snap shot of a web page and make annotations on it. It's a great tool for design collaboration.
