I just ran across a slick toy for looking at the structure of a page:

Yes, I know there are other ways to check structure, but run your mouse over this one for ease of viewing and display.
Fun and helpful for a fast peek under the hood of pages. I've added the bookmarklet to my toolbar for snooping.... errr studying? ..... layouts that interest me. Also helpful for quick troubleshooting of inheritance issues in your own pages, which I believe is it's intended use.

Oooh, nice! Dragged it onto the ol' Opera toolbar.
The DOM Inspector in FF gives a nice visual layout as well as details too. Too bad you can't print it, would be a lot more helpful IMHO. "-)
Posted by: Beckster at October 21, 2004 03:39 PMBut my Dom Inspector BROKE when I moved out of FF 0.8.x to 0.9.x.
Saw that it seems to be a common issue [bug?] over in forums so just ignored it when a quick fix suggestion didn't help. From what I read it was the same in the 1.1 [correct number??] preview. :^(
Will wait for the full blown version 1 and try again. But now I have this one to play with.

Posted by: Farron at October 21, 2004 04:01 PMAh, well I finally upgraded my FF from 0.8 to 1.01.1 or whatever it is.. as of last night. hehehe.
The install went fine, right over the top of what I had. But I didn't have any extensions installed -- if you do you are supposed to deactivate them first. FYI and all that. "-)
Posted by: Beckster at October 21, 2004 04:15 PMMake that "0.10.1" aka Release 1 Preview.
Oooh, now I'm just spamming you! Do me a favor and edit my comment above eh? Then delete this. "-)
Posted by: Beckster at October 21, 2004 04:16 PMOh, yeah, this is a download to be had.
I have one page in particular I've been looking at and there are some serious structural elements involved.
This will beat the heck out of printing it all out and highlight the respective elements I want.
Thanks!
