Re: [WSG] realtime CSS editor feedback pleased

 I would appreciate any feedback/comments about the functionality (I don't
 need feedback about the html as i know it is crap and needs to be fixed)
 It dosn't  always work (sometimes access denied errors occur)


I'm a little slow, so it took me a while to figure out how to work it,
so for me it wasn't quite intuitive enough.  This may not be the kind
of feedback you were looking for, but a simple click to acess this
style  or whatever would be helpful.I started instead with the
top drop down.  which of course doesn't make sense to start with
since it shows all the things you can add, not the existing
styles/id's.  Usability wise, I'd reverse the 2 lines of menus.   But
that's just me.

I also have to admit that I think in #000   #fff, not color names, so
I had to look at what it was writing.  An option to type in a #xx
would be something I'd use instead, but again, others might think this
totally dumb.

I liked the tool and will continue to play with it when in IE.   I've
been using the toolbar itself since before it left beta (and some
features went away) when ever I have to look at things in IE, not my
browser of choice, but I'm there a lot.

Hope any of this was at all helpful.

[WSG] realtime CSS editor feedback pleased

2004-11-07 Thread Steven . Faulkner

Hi all
I have been playing around with a bookmarklet script that I found last year
by simon willison (edit styles
[http://simon.incutio.com/archive/2003/06/03/bookmarkletsAndCSS])

the bookmarklet opens a new window in which you can write CSS statements
that will be applied to the page.
this script has been included in the web accessibility toolbar since it
first incarnation,
but i have always wanted to beef it up and include some new features, which
i have now done,.
It is available as a bookmarklet (for IE only at the moment), if you want a
something similar for mozilla (go to slayeroffice
http://slayeroffice.com/?c=/content/tools/style_tweak.html), but i intend
to also incorporate it into the toolbar.
the current features are:
select lists:
1.all styles found in linked styles sheets (filters out stylesheets of
media type print)
2.common elements
3. a sub-set CSS properties
4. common colours
and buttons to insert some common names/characters/symbols used in CSS

I would appreciate any feedback/comments about the functionality (I don't
need feedback about the html as i know it is crap and needs to be fixed)
It dosn't  always work (sometimes access denied errors occur)

it can be got here: http://web_accessibility_toolbar.blogspot.com/
