In complete contrast to the odd Transparent Page tweak in Safari 1.3,
here's something that's actually incredibly useful, epecially if you
are studying CSS, or just want to see how a particular web page is put
together. Safari WebDevAdditions 1.0b4 (from VersionTracker, of course)
adds some new features to the Edit menu:
1. Show CSS Styles opens a window displaying all of the CSS styles for
the page.
2. Disable allows you to toggle the display of Images, Links, Tables,
Divs, Objects, "Custom", and Styles
3. Outline actually outlines, with rectangles, the following page
elements: Tables, Images (and displays their dimensions), Block level
elements, Forms, Links, "Space table mode" (not complete sure what this
shows yet, since I have yet to find a page where it works) and
"Custom", which lets you define your own element description to
display.
Obviously, all of this will be of little use to you if you find HTML
and CSS as boring as used bus tickets, but if you have any interest at
all in web design, WebDevAdditions shows some fascinating stuff. Works
only in Safari though, so don't expect it do anything in, say, Internet
Explorer...
