Web Developer Extension - A web page dev toolbox
Authored by: gaoshan on Oct 20, '04 06:08:59PM

I use basically the same setup in Camino, however mine is a homemade solution (because Camino is better than Firefox. ;)

The original creator of this web developer set of tools is Jesse Ruderman and he provides all of the bookmarklets that make up the Firefox extension (and then some) on his site at:

http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/webdevel.html

I just downloaded them and put them all in a folder that I keep in my Camino bookmark bar. This gives me the same capability as the Firefox extension (just not as purty).

I currently have over 20 of these bookmarklets in use. Check it out and then you can get back to using the wonderful Camino broswer and won't have to use Firefox so much.

Oh... FYI, you will need to turn off "block popups" to get these to work in Camino.

Some of Jesse's Bookmarklets are based on my web development ones at samrod.com.

While I think some of these FireFox extensions are pretty cool, and I will likely be using them myself and likely improving some of mine accordingly, I think a few of mine are in some ways better. I prefer my "Forms" bookmarklet over the "View Form Information" in the FF extension because mine presents the information in a clearer, more understandable layout. I think I'll be adding controls to some of mine to toggle form methods and other such properties.

But overall, I prefer mine because, while I don't have nearly as many as the FF extensions, they're all stored in a single toolbar folder I've named "View". I find this more attractive than an entire toolbar spanning the top of my browser.... not to mention that mine also work in Safari and Internet Explorer, in addition to FF & Mozilla.

An additional note, I haven't updated my bookmarklets in a few years and I'm open to suggestions, comments, and criticisms. Either way I think they'll be getting an update soon. Samrod
