Web Design and Implementation (Winter 04-05)


Web Developer's Toolbar (29 November 2004)

I would strongly encourage you to install the very useful Web Developer's Extension, an extension for both Firefox and Mozilla.

It has many features useful to you in your work for this course, which I'll be talking about during class today. I encourage you to install this extension on your own computers, and I've asked our sysadmins to install it on the IT computers as well.

i tried using firefox, it is a lot better than IE,
web developer's toolbar is really convinent..
however, it has an incomplete google toolbar, and i don't think google made a firefox version...

for example, if i want to find the word "projects" on this page,
i can type it in the search bar,
and then click on "highlight" button and the word "project" will be highlighted.
(this is better and easier than using 'find')

hopefully firefox has simailiar functions build in.

The built-in Firefox search does what you're talking about. Use Ctrl-F to find, and a search box appears at the bottom of the page...as you type, it highlights any match on the page.

FYI, Version 0.9 of the web developer toolbar is out. Not a huge improvement, some different images, different colors, same functionality. I like it, makes it very easy to validate, view/edit CSS, view HTML, super handy.
