[aklug] snazzy Firefox 11 page inspection tool

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hey guys, regular Firefox report: I just tried out Firefox 11. Most of
the changes are small, behind-the-scenes stuff, but there is one cool
new addition, the Inspect tool, available under Tools >> Web Developer
>> Inspect (Ctrl + Shift + I). It is like a conglomeration of
>> features
from various Web page inspection add-ons, but it is native and also
rather sleek.

* If the "Inspect" button is enabled, elements will be outlined when
you hover over them, showing you details about the element and how it
fits into the documents DOM tree.

* If the "HTML" button is enabled, a side window will also show the
element in its context in the HTML document.

* If the "Style" button is enabled, another side window will show you
the CSS rules and properties relating to the element you are
inspecting, while allowing you to switch on and off individual rules
and see the changes.

* A "3D mode" button causes the page to be render as a 3D image, with
the various "layers" of the document stacked on each other. The model
can be rotated and zoomed around by dragging the mouse. Seems to
render a bit slow on my system, but still a pretty cool idea. Helpful
for grasping the overall structure and complexity of the page, as well
as finding hidden elements.
