X-Ray Extension Updated

For everyone who has been patiently waiting for the X-Ray extension to be updated to work with Firefox 1.5.0.1—here it is! This new version includes several enhancements:

• Support for a wider range of XHTML elements
• Can now be toggled on and off without reloading the page
• No longer interferes with the keyboard shortcut to cut text

Install X-Ray Extension for Firefox

Thanks to all the people who emailed with suggestions for improvements or offered code optimizations. “joh6nn” and “dragonchaos” deserve special acknowledgement for their help.

Donations to The X-Ray Tip Jar are greatly appreciated.

Features to be added in future versions:

• display self terminating tags correctly
• identify deprecated elements
• identify elements incorrectly placed on the page (head content inside the body)
• possibly display additional information about the tag such as class and id

Weekend Update

Two quick updates you might be interested in:

Most of the people who have updated to the newest version of Firefox will have noticed the X-Ray extension reports that it isn’t compatible. I’m going to update the file to make it work, as well as include support for a wider range of tags. That should be ready in the next day or two.

I’ve also been helping Dave at OntarioFilm.com get the site updated and adding some new features to the message board. If you’re a filmmaker, or would like to be involved in a film project in Ontario, visit the site and join the community. We’ll continue adding content and features over the next few weeks.
