X-Ray Update Displays ID and Class Attributes

by Stuart Robertson on March 3rd, 2006 | designmeme, tools, web design

It’s been a couple of week’s since I posted an update—and time to get things back in gear.

Here’s another update to the X-Ray Extension, bringing us up to version 0.7 and adding display of class and id attributes for elements. This was a frequently requested feature, and now that it’s added I think it really adds to the extension. X-Ray will show the tags, class and id names for content generated by external javascript files, which makes integrating generated content like news feeds into your site’s design a bit easier.

The update.rdf file seems to be behaving a little unpredictably, so if Firefox doesn’t tell you an update to the extension is available you can install from here:

Install Extension Install X-Ray Extension for Firefox

X-Ray is now available from the official Firefox Add-ons site as well, for the people who only install extensions listed there. As of this post they’re still showing version 0.6, but 0.7 should be available soon.

Thanks again for all the support. :-)

    Hi,

    Great extension ;c)
    I’d love it if it displayed class and id at the same time.

    Cheers,

    links from Technoratiparticular page right within your browser, thus removing the need to shift between code and webpage. An invaluable implement for web designers and developers and another reason why everyone should use Firefox.
