Web Developer plugin for Safari?

January 21, 2006 1:42 PM

Something for (the latest version of) Safari that allows me to see which DIV I'm in by mousing over a section of the screen? Any suggestions besides webdevadditions (which doesn't work for me and the developer is unresponsive).

Best answer: Sounds like you want a recent nightly of WebKit.

Response by poster: Thanks kindall, but after looking at that page, downloading it, typing that line into terminal, and scooting thru the wiki... I have no idea how to use the thing. It says I shold see a new "Inspect Element" in my contextual menu, but I don't.

You don't need to type anything into the terminal. Just grab the latest nightly build from here. It worked for me.

Just download the nightly build, open it, ctrl-click on something and choose "inspect element." No terminal typing required. I actually like it better than Firefox's DOM inspector.

Response by poster: ah, okay, I understand now. It's a separate app or something that I run instead of Safari (but that brings up Safari). I had assumed I type that stuff in the Terminal and then run Safari and the menu would be in it.

*slaps head*

Thanks!

Thought not a plugin per se, you might also try Mouseover DOM Inspector.
