Javascript DOM Inspector for IE6 and Mozilla-based browsers.
Current Version: 2.1.20050531
Current Bookmarklet:
Inquisition
About
Inquisition is a Javascript application which is intended to replicate the functions of the Mozilla DOM Inspector.
It was originally intended for use in IE, but since it does a few things that the Mozilla DOM Inspector doesn't, it's
been extended to work with Mozilla-based browsers as well.
Instructions
Installation: Inquisition is available in two slightly different versions. To install the bookmarklet version,
all you need to do is right-click on the
bookmarklet link and "add to favorites" or "bookmark this link". Then just
click the bookmark and Inquisition will load on whatever page you are currently viewing. (If you want to see how this works, just
left-click on the bookmarklet link to load Inquisition on this page.) The downloadable version
is intended for offline use, or on pages that require more extensive Javascript debugging and variable tracking. After
downloading the .js and .css files, you can include the downloadable version of Inquisition in your page by adding
the following line to the <head> section of your page before any other scripts:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="inquisition.js"></script>
and adding the call
Inquisition.init();
to the body onLoad property after any other onLoad functions you may have.
Use: Once the Inquisition panel appears, use is simple. You can mouse over any control to see what it does, but the
basic controls are:
- B Blinks this Element's background color.
- J Show this Element's javascript properties.
- C Show this Element's computed style.
- S Show this Element's javascript style array.
- E Bring up a javascript console in the context of this element.
You should also read the
Known Bugs, ToDo's, and other notes thread in the forum to catch up on any issues that
may come up when using Inquisition.
