Cool Tools for Web Development
Posted by Dan Romanchik on Aug 24, 2006 in Web Development |
Despite my earlier bad experience with Firefox, on the PC, on the Mac it runs great. So much so that I might start using it as my default browser.
One reason for this are the cool extensions that are available for it. Here are two of them, written by Kevin Freitas, that are very simple to use, yet are also very useful for website developers:
- MeasureIt. This extension lets you measure the area in pixels of any area on a web pages. Very useful for measuring the height and width of images.
- LinkChecker.T This extension, as the name implies, will check all the links on a page and color code them: green=good, red=bad, yellow=forwarded. This tool will save you a ton of work and really improve the quality of your websites.
Thanks, Kevin!
