From the terminal, run defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true Now you can examine html and css for the page you’re on similar to how you would with firebug. Position your mouse pointer over an element you want to look at. Right-click –> Inspect Element. [...]
This is a reminder for myself and others YOU CAN EDIT STYLES IN IE DEV TOOLBAR. I don’t find IE Dev Toolbar at all intuitive. Until recently, I did not know you could edit attributes, similar to how one uses firebug. In fact I’d given up on it being useful it all b/c in researching [...]
