| Since I never read software manuals, I'm positioned to be pleasantly surprised when I stumble on a feature I have never seen before...In Firefox, double-click a word (or phrase) on a page to highlight it.Right-click the highlighted area. There's a choice to "view selection source". The payoff is the savings in time over IE's method: viewing the entire source and searching. With Firefox, just highlight that little segment and take a peek.Other browser news...There's a Firefox-like browser I have been using: the "Avant" browser. Avant uses the IE engine for rendering (not Mozilla). If having an IE rendering engine is important for your work, Avant has features that surpass Firefox in several ways. Avant keeps the faith and extends the featureset so you can stand tall with your Firefox peers. |

The document tree provides shade and fruit in the fall.  I am guessing the DOM probably doesn't do most of us any good at all.My own inaccurate synopsis based on a careful compilation of my prejudice, intuition, and heresay, tempered with strict avoidance of reading any material related to the document object model: If you spend time writing slick JavaScripts (I'm not a JS guy myself), you'll be wandering around the DOM all the time. The DOM tree is the principal data structure operated on by JavaScript, XHTML developers, and such.Taking it to the next level, you could write a DOCTYPE to render your own unique page, building in features like requiring certain elements to be present, or one designed to be viewed on a PDA. Companies develop DOCTYPES for internal and external documents as a way of achieving a standard look / feel and to optimize access to the document content for searching and indexing. Hopefully, someone that spends time working with DOM (e.g. actually knows something useful) will follow up.</end of heresay> |
