So here I am debugging a really fun Ajax type website for my eCommerce coursework when I come across a problem - something isn’t working, and I have a funny feeling it’s because some invalid HTML is being vomitted out by my code. How do I find it? I can’t view the source as it’s all dynamically generated.
Enter Slayer Office’s Document Tree Chart Favelet. Try it out. You’ll love it.
Seems to have a problem sitting over flash though. No matter, I’m sure Pete will chime in with his fabulous new flash-blocking-FireFox-plugin. Pete?

I’d chime in, but you’ve got my router, you git.
Just tried coffeeandfeeds from where I’m working at the moment, I’m stuck with IE and behind a corporate finance-type firewall so many things are blocked (including all webmail) - notes:
- it’s looking better, I like the little tool icons for filtering feeds etc.
- I also like the beta warning box, the ads (money for you? good stuff) and the feeds with new posts shown in bold text
- not sure why, but the main logo (top right) flickers when I mouse over / mouse off it. It may be because I have some javascript things disabled.
- That’s probably why I can’t view any feeds either. I mean, I’m assuming I have certain javascript features disabled, I get the “error on page” icon in the bottom right corner of IE when I log ing. And although the feed list refreshes with the new number of feeds, I can’t view the feeds by clicking on them - nothing happens in the main window.
Anyway, back to work, if I can have my router/modem back I’ll check it from home tonight…

The filtering rocks my world. I could play with it all day. Filter up! Filter down! Mmmh.
The adds are fake, in case you didn’t notice - it’s a college, project, innit? The idea is to show how you could make some money from some sort of web app. Although having said that, I did sign up for Google Adwords, but they’ve yet to either accept or reject the site.
IE is cock. Fixing the JavaScript so that it works in IE is on my todo list, but so’s a lot of other stuff…
Hound your IT types for FireFox.
Failing that, why not try Portable FireFox? All you need is a pen drive or whatever.
