XRAY passed beta!

Post by figaro11 »

Well, I found out that westciv's newest release of XRAY came out with IE support! This is somewhat exciting because I do be leave that with current web technologies we developers could actually get the IE dream: firebug for IE! It's kind of a crazy idea, but it just my belief!

So for those of you who don't know what XRAY is try it out!

Copy this into your browsers address bar!

Code: Select all

javascript:function loadScript(scriptURL) { var scriptElem = document.createElement('SCRIPT'); scriptElem.setAttribute('language', 'JavaScript'); scriptElem.setAttribute('src', scriptURL); document.body.appendChild(scriptElem);}loadScript('http://westciv.com/xray/thexray.js');

Nice. That'll be quite handy for debugging IE layouts.

Yes. Do you think that this could actually because a firebug? Or more, could you create a firebug with Javascript and such?

Firebug is written in JavaScript, but it hooks into Firefox's chrome interface I believe. I doubt there's any way to do the sort of thing FB does without a level of integration beyond Javascript's usual sandbox.

What are you on then, a Mac? I do believe it works in Safari too. (EDIT) No, not as well.

Works just as well for me on Safari. Also tried it in Firefox, Camino, and had no issues there either.

I'm curious now about where it isn't working, and what isn't working. Maybe I'm missing something.. :)

It's just a bit, weird on Safari on my computer. It tears, is that what you call it when a something keeps repeating it's self when dragged? Also the canvas used in XRAY is about 200x200 in size.

Strange how it would only be doing this on my computer though.

Weird, no issue with dragging on mine, and the canvas size was the same on firefox and safari for me.

Dunno what the cause would be. <shrug>
