Show IDs in HTML Documents

Filed under: Web Development, Javascript — Scott Severance at 2:36 pm on Wednesday, October 12, 2005

I’ve written a Javascript bookmark that allows the user to find HTML elements with a given ID. This is handy for debugging HTML code. I’ve tested it in Firefox 1.0.4, but it should work in any Firefox/Mozilla version or any recent version of other browsers that allow Javascript bookmarks. This script doesn’t work in Internet Explorer.

To create a bookmark, right click the folowing link: Show IDs and choose Bookmark this link… or choose Copy link location and manually create a bookmark.

Update 10/13/05: I’ve upgraded the bookmark. The ID list is now much more readable.

I’ve been using it in Firefox 1.0.4 on Windows XP quite a bit, without difficulty. Would you help me by telling me what version you’re using, as well as what error messages — if any — you’re getting? That way, I might be able to fix it. I’m sorry that it didn’t work for you.
