Safari’s Web Inspector

Internet, Macintosh No Comments »

I was just trying out the script debugging in Safari version 4 developer preview tonight and got more than I bargained for. I was trying to find out if I had a script error in my tags for Google’s new AdManager on the Amateur Traveler discussion boards pages (http://AmateurTraveler.com/board). I turned on the web inspector by using the “Show Web Inspector” menu in the Developer Menu. Instead of getting just script errors on my page the web inspector showed me errors in my HTML as well in a very clear and helpful way. In the example below I was missing tags in my HTML and the inspector tells me where it is assuming I meant to have these tags. This is very helpful.

I stopped by the Apple Store at the Westgate Valley Fair (Santa Clara, CA) near my house about 6pm on Friday night to see if there would really be lines of people for the new Mac OX 10.5 operating system. I was surprised that so many people should up for what most reviewers are calling an incremental upgrade. My final developer DVD is still in the mail so I will wait for that. (And wait while others are figuring out what programs are not working with Leopard).
