Page Introspection with XRAY

If you haven't already seen it, XRAY is worth a look.  It's no Firebug, but it still may be a pretty useful tool for document introspection.  And it works in IE 6+...which is nice.

And now I must digress for a related bitch.  I can no longer drag bookmarklets to my Links toolbar in IE.  Argh.  Seems the more "secure" IE becomes, the less usable it becomes.  That's one of the universal trade-offs, of course, but sometimes it seems more egregious in IE and, dammit, it's annoying.   The workaround:

  1. Right click on the bookmarklet
  2. Select Add to Favorites
  3. Choose the Links folder 

Not a difficult workaround, but one I haven't needed in the past and it annoys my that I need it now.  Maybe it's just early and I'm feeling surly.  Fortunately I find little use for IE anymore except in test scenarios.
