Find CSS Element Stats with XRAY Bookmarklet

Posted on Dec 11, 2009 in All Posts, Articles, Online Tools

Get CSS Statistics

This bookmarklet is perfect for anybody who spends any time working  on web site layouts.  XRAY is used to see the box model for any element on a web page.  It will dim the area not selected, and give you statistics such as the CSS id or class assigned to it, the interface hierarchy, and the CSS code assigned to that section.

With that said, it is the perfect browser companion for people who pull up a web site and wonder, “how did they do that?” because it tells you everything right there on the web page.  It works with Internet 6 and up, and every Webkit and Mozilla-based browser out there today (that includes Safari, Firefox, Camino and more).

To use it, all you have to do is drag the bookmarklet to your bookmarks toolbar.  When you are on a site you want to see more about, click the bookmarklet and the semi-transparent XRAY window will pop up with all the information you could ever want. Go give the XRAY bookmarklet for webmasters a test drive yourself (then save it for your own CSS snooping) over at westciv.com/xray/.

    I must say, as much as I enjoyed reading what you had to say, I couldnt help but lose interest after a while. It’s as if you had a great grasp on the subject matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Perhaps you need to consider this from more than one direction. Or perhaps you should not generalise so very much. It’s better if you take into consideration what others might have to say as opposed to just going for the gut reaction to the subject. Consider adjusting your own notion process and giving other people who may browse this the benefit of the doubt.

    You certainly know what you are referring to. Dude, this web page is truly great! I can’t wait to browse far more of what youve got to share. Im genuinely happy that I stumbled on this when I did simply because I had been really starting to get tired with the total blogging world. You have turned me around, dude!

    Wow!, this was a real quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I keep putting it off and never seem to achieve anything

    What I would like to know is why must I care? I mean, not to say that what youve got to state isnt important, but I mean, its so universal. Everybody’s talking about this dude. Give us some thing more, something that we can get behind so we can really feel as excited about this as you do.
