View Source Chart

Another wonderful tool for you today.

View Source Chart/View Rendered Source is a FireFox plugin, and I’ve used it extensively in the past.  This plugin allows you to get a much better view of the source html of a webpage than most standard browser offerings.  The html is reformatted into blocks that reflect the html nesting of the source, which is often a chore to pick out.  The individual blocks of code are colored and outlined to be easier to distinguish, and you can click on a block of code to minimize or restore it so that you can focus on just what you want to see.

This plugin became a paid download awhile back, but it looks like the current version, 2.7, is free again.

I checked today 4/15 and it appears that 2.7 is now $10 for 9 copies, but v2.5.0503 which works with FireFox 3.08 is available for free.
