1. Navigate to the folder below (replace USERNAME with your user account).
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari

2. open up Preferences.plist and add the following two lines anywhere before the line “</dict>”

<key>IncludeDebugMenu</key>
<true />

3. Restart Safari and you should now have a Debug menu.

Internet Explorer 7 now available for pirated version of Windows XP

• page is being requested in SSL mode
• div has a background image in the form url(/path/to/image.extension)
• the use of the removeChild function

 
Any time the specific div gets removeChild’d AND it contains a background css style, IE will prompt the user the page contains non-secure elements right before it gets removed.

To get around this, delete the background css style before calling the removeChild function. Microsoft has also released two alternate fixes.

Update: IE8 seems to be affected by another type of javascript manipulation that triggers mixed content warning.

With Intervals we have developing a handheld version on our development roadmap, but we are longing for better browsers that allow the functionality to work as intended without having to make a separate user experience for handhelds.

Switching between different tabs would restore the background to its intended CSS value (#887D75), but nothing else seemed to work ( even tried <div class="clear"></div> at the bottom of the page ) until I tried this CSS:

body { position:absolute; top:0px; bottom:0px; left:0px; right:0px; }

I don’t know about everyone else out there, but seeing “Windows NT” and “Safari” in a userAgent property is something that I didn’t expect. It gives me both the creeps as well as a little excitement on what’s to come. Excitement would be more users submitting bugs to apple on this browsers crappy editable html javascript implementation, maybe this will get AppleWebKit to fix the bugs faster. What gives me the creeps is it gives me another platform our websites should run under… bittter sweet.

You can download the public beta here.

Update: It seems like most of the showstopper bugs are fixed with this version. With just a little push this very might well be a very good release.

UPDATE II: So I can’t maximize Safari on my RIGHT MONITOR… it just dissapears. Is that Apple trying to send a political subliminal message? ;)

They say Google is Your Friend, but if you use this extension it will make it your slave. I could just go on with features but I’m not. Some of my favorites are position counter, ad removal and rival search engine links.

Localtionbar,²

This extension arranges the location bar for better readability and usability. The URL hierarchy is divided up into three parts, protocol (http, ftp, etc), domain and requested document. Click functionality allows you to navigate up the document structure with ease.

Split Browser

Split the screen into multiple views. Useful when working with large documents or an alternative to switching between tabs.

Stumble Upon

Take a breather from coding and hit the stumble button on this great toolbar to be magically redirected to a cool website of your liking. Once you return you’ll find yourself magically solving the pesky bug you were trying to fix in the first place.

IE View

Add a right click context menu entry allowing you to open the current page on Internet Explorer. I use this a lot when doing cross browser testing. Sure there’s the IE Tab, but this one is much faster.

Other more popular extensions I use that everyone probably already knows but are still worth mentioning are:

Firebug – Javascript/CSS/DOM debugging behemoth.
Greasemonkey – Customize any webpage.
Live HTTP Headers – View all headers an HTTP request creates. Useful for debugging cookies and sessions.
Web Developer Toolbar – Nuff said.

Inline Search is an add-on for Internet Explorer that mimics Firefox’s search behavior, it turns searching into a Web page into a non modal research experience coupled with a search as you type facility. It integrates into IE, giving it that little extra that makes you a lot more efficient when you are looking for a specific piece of information. Version 1.3 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Details

The way it works is it overlays a clickable icon where ever there’s a flash movie. Installing is easy, just download and install this file.
