Advanced Eyedropper, ColorPicker, Page Zoomer and other colorful goodies.

With ColorZilla you can get a color reading from any point in your browser, quickly adjust this color and paste it into another program. You can Zoom the page you are viewing and measure distances between any two points on the page. The built-in palette browser allows choosing colors from pre-defined color sets and saving the most used colors in custom palettes. DOM spying features allow getting various information about DOM elements quickly and easily.

Total Validator

Provides true HTML validation (HTML 2.0 to XHTML 1.1) using the official DTDs, plus added attribute checking. So you no longer have to put up with the limitations of the W3C validator (no type checking) and tools like HTML Tidy which interpret the standards incorrectly (they don’t use the official DTDs).

Also performs accessibility validation (WCAG, US-508), broken link checking, spell checking (5 languages), and takes screenshots using 36 browsers on Windows, Linux, and OS/X.

View Source Chart

Source Charting…

* Graphically Displays HTML Tag Boundaries
* Graphically Defines Tag Nesting Order, Structure and Hierarchy
* Adds A Simple but Powerful User Interface *TO* Source Code

WHAT SOURCE CHARTING DOES THAT INDENTATION-ONLY FORMATTING DOES NOT:

Source Charting Allows the User To…

* quickly scan and recognize a document’s tags without reading a single tag
* see how deeply nested an element is just by looking to its left (no scrolling/finding/reading tags)
* identify an element’s containing tags without having to scroll, find and read each tag.
