Using the DOM Inspector
If you are debugging a Web page that you are creating, the Document Object Model (DOM) Inspector
can be useful for checking out the structure of your page and dynamically updating the DOM you are
traversing. To open the DOM Inspector, from the Firefox window click Tools???DOM Inspector.
In the DOM Inspector window, type the URL to the Web page you want to check out. The nodes
representing the head, body, tables, fonts, and so on appear in the left column. Values for each
node appear in the right column. Click a node name, and the selected area is highlighted on the
page below, with the node value appearing to the right. You can also use the DOM Inspector to
inspect a window.
Resizing the Web Page
There is a nice keyboard shortcut that lets you quickly resize the text on most Web pages in Firefox.
Hold the Ctrl key and press the plus (+) or minus (??“) key. In most cases, the text on the Web page
gets larger or smaller, respectively. That page with the insanely small type font is suddenly readable.
There are many more things you can do with Firefox than I have covered in this chapter. If you
have questions about Firefox features or you just want to dig up some more cool stuff about
Firefox, I recommend checking out the MozillaZine forum for Firefox support:
