JavaScript Shell 1.4

Changes since JavaScript Shell 1.3.1:

  • Up/down now navigate history as long as the caret is within the first/last line of the input. (Previously, the caret had to be at the beginning of the first line or the end of the last line.)
  • Navigating to the previous history entry now puts the caret at the end of the textarea.
  • Added tooltips for the links with accesskeys at the top of the page. (Fixed by Jesper Rønn-Jensen.)
  • Added overflow: auto; to the input field to prevent scrollbars from appearing in IE unnecessarily.
  • Alphabetize properties in props() output.
  • Added a hidden option for props() to print one property per line (pass true as the second parameter to props()).
  • props() now complains if you pass undefined or null.
  • Tab completion no longer causes an error in IE. (Fixed by Jesper Rønn-Jensen.)

    Btw, I use this tool to turn each new version of the JavaScript Shell into a bookmarklet.

    JavaScript Shell: Useful tool for editing DOM and JavaScript

    Jesse Ruderman has a tool for live-editing JavaScript and DOM on any webpage. I have found it very useful and indispensable for rapid JavaScript development, bug finding in unknown code.
    Couple of days ago I asked Jesse to consider some improvements…

    Thanks. I haven’t realized before what powerful tool this is. I’ll start using it some more.

    I have one wish. Make all the lists be links, like del.icio.us post page, where clicking a link will inject it into the command line.

    By “lists”, I mean the lists generated by the props() command, and in the Matches… message when ambigous prefix is used for tab completion (BTW, I get two colons after Matches)

    The diff appears to be incomplete, at least in IE6 under XP SP2.

    Jeremy, try viewing it with Firefox or using View Source in IE. IE has a bug where it ignores the text/plain mime type for anything that looks remotely like HTML. What am I supposed to do, send it as “text/plain; really”?

    Web developer’s collection of browser tools

    With the release of Firefox 1.5, I thought it’s time to make a round up on the tools and plugins that makes my everyday work faster, more efficient. Here are some of my favorite tools for Firefox and a few for Internet Explorer.
