Awesome Trick

Jul 07, 2008 22:56

This is one of the coolest tricks I've found in a while.

Go to any website. Then replace the URL in the address bar with this:

javascript:document.body.contentEditable = (document.body.contentEditable == 'false' || document.body.contentEditable == 'inherit'); void 0;

Hit enter to run that code on the page. Now the page you're looking at is editable, just like you're using a WYSIWYG editor.

Annoying flashing ad on a page? Delete it! Want to preview a quick change to a page you're working on? Do it right in the browser! Want to add your own notes or tweaks to a page before you print it out? Go nuts!

You can even bookmark that line of code. I have it sitting in my bookmarks toolbar. It toggles, so click once to make a page editable, click again to go back to "read only".

Tested in Firefox 3 and Safari 3. Source: http://www.reddit.com/info/6qmuw/comments/.
