View the source code of external javascripts.
All browsers include a “View Source” option, but
none of them offer the ability to view the source code of external
files. Most websites store their javascripts and style sheets in
external files and then link to them within a web page’s
source code. Previously if you wanted to view the source code of an
external javascript/css you would have to manually look through the
source code to find the url and then type that into your
browser.
Well now there’s a much easier way. You can use the JSView
extension to solve the problem. You can access it from the context
menu, from the toolbar, from the view menu, or from the status bar.
If the website you are viewing contains any external js/css files,
an icon will appear that says “CSS”, “JS”,
or both. Each individual file can then be viewed by clicking on the
filename. The file will be opened in a new window. You can also
choose to open all external files by clicking on “View
All”.
