It's always interesting to dig into others's pages. Not for stealing, but for learning. It's good to interact with other developers/designers, because you can always learn from anyone, regardless if they are a newbie or an expert. Now if you have Firefox, you can simply stick to the web developer toolbar, that contains lots of useful features. But what would you do if you had the ill famed Internet Explorer or any browser which does not have the features like Firefox? XRAY rescues you from such situations.

XRAY is a bookmarklet (a link that you drag in your bookmark toolbar and that you invoke from any page on the web) that allows you to see within the elements of a web page and get informations about any element in this web page.

The installation of XRAY is, again, deadly simple : just drag and drop the bookmarklet on the browser's bookmark toolbar and it's done. Now all you have to do is navigate to the page you want to examine, and let the magin happen...

An example of XRAY at work

XRAY has been tested on Safari 2 and 3 on Mac OS X and Mozilla based browsers (Firefox, Camino and so on) on Mac OS X and Windows, and most likely Linux as well. The most exciting thing is that XRAY now works with Internet Explorer 6+ on Windows.
