I had an idea for a cool Firefox extension last night and I was all excited about writing it. Before I began learning how to actually write an extension, I decided to do a quick google search to see if someone else had already done it. And someone has! I'm both happy and sort of disappointed. Oh well, saves me the trouble I guess.
What does this extension do? It allows you to view the "rendered" source of a page. This is extremely useful for those cases where the page is heavily modified using javascript (gmail). Using this extension, you can see the actual html behind it all.
As quoted from the author him/herself:
When you view the source of dynamic pages using the browser's "View Page Source" menu option, all you see is the JavaScript which creates the HTML (and CSS) - not the HTML itself. When you view the source of dynamic pages using VRS, you see the original HTML, and the rendered HTML - the output of the scripts.
