Save edited Page/HTML

[Zinahe]

I'm a web developer and I don't remember spending a day in my I spent
without using Firebug. Thanks for the wonderful tool.

I often use firebug as a WYSIWYG html editor/manipulator to remove ad-
blocks, left and right navigators on pages before printing. But many
times I really wish I could save that edited page just as is, and not
with all the junk cluttering the main content area. Is it possible to
extend it to include "Save as edited" feature ? If I copy/paste the
html then I lose firefox's translation of image urls etc. to local
directories.

Regards,

Zinahe A.

I too would like to know how this can be done.. Once I am done editing
all my edits are erased. Let me know if you figure out how to do this!

Thanks,
Martin

Although I'm not entirely sure this is within the scope of Firebug, I
understand where you're coming from. I tend to use a combination of
webdeveloper toolbar and firebug not as much as a WYSIWYG editor
(there are better tools for that) but rather for tweaking css rules to
get them right - because a) I hand code pretty much everything and b)
the results are immediate (no reloading the page to see the changes
take effect)

I almost always forget to transfer css corrections I make in firebug
back to the source css file and then lose them. :) I blame myself
for that.

Kevin Decker has Firediff extension, our first effort to support edit-
and-export. As soon as we wrap up 1.4 we will spend more time on
extension support.

No one has worked on full export of the live objects to my knowledge.

yes i agree thats all its made for tweaks. this saves me hundreds of
hours each year. Rather then hand code some shyt, compile, test, repeat
12 times or more, now i just code the stuff up, and tweak the UI with
the realtime layout tab. The rulers are a life saver.

if you really want the modified code, use another extension like
greasemonkey or such which lets you save modified css and html to a
page. Also try developing your css inlinewhen testing, and then moigrate
to extrenal sheets when you know its 100%. then you can literary just
copy and paste into your external sheet.

thats a great idea, i definatly would love to see a diff in firebug, it
would convient for me to be able to diff obfuscated JSNI for reverse
engineering purposes, to see wchich and what sections of the compiled
JSNI changes, based on how the source code changes.

To save edits per page use:
Stylish add-on for CSS
Greasemonkey for JS
