WebKit gets Web Inspector Updates

Yesterday the folks at Surfin’ Safari announced several new and/or improved features to its Web Inspector. Web Inspector is a debugging tool similar to Firebug and Page Speed or YSlow. These updates will be be available in the next version of Safari. To use them now, install a nightly build of WebKit.

The latest version includes:

• Improved Editing Element Attributes and Style Properties feature
• Ability to create and modify existing CSS rules and selectors
• View colors in short hex, full hex, RGB, HSL or its name (if available)
• Storage monitoring is now rendered in an editable data grid and includes cookie data
• Ajax debugging
• New keyboard shortcuts
• Better support of the Firebug Command Line API

There are several additional features that I haven’t mentioned here. Read the post for a more complete picture.
