Help me please…
I just installed Firefox 2.0, and all of a sudden, my username/password isn't being inserted in the signon window (it always was before). I tried the usual suspects–I did not mistakenly tell FF not to remember the password for this site; and I also tried the remember password bookmarklet, but all to no avail–FF will not ask me to remember this password. What do I need to do to get around this?

A good tip. However, I think I’ll stick to View Rendered Source…:)

You can copy-paste the alert message by selecting the dialog window , just click so it has focus -just dont hit the ‘OK’ button and pressing Ctrl-C and then Ctrl-V into your favorite text editor.

When you select some text in Firefox and view selection source through the right-click menu, the browser shows the same thing…

That’s good tip (especially for small blocks of code), but not always practical: for example, sometimes it’s simply not possible to select the piece of code you’re interested in.

Using alert to print out code also works well for brief fragments, but larger blocks just end up with a massive dialog box that often disappears off the bottom of the screen.

When you select some text in Firefox and view selection source through the right-click menu, the browser shows the same thing without any extension: it shows the rendered HTML source.

I don’t know any hack to view the rendered source in IE without additional plugins. However you can always check the html by alerting body’s innerHTML in JavaScript (Of course, if you have the sources of the website at your local computer).
