showheadinfo bookmarklet
To celebrate that WG's back, a small bookmarklet that displays the meta-information stored in the header of a webpage: showheadinfo showheadinfo (new URI).
How it works + credits:
The JavaScript string (stripped from the Squarefree "show blocks" bookmarklet) triggers an external stylesheet, which is applied on the current html-document. This external stylesheet is very similar to the one Eric Meyer used for his Show Everything: Revealing Normally Hidden Elements article, but adds the content property and attr() function for displaying the header's attribute values, too.
Needless to say, showheadinfo only works in recent Gecko browsers (+ Safari). Firebird 6.1 0.6.1 even renders the related and reverse related URIs as links!
And as always: tweaks and additions are welcome.

Wow Andreas, this is really slick. It's a lot nicer to click and show this information in a clean list, rather than having to view-source and sort through the html. Serves very well to speed up error checking for your header elements.

Works fine in Safari 1.0 (v85). Thanks.
