Function Update: Structure > Event Handlers
My friend and colleague Sofia Celic has been working on updating and improving some of the Toolbar functions (as well as the laborious task of improving the documentation). The first function to get the treatment is "Structure > Event Handlers" which now is much more robust and checks for event handlers and combinations of event handlers on a greater range of elements: The script has been extended to include checking of the following elements: table, th, td, span, textarea,img. It has been also been amended to insert an 'information bubble' instead of a 'warning symbol' for 'onclick' attribute without 'onkeypress' attribute.
Many Thanks Sofia.....what's next?

Bug report: ID attributes and JavaScript variables
I have been flumoxed (not difficult for me) as to why some functions have not been working on some pages. I have worked out why..... If a HTML element in the page contains an ID attribute with the same value as a variable name used within a JavaScript based toolbar function, it won't work, thankfully it don't happen too often. So I will need to go through the process of updating the toolbar scripts with more unique variable names....

real time CSS editor bookmarklet (alpha version)
I have been working on an updated "CSS > test styles" function for the toolbar, the original was created by Jesse Ruderman. i have always wanted to beef it up and include some extra features, which I have now done. The user can now insert new and existing style declarations on the fly and see the changes take effect instantly, the changes will affect all pages on a site as long as the css editor is open. I will incorporate it into the toolbar eventually, it is available as a bookmarklet for now [IE only] CSS editor bookmarklet (to save right-click and add to favourites). Think IE is crap? An excellent CSS style tweaker for mozilla/firefox is available at slayeroffice.
Comments on the css editor appreciated....
