The good people at Mosio pinged me yesterday with this awesome tid-bit from their summer intern. Check out how you can modify ANY website in FireFox or Internet Explorer. It is so simple it might blow your mind!
- Step 1: go to a website you would like to mess around in
- Step 2: in the address paste this line
javascript:document.body.contentEditable=’true‘; document.designMode=’on’; void 0
- Step 3: highlight and play with the page as if you were in Microsoft word.
Check out their changes to AskTheAdmin below:

I then went berserk modifying sites… Taking screen shots of modified websites and sending them along. Great tip Jay! Did you guys know about this?

That's awesome! Here is an auto hot key script that does the above (to learn more about auto hot key: http://www.autohotkey.com/) “>http://www.autohotkey.com/) It goes to the address bar, replaces the web address with the Javascript line and puts back the original address, all you have to press is windows key + 'B' (you can change this to your liking) #b:: Send ^l Send ^x Send javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0{enter} Send ^l Send ^v return

I feel an autoHotKey post coming up! <Hint Hint Mr. Admin>
And here's a way to actually make this useful. Make the javascript link a bookmarklet. Open a new tab, then click the bookmarklet, for an instant blank, editable page. Good for jotting down quick notes that don't need to be saved.
that was cool
it was a neat little find
