David Davies writes about a nice feature in Apple's Safari web browser that proves to be a very useful web development tool. Here are some comments from David's weblog:
"The activitiy window is incredibly useful. It lists all the components of a web page during and after a page is rendered. You can use the list of a page's objects to see where all the objects are stored (i.e on which web server - a feature useful when designing or debugging weblog templates for example) allowing you to troubleshoot slowly downloading objects... What's more, once a page has fully downloaded and rendered you can see that object's size, plus double-clicking on any object in the Activity window opens that object in its own window. A very handy feature. Surprisingly Apple doesn't mention the Activity window on its own Safari web page. Anyway, now you know." [David Davies' Weblog]
You can access the activity window under the "Window" menu in Safari.
