Getting Started: Plone Theming - Part IV
Diazo Off and Firefox Inspector
Rendering a site un-themed
When you arte working with Diazo it is important to know how the content the theme is receiving is structured.In order to see a “non-diazoed” version page, just add :
?diazo.off=1
at the end of its URL. Try it now.
Using Firefox Inspector
I find Firefox Developer Edition indespensible in these activities. You can find a link to its home page on my personal page here ..., or look it up in the search engine of your choice.
- Once installed you can load up your page, select Inspector (or Toggle Tools) from the Tools (spanner icon) menu, thus
- Chrome has similar tools ... Chrome Menu > More tools > Developer tools

- The browser window splits, showing the rendered page at the top and a number of tools tabs beneath;
- The Inspector tab shows the html source.
- You can float your cursor over different elements in the source and it will show you the corresponding elements in the page;
- for example

- Clicking the Element Picker:

- allows you to select items within the rendered page, this will highlight the corresponding elements in the Inspector.

- Kinda cool, really!
