This involves removing the horrible dropdown box from the Box Model page and replacing it with a graphical representation (similar to the one found in Firebug). This will then be followed up by allowing people to change which measurement they are viewing in box model viewer.

I’ve also been working locally on a patch to provide some sort of hinting as to what type of property you are viewing in the Javascript object viewer, this basically involves using a list of default properties of each dom object (which I’m using from Firebug) but I think this is the sort of thing that could be standardised so that we aren’t duplicating this code, and it’s always up to date, as new elements are added (Video for example).

As this includes performing some user interviews of the DOMI, I have been doing some research of people who have blogged about it.

One of the standout points from this has been the amount of talk in blogs about Firebug. I’m extremely curious as to how many people have moved away from the DOMI completely, or if people are using it in conjunction with Firebug. I know personally I’ve been using Firebug alot but there is a bug in it preventing XMLHttpRequest’s working in XML documents, and unfortunately this is a show stopper for my development.
