    Firescope Firefox Add-on for Firebug

    Fans of the swiss army knife of web development Firebug will be happy to hear that this wonderful Firefox add-on has added another blade to its arsenal. With the help of the Firescope add-on, it can now provide CSS and HTML reference in a snap. Just right-click on any tag and click on the context menu to perform a lookup. The tool appears to have been developed by the web gurus over at SitePoint, so tool has links to further information on the SitePoint Reference web site.

    The tool is also searchable. You can:

    … search for HTML elements, HTML attributes, or CSS properties (or any combination). The search happens live as you type, so usually you’ll only have to type one or two letters to get the results you want.

    How does your design approach affect accessibility?

    In an article entitled “Visual vs. Structural,” Tommy Olsson compares the two most typical - and often competing - web design approaches: visual design and structural design. The balanced and well-written article makes the point that while there are often no major differences in the code produced from one design approach or another, using a structural approach can result in more accessible sites.

    While I hesitate to use such loaded words as “better,” I definitely agree that structural design can contribute to a product that is more scalable, easier to maintain, and more accessible. (I say this from the perspective of someone who has employed both approaches at one time or another.) And remember, “accessibility” doesn’t just mean “blind people.” As the web moves away from being confined to the desktop computer, accessibility is as much about accommodating mobile technologies as it is about making sure content is available to disabled users.
