I am sure that many of your have already installed and tried Safari 3 beta.  For those of you have not, I would highly recommend it.  The speed of the browser that Jobs has boasted of actually lives up to the hype.  I have found the browser to be leaps and bounds over Safari 2, which honestly I was not a fan of at all.  So, if you are using or considering using the new version of Safari, there is a new feature that you can enable called "Web Inspector" for gathering information on the sites code.  Read on for all the details.

So, first of all you will need to enable the inspector.  To do so, you need to first close Safari then open up your terminal and put in the following...


defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

Then just start up Safari and right click any element of a webpage and select "Inspect Element" to load the inspector.  Have fun inspecting!
