Web Inspector, meet Fluid

Ever tried the Web Inspector in Safari? Yeah, it’s great, huh? Well, guess what? If you’ve installed Safari 3.1, you can now use the Web Inspector with any Fluid-created SSB as well!! Here’s how.

Say, like me, you have a Fluid SSB for Backpack… which you’ve appropriately named “Backpack“.

  1. Open Terminal.app.
  2. Paste this: 
    defaults write com.fluidapp.FluidInstance.Backpack WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true
  3. Type the return key.
  4. Browse to any page in your Backpack SSB and right click any element on the page. You’ll see a Inspect this element menu item. Click it.

Boom. Web Inspector in Fluid. :0]

    Very cool - but what about Gmail email addresses and autocomplete? When I start to type a contact name, I used to press tab and it would finish it off for me in Fluid, but now I’ve upgraded to Safari 3.1 it doesn’t.

    Loading Gmail up in Safari 3.1 still works though…

    Any ideas?
