Let’s consider this standard input field:

<input type="text" value="Text." disabled />

Pretty standard stuff. Your web browser will automatically style it a little, but mostly just prevent the user from editing without any real visual hints. But let’s add some basic CSS to convey the state of the input, and to standardise it across our site and on most platforms. If we add the following CSS:

input[disabled] {
	border: 1px solid #999;
	background-color: #ddd;
}

But wait – our demo uses inline styles, but your browser might not have just styled that properly if we used a full CSS declaration. We don’t set a value for the disabled attribute – it’s a minimized attribute. To get IE to play nicely with it (and for XHTML), we’ll have to set the value to “disabled”:

watch the wrestler in HD

<input type="text" value="Text." disabled="disabled" />

If possible, just for total compatibility, we can also add a “disabled” class that IE6 will respect and apply styles for correctly.

<input type="text" value="Text." disabled="disabled" class="disabled" />

We can then change the CSS selector we’re using:

input[disabled="disabled"], input.disabled

And we’re done! This works across every major browser – IE6+ and FF1.0+ tested, and Safari 3 / Opera 9.5 should be fine as well. The Sitepoint CSS reference has further information on compatibility, available here.

Finally, if you want to see how Firefox styles disabled fields by default, load up your resource://gre/res/forms.css file (you’ll have to copy and paste it to your address bar). There are a number of lengthy selectors with just a few rules, but here’s the big one, way down the bottom:

button[disabled]:active, button[disabled],
input[type="reset"][disabled]:active,
input[type="reset"][disabled],
input[type="button"][disabled]:active,
input[type="button"][disabled],
select[disabled] > input[type="button"],
select[disabled] > input[type="button"]:active,
input[type="submit"][disabled]:active,
input[type="submit"][disabled] {
  padding: 0px 6px 0px 6px;
  border: 2px outset ButtonFace;
  color: GrayText;
  cursor: inherit;
}

GrayText is actually a system color – it’s defined by the CSS 2.1 specification and supported on and off in various browsers. These “special” color keywords are supposed to match the local system styles – on a Windows machine, for instance, Firefox would use the color: GrayText rule to style text in disabled fields with the same color that the local Windows system uses. A list of options is available on the CSS reference as well.

The Simple HTML DOM Parser is implemented as a simple PHP class and a few helper functions. It supports CSS selector style screen scraping (such as in jQuery), can handle invalid HTML, and even provides a familiar interface to manipulate a DOM.

Here’s a sample of simplehtmldom in action:

$html = file_get_dom('http://www.google.com/');
 
foreach($html->find('a') as $element)
    echo $element->href;

This snippet is fairly self explanatory – file_get_dom() is a simple helper function in the library that fetches the page and constructs a new simplehtmldom object around it. Once the object is available, we can easily use simple CSS selectors to find our elements – in this case, anchors – and iterate over them just as we would with PHP 5’s standard DOM classes. (The equivalent code with the standard DOM classes is twice as long.)

But the library doesn’t stop there – as well as traversing the DOM and extracting information, you can also alter it. Consider this snippet:

$html = str_get_html('
<div id="hello">Hello</div>
<div id="world">World</div>
 
');
 
$html->find('div', 1)->class = 'bar';
 
$html->find('div[id=hello]', 0)->innertext = 'foo';

The library supports many DOM-style approaches for manipulation, from exposing real attributes as shown here, to a few helper methods. It also includes other methods to traverse the current node – children(), parent(), first_child() and so on.

Real scraping? Easy. Here’s their Slashdot sample:

$html = file_get_html('http://slashdot.org/');
 
foreach($html->find('div.article') as $article) {
    $item['title']     = $article->find('div.title', 0)->plaintext;
    $item['intro']    = $article->find('div.intro', 0)->plaintext;
    $item['details'] = $article->find('div.details', 0)->plaintext;
    $articles[] = $item;
}
 
print_r($articles);

And finally, there’s always a simple save mechanism:

$html->save('altered-dom.html');

1. ReCSS
ReCSS makes testing out CSS hacks easy. When you alter your CSS in an editor and save the new stylesheet, you have to reload the entire page in your browser to see the effect of the changes. Sure, you can make the edits in Firebug, but Firebug’s inbuilt editor isn’t great for much beyond the slight tweak. With AJAX-powered pages and dynamic state, reloading the page isn’t quite as simple as it sounds.

Enter ReCSS: this handy little bookmarklet will keep your existing page entirely intact, but reload all the CSS sheets. You may see a brief flash of white in your browser as current styles are removed, before your page renders almost immediately with the latest set of CSS rules. Check out the project page.

2. Layout Grid Bookmarklet
Working out pixels and laying out a page is tricky, especially when working from detailed Photoshop mockups and sketches. After some suggestions from the community about using a background image of a grid for layout, Andy Budd created the Layout Grid Bookmarklet, which creates a drawing-paper style grid against the background of your page to generally measure elements with. Check out his blog post about it and the Layout Grid Bookmarklet.

3. XRAY
X-RAY is a great Firebug/Safari/IE Dev-bar style inspector for web pages. It features a simple point-and-click interface, revealing some basic CSS properties and inheritance hierarchy of the selected element, as well as outlining it and displaying dimensions details. The actual interface is quite slick, and hides away neatly when you no longer want it. If you aren’t at your preferred Firebug-equipped machine, XRAY is definitely something to have on hand. Check out the project page and the XRAY bookmarklet.

4. Aardvark
Aardvark is similar to XRAY, but provides a lot more functionality for traversing the DOM visually. Ever wanted to pick a particular element, then see what happens if you move up n levels, go to the next node across, or even dive in and start editing innerHTML there and then? Aardvark provides a point-and-click interface similar to XRAY, and then a set of keyboard shortcuts for moving around, focusing on finding what you need. Aardvark is actually available as a Firefox extension, although the bookmarklet is quite convenient. Head to the project page and try the Aardvark bookmarklet.

5. Slayeroffice Favelet Suite
We’ve saved the best till last – this favelet suite will blow you away. It features everything from DOM charts to mouseover inspectors, color lists to font resizers, rulers and even a hidden field modifier. All in all, this collection of 15 utilities all in the one bookmarklet is a must for any front-end web development. While it was last revised in 2004, it in many ways offers far more functionality than Firebug, with far more detail provided by its various tools. When you’ve finished with it it, just hit escape to quietly hide it away. Head to the project page and grab the Favelet suite.
