Javascript Library Detector

Julian — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 17:44:52 +0000

If you are like me, and you love to look under the hood of every interesting website you visit. You are going to like this Firefox add-on I stumbled upon today. The JavaScript Library Detector is simple and straight forward. It places in the status bar a favicon of each of the libraries the website you are currently viewing has. Placing the mouse over each icon brings up a little pop-up with the name of the library and the version it uses.

So if you are a web developer you should definitely check it out, you will start to see that some of your favorite sites are already using js libraries such as: jquery, dojo, and prototype.

$(document).ready(function()
{
//have an alert box displayed on body load.
$('body').jAlert('Welcome to jAlert Demo Page', "success");

});
