Update PyramiDOM source code and a new bookmark available
During a post into jQuery developer list, I wrote a sort of non-sense reply talking about the DOM as a three dimensional space to analyze and " ... bla bla bla ... " (that was not so interesting, just probably "futuristic" ...)
But why not, why can't we escape from ordinary convention to analyze a document creating a sort of DOM spectrum as is for Audio, Video channels, and other medias?
As quick start test, I have created an alpha version of PyramiDOM, a script hopefully short enough to be clicked, saved, or dragged as a bookmark and able to put a spectrum inside whatever page we are surfing.
The generated spectrum will contain every single nodeType 1 present in the document and will show via tooltip info about that node (nodeName, id if present, className if present). Moreover, it highlights somehow that node temporary changing the background (yellow one). The most wicked effect was in jQuery website itself, since it is dark, and since it is linear enough (you scroll and the spectrum is almost there where you scroll).
On the other hand, the most interesting spectrum was in Gmail, where you can spot a proper pyramid of nested divs. Each nodeName will have the same color, but for practical reasons each time this color will be different (random).
If anybody will like this idea I will post and comment the source code ;-)
