View What’s Behind a Website With Mouse X-Ray Goggles

Mozilla used to provide a fantastic little tool called X-Ray Goggles that let you see and customize the code behind any webpage. Unfortunately, they shut it down a number of years ago and ever since Ive been suggesting that individuals simply
usage Chromes examine tool to view the code behind a web page. In fact, I even consisted of that in
my weekly newsletter this week. This week I discovered that
Mouse.org uses its own
X-Ray Goggles tool for modifying the code and seeing behind a page..

Mouse.orgs X-Ray Goggles tool lets you see the code behind any web page and change that code to show anything that you desire in place of the original text and images. After you have actually made the changes you can release a local copy of the web page. In this brief video I offer a demonstration of how Mouse.orgs X-Ray Goggles tool works..

Applications for Education.
Mouse.orgs X-Ray Goggles supplies an excellent way for trainees to see how the code of a webpage works.

As I discussed in the video, you could use X-Ray Goggles to modify a short article online to make it a satire story. Print the page and give it to your students to attempt to determine the satire elements of the story.
