Reviews of dimensions:
It sort of works and it sort of doesn't. First you have to make sure the extension icon is lit for the site you are trying to measure. Then you have to fight the browser. The ALT+D shortcut just highlights the address bar. For some pages and some CSS elements it snaps to the wrong things making it useless, but for others it works fine. YMMV
This extensions works great unless the zoom level for the page is changed. Then the extension does not work anymore.
it's working fine for me.. BTW if you have a popup on your site (or any other element with a very high z-index) just add this lines on the main style.css .fn-noCursor { z-index: 1000001; } .fn-dimensions { z-index: 1000000; } and you can even change to your favorite color as well ;) .fn-axis { background: royalblue; }
