I've recently updated my jVariations plug-in (not sure if anyone was
using the old version). It is a developer tool that allows you to toggle
variations (aka corner cases) on a single HTML page. Useful for rapid
visualization of code changes... before weaving in the real DHTML calls
or handing files over to server-side engineers.
Once again, this is very nicely done. I have two suggestions. I am
using the older version (and will upgrade to this one soon) and I use it
with a bookmarklet/favelet something like this:
<a href="javascript:void($('#jvariations').toggle());">Variations</a>
This lets me toggle the console from the browser's chrome. It's very
handy. You might want to suggest that in your documentation/demo page.
Second might be harder if striving to get older versions of IE right,
but can be very useful too: Position the console as position:fixed. I
don't know how that will play with your drag and drop implementation,
but it's annoying to have to drag that around the page when I scroll.
If it was "fixed" then it would follow the scroll, but I could still
move it to wherever I wanted in the viewport with the DnD.
In any case, great job!
