I came across this interesting Java script that allows you to edit pretty much any web page.

javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0


Just past it into the address bar and start moving objects around. Handy for changing a page before you print. Can you imagine the web being this dynamic. I hope S-Drive gets to this level. It would be great if you could have an individual login for each chunk of code on your web page.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Where did you find that script? I can't make it work by just pasting it into the address bar, and if I paste it and then hit enter, the browser says 'page not found'.

I just tried it on this forum page and it worked as is using IE 8. Paste and hit enter and I could edit the page. This is what scamsters use to make fake copies of websites. I can see the good in it though. Here's one place that the script is found.

It's a nice little amusing trick. It reminds me of the script that you can paste into the url window and everything on the page starts to fly around the page. :)

I don't want to be a fun spoiler but be careful before using scrips in IE for now coz well .. here is an article I found on the bbc.

Microsoft has issued a warning about a serious vulnerability in all versions of its Internet Explorer (IE) browser. If exploited by a booby-trapped webpage the bug would allow attackers to take control of an unprotected computer.
