Link rear-window.js into your document

Use one of the following three methods to load the Rear Window JavaScript file into your document:

By Bookmarklet

There's one prepared here.

Great for inspecting on the fly without altering your document. See this Wikipedia article for information about what Bookmarklets are.

By Downloading

From https://github.com/lukes/rear-window.js/raw/master/lib/rear-window.js

Save the file to somewhere on your computer, then add the following into your document:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="js/rear-window.js"></script>

Replace js/rear-window.js with the location you saved the file to.

By Hotlinking

Copy and paste this into your document:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="https://github.com/lukes/rear-window.js/raw/master/lib/rear-window.js"></script>

Usage

To load the Rear Window panel, either in your Firebug or Webkit console, or between script tags in your HTML document, type:

Rear();

Or to load the panel starting on a particular variable, type:

Rear('my_var');

Where 'my_var' is the name of the variable, passed as a string.

Examples

Download the complete Github repository:

git clone git://github.com/lukes/rear-window.js.git

Open the .html files in rear-window.js/demos in your web browser.

Custom CSS

Rear Window remotely loads its CSS into your document, but you can override this by providing a css param.

Rear({css: 'style.css'});
Rear('my_var', {css: 'style.css'});

Note, you probably want to look at the uncompressed CSS to start you off in over-riding the styles.
