CSS Layout Debuger

A tweet-sized debugger for visualizing your CSS layouts.

One-line version to paste in your DevTools

Using $ if your browser aliases it:

~ 109 byte version

[].forEach.call($("*"),function(a){a.style.outline="1px solid #"+(+~~(Math.random()*(1<<24))).toString(16)});

Using document.querySelectorAll:

~ 132 byte version

[].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll("*"),function(a){a.style.outline="1px solid #"+(+~~(Math.random()*(1<<24))).toString(16)});
function(a){ // Supply a valid selector (e.g '*' for all)
[].forEach.call( // Convert Nodelist -> Array
document.querySelectorAll(a), // Query for the selector (could be shortened to $() as Chrome & FF expose it in DevTools)
function(b){
b.style.outline = "1px solid #" + // Set the selector outline
(+~~(Math.random()*(1<<24))) // Pick a valid random CSS hex color
.toString(16)}); // Convert to a base 16 number. BOOM.
}
function(a){return [].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll(a),function(b){b.style.outline = "1px solid #" +(+~~(Math.random()*(1<<24))).toString(16)});}
