Hi
I would like to suggest a feature which makes it possible to display the boundaries of elements on along with magin(s) and padding on a page visually.
Dreamveawer has this feature and I find it to be really cool as it helps when one want to get a quick overview of what is on a page and if there are any gaps between the various elements which would make them behave in an unforeseen manner.
I'll admit that it is not the most important feature, but it would sure be nice to have.

There is something like that - select Preview tab, use IE for previewing and select "Execute XRay" from dropdown next to IE icon. Then you can click on elements and see their information.

Hi
First of all I'm glad to read that you understand what it is I'm after.
In regards to x-ray - I know and I also use it, how I find x-ray a bit cumbersome to use as it on display information about a selected element and hence it does not provide an instant overview of all element on a page.
Also, as I understand then x-ray is only working for Internet Explorer users, so what about the rest of your customers who are not using Internet Explorer ?
So, I think I can justify asking for this feature.
ps. I hope we'll soon see a major release
