Turn images on/off in preview

Post by strangiato »

When viewing the preview tab, I would like to be able to turn images off to be able to easily and quickly see what the page would look like if someone had images turned off. This would be especially helpful when designing an HTML email.

What would make this really great is to also have a shortcut key combo to do it on the fly without having to find a menu item or icon.

Thanks!

I hadnt actually thought of this before, but a great suggestion. This could be really useful - especially if the images on your page are not local.. could make coding a lot faster and easier.

karlis - what do you think?

For now anyway, you can use Firefox and Web Developer Toolbar to accomplish this. While you're there you can also test your page without CSS and/or without JavaScript.

Personally, I'd rather leave this stuff to the browser(s) and let Karlis and team focus on the code creation part. :) I know, I know, I feel like the one freak that doesn't use the internal preview. I just want as few layers in between my preview and actual client preview as possible so I do all previewing in browser, not in webuilder. ctrl s, alt-tab, ctrl r. check. for the next browser it's just ctrl-tab-tab, ctrl r...

Plus, with the advent of firebug, I don't know how I'd make anything anymore without it!

2 cents,
will

Try turning images off in the IE settings. Does this help? Unfortunately there is too little demand for this feature, so I can not promise anything.
