IE Menu Extension: Cookie Explorer

I've created a new menu extension for Internet Explorer. This one allows you to view the cookies which you have for the website you are currently visiting and also allows you to modify the values of those cookies.

You can download the zip file containing the menu extension and the installer file Also part of this file is Document Examiner and a few other IE extensions.

Usual disclaimers apply.

Hmm "Mark of the Web" this does seem like a small hack

I remember being made aware of this Mark of the Web (Internet Explorer - DHTML) a while ago, but it's only now that I understand what it's all about.

I fell foul of the local machine lockdown with my document examiner menu extension. Having read the article on the MSDN and this Mark of the Web it's occured to me that this seems like a really bad workaround for what should be quite a simple fix.

Imagine having a whole offline library of DHTML files - would you really want to edit each one to add a weird mark of the web?

I may add the MOTW to the document examiner next time I update it.

Document Examiner: update

I've made a small update to the document examiner menu extension for Internet Explorer. Now when you are viewing the style object of a node the values are preloaded with the values in the currentStyle object. You can download the new document examiner zip. To install this extension right click the .inf file and choose install.

I was hoping that adding this would help me track down a problem I am having with a select drop down appearing to have a position:fixed style. Now I know that this css rule isn't implemented in IE so I'm both intrigued and annoyed at the behaviour. Mostly I'm annoyed.
