CommentFinder

CommentFinder will take a website and reveal with a visible graphic the <!-- inline comments --> the author left in their code, much as if it would look if you were editing the page in Dreamweaver. If you mouseover the icon, you'll get a tooltip telling you what the text of the comment was. You can find all sorts of interesting things this way (people tend to leave themselves little notes ) , without the hassle of browsing source code.

Fun, eh?

TEST DRIVE:
Try it out by entering any URL in the form below, and all the inline comments will be mysteriously revealed. Spooky...

TAKE IT WITH YOU:
If you like CommentFinder, you'll love the following bookmarklet. To use it, simply drag the 'link' into your links bar ("Favorites Bar" in IE Mac, or "Personal Bar" in Netscape). From then on, whenever you are on a website and want to peek at the comments, just hit the button.
