I use to enter what i though was this code “javascript:document.body.contentEditable=’true’; document.designMode=’on’; void 0” and i could edit anything on the webpage i needed on my own PC. Did they discontinue this function due to abuse, disable ability in newer browsers, or what?

If it truly no longer works, what program(s) should i download to enable functionality?

Firebug is one option. Here is a “how-to” article.

You missed the final ;

javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0;

And with the ‘ it works fine here

I’d say it might just be dependant of the type and styles of the web-pages – I doubt it would edit html5 or some on-the-flu loading type pages..

I use firebug when I have up a page in development on one of my sites. Easy to see what tweak is necessary without making the change in the html file, uploading, reloading the browser page and back and forth etc.
