HOW TO unscramble compressed Javascript or CSS
A good & simple way to master HTML, CSS & Javascript is to view & understand the source of web pages that are innovative & exemplary. GMail's clever use of the OptGroup tag and the Auto Suggest feature in Google Search are some things among scores of other inventive features on the Web that are worthy of study.
Now, many websites compress Javascript code to remove unwanted whitespace and line-breaks to make the page load faster. In this process they also make the source extremely difficult to read. So how can an avid web developer unscramble the convoluted code?
Use Einars "elfz" Lielmanis' free online Javascript beautifier that comes with the source code in PHP
Similarly to make CSS understandable, use this customizable source code beautifier/formatter that works for Javascript as well. (Thanks Amit)
On a slightly related note, Jean-Claude Manoli has an online tool that allows you to format your C#, VB, HTML, XML, T-SQL or MSH (code name Monad) code for publishing on a web site or in a blog.
