Ever come across a page where you couldn’t select some text or save an image? Usually it’s due to page having something transparent stacked on top of whatever you’re trying to work with. While I urge you to respect copyright, sometimes you want to save an image for reference or whatever.
The quick way to get around these image/text selection issues is to turn off the style sheet, find the element in the unstyled markup and save/copy. Here’s how to toggle style sheets in the three main browsers:
Firefox:
View > Page Style > No Style
Safari:
Develop > Disable Styles
Internet Explorer 8:
F12 > Disable > CSS
Sometimes you just have to close your eyes and steer with your feet.
