Timothy, thanks, in previous versions of Safari I don’t believe that menu option existed…

You don’t need to mess with the defaults command or com.apple.Safai.plist. Just open Safari, go to Preferences and the Advanced pane. Enable the Develop menu.

You misspelled the file name up there:

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safai.plist

Should have an ‘r’ in Safari. :)

for Vista it’s much easier to turn on. stealing from the help file:

if the develop menu does not appear in the menu bar, open Safari preferences, click Advanced and select “Show develop menu in menu bar”

In Vista I found the config at …

C:\Users\##USERNAME##\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Safari\WebKitPreferences.plist

… if only Safari worked as well as IE we’d not need to bother!

Cheers.

Julian. I ran into the same problem even when using the DOM view. Turns out I was trying to edit attributes in the “Computer Style” panel. You can edit the panels below it that are specific to a selector (e.g. p,td,div)
