DAT.GUI is a lightweight controller library for JavaScript. It allows you to easily manipulate variables and fire functions on the fly. DAT.GUI will infer the type of the property you’re trying to add (based on its initial value) and create the corresponding control.
By default, DAT.GUI panels will be automatically added to the HTML document and fixed to the top of the screen from right to left. You can disable this behavior and append the gui DOM element to a container of your choosing.
Requirements: Javascript enabled

html2canvas allows you to take “screenshots” of webpages or parts of it, directly on the users browser. The script renders the current page as a canvas image, by reading the DOM and the different styles applied to the elements.
It does not require any rendering from the server, as the whole image is created on the clients browser. However, for browsers without canvas support alternatives such as flashcanvas or ExplorerCanvas are necessary to create the image.
The script should work fine on the following browsers: Firefox 3.5+, Google Chrome, Newer versions of Opera, >=IE9 (Older versions compatible with the use of flashcanvas).
Requirements: Google Chrome 12, Firefox 4 and Opera 11.5

Test spies are useful to test both callbacks and how certain functions/methods are used throughout the system under test. Use a stub when you want to control a method’s behavior from a test to force the code down a specific path. Mocks are fake methods (like spies) with pre-programmed behavior (like stubs) as well as pre-programmed expectations.
