create one of your own...

just find opening and closing tags of each component... really simple on concept .. a LOT of lines to be written

i made this script that may help you.
open the webpage you want to audit, paste the code below to the address bar after the web page is fully loaded. I tested it in Google Chrome

javascript:var elts=new Array("tag1","tag2","tag3",....,"tagn"");var n=elts.length;var sum=0;var i;for(i=0;i<n;i++){sum += document.getElementsByTagName(elts[i]).length};alert(sum);

USAGE- in the first line replace the italics part with the name of the HTML tags(in quotes) separated by commas you want to audit. then paste it to the browser Address bar. Eg if you want to count the number of images(img), div and body(ITS JUST FOR EXAMPLE), modify the code as


javascript:var elts=new Array("img","div","body");var n=elts.length;var sum=0;var i;for(i=0;i<n;i++){sum += document.getElementsByTagName(elts[i]).length};alert(sum);
