You may not have the FireFox toolbar open. This is not in the admin section of your site but in the toolbars in FireFox.
Or, it may not be installed. Look first under Tools in FireFox. Is there a menu item Web Developer? If not, it's not installed.
If it is there, got to View, Toolbars and click on the Web Developer Toolbar.
Once the toolbar is open, you'll see a green blob next to the letters CSS.
The other helpful item on that toolbar is information. Items 4 through 6 on that menu are very helpful to me.
you are right it is not installed - how do I get it?
http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper\ for the Web Developer and http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/ for the HTML Validator.
There are many others you may like as well. Just got to Tools, Extensions to find more.
Ahh, good looking out! - Thanks for the help!:D
one more thing, I just replaced my template, what is the path to change the footer (copyright info) & the header (my own Custom Logo/header)?
Here's where your other great tool comes into play. Go into the admin portion of your site, to the tools menu. Go down to Develeoper's Toolkit and open it. In the last item on the list, enter Copyright in the left-hand box. Tab to the next and select the one that searches in both the admin and catalog. Tab again to the search button and hit enter.
You'll use this almost as much as FireFox.
:smile: COOL!!! Now it comes up with a whole bunch of them, can the search be narrowed down? I take it the same applies to the "tag line"!? Another question (fyi, thanks for your patience) can the body width be adjusted, I am not using any right side boxes - just on the left, and I wanted to strech it out to the far corner, sdo it looks fuller, is this possible??
Usually you can narrow it down by the name of the file. Header, footer, and main would give you a pretty good idea of where they would be putting data. Others are not as revealing but you will get the hang of it.
Use Firefox for the appearance of the site. If you use information and display div order. you'll note that some things are called wrapppers. These define the size of the area they wrap. By adjusting them in the css, you'll resize the site.
Remember that changes to files should be saved in your template override files to save them from being overwritten in future upgrades.
