Some tips to modify stylesheet

[battra]

Here is how to find out which CSS class/ID to modify for a specific part of the page:

1. Download Web Developer extension for FireFox here
2. Install & restart FireFox. You should see an additional bar right above the tabs.
3. Select Information > Display Element Information
4. Move your mouse/hover around the page and you should see the CSS tags for each page element is displayed just below the Web Developer bar. This allows you to see which class or ID control an element and what is the hierarchy. Once you get the ID, you can look for it in the CSS file and make the changes.
5. If you click on an element, its information is displayed in the yellow box on the left.

Apologize if this seems trivial, hopefully can be useful for some of you.

Good explanation. We can get tired of going over that for the bazillionth time, so it's nice to have it clearly written out in one place.

For those who prefer to work with Internet Explorer, there is also a developer toolbar available for download on the MS website here:

For a quick overview of all classes and id's:

Use the formentioned FF developer tool (made by Chris Pederick) and click on "Information|Display Id & Class Details"

Get the Firebug add-on as well - combined with the Web Developer gives you amazing powers!

Another handy one is X-ray, although the page can get a bit cluttered with info when you use that.

Yes. We need guys like you to come together more often. That is just to the point!

I can now put the 15 library books away for the time and use that Firefox plug in and the IE plugin. I am totally new, newer than newbie! But I wish to learn and understand this stuff hopefully with some guidance.

Again, Kodo's to you guys, I appreciate this post.
