If you use FireFox web browser, and download the Web Developers Toolkit, you can get speed reports on your (or any other) site that you're on, you can view the CSS, you can view literally ANYTHING about the page you're viewing, including any information about any blocks, elements, and hundreds more features.
Just say you couldn't find out where to remove the space around your header (that's a VERY common issue in this forum, asked a thousand times), you simply view your page, and click on Information>Display ID & Class Details, and you will instantly see the EXACT place you need to edit in you stylesheet to take care of this (see image taken from your site with this feature turned on).
Once you ever use it, you can't live without it, as long as you're building a website such as ZenCart. That's not only a promise, but a fact!

Oh, yea, digi, I forgot......here's the URL (click here)of the speed report of your site, so you can see ALL the information for yourself. There's only about a hundred things that the speed report alone shows you.
And you say WOW!!!!!, huh?

digi, I know what you mean about not using anything other than IE, as I too, was a die hard fan of IE's, until I discovered how much all of these tools helped me on my site development.
And, no, IE doesn't have anything at all like this for developers, as (dare I say it in here?), Microsoft don't want the general population to develop ANYTHING on their own. They want you to buy everything, including Office, from them, so they can charge you 50 times the price of what it's worth, and 10 times harder to use, whereas, if you stick to open source software that's built by the people, for the people, you can have 50 times better tools, that's easier to understand an use .....and the best part......it doesn't cost you anything to use other than an occasional contribution, here and there.

Oops. Sorry. That's just one of my little pet peeves. I'll quit.


As far links in the signature, just go to User CP (at the top of ANY page in this forum), edit signature. There you will find an HTML AREA like this one, that you can put anything in there that you want. I theink it's limited to 500 characters, though.

digi, just wanted to make clear that, under NO circumstances, was I at all flaming you, but (here's that word, again) Microsoft. Sorry you had to see (read) my bad side.
But.....good news!!.......I've now woke up, had 3 cups of Joe (so far), and I'm MUCH better, now.

But in reality, if you're going to be developing a web site, you've GOT to have both browsers, as what looks like a perfect site to you in IE, might look like crap in FF (or visa-versa), as each browser interprets things differently, which could have a HUGE effect on sales with FF users. If the site don't look professional, well, we all know what happens there......customers leave.

I know that you weren't insulting me. I sure am thankful for all the tips. I am going to go do a search for firefox. Thank you again for all your help.

BTW~
I like you site. It is wonderfully designed.

Oh...thanks. I don't use FireFox. Is there anything similar for Internet Explorer?

Thanks it sounds interesting.

I think IE is trying something similar, but Firefox is a free download. Get the web developer tools (also free). You can change things in the the stylesheet to see the effect on the fly. You'll have to copy your changes and save them since Firefox won't let you do it (or you'd be able to change people's websites), but it can be a great help when you're trying to figure out why something's a certain color or size.
