Where are things in the files??

When I look at my page on line, how is the easiest way to find where the certain sections are in the files.

For example:
I want to see which page (CSS), and what line of the text, I need to edit in order to change the wording on xyc page.

OR

I see an image on the page and want to know where in the CSS sytlesheets that is hidden.

What is the easiest way to be able to do this? Can I use Firebug or something to do this?

Re: Where are things in the files??

Depends on what you're looking for and what you want to do. Firebug (or Web developer) in FireFox are great tools for discovering the different divs and what css might be controlling.

If you're looking for a specific phrase (wording), you can always try admin>tools>developers tool kit, I usually use the search box on the bottom of the screen and search "all files catalog/admin".

Check out https://www.driftbuildstore.com

What I am trying to find is where to edit the following...

The flash roater image (I think it is in the jscript_fade.js file loaded in the includes/templates/YOU_TEMPLATE/jscript)

The Orange/black 'links' to other catergories, which don't work. I want to chane where they link to, or even remove them completely. - I have no idea where these are

You bought a Template Monster template. Surely they will answer these questions for you. Have you asked them? If so, what was their response?
