Firebug is apparently the gold standard, but I've never used it (one day I will!). I use the Web Developers Toolbar (another Firefox extension) which has this nifty "View Style Information" command (Ctrl-Shift-Y) -- you just click on anything and the CSS styles that apply to that element get displayed in a separate window, in precedence order. You just read them going down the page, and last specification of a particular attribute wins, so to speak. I'd imagine Firebug probably has that option as well, so don't take my recommendation over that of the rest of the web-hacking community. Firebug does seem to be the winner, based on size of noisy userbase. - Matt -- A "critic" is a man who creates nothing and thereby feels qualified to judge the work of creative men. There is logic in this; he is unbiased -- he hates all creative people equally. _______________________________________________ coders mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/coders
