The DOM inspector shows you how the page is structured, and allows you to delete or move parts of it. It highlights elements with blinking borders when you click them, which is very good for finding the culprit of a layout glitch. A more hands-on version is the Aardvark extension for Firefox: http://www.karmatics.com/aardvark/ The DOM itself is good for reaching and changing element on the fly, or even creating new ones: http://www.onlinetools.org/articles/unobtrusivejavascript/ HTH -- Chris Heilmann Blog: http://www.wait-till-i.com Writing: http://icant.co.uk/ Binaries: http://www.onlinetools.org/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
