Hi, Jukka...

If I'm not mistaken (being a fairly recent adopter of Firebug, myself),
I believe that David wasn't using a technical term that you should look
for when he mentioned "Computed Style."  He was simply referring
to what Firebug would tell you is the resulting css after all the css rules
that apply to an element are accounted for.

Firebug is great at showing the css for a particular element, as well as
settings an element has inherited from previous styles which affect the
current element.

Make sense?

(And David, if I misunderstood you, don't hesitate to correct me!)

Rick

Could you please explain it slower? :-) I have recently installed Firebug, 
but its user interface is confusing. For example, if I enable Firebug, 
then right-click on something, select "Inspect Element", then I get a view 
with tabs Console, HTML, CSS, Script, DOM, Net. But where do I really see 
the style sheet rules being applied? I select "HTML", I get (on the right) 
the tabs Style, Layout, DOM, but the Style tab contains just the style 
sheet rule(s), e.g. font-size: 200%. I don't see anything resembling 
"Computed Style".
