For starters firebug is a debug utility for javascript and it is also used for inspecting html / DOM (document object model). Unlike your authoring software which is that, auhtoring software, it does not publish to your website or save the file to your file system. Nowadays web pages are a series of resources located on remote computers, and mashed together into a single url.
Generally if you want to make some changes and compare it to something your editor spits out, then that would be called a diff. IE change some stuff in firebug, copy yoru changes to notepad, save them, then use a diff program to compare the changes line by line. if you find yourself using firebug to actually develope your website on, you are doing something wrong, ytou are using the wrong tool for the job. Yes firebug has and mimics alot of functions your IDE or authoring software has, but again its just a debugging utility, meaning its only mean to peer into what your working on. With that said, maybe tyou should try using a better authoring program, or learn how to get yours to do what you want. hope that helps a little kara --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
