As you observe, Firebug does not edit HTML files. The page you reference above says: "edit the HTML live" which is what Firebug does. Sorry if this is not what you wanted. I think the detailed description is pretty clear however: ---- Instant HTML editing Firebug gives you a really fun way to make experimental HTML changes and see them take effect instantly. You can create, delete, or edit HTML attributes and text just by clicking them and tabbing from one to the next. The changes will be applied immediately as you type. If you're looking to do more than just make minor tweaks, Firebug allows you to edit the entire HTML source of any element. Just right- click an element and choose "Edit HTML..." from the menu. ----- jjb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
