Hi Ed, CSS is used to style websites. It keeps the structure (also called the content layer, HTML) separate from the presentation layer (the CSS). The third layer, known as the behavior layer is controlled by JavaScript. Firebug is a tool used by web developers to debug their websites from within the browser itself. It also allows temporary on the fly changes to see how updating CSS or javascript will affect the website before going back to a code editor and committing those changes.
If you ever want to get into more of a modern workflow, a tool like Brackets <http://brackets.io> is a nice, free and lightweight editor. To start with the basics, you can take a free course over the course of a month. http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/courses/30-days-to-learn-html-css Hope that helps. -Mike On Saturday, November 1, 2014 12:18:38 PM UTC-4, Ed Lake wrote: > > Sebastian and JP, > > From what I can tell, SeaMonkey looks perfect for me.
