I am forever looking through CSS sheets to make amendments, sometimes i just cant for the life of my see the code that needs to be edited, it can really slow ya down!

I have a little tip to help identify which parts of the CSS are assigned to which item on the page, if you use FireFox as your browser, you can install the addon "Web Developer" it has a CSS menu, select "view style information" it will allow you to drag a box over the area of the page you are interested in, it will then show you all CSS attributed relevant to that area of the page, a real time saver!

Enjoy

Thanks Nobby, the Web Developer toolbar is a great asset for developers using Firefox and is an essential tool. Just to highlight another, Firebug is a superb plugin for Firefox that allows you to navigate code in realtime, make changes and see the difference in the browser. As with the Web Developer toolbar, Firebug is an essential.

Check it out and let us know what you think of it.
