Guest Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 If altering the CSS in CC gives you apoplexy, this may help (altering the CSS, that is). One of the tricky things with CSS is (a) finding which block of CSS code controls which part of the page, and ( exactly what it'll look like after you alter it. There is a very cute add-on for Firefox named the Web Developer Tool, written by a Chris Pederick. Once installed to Firefox the WDT enables you to view both the page you wish to alter, plus its associated CSS, side-by-side. You can alter the CSS code "live" and watch the changes on the page, thereby greatly assisting the initial identification of a block of code, and then allowing you to see any change effects as you make them. Note that you cannot "Save" the changes you make to your server - the WDT does not have a built-in FTP function - however you can identify code and see changes much faster than you otherwise may, then simply make notes and edit the live code and save it as you normally do. The WDT is available free from http://chrispederick.com/work/firefox/webdeveloper/ . Hope others find it as useful as I have. Brook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
