Tool to show what CSS is applied to HTML element 2

[tlhawkins]

Hi,

I'm trying to unravel a CSS stylesheet to determine what CSS is applied to a particular HTML element. It's taking a lot of time to figure out the precedence of CSS styles and many elements in the HTML have multiple classes assigned to them on top of the styles applied to all HTML tags.

Do you know of a tool that can show me exactly what CSS styles are being applied to a particular HTML element?

Thanks

FireFox has a Tool called the "DOM Inspector" that works great .

That is a useful tool, I've used the DOM inspector before but never before noticed I could drill all the way down to the exact CSS style settings.

Thanks!

You might also download the Web Developer Toolbar Extension for Firefox.

Under the CSS menu, you can choose "View Style Information". Clicking on a page element will then open a window showing the styles for that element.

That's a great AddOn. One more reason to be using FireFox! Thanks!

There is an almost-as-good webdev toolbar for IE.
