Firebug?

[Pupator]

I see lots of suggestions all around dgrin that users should download and use WebDev for Firefox. WebDev is a great tool, but if you haven't found out about it yet, FireBug is better (http://www.getfirebug.com/)! More options, more detail, easier to use (after the initial learning curve).

Give it a try!

Web Developer does have a smaller learning curve though and the css editing is more intuitive for n00bs.

Cant go wrong with either one.

Agreed - though I think it might be best for n00bs to use both. Having a color swatch pop up when you mouse over a color code in FireBug is really helpful for people who are trying to figure out why a particular section is a certain color but they don't know what the code for that color is.

It has saved me a time or two since colorzilla doesn't work with FF2.

Yep. One should never, ever stop learning! :bow

Heh - thanks for the tip.

But (just to be contrary) a simple mouseover is much easier. There's nothing wrong with WebDev, it's a great tool. But I'd encourage anyone who hasn't to give FireBug a try. You'll be amazed at what it can do.
