CSS

[Gianni]

I can't find a CSS NG to ask this.

I can right click on a webpage and
look at the source. Is there some
way I can look at the CSS source?

CSS source is partly in element attributes (style="...") and in <style>
elements, which you see when you view HTML source, partly in external
stylesheets, which are referred to by <link> elements, which you also see in
HTML source, so you would need to find out the absolute URLs of external
stylesheets and access them with your browser.

More easily, use Firefox and install the Web Developer Toolkit. It has nice
CSS tools, for viewing all stylesheets directly, for viewing styles that
apply to a particular element, and even for editing CSS code on the fly. I
can't imagine how I lived years without it.

What browsers are you using? There is an excellent extension for
Firefox, called the Web Developer's Toolbar by Chris Pederick.

While viewing a page, press Ctrl-Shift-E and see the CSS in a sidebar
pane - where you can even edit it and play with it.

Otherwise, you can look in the source for inline CSS, and get the URL to
external CSS files.

Jukka and Beauregard,

Thanks for the information.
It was just what I was looking for.

If you're using Opera, just look under "Style sheets" under Info in
the sidebar, or Advanced->Developer Tools in the Tools menu. No need
for plugins.

Look in the header section for <link> and find an item with a file
extension of .css.

You can then navigate to that page directly or save the website page
as a file on your machine.
