1. Using Firebug for CSS
3 years ago
This is a demonstration of how to use Firebug, a Firefox addon, to investigate CSS.

It was done using Firefox 3.0.5 and Firebug 1.3.

For a slightly sharper version you can download the .mov file (at the bottom of this Vimeo page).

    This is a great and nice Tutorial. I wasn't using FireBug this way for CSS design as I was only using CSSEdit, reading / Editing HTML and CSS at the same time is really a great feature.
    Thanks for sharing

    I was reading a twitter from the right side of your site while watching this video and I read it in an Austrialian accent. : ) Very helpful video by the way.

    I downloaded and installed Firebug the other week, but hadn't played around with it much. After watching your tutorial, I'm going to start using it a lot more. That was extremely informative -- thank you for posting your tutorial!!!

    Thanks for a great tutorial, for a noob like me it's a great way to learn. However, can someone tell me why the change I do to the code using firebug is voided as soon as I refresh the page? (I'm using a theme found on the worpress gallery)

    Ok, I watched again and saw it's supposed to be temporary. So I have to edit my CCS file. oooooook...
    learning, learning.

    Google's Chrome lets you do the same just right click > Inspect Element.
