If you use Firefox (like you should be using, or Opera) then you might want to give this a look if you run a blog or a forum.

It picks out the colors of whatever you highlight, and shows what part of the CSS affects it. It really helps if you want to edit your blog but you're not so good at editing CSS.

That is cool indeed. Speaking as someone who is CSS challenged, I don't know how many times I've tried to match a color with the right code by guessing and failed miserably. Thanks, Dartz!

Thank you so much. There are so many great add ons for Firefox that I have not even had a chance to look at them all. This sounds like it would be of great help.

I love this add-on, it's a heck of a lot easier than having to open up Photoshop each time you need a code.

One thing that irks me about this thing though, is when it shows a what part of the CSS is affecting it, yet that part doesn't show up in the CSS itself.

That makes me cringe...

My husband, the techie in the family, loves Firefox and uses it extensively. I will point this out to him; if we don't have it I'm sure we can use it. Thanx.

Thanks for this info. I'll be using it a lot, since I'm never happy with the way things look and I have spent way to many hours pouring over a css to try and get it just right. As much as I hate to admit it, more often than not I get confused while going through the code. Hopefully this will make things easier on me.
