If you're asking for help with a specific problem in this forum it is very, very helpful to post a working link. This way we can use firebug or other quick tools to diagnose the problem, rather than trying to piece together bits of code or work through it in our head.

Many members will avoid answering questions that are too difficult or time consuming to solve for reasons like this.

Thanks!

That's not what I mean - I mean if you have a problem that you're asking about, please post a link so we can see where the problem is occurring. It's hard to diagnose problems when you can't see the problem or the code.

Megan,

The only thing about Firebug's Mozilla bug finder is that usually it gives you a general area not in some cases of where the actual problem went wrong? You know like in a math operator or something in a external file sheet, header or client to server side script in my opinion.

Well, with CSS at least I can usually pinpoint the problem using Firebug. Sorry if I'm not understanding you. Firebug does allow you to change properties and experiment with solutions that might solve the problem.

Of course, this does not apply if the problem is in Internet Explorer, although there are tools there as well.

Megan,

I know the Firebug is a debugger and you can find the general area where it thinks it's located. The thing is that the cascading affect in css isn't too difficult overall. tThe wrong spacing or syntax with operaters or style sheets/headers can be an issue for most people because of the wide area between the affects of CSS on their page. I'm fortunately not one of these people. I'm saying that I.E is worse and Firebug is the best debugger on the free market as of right now. So, this is merely was I was pointing out to not make amatuers confused with debugging.
