[TriLUG] CSS question

[Glenn Hennessee]

You may find the Web Developer tool for Firefox from
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-developer/ useful
here. One of the features is to show the CSS that a particular item on
a page has assigned to it. After installing and restarting Firefox you
will have a new toolbar with a CSS entry. Under that is the View Style
Information. Select it and then click on your menu item that works and
a window at the bottom of the screen will open showing all the css
applying to it. Click on a menu item that doesn't work and view the
css for it. My guess you're going to find them different.
