Following advice from this forum, I looked for Firefox.

I downloaded Firefox 2 for developers & then installed the extension Web Developer 1.0.2.

I then tried adding XML Developer Toolbar 0.2.0.1 but it apparently could only be installed with Firefox up to 1.5

Which combination should I keep for easier style manipulation? This is the reason I am getting it in the first place. Do they both do the same job?

Thank you!

2.0 is still in developement, hence the 'for developers', so install 1.5, I can also recommend the extensions FireBug, Web Developer Toolbar, IE Tab, SourceEditor and MeasureIt for webdevelopement

Thank you!
Removed 2.0, installed 1.5 & all the extensions you recommended.

Now all I need is to find how to point to an element and be able to edit the code which controls its looks, then and there. Hope that option is hiding there somewhere Smiley Smiley Smiley

Perhaps I'm getting in over my head here.. Seems that what I want is simple, but apparently not so..

in the developer toolbar, select Outline -> Outline current element, if you now hover over an element the name of the element appears in the status bar, this is sometimes too long, use the DOM inspecter then

to edit css, in the developer toolbar click CSS -> edit CSS, then select the rsgallery.css tab and edit away and see live results, after that copy and past Cheesy

you can edit source code with the SourceEditor, goto (in the firefox menubar) Extra -> Start - Stop SourceEditor, then double click on the element you want to edit and there you go

Aha.. getting there. I saw some of those myself, but thanks for the positive push - I was about to give in.. Perhaps I should go to bed (01:00) & try again tomorrow.

Wishing you a happy day (night?)!
