Web Design and Development

October 23, 2009 [Insert Joke Here]

Gotta love (well, some of them) the Google Chrome themes. This one is Star Gazing. (yes, fwiw, that is “I’m MG Siegler” on YouTube open in one of my tabs)

Google Chrome’s Inspect Element (Right Click » Inspect Element) is one of my favorite tools for looking over web pages. I find it especially useful when hunting for problems in the CSS of a page.

Double click on a CSS class, id, web page contents, etc. and change it to see what affect the change has on the page!

What better way to test things?

You can look at which CSS rules are affecting which elements (notice the highlight in the image, and how you can see why the UL list is displayed inline and not as a list-item).

You can use the element hierarchy to construct nice CSS rules.

There’s all sorts of other stuff.
