TOOLS - CSS: Professional Techniques for Modern Layout - page 10

One word of warning: When you're inspecting an element's CSS in the Style tab, you will not
see any pseudo-element-driven rules that af ect that element. As an example, if you have a
rule using the selector p:first-letter , that rule won't appear when you're inspecting a p
element. Pseudo-classes will show up, but pseudo-elements won't. h is can be especially
challenging if you're using a cleari x solution that involves generated content (see “Cleari xing,”
in Chapter 4, for more).
If you aren't using Firefox for development but want to get Firebug's essential goodness, go to
getfirebug.com/lite.html (shown in Figure 1-9) and follow the instructions for
enabling it in Internet Explorer, Opera, or Safari, as i ts your situation. You can link it into a
page that you're testing, or add it to your bookmark bar as a bookmarklet (which I
recommend).

h is version of Firebug isn't as full-featured as the Firefox extension—thus the “Lite”
moniker—but it's still quite powerful and useful.
