Firebug is every web developers friend
Jan 29th

Have you ever built an HTML page and styled it thinking it was going to look like the mock up you created just to view it on a web browser and find out that you have block elements going places you never thought possible. This is the point where the browser leaves you wondering “WHY IS THAT THING OVER THERE!”.
Luckily there is a tool out there that can help you see whats actually going on and that tool is called Firebug. Firebug is a plugin for Firefox and can help a ton when debugging or styling a webpage. It gives you a visual of whats going on by hovering over elements. I also use it to optimize my CSS. Sometimes you might have way to many statements telling your <p> tags to do the same thing. That can lead to a bunch of unnecessary code that increases the size of your css files.
Download and install Firebug. Trust me it helps.
