The proportion of visitors to our web pages who are using the Firefox browser has grown to more than 11%. (Microsoft's Internet Explorer's share of users is down over the last few months from 95% to about 78%.)
With that many Firefox users, at least some of you must be working on web pages. There is an absolutely terrific extension for Firefox written by Chris Pederick, called Web Developer. It adds to the browser a toolbar that has some breathtaking features. (Literally. I was sitting in a roomful of techies and semi-techies, and when they saw a screenshot of Web Developer's "Display ID & Class Details", half the people in the room gasped, or murmured to their neighbors.) You can use it to examine any web pages and play with any style sheet, as easily as working with your own pages, to see how designers do what they do.
Reminder: we have Firefox search plugins for the library's catalog at http://www.santafelibrary.org/firefoxplugin.html.
