Here is the best way to find out what is controlling what. Most browsers today have an inspect element. There is also a Firefox plugin firebug that allows you to inspect elements. I like the firebug so that is what I use. Go into your admin and turn off caching and compression for css. Now when you want to find the css for a particular element on the page, you do a right click and choose inspect element; or in the case of firebug, inspect element with firebug. This will show you the code and css. When you select elements in firebug or others, it will highlight it on the page; firebug uses blue. That allows you to move and select just the division or anchor, etc that you are interested in. You can even make changes in the css real time to see how it affects the page; no more changing, uploading, changing, uploading. When you are sure you can then make the changes in the stylesheet and upload it to your server. Note that some things are coded or calculated on the fly, they will be listed at the top as element.style and can not be controlled by changes in the style sheets.

Thanks, GG. :) I use firefly extensively. every day actually. But i still dont know which .css or html page or what not needs to be changed. I should have stated that when i asked 'where' i actually meant what .css sheet or html, etc. i cant find it. and does one rule ALL of the block elements? |
That is what I am trying to explain. You have to turn off css compression and caching in the admin. Then when you click on inspect element, it will tell you the stylesheet name and give you the line number; telling you exactly what you need to know. It will even indicate if a particular entry is overridden by other styles. It is the quickest and easiest way to find out what style and where is controlling what.
