a map of the page components?

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a map of how all the files called by a basic dolphin install are called?

or even any pointers to where I could find out how some of the many page components are nested, and which docs control them?

I was hoping that Dolphin wouldn't require me to alter too much code - but I now know that I'm wrong, even adding an additional div or two means loads of guesswork about where each part of a served page is generated - It would be really useful to add some class or id names to some elements so they can be styled.

I really don't mind having to do this - but attempting to work out the arcane inter-relationships between the many files is a bit daunting.

any help appreciated

thank

Thanks for that Sammie.

had a sneaky feeling that none existed.

Zend looks like fun too

And of course the free Firebug plugin for Firefox is a totally essential tool for anyone playing with layouts, fonts,colours, and much more.

BirdTribes. thanks for that - but tracing through php and js calls through firebug is a real pain.

Its ok for css stuff but doesn't register most of the typos in dolphins code - it even ignores style descriptions with typos in them.

I use CSS Edit - which is imho a much better tool - it even lets you save changes directly to the server for all 8 of the commonly called css files that dolphin uses - and lets you revert to milestones if you make a mess. and you can emulate almost every browser with it.

I was really just asking if anyone had even the vaguest schematic of how all the called files inter-relate.
