I've got some responsive templates I'd like to change several entries in the CSS3 CSS files. Problem is I can't yet figure out what class refers to what item in the HTML file. Is there any way to import an existing CSS file into RLM so I can see what is what in it?
Mainly trying to reduce the height of containers.

Ryadia to inspect web pages and find out css styling rules use your browser console.
Most use f12 as the short cut key to get to developer tools.

I use Firefox Developer Addition but you can also use regular Firefox with Firebug extension.
These tools make it easy to find styling rules and do edits on them to see what works and then you can apply those edits to your actual css style sheet.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thank you very much for that Eric,
Ive used Firefox for years and never knew they put out a "developer edition". I'll give it try.

The developer addition runs faster then the standard version with firebug. It also has some enhanced tools for debugging scripts.

That's quite useful stuff Eric,
I instantly found the entry in a 1980 line CSS file that allowed me to resize a footer without dramas.
I greatly appreciate the advice. I can see now that I'll get really good use from this developer edition.
