I recommend Firefox's Firebug extension. You can just click on inspect and click on anything and it will tell you all the CSS and where it is.

Hi, I asked this before, but didn't really get any help. My problem is I can't find the target CSS object when I want to do something. Here is Garland. Say I want to change the property of the content area. You can only guess it is under the content.css but almost impossible to find where is what you are looking for. How do you deal with this?
Yes, I have WebDev > View Style Info enabled, but most of Drupal elements are too long to fit within the info bar.

Woa! Nice! Way cool! Thanks!
I have just taken delivery of a new theme and have spent last 10 days styling it so it's all just right. I use
- Firebug - Firefox Web Developer extension (especially View CSS: Ctrl - Shift - Y and Edit CSS: Ctrl - Shift - E)
would be lost without them and have never had a problem styling with them.

I installed firebug and the web dev stuff in firefox, but I don't know what to do with them, they don't seem to show what I want to know, or I can't figure out what it is showing me. (I also suspect firebug slows my firefox down drastically, but that might be totally unrelated.)
It might be a matter of what sort of interface you're used to - I have done no programming whatsoever, but use a lot of office and graphics apps for both mac and win. CSSedit feels more intuitive to me, and the difference between free and $29.95 is not exactly huge.
I think I'll end up using the firebug/web dev extensions on other people's pages for the "that's cool, how'd they do it?" stuff and CSSedit to modify my own sites.

If you click on the "inspect" tab, Firebug will show you all sorts of stuff, including what relevant CSS tags in what CSS files are affecting a given element. It's great for figuring out what's going on in a page you're trying to learn from or trying to debug.
A couple of other text editing apps I've used are TextWrangler (and BBEdit, which is a $ version with more features) and TextMate.
Also very very helpful is MAMP -- a ridiculously easy way to set up a local Drupal install so you can do all your work on your computer, making page refreshes almost instantaneous.
