Re: css name clashes

["Jeffrey Day" <Jeff.Day@xxxxxxxx>]

1. Right click on the element on the page -> Select 'Inspect Element'
2. That should create a split frame on the bottom of the screen.
3. On the right hand section, it will show the CSS rules applied to that element, and if any have been superceded, they will be crossed out/striked through.

Not that this is a Firebug tutorial forum, but, how do I see this in 
Firebug?  I use Firebug because I am a Firefox user but I can't see 
anything useful on the css tab. It shows me the css for a selected file, 
but I can't get a view that shows me where an element is defined 
multiple times across files in a single page.

Got a quick pointer?
