Join Tom Geller for an in-depth discussion in this video Using Firebug and other theming tools, part of Advanced Drupal 7.
Before you start theming, you're going to need some tools.…While you can use any browser, Firefox has come out ahead as the…developers' choice.…There are several tools available for it, most notably one called Firebug.…This video quickly shows you how to get it working and gives hints on…dissecting Drupal CSS.…Now it's only an introduction.…To go further, lynda.com has a course specifically about Drupal theming and it…has several about CSS.…I recommend those if you want to go further.…We already have Firefox installed as you can see.…To get it, go to getfirefox.com.…
Since we already have it, we'll now install Firebug, which is an extension to Firefox.…Its installation process is different from that of other software;…it all takes place within Firefox's environment as you'll see.…One good thing about it is that you don't need the computer's root password to install it.…So you remember how the URL for Firefox was getfirefox.com; it's easy to…remember Firebug's URL, because it's getfirebug.com, and then just click Install.…
