I am watching asp.net tutorial in visual studio but I cannot find the Add Style Rule option
it occurs from right click on css
also I cannot drag and drop the stylesheet on my html document.
Open the CSS style sheet in the editor.
In the Styles menu, click Add Style Rule.
The Add Style Rule dialog box is displayed.
Note: The Styles menu appears when you open an external CSS style sheet for editing. On the Styles menu, the Build Style option becomes available when you put the cursor inside the braces for a style rule.
Select the style options that you want, and then click OK.
The style rule is added to the CSS style sheet.

The Stylesheet Toolbar for VS 2015 was not included. According to Microsoft, they are planning on bringing a more powerful experience back at sometime in the future. That is what I found when I was looking for the same thing.

how can i hide the overwritten styles in the webdeveloper tools?
I want to see just the used styles, like in firebug..

In the inspector you can use the computed tab as #gvee stated but it will show the aggregate of style properties for any particular element.
It will not show you the selector information/rules applied as it would normally if you are looking at the styles tab.
I know how to use Firebug to find and view the css files that set css on a page. For instance, this post shows what to do if Firebug tells you where css is coming from:
how do i get css source file path from firebug?
But sometimes firebug does not show the source css file. Why is that? If firebug does not show a source css file, then where is the css coming from?
element.style are inline styles for that element. What you have in your picture would be something like this:
<a style = "display:block; height:auto; left:176px; top:71px; width:920px"></a>
jQuery functions that modify the visual part of an element such as .css(), .fadeIn(), .offset() also apply css this way.
It may used by the inline style or Javascript or jquery plugins may also added inline style dynamically.
It's easy enough in Chrome Developer Tools to inspect an element and edit an existing CSS rule applying to that element but what if you want to create a whole new style rule?
In my case what I wanted to do was apply the following style rules:
br {display: none}
hr {margin-top: 20px}
font {font-size: 18px}
To the Principles behind the Agile Manifesto so that I could print it out on one A4 sheet of paper directly from the browser.
The official document on Chrome Developer Tools that I've already linked to does have a section on Adding New Rules and Properties but it's out of date and doesn't work like that in the latest version of Chrome.
There is now a dedicated button in the Styles pane for "New Style Rule". It looks like a plus (+):
This will create a new style block which will allow you to define the selector yourself:
This is handy for little amendments on the fly, however it doesn't work well for CSS3 media queries that need extra curly brackets, or for pasting whole sections of CSS in to test.
The solution to that is to first click on the + button to add a new style, then hit enter (or click in the adjacent whitespace).
This will now show a link to the inspector stylesheet called inspector-stylesheet:1
If you click that link, it opens a whole live stylesheet that you can write complex rules in, as well as paste a whole external stylesheet into for testing.
Try using CSS Brush, a chrome plugin to create CSS live. You can create selectors from the page. You can have the complete CSS path or filter it up to make a shorter one. The context-sensitive menu is quite helpful while editing CSS properties live. You can even switch on/off properties or selectors.
Is there a firefox addon or is there a way to use firebug such that you can select some text on the website and it will tell you what styles are being used for that bit of text?
At the moment if I select a bit of text that is styled using css imported from elsewhere I would have to go digging manually to find out what style is being used. Is there an easier way?
Both FireBug and Web Developer addons can be used for this.
Just right click it in Firebug, choose HTML, and in the right pane, select Style>Show User Agent CSS. This will show a list of CSS rules that are being applied on the selected element.
I use the Web Developer Toolbar in FireFox to test CSS-edits. I want to do the same in IE, and I can somewhat do that with IE8's Developer Tool.
However I can't add a style in Developer Tools, only edit existing styles - does any of you guys know of a way to edit the CSS like you can do with Chris Pedericks Web Developer Toolbar?
You can:
add a style attribute (right click the html tag and click add attribute (with the name style, and then edit the style attribute once its added)
Click the CSS tab, right click the empty space, and add a rule (this is like adding a line to your css file)
Adding to what Gabriel mentioned above.
For a quick addition to test and see the effect I do it a bit differently.
With the HTML tab selected choose the "Attributes" panel next to Style, Trace Styes and Layout.
Click the "+" button and begin typing the css style you would like to add. The new style attribute is added automatically in the DOM view panel.
Hope this helps.
I'm on my Mac right now, but I remember running into that.
When looking at the right side of the Developer Tool, you see a list of CSS styles. Above that you see a few 'tabs': Style, Trace Styles, Layout, Attributes. If I remember correctly you can't change them in the style tab. But you can change them in one of the other tabs. You might have to edit them through the style attribute.
You could try firebug lite but it's a little work to get it setup.
Follow following steps:
1. Click on Developers Tool
2. In Html select element for which you want to add css
3. Select attribute tab present on right side
4. Add Name and Value.
Check your style is applied to html element.
