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.

I had a question on how to find out which part of your code needs changing to adjust this "display:none !important" functionality which prevents the website to be responsive on mobile. When going under 767px content simply disappears and that condition triggers.
If I change it to "display:inline !important" that works but I've only done it in-browser and I can't find where to change it in the source files. Is there any methodology on finding this out? I've even used grep on all the files in the theme looking for keywords but I don't know where else to look. Also tried adding the changed code into the "Additional CSS" menu however with no success either.
The question is:
Is there any methodology to finding this [where the CSS lives] out?
You want to know the methodology to find the CSS. Let's walk through how I did it.
Step 1
The inspector gives you the location of the styles. Using your images, I marked the locations with the red boxes:
Notice that the style in question is located in (index):557. Where is that? It's not an external stylesheet, as with the style.css example. Rather, it's been added directly into the <head> and wrapped in <style>.
Using Dev Tools, look in the <head> of the DOM (in the HTML markup). You'll find it there.
Step 2:
Where do you find it? The method that I use is to look at the style declarations first in the <head>. Are there any comments to give you clues?
Next, I look at the actual style attributes. In this case, it's .tm_pb_builder. That is giving you a clue to the component that builds the CSS.
I did a Google search for that class attribute, like this: wordpress tm_pb_builder. That took me to GitHub and the Power Builder plugin from TemplateMonster.
Step 3
Now you know that the plugin Power Builder is the one responsible for adding that style into the <head>. You can then take a look at the respective page and explore how this page is built with this page builder.
That's my methodology.
You can add display:inline !important in the style.css of your child-theme, but it will only works if the plugin css file loads before it.
If the theme's css loads before plugin css, you can create a new css style and enqueue it at the very last end of the style enqueue.
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'se_41042975', 999);
function se_41042975(){
wp_enqueue_style('css-plugin-override', get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/css/custom_css.css');
}
Hope it helps!
I've made an global css that I used in two page (basic search and advance search page). I use it in advance search page, and the css script is running well. But when I move to basic search page (by click a link), the css not working. I used firebug to see what happen, and then I found that the css script is strike-through.
How can I solve it,.?
That basically means that your CSS property is being overriden by another CSS.
See where that property is defined, and you'll probably need to fix the order of the CSS inclusion on your web-page.
If you want to override the css from here means, all you have to do is set !important to your css.
like input.range{ width:73px !important}
Hope it will help you.
The width: 73px;rule is overridden. As you see the input.range is defined in cramp.css. Above you should find a rule that overrides it.
I am using Firebug to inspect the elements of a webpage. On the right hand of the page there is a "style" tab that list all the CSS styling for a given tag. These CSS styling are coming from a linked CSS page.
What I am looking to do is somehow copy a set of divs with the CSS hardcoded in the div. This way I can copy and paste the elements and have the exact same styling. Is this possible to do with Firebug or perhaps another tool?
I used IE9 to accomplish this.
Open a page where you want to grab a style in IE9
Press F12 to display Developer Toolbar
In the Developer Toolbar press Find and select "Select element by click"
Then go to "View" > "Source" and select "Element source with style"
I don't know about Firebug, but you could build a script to do it.
List the CSS you want to copy (every property you believe is required to make it portable) and then loop through in JS and getComputedStyle(). Then build a ; delimited list of property:value pairs, and assign it to the style attribute if your element and all children.
This doesn't look like an easy task - and you will no doubt run into problems.
I'm not sure what exactly you're trying to do here but are you trying to apply the same style to multiple elements (divs)? If so you should use a css class. So your html will be
<div class="myClass"></div>
<div class="myClass"></div>
<div class="myClass"></div>
and css will be
.myClass
{
height:whatever;
width:whatever;
etc
}
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 am using the AJAX Control Toolkit Popup Calendar Control in a datagrid. When it is in the footer it looks fine. When it is in the edit side of the datagrid it is inheriting the style from the datagrid and looks completely different (i.e. too big).
Is there a way to alter the CSS so that it does not inherit the style from the datagrid?
Open the page in firefox. However, first, download the firebug extension. Then, right click on the offending version and go down to inspect element.
Firebug is awesome because it let's you navigate the css of any element. You have two options here:
1) Assign the topmost element an css class and work it that way.
or
If that's not an option, you can use firebug to get the xpath to the offending element.
Xpaths look like body/table/tr/td/table/tr[2]
what you want to do with that in css is
body table tr td table tr {
/*css goes here */
}
Option 1 is definitely the better pick. Option 2 is more of a dirty way of getting things
done when things like asp.net doesn't let us have the fine grain of control we want.
It would be really awesome if you used a pastebin and posted the link to your rendered page's html.
It uses the style from the grid, because it's in it. If you want to change it's style, change the style of the control. What do you want it to do?
Here is the pastebin link:

I am using a stylesheet for the grid that I got from Matt Berseth's blog located here:

I am using a similar stylesheet for the calendar that I cannot find the link for anymore.
