My friend just introduced this to me -- Firebug. It's a very useful web development tool that can help us to learn the HTML, CSS, or even javascript when we browse the net. Not only that we can read the codes, but also edit, debug and monitor them live. Just click on the item on the web page, then the codes will be revealed. There, you can also edit the codes and see the changes. The tool also provides network monitoring feature. It helps us to break down the files, so that we can speed up the web page loading. By the way, it's an add-on to Firefox. You can just install it, and you can open the Firebug as a bar at the bottom of your browser, or even in a separate window. Download the free firebug: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843 Have you used this tool before? Do you like it?

Some people also use it to cheat on certain sites, one of them being lockerz, they've patched the trick though. For those who have more serious intentions it is absolutely a great tool too. :)

Some program where people have to gather points by answering one survey question a day. Those points can be converted to rewards such as ipods, scooters, that kind of objects. Some people changed the date using the tool we're talking about to get more points.

Hi kaka135, I am using this Firebug right now to do some tweak on my blog theme. As you mention above it is very useful and help me a lot to do some tweak on my template. It's save my time a lot to inspect the js, css, html element than I do manually edit it. This is one of the best firefox add on especially for web designer/developer.
