There are a lot of integrated IDEs for browsers popping up - try Googling for "browser IDE" or "browser integrated development environment" or the like. Some of the more sophisticated ones will allow you to mark up and style a complete web page right in the browser with real-time visual feedback.
However, for this particular purpose, I'd recommend keeping it simple and using Firefox's Firebug extension. Once installed, just navigate to the page you're developing, right-click the area of the page that you want to change and click "Inspect Element" in the context menu that appears. Firebug will list the CSS styles applied to the element in question and allow you to change them, and see those changes live.
I believe firebug is for debugging as the name sounds,and i decided to do the stuff manually.

I would like to hide the url display that appears in the browser when you hover over a link. I've read the other articles posted on this subject, but as I've tested the options, my functionality "breaks." I have some links that open in the same page, some open a new tab, and other prompt lightbox, pinterest and twitter widgets, and none of the solutions thus far seem to be a "one-size fits all" fix.
I've found a solution (I think), but development is not my forte, and I have no idea how to implement this. Is this something that someone can give me a step by step on how to make this change?

I understand your concern regarding your business.
The link you have shared is for WebView2.
Microsoft WebView2 is a developer control for embedding web content in applications. It allows developers to leverage the best of what the Microsoft Edge Chromium platform can offer and build seamless experiences for their users that incorporate web-based content.
It cannot help you hide the URLs on hover for the images on your site while visiting it through different browsers.
As informed by the other community member, it is a security feature in the browsers so users could know which site they are going to visit if they click the link. It is not recommended to modify it to hide it for security reasons.
further, you don't know that the customers visit your site using which browser. Every browser works differently and it is not possible to remove/ hide or disable that information from the browser side.
There are some code examples I found that use some JS code to achieve your requirement. You need to modify your site code. If you are not a developer then it could be difficult for you and you may break your site. So it is recommended to take help from your site developers.
Below are the helpful links.

The best thing would be to remove the unwanted information from the image links.
I have a existing parent website and I have to design a new website with similar theme and css styles.
I do not have access to the code of the parent website in which I can look into the styling.
Is there a way I can extract or replicate the css style of the website and use it for the new one. I just need to get the same theme going in the new website as well.
I came across that I could use some adobe tools for the same.
Can anyone give a brief idea of how this can be done or is there a generic procedure to be followed in replicating the style.
Replicate given design using your own, most appropriate appropriate markup and CSS rules—and have some sort of QA process that will help you find obvious inconsistencies with appearance and interaction.
Why I don't think you want to copy HTML and CSS from the parent site:
The parent website can change its style later in an unpredictable way. You will have to duplicate these changes. Since you mentioned you don't have the access to the codebase, you can't just diff their changes and apply them to your codebase.
Therefore I'd say it's best to ignore the original HTML and CSS, and just follow your eye and have a QA that will carefully test your work for consistency with the original.
(I had to do a similar thing once, and I think it usually isn't required to follow parent website pixel-perfect—just consistent enough to facilitate painless navigation for the end user.
In cases where pixel-perfect consistency is required it makes more sense to build the additional website off the same codebase as original. You weren't given that possibility, so I doubt that perfection will be requested from you.)
I think Your trying to shoot fly with cannon. All javascript/css/html code is at Your hand when viewing sources. No advanced tools are needed.
For better look on minified files You may try developers tools provided by modern browsers like chrome and firefox.
You may also just use beautification tools for css and html like http://www.codebeautifier.com to get nice, indented document.
Just google html or css beautification and find the one that fit Your needs in best way. Most of them are free online tools.
The css is probably minified. This question shows ways to unminify it so you can read it.
Browsers such as Firefox and Chrome have a built in Code Inspector tool that will show you which styles are applied to each item. Just right-click on a page element (for example, a paragraph or heading), and select "Inspect Element" from the menu that appears. A toolbar will appear at the bottom of your window. Use the arrow on the toolbar to select different elements to examine. Usually the left side of that tool shows the HTML for that element and the right-side shows the CSS styles applied and the line of the css they come from. You can get a similar tool in IE by pressing the F12 key.
If you have a text editor that allows regular expressions in the search (Dreamweaver has this if you have the Creative Suite) use this search term with the "regular expression" box checked: #[a-z|0-9]{3,6}. This will find all of the hexadecimal values for the colors you need. It says to find the pound sign followed by either three or six letters or numbers, which will mostly be hexadecimal values (e.g. #333 or #333333 for dark grey). It may also bring up some IDs and you can ignore those and keep searching. You'll also want to search for rgba because colors may be listed that way. Using this in conjunction with the browser's code inspector will help you figure out the colors that are used on different elements. Some things may have background images, so you'll need to use the code inspector to figure that out. The code inspector will also show you how much padding you'll need, widths, etc.
My company has purchased a third-party package with a built-in customer facing web portal, and I'm being tasked with integrating it into our site. Unfortunately, the web portal does not look great, and we have absolutely no control over how it looks (other than asking the vendor for changes - $$). In order to make it look somewhat like the rest of our site, I've stuck it in an iFrame (I'm not thrilled about this either) to put our logo and top navigation on it.
Please note, I am not attempting to manipulate the iframed page in any way.
Firefox handles this just fine, but in IE7 and IE8, not all of the CSS is being applied properly when the application's pages are displayed in the iFrame. Specifically, it should be applying a font-family of Arial to all TDs, but some text inside TDs are not being displayed as Arial.
Any ideas as to what is going on? This only happens when the pages are viewed inside the iFrame. Outside the iFrame, the CSS is applied as it should be. I'm guessing we're going to have to get our vendor to make some changes, but I'd love to know why the iFrame is impacting the page like this.
Thanks!
Have you opened the site you want to integrate as standalone in IE? Maybe it has nothing to do with the iframe, but with the ie itself. That would mean, that the system your company bought, doesn't provide browser-compability because of lack of CSS-IE-Fixes.
These are some debugging steps you can try:
Install the Firebug extension for Firefox. Right-click on an item that looks different and select "Inspect Element". The "Style" tab on the right will show you where styles are coming from.
Save the main document into disk (File->Save as->Web page (complete). Start stripping stuff from it until you get a small test-case you can post here. (Alternativelly, you can spider the site into disk with WinHTTrack.)
I have a project with several CSS files, each with many different settings. Every now and then I'll put an element on the page and it will appear unexpectedly, like an odd indentation, font color, hover behavior, etc. It's always a hunt to figure out exactly what CSS setting is causing the behavior. Is there any way to know exactly which CSS values are being applied to a given element?
Checkout 'FIREBUG' for firefox.... amazing add-on for web developers
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843
You can click on elements and it will show you the classes which are applied.
Even better is that you can directly change the css values and see the result in real time in the browser - makes designing much easier and quicker.
Get Firebug (for Firefox) and use the 'Inspect' capability - it will show you the effective CSS (and where it's coming from) for the highlighted element.
The best tool for this is Firebug, an extension for Firefox that shows you how and where an element is inheriting its current style.
In general you need to inspect the element.
In Firefox, install Firebug, right click on the element and choose "Inspect Element".
In Google Chrome, right click and choose "Inspect Element".
In IE8 press F12 or go to Tools -> "Developer Tools" then go Find -> "Select element by click" and click on the element.
Once you've inspected the element you'll see a list of the CSS rules that apply to it. You can also get the computed style.
Firebug is a big help to see what CSS is decorating an element.
As the above folks have mentioned Firebug is the greatest thing since sliced bread in checking out how css is effecting your site.
You can also use this little tool ALONG with firebug and then your CSS debugging gets much easier!
Web Developer Toolbar
Safari's new "Web Inspector" is as good as or better than Firebug for this. I stopped using Firebug now that Safari is smarter.
When viewing a webpage, I would like to copy a selection of text with its html formatting in one piece.
Meaning if some text is in bold and blue, I want the tool to create a style or class in the html which makes the text blue. Everything is contained in the produced html.
I have downloaded a similar plugin but the classes definitions are still external which means I have to get them separately. A non technical user would be at a loss here. I want the user to be able to copy and paste to a new webpage and that page just just works properly because the html copied contains everything.
This doesn't have to be a FF plugin. It could be IE or a Windows app.
I think you may be able to accomplish this by using the Firebug for Firefox extension. I often use it to export the content of a web page for use rebuilding a similar object. Is this still too technical? Firebug is a powerful, viable option that it is worth learning, I think.
I think the copy operation does this already. If I copy this page and paste it in a WYSIWYG editor such as TinyMCE (included in Wordpress), I get the formatting. For example the text of this page is (as pasted):
<h2>Firefox plugin to copy text with its formatting Intelligently?</h2>
The HTML markup is copied, but not external CSS. I suspect creating a piece of CSS that would apply to your standalone snippet of code the style it had within the DOM hierarchy would be horribly difficult if at all possible.
Try SnappySnippet, it's a Chrome extension that allows to copy html and all the related css style of an element. It integrates itself into the Chrome console. I hope this helps
This seems to be what you're looking for:

It creates a new "Pirate" tab in the developer tools that lets you grab the elements you want, including all associated CSS.
