Help needed!!!
Ivan | Sun, 2005-05-15 15:29I accidentaly overwritten a stylesheet.css file that I was working on. (Actually Stylemaster did it, without asking for permission to overwrite.)
Anyway. I have the site open in FF, so the sylesheet must be loaded into it somewhere. How can I resque that code? I tried to look into FF cache, but I can only find garbage.
If I view the stylesheet in FF it already showing the new one, not what I'm missing.
Please tell me I don't have to start from scratch!!!

Ivan...
Perhaps you can find one of your pages cached at Google or on the Wayback machine?
I think what you need is the Web Developer extension for Firefox. I'll bet you find TONs of uses for this little gem!

Thanks Phos, I have webdeveloper. Unfortunately the site was offline, so the file was overwritten on my hard drive. It's still open in FF. :)
Ivan, if I understand you correctly, I think you're SOL. Since FF is just rendering the linked css code, it's just "previewing" it for you. Kinda like linking an image in IdDesign...it isn't really there, it just makes you think it is. So if the remote file it is referencing is deleted or rewritten, there is really nothing that can be done. Sorry. I hope someone can prove me wrong on this one for your sake Ivan.
Thanks. I bit the bullet and redid the CSS. Actually it came out better the second time. Interesting how redoing makes you do the same thing simpler and better.
I hear ya.. many times I've had to re-create something only to like the second version better. Perhaps it's a good thing that we sometimes overwrite stuff or delete stuff, hehe.. a blessing in disguise.
Mind if I hijack this thread for a moment Ivan?
I've just tried to get this code working, but I get a little problem. It works fine and all, but I get an odd thing happening. The white bar thing shows, but it also creates two lines (check image attached). Anyone know what could possibly be wrong?
Did you check in FF? Could this be the IE 3px bug?
I know what's the problem.
What the script does, it adapts to the background colour of the page and so the box around it blends in. Now, where I have red, the grey comes on top, hence exposing the box. I guess it's not a tech. issue at all.
Sorry for the hijacking. :)
