Hello Jan. I am not now getting the same split screen but otherwise am no further forward with my task.
I have Firefox 3.6.28. Being on a dual processor power PC Mac G5, I can't upgrade to Chrome, hence great value of Firebug, which is version 1.7.3. My little objective is to remove the Google ad html text on the homepage, as I am transferring ownership of the account from the web person back to the organisation. If I click on 'view source', I can see all the html for the homepage, including the Google ads bit that I need to remove. However, when I go into Firebug to do so, it only shows the html down to the foot of the last word on the page, it doesn't go down as far as the Google ad code. The Firebug documentation seems to suggest that I can do that with the little arrow in the console. But it doesn't go any further down the page. (It was also switched off and thinks I should 'reload' it, whatever that involves, ditto the DOM tab). So basic problem one is that I can't get to the relevant code to edit it. Basic problem two is that there is not really an explanation for any of this that I can find in the program or documentation. I have looked at the Wiki Sebastian and at Rob's video but am none the wiser! I appreciate that you good folk are enthusiastic IT developers writing for other IT developers. For the weary layman just trying to change a bit of html, it is not so straightforward at all and the risk of crashing or dismembering my site is a lot higher. Any ideas for how one reaches the html code at the foot of the page would be much appreciated.
