    Hi.

    I have a question about how to edit specific elements in a profile page.

    Take this as an example;
    http://www.teenspot.com/profiles/Mumfie

    Scroll down and look at the box called "Specifics".
    Lets say I want to edit "Location" from Norway to Sweden by using CSS. What is the procedure I should follow?
    The page allows you to edit CSS in an advanced page editor.

    Should I search up the source for that page and do some modification by pasting a new code?

    css is not the way to go for that specific task. css is for changing the presentation, say change the border colors from red to green. Or to add a background image to the profile.
    If this is what you want to do, you are on the right track:

    -download and install the firebug plugin for firefox (http://getfirebug.com/).

    -reboot the browser.

    -push F12 to enable the firebug panel.

    -click the "inspect element" next to the bug button on the top left corner of the panel.

    - then click on the element on the webpage you want to edit.

    - In the left window of the firebug panel the html for that specific element will be highlighted.

    - In the right window of the firebug panel you will then see the css for that specific element.

    - Now you can use that information to create css in your advanced page editor.

    If you just want to change the content, I bet you can do that somewhere else in your profile settings :)

    What was the use explaining All those? It can be easily done from the Panel :) I mean, the USer panel or Admin panel or whatever :D

    Thanks.

    It's for learning purpose.
