Proto-Menu and Firebug
Technical ·Sunday March 22, 2009 @ 05:23 EDT (link)
Installed Proto-Menu context menu for photo system. Ran into Firebug issue where it wouldn't display styles; it said I needed DOM Inspector, which was already installed—but didn't work directly either (nothing showed in the node list pane, even after entering sites; most menu items did nothing). Some advice from the review page helped: I uninstalled, removed C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components\inspector* and re-installed, and it worked. With that, I was able to track down the cause of the extra space on the Proto.Meny context menu: it was just default margin (highlighted in yellow in Firebug) and padding space (dark blue) for the <ul> tag; I set it to zero and set list-style: none and all's well. And it's high time to go to sleep.
