Little CSS Tip

Just thought I'd share this for those of you that don't know, because there seem to be a lot of people who don't. I get a lot of other designers say to me, "I wish there was a way you could look at peoples external CSS on their websites so you can see how they managed some of their effects"

There is! I was under the impression that this was VERY common knowlege but perhaps I was wrong.

Well here it is for those of you who don't know:

(1) View the pages source
(2) Look in the head tag for the link tag containing the attribute 'type="text/css"'
(3) Copy the filename in the "href" attribute (Usually something along the lines of 'style.css' as you probably already know from personal use
(4) Then simply type the URL of the main page of the site in the address bar and add to the end the filename that you copied from the source! Voila!

Sorry if you've taken the time to read this and you already knew all that, but for the rest, I hope its a help!
