Style Inspector

Style Inspector The style inspector displays all properties supported by the Active Style Definition. The value column to the right of each property includes a dropdown containing values that are appropriate for the active style definition. Properties with assigned values are sorted to the top and colored blue.

The image of the style inspector shown here displays an example of a shorthand property. Shorthand properties such as font accept multiple values and are expandable, showing you the "sub-properties" from which they're composed. For example, font is composed of font-weight, font-style, font-variant, font-size, line-height and font-family. When you choose a value for a "sub-property," the value will be added to that of the shorthand property.

Note: Most shorthand properties must follow a specific set of rules. For example, the font property requires font-size and font-family values to be considered valid. For details, please refer to the W3C CSS1 Recommendation.
