I was inspecting the element marked yellow in the HTML-Window of
FireBug, but the item identifier box (blue frame) is positioned in the
wrong position.

As the HTML inspected is within a frame structure, apparently the
frames' offset in the screen is not accounted for.

==========================================================================================

I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the FireBug
developers for their tremendous work...

For a web developer like me (I am doing shop designs, involving a lot
of CSS and Javascript work) FireBug is the best thing since the
invention of sliced bread!

I just can't imagine to live without FireBug any more. (Or things
would take at least10 times as long.)

Although there are attempts by the browser manufacturers now to mimic
FireBug, none of these solutions comes anyway near to FireBugs'
capabilities.

So, please, keep up your superb work, guys, and thx again!

Yes indeed, this is OK now. THX for the info.

There is, however, on (very small) thing I don't like about the 1.5
Version....

If you select in the CSS-panel the option to define CSS for the active
element, pre-1.5 versions werde directly in "edit"-mode.

In 1.5x you need an additional "click" to enter "edit"-mode
