Hello
I have a web site with the theme Display 2010  installed and the html and css is all over the place. Pages and sub pages. There are 5 page templetes alone. When I inspect a page with firebug I find divs where knowing the exact location of the origin for the file would help a great deal. But firebug does not tell you this presently. Is there an extension that will do this.
Fox example: Located in header.php or located in homepage.php and so on. It tells me what style sheet I'm looking at but does not give the exact name of any of the others. It shows all the paths for the page your viewing but it does not continue all the way back to the files original location.

Thanks Greg

Firebug works on the client side. So it does not contain information about where the code is located on the server side.

From your description I assume you're using WordPress. In order to see where the code comes from, the simplest solution would be to add comments within your template files.
