How would you find out the width of a element that is wrapped by 20 odd other elements, but the only fixed width I know is the main wrapper’s which is 800px. All child elements are generally blocks, floating or not, with different paddings and margins.
I don’t really need the answer to a specific case, I’m just wondering if there are tools or tricks to quickly calculate such things.
Thanks
EDIT: Sorry to forget, this is on an external site where I can not install any scripts or edit the css.
Firebug is your friend.
