On FireFox we've got the FireBug plug-in but from Safari 3 the built-in Web Inspector does the job pretty great too.
Do I have my Web Inspector enabled?
Here's what you have to do:
1. Open a random page in Safari and right click on the background
2. If it's enabled you'll see an item in the context menu called "Inspect Element
3. If you click on this the Web Inspector will open and you can see all the necessary information
Enable Web Inspector
So, your Web Inspector is not enabled. Do the following:
1. Open your terminal window
2. Write:
defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true
3. Re-launch Safari, and control-click somewhere on a web page.
4. You will see a new Inspect Element entry in the contextual menu.
5. Select it, and it will open up the Web Inspector and refocus to the node under your cursor.
Enjoy...
