  1. yes you can do that. first click on VIEW > Source in your browser to open the page's source code. scroll down until you see either the <style> or <link> tags. if there is no link tag that means all of the styles are in the page itself between ,style> and </style> tags or in the body of the page like in paragraph tags etc. if this is the case you have to download the page it self. in windows notepad click file/save as to save the page. if there is a link tag get the filename from it for instance mystyles.css and add it on to the url in the addressbar of your browser and press enter on the keyboard. this will open the css file in microsoft front page (frontrage i call it). in there you can save it
  2. look at the source code of the page to determine the location of the css. Enter the url for that location in your browser. If you have a program that recognizes the CSS extension such as topstyle lite, it will open and display the css code.
  3. yup. check temp internet files. To open temp files safely open disk cleanup and select system drive. click ok. now from the list shown select Temp Internet Files and click view files. cancel disk cleanup. now check ur css file in these folders.
  4. Right-click the website and hit 'view source'. Look in the head section of the code for the CSS link. If it is a 'relative' url, add it to the main url for the site. Copy it into the browsers address window and hit 'Go'...and theres your CSS!
  5. right click on the page->view source. Loook for example: <link href="mbr.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> Let say you are now in www.xys.com, and you saw the view source. then to download www.xys.com/mbr.css type in browser It will ask to save in your computer Save it. Open with notepad Or wordpad
  6. You can download it (the css file) as mentioned above... and you can use that css file to integrate it in ur page and edit your page .. BUT you cant Edit the original site....
