How can I see the CSS-code of a website?

I don't want to steal the design or layout, but I just want to understand how it's made...

Thank you

You can go to the webpage you want to see the css for, and then select the view source option in your browser. Then use the find command and search for ".css". It should show you the file that the browser references for that style sheet. Copy that file name, and enter that into your browser address window. Usually the css file will be in the high directory of the site, so if it's www.mycss.com, the file should be www.mycss.com/stylesheet.css. The browser will show the sheet and you're good.

if you view the source of the page, you will see a something in the head of the document that will will look something like this....

<link rel="stylesheet" href="includes/style.css" type="text/css" />

probably wont be exactly that, but something similar so if you are going somewhere like ezadmintools.com, and you se that, you will add "includes/style.css" after that .com/ (without the quotes obviously) and you will get something like this. http://www.ezadmintools.com/includes/style.css to put in the url. that will bring the css file to dreamweaver if you are using IE, or if you are in FF, then it will pull up a new window so that you can view the css. :D

I was just going to suggest that! It is an amazing extension and is the most effective way to check out CSS files.

well how to do the same with .swf files? can we save a swf? sometimes they need additional linked files (swf's?) to run.

All you do is right click on the page and hit view source, then do a notepad search for css.

firefox is the easiest way to view the css
