Firebug - greyed out lines in HTML tab

[JohanR]

Hi,

I know this is slightly off-topic, but am sure others might learn from this.

Using Firebug to establish why a certain element does not show up in the browser, I see that that section is greyed in the Firebug HTML section.
I can expand it, the div's seem fine as far opening and closing elements.

Any tips on what other information I can look for in Firebug or how to use the greyed out area to try and see what is wrong?

It is an external JS menu that I am trying to use,
the aim is not only to fix this specific issue,
I am using this mainly as learning exercise to try and understand how everything fits together between CSS, JS, HTML and Nettalk etc...

thanks

Johan

it's grayed out because the <div> is "hidden" - ie not visible on the page.
So you can see the source, but usually it has a display property like
display:none
or something like that, which causes the Div to be invisible.
