HI,
Not sure if I've turned something off..
When in an HTML document, can you click on a CSS class or ID and be taken directly to the corresponding definition in the CSS file ?

Right click on the style/class in the HTML file and select the entry you want under Related Styles in the context menu - it should then open the CSS file (if it isn't opened already) and ping to the chosen element.
In my opinion it is better to do things this way because double-clicking in an HTML file to fire off to the CSS file may not be what you want to happen when selecting text/styles/classes etc.

Re: Click to find CSS Definition
Yikes really,
But I have over 2000 styles in my CSS file - I don't want to have to select one from a great big list - I just want to go to the current definition.
Why can't I just have an option to goto the thing i'm clicking on ?
This isn't intuitive.
I've moved over to WeBuilder from TopStyle and there it's an option - I'm kind of regretting the move at the moment.
Just press CTRL and click a CSS definition and you are taken directly to it. Same with PHP and ASP include files.
It can't be that hard to get this functionality, surely.

Multiple styles might (and often do) apply to the same element. Even in your example - which one is the "current definition" - #centrecontainer in print.css or #centrecontainer in template.css?

Fair point - but then just show me a list when there is a choice.
If there isn't a choice - just take me to the style definition.
Why am I being shown lots of other styles that are nothing to do with the current selection?
In the example; the current style is called "masthead", why them am I shown lots of other unrelated styles.
I should be shown a list of one - "#masthead" - thus a list of one, just take me to it.
I can't see why the other styles are classed as related, other than they are # definitions.
