Ditto the FF Web Dev Toolbar  You would be especially interested in the 
outlining of elements, "Display ID and Class Details" and "View Style 
Information" options.

Others will chime in, but the web developer toolbar for firefox can do
this sort of (outline current element-as you mouseover), as well as lots
of other cool things.
