1. Right click on the element on the page -> Select 'Inspect Element'
2. That should create a split frame on the bottom of the screen.
3. On the right hand section, it will show the CSS rules applied to that element, and if any have been superceded, they will be crossed out/striked through.

Not that this is a Firebug tutorial forum, but, how do I see this in
Firebug? I use Firebug because I am a Firefox user but I can't see
anything useful on the css tab. It shows me the css for a selected file,
but I can't get a view that shows me where an element is defined
multiple times across files in a single page.

Got a quick pointer?

Anyone have a tool that detects css name clashes? I did some poking
around the web and couldn't find anything immediately useful.

What I have is a situation where a particular element isn't displaying
correctly on a page. The page was an agglomeration of several pages,
each of which had a fully functioning example when run separately. When
I added all these stand alone elements to a single page, a couple of
elements no longer display correctly.

I will use a process of elimination to figure out which .css files has
the conflict but it would be pretty handy to have something that would
read through a series of css references on a page and tell you if you
have definitions in more than one file that could cause conflicts.
