How to filter and show only applied CSS in Chrome Developer Tools (like Firebug in Firefox)

How can I see the line number for CSS style of selected element in Chrome Developer Tools?

It's the number at the end of the file name, following the : sign.

For example, layout9.css?nocached4:1 means the property is declared at line 1. This is typical of minified CSS files, which tend to be a single line.

The difference in the screenshot between Firebug and Chrome Developer Tools could be that Firebug is configured to use CSS source maps, so it is able to show the correct line numbers regardless. Check to see the Chrome Developer Tools has the setting "Enable CSS source maps" checked.

Extracting only the css used in a specific page

I've used Dust-Me Selectors before, which is a Firefox plugin. It's very easy to use and versatile as it maintains a combined list across a number of pages of which CSS values are used.

The downside is that I wasn't able to automate it to spider an entire site, so I ended up using it just on key pages/templates of my site. It is very useful nonetheless.

Contrary to the comment above Dust-Me Selectors 2.2 is compatible with Firefox 3.6 (I've just installed it).
