RUN, don't walk, down to http://www.westciv.com/xray/xray_more.html  
and download XRAY (free).

It's a javascript tool that has changed my life. You stick it on a  
bookmark, and when you run it, a window pops up, prompting you to  
click on any element on the web page. It then displays all its  
attributes, including all the information you need to find it in your  
CSS file

In less than an hour with this tool (and a nice CSS editor: "CSSEdit,"  
Mac-only, but there are great ones for Linux and Windoze, I'm sure) I  
managed to make a MediaWiki site look like a plain-Jane website.

Sorry I don't have THE answer, but this tool will answer your  
question, and many more into the future.
