hi I want to know which one is best css editor and which one you use? i use Top Style CSS editor and its great, any thing better then this?
Wow, I've never heard of a CSS editor. I just type it in a text document like the html. vi and gEdit, Kate if on hubby's machine.
i prefer to do it the hard-way via notepad, the main advantage being it takes like half a second to open up code in notepad.
I have only recently abandoned any kind of GUI for making sites and I plan to stay like that as I have to say you really get a lot more control and what you learn is the code itself as opposed to having to learn a program that will only outdated and require you to learn a new program. When you know the actual code then you only need to learn it once My opinion at least.
I also use Top Style lite, you actually have to code with it, but it shows all the available options, so it's a lot faster. The color selector is a great help too.
I wonder how you guys select border color, text color by using notepad? Its really a hard job to remember the cod of each color, so far i remember one which is , i think , for white is #fffff am i right notepad guys
... notepad or sth like that In combination with Photoshop or some other app (color picker?) capable of #RGB color specification.
I check my colours with the GIMP. Most of the colours I'm going to use are in my mock-up (image of the website in GIMP), so I just colour-selector whichever colour is on the mockup : )
I code all the rest of my page with PsPad, a glorified notepad. It contains a lot of useful stuff like the color picker and the ascii table. And TopStyle does contain a color picker.
I use BBEdit. It has macros for inserting code strings, color picker, font picker, built-in code validators, built-in FTP with bookmarks for editing directly on multiple servers, links to all browsers for previews, blah blah blah. I once edited a link in 60,000 pages in directories nested 5 levels deep with a single button click. Also serves as a front end for C++, Java, Cobol, etc.
I like to use notepad++ because it can recognize many different types of code. Anything from HTML, PHP, Pearl, to CSS , SQL, Python..etc. It uses different colors for different parts of code, which is really neat. you still have to type out your code it's not a GUI thing.
isntead of typing the color codes why not just type the color like red, does this not work aswell then wen u are done just use cntrl+f and change them all to the color codes
ctrl+f on my machine is Find (search) : ) Eh, the basic colours I already know out of my head. The ones I pick from Gimp are non-standard anyway (like #8dbec8 and #535459, two colours I'm using a lot on a particular site).
