Hi, all. I found some comments on this in a 2005 thread, but wanted to ask again if there are any reliable wysiwyg css editors available. Is there anything that comes close to allowing you to lay out the design and then creates the CSS from that? Thanks--I really appreciate your advice and comments. Evan
GAAAARRHHH!!!! ****ing WYSIWYGS - Do yourself a HUGE FAVOR and get that ****ING CRAP OUT OF YOUR HEAD. WYSIWYG's produce bloated piss poor code that is 99% of the time not cross browser ready, and generally wastes your time learning the WRONG WAY OF DOING THINGS... especially since most of the time you are introducing ANOTHER rendering engine to the equation - like we don't have enough of those already. Learn to do it right or don't ****ing BOTHER. Seriously, how ****ING HARD is a text editor, alt-tab, F5? Sorry, pet peeve that's been poked once too often lately.
The above post is extremely opinionated. You can in fact have a decent WYSIWYG editor on your system. Personally I agree and I prefer the vi/nano/notepad methods of coding. However some people prefer the GUI based. IN this case I would advise for: FCKEditor It is extremely lightweight and easy to implement.
Hmm... just had the idea of either making a page that refreshes a page or programming a browser to refresh a page every XX seconds on one monitor and having vim text editor on other... I would not recommend a WYSIWYG at all. Look at the output on the actual browser, not some outdated rendering engine.
Thank you for your replies, everybody. I think you collectively answered my question, that you generally don't think there are any good wysiwyg css editors. Again, much obliged for the advice. Evan
Hi, Although these are Mozilla Firefox specific, they're still very useful! Consider downloading Web Developer or FireBug. They're both great tools. Web Developer: http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/60 Firebug: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843 Hope this helps, Mike.
