css editor
I use Dreamweaver MX, I think it’s the best program no matters if you’re a beginner or advanced user. However, I’ve heard also about HTML Kit. It’s free software and you can find it at http://www.chami.com/html-kit/. I’ve never used it but some of my colleagues said that it supports lots of languages (html, xhtml, php…). Offers code syntax highlighting and auto fill (it automatically completes the tags for you).
If you are coding in text-mode, I think Notepad++ (for Windows) or Gedit (Linux - GNOME Desktop) are the best options. If you want a preview, its still Dreamweaver 8.
I prefer using Visual Studio Interdeveloper and also any text editor like notepad or textpad to make my style sheets.
CSS Editor from Web Developer Firefox extension is the one I use.
TopStyle Lite from Bradsoft.com is an excellent free CSS editor. I use Notepad2 for HTML/XHTML/PHP
Because CSS is a fairly simple syntax, any text editor will do. I use notepad++ for the Syntax highlights. You dont need Dreamweaver for a preview of HTML pages, all you need is a browser. PHP is a different story 
.
.If you are new to CSS, TopStyle is good because for each attribute it prompts you with the available values.
Thanks for your options, I am goin to test each one.
As mariohs, I think the built in CSS editor in the extension "Webdeveloper" for Firefox is the best. It's awsome to see the page change as you're writing and changing the code.
It's really good for beginners too because seeing what you're doing in real time really helps!

You're right, it is good, but you wouldn't use that to write your CSS from scratch, as it's an "on-the-fly" editor.

If you create a page from scratch, then it would be a nice css editor. Of course you have the job to copy and paste into your "real" css file then save it. But I think that compensates the on-the-fly benefits of css editing
Very true 
Very true I guess
I use StyleMaster too and it is great.

is there a way in Style Master to arrange all styles in alphabetical order?
Hi there,
Before in time did I only use TopStyle Pro, but since that it seems like that it hasn't been updated for long time did I search for other alternatives.
I found following interesting programs that I've been used for a month now:
Rapid CSS 2006
WeBuilder 2006
Both programs are manufactored by Blumentals, and somehow does it seems to be the same program, just in diffrent levels and forces.
I can really recommand WeBuilder as it both contains the CSS part and the Html part, and even good for PHP and ASP.
I can't and I won't descripe all the functions here, but you can try it and make your own conclusion.
Cheers!

I know lots of people are say EditCSS or Web Developer are great for CSS in firefox - personally, I prefer Firebug. It also lets you update the CSS and see the changes immediately on the screen.
There's another great CSS feature it's got too. If you click on an element, it traces all the CSS that applies to the element, which lets you discover pretty quickly why something isn't turning out the way you'd expected. It is also great for tracking down issues with scripting and HTML too.

I use some color syntax highlighter (Vim, built ind editor in Krusader, ...). For interactive editing I also use Firebug extension (in most cases to find, which rule override others)
Using Dreamweaver is the best solution of all.
You can at the same time design and see the impact of CSS on a file.

Firebug is great for previewing your CSS. It shows how each tag is affected by all of your css so it is good to work out those little problems.

I have to agree with Steve - as I have also said in the thread http://www.frihost.com/forums/vp-615750.html&highlight=#615750, Notepad2 is a cracking, simple and easy to use editor. Easily customiseable too!
I wouldn't recommend Dreamweaver though. Some people rave about it but I find more often than not it mangles my advanced CSS styling horribly!
Hope this helps,
fuzzy
Dreamweaver as my main one.
I've tried different editors and right now TopStyle Lite for CSS and Notepad++ are the most for me.
Regarding Dreamveawer: it's designed to build web sites in WYSIWYG manner, but it concerns only (x)html as CSS support is limited. yes, it shows you a document with stylesheet applied, you can change it's properties but you can not see all the styles in the style sheet at work (actually you can, but you should create all the elements like div,h1-6,anchors and etc. manually and apply stylesheet rules for it), and with TopStyle you get stylesheet preview right away you write a new style rule.

I using about 3 editors for HTML coding i use EditPlus.
If You are begginer at css Coding try to use "Simple CSS" software or "TopStyle3" I think this 2 are the best for begginers and proffesionals, because they`ve got css functions database and You can add everything from side panel.
