Html + css editor

I am a java programmer who was told to design a jsp page using html + css.
i dont know css. is there a free WYSIWYG editor out there which takes into an account your css files and lets you use it somehow to make what you need.
keep in mind that when i look at the css style sheet i cant "imagine" how any of the stuffs in there would looks, and i dont know which divs must be inside other divs.

As long as you are able to get away with writing "dirty code" it isn't too much of a pain. When I am knocking a random page up I use 2 methods
1) Set the style for a tag using clas="..."
2) Set the style by adding the tag in your css
The first option allows you to tightly control what style gets applied where. The second option is for global setting of styles. By putting a <style> tag in your header you will find you are very quickly able to change and test your style changes. I am currently, at home, learning php with MySql served from apache. All I have to do is edit my css file in notepad, hit F5 on my browser and voil�, I can see the changes. I can develop my style sheets very quickly with this method. I prefer not to use graphic tools because of all the unnecessary tags they create.

HTML & CSS editing applications

I feel this is posted in the wrong place.
if it is, all apologies.
I am looking for an HTML, CSS editor for my mac.
I understand Adobe has Dreamweaver, which I would love, but I am trying to be cheap.
I currently use pixelmator rather than photoshop and I'm looking for something similar for webpage creating and editing.
If anyone could recommend so e applications I would greatly appreciate it!

I dont think Coda or Rapidweaver have what I am looking for.
Both seem like quality programs, but dont have the uses that Dreamweaver has that I need.
I guess what I am looking for is a WSYIWYG editor but an editor that will allow me to have a design editor and generate the code into a text editor for me -- Like dreamweaver.
I hope I wont have to resort to purchasing the 400 dollar app.
Help me if you can!

Blend for Visual Studio's HTML/CSS WYSIWYG editor only usable for Windows 8 apps, NOT for web apps?

Hi there,
In the process of learning Visual Studio (VS) and ASP.NET, I initially thought that I could use Blend for VS's seemingly great HTML/CSS WYSIWYG editor to visually design the HTML pages and CSS for a web app developped with VS, whether it be with ASP.NET MVC
or Django (using Python Tools for Visual Studio).
But now it dawned on me that Blend for VS seems to only be meant to design HTML/CSS for native Windows
8 apps, and not
web apps.
Can someone confirm that this is indeed the case?
Thanks a lot in advance for clarifying this point for me.
PS: Maybe this a dumb newbie question, but from the outside, it seems rather counter-intuitive to offer a top-notch tool for web
standards (HTML/CSS) edition (Blend for VS), all integrated with a top-notch tool for web development (VS) but prohibiting the web developer community to leverage the productivity gains of both
the former and the integration. This is especially puzzling given that the latest components of the ASP framework (MVC, SPA projects):
- Pushes for reliance on HTML elements and CSS instead of ASP elements and Skin files;
- VS apparently also does not provide a visual design page view for ASP.MVC projects, which is sure to make many development teams wary of migrating from web forms to MVC.

I believe this the case, but I'm not familiar with asp.net development. As you point out: html is html so you can edit and copy the code. That said, the Windows Store apps forums are specifically about writing Windows Store apps. For discussion
of writing ASp.net apps and the best tools to use for that please post in the asp.net development forums on
http://asp.net.

Need a CSS Editor?

Hi folks
I saw this alert today and decided to share. I know there are many of us that for whatever reason prefer third party tools. One of the tools I particularly find I cannot live without is SnagIt.
Today, a web site called Bits Du Jour is offering Top Style (a CSS editor) for half price. Normally it's $79 but today it's $39.

How can I use my Html/CSS Navigation bar to control an Edge Stage?

I have an HTML/CSS navigation bar set up in my EDGE created page. The Navbar is not created in edge. I would like to use these buttons to control the stage.
Inside the stage the main timeline has labels and stop actions every 1.5 secs to create a horizontally sliding site.
The labels are as follows: home, work, blog, profile, and contact. I can easily use a symbol created inside edge for example:
sym.play("home");
and animate a 6000px width symbol across my 1000px stage in 1000px increments.
I do not want to use a symbol inside of edge to do this because I cannot create the effect that the html/css navbar has on mouseover inside of edge.
So I am interested in knowing if I can use this bar to control my main timeline so I don't have to sacrifice design for functionality.
currently the link list is setup with the standard hyperlink. What code would I use to play the stage on click of the html navbar?
Many thanks to anyone who can help with this!
Here is the code for the navbar:
<div id="menu"><ul class="block-menu">
 <li><a href="/home" class="three-d">

Inserting HTML/CSS in a Tabbed Panel

I've been having trouble inserting HTML/CSS into a Tabbed Panel widget. In this case, the HTML/CSS is creating a text box with scroll bars (as described in an excellent workaround for getting scroll bars to work).
Has anyone else come across this situation?
Thanks!

I'm not seeing the same problem (the scrolling text box displays fine in the tabbed panel for me).
Does your HTML container fit within the content area of the panel?
Here are screenshots from Muse Design view:
and Preview in Browser (Firefox):
When you say it's not working, what exactly do you mean? What's happening?
Best regards,

HTML/CSS match to InDesign layout

Hello,
I have been given the task of taking an InDesign layout from CS6, and building it in HTML/CSS. The challenging part is that it is required to be 1:1 pixel perfect. When I open it in Google Chrome–which is going to be the standard browser it’s opened in–the font raggs differently.
When I overlay a PNG of the HTML site, and a PNG from the InDesign file it is no where close to pixel-perfect. The text wrapping differently is the main issue at hand. I have tried every CSS hack possible to adjust letter-spacing and word-spacing, I've also explored Google Fonts to attempt to get a better match.
Does anyone have any experience with a similar ask? In CS6 you can’t specify type pixels, I’m not sure it would matter if you could, because it seems that InDesign is using it’s own conversion for what it considers a pixel.
Please help!!!

Agreed, it's way too optimistic. InDesign is a typographic design application, under development since 1999. Already in its very first version, its type engine came "fully grown and armed, with a shout", supporting enough advanced features to squash all but the very stubbornest competition (I'm looking at you, TeX).
HTML/CSS, on the other hand, has had problems displaying "plain text" since its very beginnings. Only the very latest version of CSS finally addresses some typographic features (probably unnecessary to add, but anyway: with mixed results for different browsers).
" ..it seems that InDesign is using [its] own conversion for what it considers a pixel", you bet it does. After all, there was a web crowd that outright demanded "pixels" to be a measurement unit in InDesign. Adobe did a have a stab at adding pixels, and if one would ask me, they did it the wrong way. But that's no fault in InDesign. ID has its roots firmly in the "real world", that is, you can design a document with a precision right up to the wavelength of visible light; and ID will happily produce output for it. Your "pixel", on the other -- Darker -- Side, "is" not a real thing. It has no width or height. If you think it does, it goes only for your screen. You may say, "but if necesasry I can hold a magnifier to my screen and count the itty bitty lights!" What if you do so, and discover that your screen does not consist of square pixels, but round ones, or hexagonal, or elongated rectangles? And any measurement would only be value for just your screen. What about mine, your bosses', or your client's?
Following John's advice, here is a list of features you would need to switch off (as most are enabled by default) before you can even think of mimicking ID's sophisticated text engine in HTML:
ligatures
alternate characters
real small capitals
tabular or oldstyle figures
.. wait -- better switch off *all* OTF features
Paragraph composer. Use the dumb One Line At A Time And We'll See How Far We Get Composer.
Language based hyphenation.
Minimum/Optimal/Maximum Word Spacing (CSS must be using this internally, else it could not show justified text; however, I don't think you can set its parameters)
Letter Spacing and Glyph Scaling (although to be fair, these seem to be already off by default).
~16 decimals of precision for every object, line width, text size, spacing, et cetera
any real-world based measurement unit.
I probably forgot a few too.
--- add.
Advanced character/class kerning
Optical kerning (not enabled by default)
-- add2.
Balance Ragged Lines (off by default; but you can't use it)
Optical Margin Alignment (as above)
Align to Baseline grid
last line indent
Align to spine
justify last line (can only be achieved with span/div tricks)
tabs
about all internal hyphenation settings (CSS allows 'none', 'manual', and 'auto')
live text color outline (I may be mistaken, but I bet if it were possible literally everybody would be using it by now -- just like the dreaded "blink" tag did, before it was deemed illegal by federal law)
skewed text. I know, nobody with a grain of sense uses it in ID.[*] Still, you can't do it in CSS so I'm gonna list it anyway.
[*] Except myself, by the way. But I don't use it willy-nilly, only after exhausting all the good and the bad options; then yes, I go for the Ugly look.

Minimize the Html standard editor by default in Textarea

Hi,
I'm using Apex 3.0.1 for my application. I've used text area in the UI with the Html standard editor. I see that the page loads slowly coz the editor takes time to load with all the icons and stuff. Is there a way by which I can show the editor to be minimized on load? I think when required by clicking the 'arrow' icon the editor can be expanded. My application is more like a content management and so I'm using lots of text areas as this.
Can someone let me know if this is feasible to do and so if, how to achieve it?
Thanks,
gsachidh

There is no way of minimizing things in html.
Off course you can hide items with javascript for example, but that doesn't prevent it from loading, so your load time will not decrease.
If you put a condition on the item, it's not loaded at all so you save time.
Then there's the advanced way: Replace a normal text area with an Ajax call to a editor text area. But that's some more work and not standard apex.

HTML+CSS conversion issue with nth-child() selector

Why doesn't Adobe Acrobat XI Pro convert the below HTML code correctly when I try to create a PDF from it?
I've simplified the actual code significanly in order to present the problem in its simplest possible form. The code below uses the CSS "counter" feature to modify <li> elements according to a specific pattern. This code enumerates and indents every third line in the progression 1,4,7,10,13, ...
In Firefox and Internet Explorer, this code is displayed correctly, but Acrobat XI Pro ignores the lines with the "nth-child(3n+1)" selector which contain directives to hide line enumeration on non-matching lines and to indent text on matching lines. Acrobat XI Pro instead displays line enumeration for all lines and doesn't indent text on any line, as if the two directives containing the "nth-child(3n+1)" selector were not present at all.
Is this a bug or is it an unsupported feature in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
Whichever the case, any suggestions on a not too labourious alternative method to achieve the same result?
As things are, I've been forced to resort to using the so called "poor man's nth-child selector" workaround (abouthalf.com/development/poor-mans-nth-child-selector-for-ie-7-and-8/), which requires manual specification of each line's content with ever-increasing code extension/repetition. It gets the job done, but in a very messy and time-consuming way, and it only works with pre-defined static content. In terms of size, the difference is that of less than 1kb CSS file size when using the nth-child() selector vs more than 75kb CSS file size when using the above mentioned workaround, for a 250 line predefined stylesheet.
Surely there has to be a better way to deal with this issue? Support for a core HTML/CSS feature that generates ordered layout patterns for line enumeration, indentation, etc, would seem like a top priority feature to support in a product such as Adobe Acrobat Pro, given its focus on page layout...
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body { margin: 75px 90px; }
li { list-style-type: none; counter-increment: listing; }
li:after { content: counter(listing); float: right; margin-right: -2em; visibility: visible; }
li:not(:nth-child(3n+1)):after { visibility: hidden; }
li:nth-child(3n+1) { text-indent: 25px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<li>Line One</li>
<li>Line Two</li>
<li>Line Three</li>
<li>Line Four</li>
<li>Line Five</li>
<li>Line Six</li>
<li>Line Seven</li>
<li>Line Eight</li>
<li>Line Nine</li>
<li>Line Ten</li>
</body>
</html>

Any suggestion what the issue and/or solution might be?

It does already do this... unless you use manual updating. Under auto updating, tracks played on your iPod should up the count in iTunes on your next sync.

Error while using "HTML Standard Editor" item in "Array VPN"

Hi,
The "HTML Standard Editor" item is not displayed properly when the person is trying to enter data, when he is logged in using Array VPN. An error appears in the item box "Unable to Process request. The requested URL has an unsupported encoding.". Can this be resolved? This error is appearing in Firefox, and in IE the box appears but is not editable,i.e Nothing can be entered in the box.
Please assist me in this matter.
Thanks,
Vignesh

Vignesh,
I've worked with clients in the past that used VPN clients that attempted to cache and compress JavaScript code being sent to the browser. The problem was that the algorithms were terrible and ended up breaking the code.
Do you know if this is happening? If so, there's probably an option to turn it off. Take a look at the source code for the problematic page using the VPN connection and compare it to the source from a page without using VPN. If the page is really busy you can create a blank test page and add the item that's not working. That should make comparing the changes easier. Consider using a code comparison utility.
Regards,
Dan

is it posible to make nice and clean layout in flash and then convert it to html+css?

How to 'Publish' layout or extract the HTML/CSS?

OK, I created a nice layout, how do I "Publish" it -- i.e. extract the HTML/CSS so I can use it on an actual web site page? The "Reflow Overview" and other such Adobe "Getting Started" videos don't say and when I looked for such a thing as "Extract" or "Publish" or even "Upload" [ala Flash and/or Dreamweaver), all I found was "Save" and "Save As" which saves the Project as an arcane RFLW file.
Since I found no other question like this on the Forum, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm missing something obvious!

There was a recent update to a thread on this:
How to export Edge Reflow work file to Dreamweaver
Long story short, it will be easier to export code in the next release of Reflow. Until then you can get the HTML and CSS from the preview folder or you can get just the CSS from the code popover by clicking on the "<>" button on the bottom bar:
Hope that helps and thanks for using Reflow,
Chris

Installing Outlook 2007 HTML & CSS Validator in CS4

Hi everyone,
I have installed the Outlook 2007 HTML & CSS validator but when I go to look at the target browser list nothing appears.
The path that the tool was installed to is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS4\configuration\BrowserProfiles
Does anyone know if it will work with CS4? I have scoured Google and these forums to no avail.

The path is correct. Try restarting DW, then go to the Browser Compability window and see if it is there to enable in the Settings. If DW was running it will not appear until it is restarted.
