CSS Editor?

Have any of you run across CSSEdit?
http://macrabbit.com/cssedit/
It appears to be a handy style sheet editor.
It costs about 30 Euros.
I've asked them how much it costs in US dollars but no
response yet.
Are there others that you might recommend?
It seems hands-down better than BBedit v9 or DW CS3.
I think it is Mac only. Not sure.

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.

CSS Editor in Eclipse hijacked/disabled

Flex sets itself as the default CSS editor in Eclipse, whihc
is fine.. except that I prefer the WST CSS editor that is installed
with the WST toolkit that you can get from Eclipse.org.
So.. going to "Preferences>General>Editors>File
Associations" I can set the default CSS editor back to the WST CSS
editor, and even delete the Flex CSS editor - but doing that just
gives me "plain text" css files (black font, no code completion,
Outline View etc).
But - if I go into "Help>Manage Configuration" and DISABLE
Flex - I get my CSS editor back!
SO - does anyone know how I can have Flex ENABELD *and* have
my referred CSS editor..?
Cheers,
Sean

I don't know if this is the problem, but Eclipse remembers
the last
editor used to open a file. So, if you have a file called
foo.css and
open it with the Flex CSS editor, that file will open with
the Flex CSS
editor the next time you open it even if you have changed the
file
association for .css files. But files that you haven't opened
before
should open with the editor specified by the fila
associations.
Here's something to try: Right-click on your CSS file and
choose the WST
editor from the "Open With" submenu. That file should then
open with the
WST editor on subsequent openings.

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.

[ER] CSS editor, when used in skin context, shouldn't be so warning happy

Hello,
I think the CSS editor should be able to detect that it's used as a skin (by scanning trinidad-skins.xml) and adjust its validation rules accordingly. Currently, most basic skins make JDeveloper whinne a lot, mostly because of an expected identifier error from the :: syntax.
Thanks,
~ Simon

+1 from me too
The good news is that the build I am bug hunting tonight contains a new feature, which is syntax help and code completion for the CSS editor that includes the skin selectors of ADF Faces RC and Trinidad (as they are the same (at least almost))
However, I am not sure this feature will make it into TP4, so be prepared that you have to live with that until we go production ;-)
thanks

CSS editor code hinting problem

I have installed ColdFusion Builder (trial version) togeter with Flash Builder, and I experience that code hinting in the CSS editor does not work. If I edit the CSS file, the changes is not updated when I change to browser view. (It works when I usen an external browser). I have tried to install CFB onto a existing Flash Builder standalone, and also tried to Install Flash Builder and CFB onto an Eclipse Helios installation. The CSS editor does not work in any case.
Somebode have a solution to this problem? I have been in contact with another person that have the same problem. He have solved it temporarily by installing Flash Builder and CFB in two seperate stand alone intsallations.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks a lot for your help!
It works also for me....strange as I didn't find the way to chnage it back to the old way. Probable I have to get use to the new way, however space was more convinient than tab.
Best regards,

Css editor bug in cs6

This is a bug within the application code
1. double click on a css tag to bring up the editor window
2. in dreamweaver cs5 you could double click in a field to edit the content, such as margins or padding
3. In CS6, you have to first click in the field, it highlights with an outline, then you can double click to highlight the contents
This adds another un-necessary click to the workflow, an annoying bug when editing code all day
Has anyone else noticed this?
I edit the css files directly some of the time but sometimes it's nice to use the editor. I've files a bug report so hopefully this will be solved.
p.s. what a shame too that adobe STILL have old old old icons in Dreamweaver cs6 such as the bubble shapes and also no dark ui!

Hi there, yes same here, that all works off me too.
It's when the editor is open... The actual fields such as font size, etc or in another section such as padding, margin etc where you enter the amount.
So for example if you have 50 top margin and 20 right and want to use the editor to change 50 to 70 you have to click in the field where 70 is then double click to select the 70.
Normally in every app or even on the Internet you can simply double click to select. You dont need to click then double click. Try it, you'll see what I mean
Of course, I do like you much of the time but then there are times when I'll use the editor.

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.

Stand alone CSS editor for WDA

im at a client who doesnt have a portal.
So there is no access to the portal theme editor.
When using WDA direct to a NW 7.11 , the customer would like to brand the output.
A few years back I recall some stand alone theme editor.
Eclipse add on ? May have been an SAP only internal tool. ?
Is there a customer available version ?
How best to go about CSS editing for WDA ?

Did you first search SDN before posting your thread? This is a very common question and yes there is a standalone theme editor. In fact one of the sticky threads in the forum discusses it.
NWDS Theme Editor - Enhancement proposals
You can download the Theme Editor and the How To Guide from this page on SDN:

BUG CSS Editor z-index property

I use JDeveloper 10.1.3.1 to edit CSS.
span.dialog { z-index: 100; } is underlined in red, although span.dialog { z-index: 99; } and span.dialog { z-index: 101; } are OK.

Hi,
thanks. I filed a bug with very low priority because a) a work around exists (to set it to 101) and b) at runtime it behaves as designed

CSS Designer in Depth | Creative Cloud for Web | Adobe TV

Get an in-depth look at the powerful new CSS Designer tools in Dreamweaver CC. Intuitive visual editing tools help you generate clean, web-standard code and quickly apply CSS properties like gradients and box shadows. You can see the effects on your designs immediately, eliminating tedious tweaking and the need to go back and forth to Code view.
http://adobe.ly/ZSeWkr

The new CSS Designer feature in Dreamweaver CC is a very nice addition to the interface’s workflow. However, it’s not best for all workflows, whereby there should still be a non-assisted CSS editor option available, like in CS6, “without” all the new visual designer tools.
In CS6’s CSS properties editor you can quickly glance at the currently selected element’s CSS properties and directly edit the actual property values in a column format making this a very precise and straightforward workflow process.
For me, the ability to quickly edit CSS properties by clicking on respective elements in the design view editor is the biggest advantage and real power for using Dreamweaver over notepad type editors. Without this option (when working in split mode), it requires switching back and forth between different style-sheets and code view.
Though I really like everything else I’ve seen so far, in this latest version, this seemingly small feature restriction will considerably slow down my overall typical workflow process in most cases. So, until a non-assisted CSS properties editor option is available, I’ll continue using CS6. Please, please fix this soon! Hopefully this is only a short-term oversight and resolved in a very near future update.

Problem with .css for Spry menu

Hi,
I am having a problem with the Spry menu I have created and edited. All looks great in the Design view of Photoshop however under the Live view or opened using a browser the menu reverts to a list of hyperlinks!
I have checked the .css link but when using Firefox CSS editor the CSS file for the menu is simply blank?
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
Ozan

Your SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css needs to be within your SpryAssets folder, which is where it would have been put automatically when you inserted the SpryMenuBar. You can move it back in there using the Files Panel.
Here is what the file structure needs to look like:
SpryAssets
SpryMenuBar.js
SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
cssstyletemplate.css
index.html (or whatever the name of your page is)
Hierarchally, the top level of your root folder will show folders for SpryAssets and css and the html pages will be on the same level.
The Spry assets themselves will be down a level IN the SpryAssets folder, as the styletemplate.css file will be down a level IN the css folder.
In the head of the document, you will have
     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/styletemplate.css" />
     <script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>
     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" />
At the end, remove the slash before Spry inside the imgDown and imgRight sections:
     <script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Compare these with your files and file structure and correct any small typos, and they should be correctly linked.

The meaning of CSS life...

The one good thing: I finished my first fee-for-service CSS website done in Dreamweaver CS5. It is only four pages and is ugly beyong words and displays wildly in various browsers. The customers are naive enough to have settled for it but their check hasn't arrived yet. We shall see.
Now the test...I am a school webmaster and my behemoth, changes every week, 50 page sites are coming due. Oh dear! Just a word to you Adobe folks: You are really nice but you do know, don't you, that educators all over the country have begun cursing you every day since the advent of CS5 that offered us few legacy options? NO ONE in my county school webmaster group can work CSS or CS5. Deciding that this is an undertaking for the young, we convened our brightest tech students, the ones who understand everything. They couldn't work the new CS5/CSS editor either. I've been told that every school in the county has dropped web design from tech classes because of this. Just thought Adobe would like to know. Microsoft Word is the industry standard in its category, just like Dreamweaver. I have a master user's certificate in Word and can make it do great things. But my 75 year-old father can use it straight of the box, too.
Us all being partners in crime and whatnot, I asked repeatedly on this forum for a usable alternative to CS5, which is no longer a viable tool for the "casual user," as one recent poster pointed out. That's okay. I'm happy not to be a pro. But only AFTER my people saw no option other than dropping $800 on the education version of Creative Suite am I told about Adobe Contribute. Can that really simplify web design? Maybe I need to return this spanking new copy of CS5. More information would be helpful. Until I read Nancy's posts earlier, I had never heard of Contribute.
That said, damned straight on learning the only game in town, I still continue to struggle with CS5/CSS and will post my questions....
Question 1 - I uploaded the first five pages of my large site. Four of them did not work.
Please view: http://www.alex.k12.ok.us/pto/ptoindex.html. The content div on this page has suddenly gone black. I have studiously reviewed the code and have no idea what's wrong. I rebuilt the page from template three times with the same result. Funny, Adobe Browser labs shows the site without the black.
Question 2 - Take a look at this page: http://www.alex.k12.ok.us/board/boardindex.html. I have begun finding ways to convince myself that I am working with tabular data in order to justify using a table. CS5 still allows that, you know. The buttons are just harder to get to. At any rate, the sixth paragraph in the table displays centered in a much larger, bolded font. It does not display this way in Firefox. Again, I reviewed the code with a microscope. I can see no difference between this paragraph and others. But there are secrets in this CSS life that I do not understand.
Question 3 - A much more generic question only posed because I am using CS5 to create my pages. I routinely validate my pages using the W3C html and CSS validators. My CSS has validated 100% of the time. The HTML validator, however, returns errors, warnings and weather forecasts (a joke) that I cannot reference in my CS5 code. The line numbers are incorrect and, when I finally find the alleged error, it's NOT THERE. The most common error I get notes that I have failed to close a paragraph thingy. You know....</p>. But when I inspect the code, I find all the necessary structure present. Deciding I wasn't consuming sufficient mind-altering substances, I tried doing more with the same result. What does this mean?
Question 4 - I have enough experience with CSS now to know that inserting text in my template causes huge problems secondary only to inserting images. But i have to have both, and often. Is is best to just drop an image into, say, the content div, or should I put the pic in a div of its own? Most of my pictures have captions, so I am thinking the only way I can make a caption under a photo is to create a div to hold the picture and the caption. Is there some big secret about this as well?
Thanks for your time.

Wow..
And posted 1 hour ago, 9 viewers and no one concurring except me. Well, I have to congratulate you (I think), you're farther along the CSS road than me, and I started in 1995 with MS Frontpage, back around the time Macromedia owned DW. Does anyone remember going to their site/forums?
I know Cascading is the way to go, I just have no clue, and it seems a near code fiasco, but then I don't know anything about coding so it's all alien. If anyone can believe, I'm still laying a page or two out with tables. I just purely don't have the time to learn CSS. But maybe it's not all that difficult? Well, I haven't started it yet to know I suppose, just seems that it is. Now you say a legacy CSS is somehow not supported, seems that would imply all of those methods/tricks would then no longer be applicable? Wow, just makes me think of MS operating systems. I first started with DOS 3.1, then loaded up what was it, 14 or so 1.44 floppy disks when Win95 came around, then there was NT, I actually have the joke Vista64 running on a machine too.
I understand things move on in software, but if my interpretation is that previous CSS is no longer applicable, for us/those where learning any of it is a challenge, can see the futility in it.. For those of you 13, eating Oreos with milk and already making or about to bring in 10K (or 100K+) a year, good for you. I don't see the majority of people being so determined. And as people get older, they have other responsibilities to attend to. Perhaps software is the next frontier as far as personal computing and the Internet are concerned. AI (artificial intelligence) could greatly assist with this, so as hardware (memory) increases in performance, achieving near parity with the CPU getting cored out, and in the not so distant future when we all have little supercomputers as a result, with Berkeley helping to solve the multicore programming/application issue (that MS awarded 20M to solve, for the future of the OS), then we can most likely look forward to having greater assistance with these types of processes.
Coding.. For us that don't devote so much time to it, it is rather limiting (to our agenda). And the thing is, we really would use these programs more if it was easier, I think I speak for many of us. But if the learning curve goes from slope to vertical, or a series of plateaus, it seems nearly insurmountable at times. And then the browser compatibility issue on top of it all.
Wow. I can say I'm back for one last shot at it now, but if I don't get it this time, I'm outsourcing it. It's been nice, but I simply don't have hours to weeks to invest on a few web pages. And to master it all, I simply don't see it happening, I'm realistic about it. And may I add, I'm not one that is confused by the TV remote or a digital watch, I'm actually very technically oriented, extremely - just haven't been that interested in conquering code (obviously no CS degree, but apparently even those students are cutting corners).
I hear you, and at least I, concur.
Lastly, I'd like to add. Recently while at a bookstore, I picked up one of the computer "Web" editing magazines (I'll read nearly anything, except this - knowing..), mostly because I'm back for another swing at the plate, but also because promimently on the cover was something to the effect "so many tricks explained" etc.. I looked at nearly every article, and don't think I could have done one, they even provided a CD, really? It just seems like a puzzle, and the people that write the articles all looked undernourished, just an observation. Is that really what it takes, so much time and devotion? I wonder if one of them actually comes here and would care to comment on the required time investment (we seem to have time-to-complete figures for SATs etc., why not for articles on this subject matter too? I'd like to know what I'm getting into and how long until I'm up to speed, instead of staring into a void, which is what it nearly seems like. I guess I need to have a conversation with an East Indian Java Guru. Has anyone ever heard an EI programmer even say the word "Java", you just know they get it - I'm in Silicon Valley, happens all the time. Also pass by Adobe HQ all the time and before they even had the buildings (cool power wind vanes too btw, interesting little crosswalk between the buildings, always look for someone in there, like a hamster tunnel thing, funny never see anyone, there was relevance to me stating this) {think I need another parenthesis here, see - wouldn't be good at code}, moving/running on.) Oh, and if anyone needs programming answers, at least here anyway, visit a local Mediterranean restaurant with good falafels, easily find a programmer to answer your questions, no joke). I thought, well, it's good they have their email addresses, maybe I'll contact them and contribute to their 100K a year, but then I thought (seriously), could I even copy and paste the code correctly? Wow.. Is there not a better way, I wonder if Ray Kurtzweil could project out when web editing programs (and the Creators) will benefit from the Singularity theory.
(spell checker would be nice here)
Thx

Design view in DreamWeaver CS3 disabled for CSS & Java

I currently use Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, and only some files have the option to view them in code AND in design view. This works for most files (HTML, PHP, etc). However, anytime I create a new CSS or Java file, the design view is disabled:
I have already tried the two other solutions I've found in this forum.
First I tried Preferences > File Types / Editors, and I deleted all of the file types in the "Open in Code View" menu (pictured below).
I restarted DW, and it didn't work.
Then I tried several steps to re-create the Configuration folder (which it did, but the problem remained) listed here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401118.html.
Still nothing. HTML, PHP, ASP and all other files have the Design View and Split View available, but CSS and Java do not. I would really like to use DW to start editing CSS, but do not know it well enough to write in code and therefore could really use that handy Design View so I can learn as I tweak it.
Any help much appreciated - thanks!

HTML, PHP, ASP and all other files have the Design View and Split View available, but CSS and Java do not.
That's correct. That's as it should be.
A CSS file contains a bunch of text only CSS rules. Javascript is text-only script. There's no layout to see for CSS and JS files in Design and Split View so they're disabled.
Files with layout e.g. .htm, .php have Design View because they're web pages with a layout which can be viewed.
I would really like to use DW to start editing CSS, but do not know it well enough to write in code and therefore could really use that handy Design View so I can learn as I tweak it.
Open any .htm or .php (or other) web page and its associated CSS file.
Then tweak the CSS either via Code View in the CSS file, or using the DW CSS Editor when viewing the .htm/.php file, and see the formatting changes applied in Design View in the .htm (or .php) file.
Do not rely on DW's Design View as an absolute reference for pixel perfect accuracy. It will always be an approximation only to assist visually oriented web designers while editing.
Always test all CSS rules and edits in a range of browsers. Browser support for CSS rules and effects varies. Not all browsers support everything on offer in CSS1, CSS2 and CSS3.

Show CSS comments in CSS Style list?

Hi,
I've been using Dreamweaver for a numbef of years, but one small feature is forcing me to move away to newer CSS editors. "I need the CSS Style list to show comments from my style sheet". Is this possible?
Put simply, some of my CSS stylesheets are huge, and I organise them by having comments to separate out the various types of selectors.
In order for me to navigate my styles, it would help me immensely if the CSS Style list also included comments, so I could quickly see which section was which.
Is this something which I've missed?
Thanks,
Chris.l

Hello,
I believe I've had a similar problem over the last day or so (wasted 3 hours).
I create a "standard" page with all my basic stuff in it.
Then create two sections with comments like this:




So this way, I can just go quickly to that section of the <header> or <body> and copy and paste code.
(I'm not at the level of templates yet)
After three hours of trying to get a table to work, and comparing it to other stuff I've written
I said to myself "I wonder if comments are allowed in the <style> section".
The comments were deleted and everything worked fine.
Based on the above posts, I'm guessing that is a known feature?
Is it correct that comments can be put in the <head> section, but not in the <head><style> section?
Again, I thank you in advance.
