So what do you mean by a CSS editor? CSS is just plain text which you
can edit with just about anything, including TextEdit. Same goes for
HTML and JavaScript.

Hi,
Create a css file and save it as plain text in Text Edit
Then open the resulting css file with "Dashcode".
You have Dashcode installed on your Mac by default, I think.
You should be able to edit the source of your css.
I am not sure if this what you wanted, but I hope this helps.
Thanks for listening,

here is the assignment i have to do. I'm looking for an accessible
css editor and would love any help you could help with.
Assignment 2
Due September 14 at midnight. Upload your .html, .css, and image
files to your McUAS server space in a folder named 257assign1 (see
instructions here). Email me if you do not receive a McUAS
username and password from me by Tuesday, September 9.
The Scenario
The (fictional!) Springfield School District has decided that it
is time to start converting their outdated Web site into a
standards-based Web site. They are happy with their current
design, but they would like to have pages that validate as XHTML
transitional, and they want their styles to be controlled by an
external style sheet. Their layout is currently controlled by a
layout table, and they would like to start using CSS for layout
instead.
For this assignment, you will attempt to replicate the design of
their home page, while separating it into a page that validates as
XHTML transitional, and an external style sheet. They don't mind
if some of the spacing is a bit different, or if you change some
aspects of the design (colors, fonts and so on), but they would
like the layout to be the same (banner and photos across the top,
navigation down the left, content on the right, footer all the way
across the bottom).
Part 1
Convert the Springfield School District
(http://uashome.alaska.edu/~cjmckenna/fall08/cios257_200803/assignments/assign02files/springfield.html)
home page to XHTML 1.0 Transitional (view the source code and
copy-paste the html code into your text or html editor, and right
click to download the image files). The page must validate in the
W3C's validator: http://validator.w3.org/, and all traces of the
main layout table should be gone. Note: The photos that run across
the top are controlled by a nested layout table. Laying out this
nested table with CSS is a bigger challenge than laying out the
page with CSS. You may use a layout table if you'd like, or for an
extra challenge, you may attempt to use CSS to lay out the photos.
You are also welcome to change the way that these three photos are
incorporated into the page.
The parameters for this page are as follows:
Convert all code so that it complies with W3C standards for XHTML
transitional
Remove deprecated tags and any unnecessary presentational elements
Add classes and/or divs and ids where necessary to accommodate
your new styles.
Part 2
Create an external style sheet for your XHTML file, doing your
best to replicate the original layout of the Springfield School
District home page.
The parameters for the style sheet are as follows:
Use tag styles for styles would be universal throughout the Web site
Assign id styles to your divs to layout the page
Validate your CSS file here: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
Details
You may use any of your favorite Web authoring tools, but you are
responsible for the code it produces. You may, of course, also
write your code in a text editor such as Notepad. You are welcome
and encouraged to discuss this assignment and help each other out
in the discussion forum.
Please test your upload early in the week so that you won't run
into any last minute issues.
