You might take a look at Aptana

http://www.aptana.com/
Aptana: The Web IDE

it's javascript focussed but does HTML and CSS.

I wasn't terribly excited by it - it seemed slow and clunky compared to 
Topstyle.


I'd be interested in any other alternatives too.

(of course you could always run Topstyle in a virtual machine!)

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I did wonder about running topstyle under 
crossover/wine on the Linux box. Don't think topstyle does 
code-collapsing though, which would be particularly handy sometimes in 
large xhtml docs.

Agreed, it's one thing that it doesn't do.  It does collapse CSS rules, 
if you turn it on in the options.


I've yet to find a CSS/XHTML editor that has all the frills I want and 
is also cross OS...


PSPad comes close, but I'm still using Topstyle rather than make the 
switch and it's windows only...


I really liked the look of this:
http://macrabbit.com/cssedit/

for the Mac, but it's Mac only, and one OSX upgrade away from being able 
to try it out on my Mac Mini!



have you tried SciTE ?
http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html
Scintilla and SciTE

with a bit of effort you might get it running on all three OS, but I'm 
not sure it has all the bells and whistles you're after.


hoping someone has some better answers.

 At present we are using a variety of editors/platforms, but I'm looking
 to try and standardise. Are there any recommendations for cross-platform
 css/xhtml editors out there.

jEdit -- http://jedit.org/ -- is the best editor I've ever used
and Java-based, hence cross-platform. My desktop dev machine runs
Linux, my laptop's a PowerBook, and I sometimes have to use Windows
at client locations -- and jEdit works great everywhere.

There's a Tidy plugin, but I don't know about the auto completion;
personally I don't use that kind of stuff. OTOH, jEdit is extensible
through macros and plugins, so it's probably worth a look.  :-)
