It's written by the guy that developed HomeSite. Try it out with their free TopStyle Lite 2.0 (I think this might even be packaged with DW:MX), but if you are serious about CSS, spend the ~$80 for the latest version of TopStyle Pro (currently 3.1). It's awesome! The newest version even supports syntax highlighting for (x)html and several scripting languages (javaScript, PHP, ASP, maybe some others). It has a split screen view like in DW:MX where you can code in the top and see the results applied to a page of your choice in the preview screen below. It even supports server-side mappings, so you can display dynamic data within the program (another thing Dreamweaver doesn't do too well). Perhaps the biggest benefit of using TopStyle in any incarnation is the CSS property inspector. It gives you a FULL list of available CSS properties divided first by the level of backward compatibility you require (CSS1 or CSS2) and then by category (such as font, display, aural properties, etc.) > While I have your ear, maybe you can offer advice?

I'd be happy to take a stab at it, if you can post some code or a link. My general advice on floats is: "use extreme caution". They can be extremely buggy. Shoot me a link though and I'll see what I can do. -Stephen http://www.mechavox.com ____ � The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM � ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
