TopStyle (www.bradsoft.com) - even the free 'lite' version 2.5 is much better than the Dreamweaver CSS interface and the 3.1 Pro version is even better, complete with validation tools built right in.
Best of all it integrates directly with Dreamweaver so when you double click on a css class in the CSS window it opens in TopStyle. Save you changes there and it immediately takes affect in the open Dreamweaver page. I usually have both programs open and move back and forth as needed. Cheryl D.

Have you ever used other style editors? I mean if one is shuffling from ap to another is there a better application for working style? Right now I'm hand coding it all but think I'll experiment with the built in CSS tool in DW-MX today. While I have your ear, maybe you can offer advice? I'm having a little trouble floating a div (big graphic in its own div) and getting text in the parent div to align vertically centered (middle). Any ideas?

I use DW:MX and am fanatical about CSS layouts and have pretty much learned to hang up trying to get an idea of what a CSS layout looks like in the preview window. As such, all I use the preview window for now is quickly finding blocks of code within a page. Hopefully in a future version, they'll fix their rendering of CSS, but until then, it's the old text editor alt-tab to browser routine. -Stephen http://www.mechavox.com Michael Milligan<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on Monday, July 14, 2003 10:29 AM, said: > I'm finally learning to position page elements with CSS and having a > lot of fun doing it.
