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.
