CSSVista: One Great CSS Editor!

February 5, 2007

I had a chance to play around with a new CSS editor i found online today. I added it to the Free Resources section of PureWebAnalytics for your viewing pleasure! I wanted an editor specifically for CSS editing. I’d tried the FireBug plugin which does allow you to edit CSS in a live environment but i felt as though something was missing until i found CSSVista (no relation to Windows Vista) and it answered some of my prayers.

CSSVista

So why do i think CSSVista is just the greatest thing since sliced bread? Well a few reasons actually…

  • It works on Windows - I am still using a windows environment for my development currently. I’ve been looking at getting a MAC… maybe in the coming year but for now its windows all the way
  • It’s FREE - You heard right. All you need to do is download and install it and you should be good to go!
  • It previews pages in both IE (Internet Explorer) and FireFox - I am sure they’ll release a boarder range of browsers as time moves forward but for now this is great!
  • It’s a Live Editor - There is nothing better then being able to see changes as you make them and this baby let’s you make them!

CSS is a great little language for positioning, style and creating order in web design. Having a tool like CSSVista available for free use is a great learning tool if you are just getting into CSS development. Trust me you won’t be disappointed by this software.

    Hi Jason,

    Yeah the Live edit way it does what it does is almost as good as MacRabbit’s CSSEdit 2… too bad they don’t make a windows version :)

    I have had a lot of problems with html coding on my site describing the menu. It takes up too much room and I believe is not se friendly. This might be the tool I am looking for. Thanks for the link to it.

    […] are a number of tools to help you debug issues with Internet Explorer around. I’ve written about CSSVista a few months ago, an application that allows you to see a split view of your webpage in FireFox and Internet […]
