hey ppl... i was looking for a free css editor, as i am a complete n00b in this subject, and i was wondering if you had any suggestions. I know there are a few out there, but i don't want to download each one to try them out. Or are they not worth it and css should be done by hand? thanks ppl edit- Ive tried simple css and thought that the help was really poor. oh yea and do those editors do postioning as well?

i suggest to get a better graps of css is download templates that hass css in them. most free css programs just o stuff like scroll bar and useless stuff like that.

I suggest you use notepad, plain and simple, just like css! I use notepad alot when quick editing my websites, or just use the online editors when i am away from my pc.

My suggestion is that you use EditPadLite for creating your css file. You can download it for free, and it's very simple and nice to use. I recommend that you visit this site to learn how to use css. It's the best site I think I think it's better you learn how to do it by hand. It's not hard, and all you have to do is make one css file for your whole site. When you have created your css, just save it and upload it to your site.

Add this code to the header of all the pages where you want your css:

<link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="yourfile.css">

Hope that helps you some

I use Notepad as well.

Like Michael said, it's better to look at other CSS templates to get a better grasp of it instead of getting an editor to do the job. Some good sources to learn CSS is http://csszengarden.com/ and http://oswd.org/

Good luck!

Hi Guevara,
For css I suggest you should find some templates to save you a lot of work (like the other posters said).
For HTML editing you might want to check out "1ST Page 2000". It's completely free, a big full featured program with lots of bells & whistles. Has a good help fule included with the program. Not much in the way of online product support though (because it's free).
Hope this helps

IMO, the most critical on editing css is syntax highlighting enabled editor!! try it out

I use Notepad or Notepad++. Notepad++ is free and includes syntax highlighting and lots of other features for loads of languages including CSS, PHP, ASP, HTML and many others. It automatically indents things and is easy to use.

Notepad++
