I came across TopStyle Lite (http://www.bradsoft.com/topstyle/download/litedload.asp) . I haven't used it much, but the Pro (commercial) version is suppose to be pretty sweet.

TopStyle Lite packs the most punch for the price (free) and gives you realtime previews.

Is it that good? I really haven't gotten around to using it much.
How much better is the commercial version?

I code all of m CSS in NotePad. and occasionally check it in Dreamweaver MX when there is a problem that I cannot spot.

I have dabbled with Coffeecup Stylesheet Maker, available at coffeecup.com for those interested. But I did not see anything of value with it. Other than a few wizards to get the stylesheet set up quickly, there was nothing exceptional.

What would be useful would be a program that would let you specify CSS positioning, and all of the other really useful CSS stuff in a wizard type format.

I cant say that I saw that present in CC stylesheet maker though.

If anybody sees an editor that provides this, i would be happy to hear about it:)

TopStyle lets you preview positioning.

If you are positioning, though, the display of the other elements whil be overlaid and it gets messy real quick. I do positioning first and save it then create the second half of the stylesheet, get it right and then merge the two. Besides, different browsers don't do the positioning the same way. I lay down the basics and then do edits and updates edits and updates to do the fine tuning.

How do other folks handle the IE5.5 box-model problems? I'd be interested since it is the biggest thorn in CSS positioning's side.
