Searching for an online CSS editor

·1 min

I was quite surprised I didn’t find any good online css editors.
I have a simple textarea of css selectors and attributes, and I wish to offer some kind of help to the user in editing those rules. The best tool I found is called Sky CSS Tool, and it does a lot of fancy things I like, however it doesn’t support attribute generation from the CSS Code itself. Also the project is pretty much left alone for a number of years. After some modernization, this could be a great tool though.

CSS frameworks

·1 min

Some time ago CSS “frameworks” were growing out of the ground like mushrooms after rain. Now we have at least a dozen, and the number is growing.
I have always wondered what similarities/differences they have, who knows, i might use one of them in the future. The answer comes from Eric Meyer, who has made some comparisons recently, which was summed up Jeremy Keith in this article. A good reading if you have two minutes.
Some other info on the topic can be found here and here.

CSS Naked Day

Tomorrow is CSS Naked Day. Strip all your styles from your webpage, if you dare! I think i won’t be that bold, but its an interesting initiative from Dustin Diaz, and so far some 700 sites have joined.

Save the developer + css support in IE

·1 min

I recently came accross this site. Great to spread the word amongst people stuck with IE6. Although i am not that big fan of IE7 either, and i would definitely change the order of the recommendations.

\[UPDATE: the above link was removed. Read on [here](http://devdaweb.blogspot.com/2008/12/save-developers-dead.html).\]

Why IE6 sucks? There are many issues, just to grab one, it is poor CSS support. Related to this there is a new doc from Microsoft showing the css selector support in running versions of Explorer. That might be useful to check one day.
