FireFox: Edit CSS Plugin (Feb 29 2004 04:36 GMT) - EditCSS is an *amazing* plug in for FireFox (and other Moz variants) that I just discovered. It allows you to edit your web page's CSS in the left sidebar and watch the change in realtime in the browser pane. This is as cool as it gets in web design if you ask me. I just was playing and added a grey background with padding to my blockquotes, which I think looks pretty good. I was thinking about doing that at some point, but being able to just pull up my *live* site and edit the CSS and see the change in realtime is just unbelieveably cool. |
