DH Templates

what platform do I use for creating css sheets?

I am learning basic css, but the online tutorials just teach you the coding. I want to know what program is best for creating websites and templates with css?

1. Any text editor, one with syntax highlighting is best, I'm fond of TextMate (Mac) and JEdit (multiplatform), along with a decent selection of browsers to test it in. Firebug (which runs inside Firefox) is a near essential debugging tool.
2. the best is Adobe Dreamweaver, even you type a small code dreamweaver will do the rest for you. same goes MS front page.
3. As the first contributor said, any text editor. If you want syntax highlight I also recommend TextMate for Mac or BBEdit. For Windows, I use Dreamweaver CS3 and Visual Studio. Those are both paid programs though... for free, Coffee Cup is good. http://www.coffeecup.com/free-editor/
4. You should practice with any raw text editor first (like notepad). Learn how CSS are structured, etc,etc. Then go with a WYSWYG like Front Page or Dreamweaver. The problem is that you can find yourself in a situation in where the html editor will not let you do what you want or like Dreamweaver or Frontpage fill your page with unnecessary code. If you know how to code CSS from scratch you can do whatever you want and clean your code as much as possible. Making your code more readable from others and from you.
