CSS

[Sivakatirswami]

OT but, ("my favorite software rant") WestCiv's Style Master is an 
outstanding aid to the process of using CSS. You won't get 100 percent 
preview but it will get you very close... Lots of things you want to 
see right away, like color etc will be there for you instantly as you 
edit the CSS without going to your browser. And it has the best CSS 
editing interface I've seen to date, worth every penny.  Style Master 
now stands next to Revolution, BBedit,  Interarchy and Image Ready as 
top tools to get the web job done pronto. Everytime I try some other 
integrated tool (GoLive or whatever) I always revert back to this suite 
for real productivity.

And Dan, as an owner of HTML Utopia... I want to thank you... without 
your book I don't think I could have made the bridge from the Cretan 
Era to the CSS era. Read I three times cover to cover and  still refer 
to it regularly.

WestCiv's Tutorials on CSS also tops in their web-dev self education 
arena

As for the future of CSS and standards... the Acid2Test challenge is on 
and Safari engineers at least are going for it.
