Create Style Sheets With Style Master

[Inferno]

I came across this program via a PC related magazine. I am using 4.5, its called Style Master and can be found available to download trial here.

It has an automatic code finisher, ideal for beginners or people prone to making typo's

Built in browser support for IE, Firefox, Opera and Netscape plus a preview of your page as you work on it.

I find it really handy to create style sheets with....maybe a professional wouldn't like it but as im only a beginner I wouldn't know. If someone with some more experience wouldn't mind downloading the trial and giving us a review, I would greatly appreciate it

I wouldn't use it, but think it is a nice thing for beginners to use if they need a push in the right direction.

Just given this a go. Unistalled after 5 minutes of frustration. My recommendation? Get TopStyle.

My suggestion, just hand code your CSS, you'll learn quicker instead of having a program do it for you. "Making typos" is part of the game, everyone makes them, I do, professionals do, beginners do.

to me a tool, whatever it may be designed to do, is supposed to help me do what I want to do either quicker, better or more efficiently. I wouldn't use a screwdriver to drive a nail into a bit of wood. I could use the handle, but how long would it take me?

Why make life harder when you don't have to?

(agree with your typo point though. everyone does!)

why take longer to learn the quirks of css and styling sites? the arguement can go both ways. to each his/her own of course, i have never used a styling tool like style master or top style because i wanted to learn, take the time to study what attributes did what... helped me out for the better in my opinion. it may have taken longer, but i think i benefited from it.

I didn't notice I'm coding css by hand in notepad. I never got a program to do CSS for me like when you type text-al... then the program will give you a popup to select "text-align:left; or text-align:right;". I find CSS is so easy to coding by hand than HTML because HTML has many tables, td - too much coding so use html program for quicker.

CSS rocks!
