Looking for a CSS editor.
« on: October 12, 2012, 08:42:23 AM »
I'm looking for a CSS editor that will enable me load webpages and customize the css from it, kinda like  firebugs inspect element feature. This was pretty nice but it doesn't have a "load css from url" feature.

Have you tried Brackets?

Just checked out Brackets, it doesn't have "load css from url" feature or an address bar to go to a website to edit.

So, you need to be able to modify a website through HTTP ??? I'm not quite sure what loading from URL would implicate.

Interesting. Though I don't know any such editor, can't you use a browser to load the URL and to do whatever firebug does?

Opera does this, but what you get is only a preview that will disappear once you reload the page.

It's still pretty nifty and useful nonetheless, just make sure to keep your fingers of F5 and to always save the code.

That works because it just modifies the loaded cached data of the site.
What I never heard of is an editor that can get into the server's root and modify the source code.

That is usually not possible anyway, since CSS are embedded in files that can only be read, not written, anonymously. An editor that can directly modify the CSS stored on a server would be illegal, since it has to compromise security in order to do so.

I'm pretty sure what Meomix is looking for is basically what failboat mentioned (except maybe with a local save of the CSS to apply to future page loads).

It would be the same thing as downloading the site and using a regular editor, but also allowing HTML refresh and URL input.
I've still no clue if there is such a thing though.
