Hi,
Mike,
I'm sorry, Dashcode is part of the Apple developer Connect package it
appears. Remember VI, that works beautifuly.
You may e-mail me with any questions.
Thanks for listening,

So what do you mean by a CSS editor? CSS is just plain text which
you can edit with just about anything, including TextEdit. Same goes
for HTML and JavaScript.

Hi,
Create a css file and save it as plain text in Text Edit
Then open the resulting css file with "Dashcode".
You have Dashcode installed on your Mac by default, I think.
You should be able to edit the source of your css.
I am not sure if this what you wanted, but I hope this helps.
Thanks for listening,

here is the assignment i have to do. I'm looking for an
accessible css editor and would love any help you could help
with.
Assignment 2
Due September 14 at midnight. Upload your .html, .css, and
image files to your McUAS server space in a folder named
257assign1 (see instructions here). Email me if you do not
receive a McUAS username and password from me by Tuesday,
September 9.
The Scenario
The (fictional!) Springfield School District has decided that
it is time to start converting their outdated Web site into a
standards-based Web site. They are happy with their current
design, but they would like to have pages that validate as
XHTML transitional, and they want their styles to be controlled
by an external style sheet. Their layout is currently
controlled by a layout table, and they would like to start
using CSS for layout instead.
For this assignment, you will attempt to replicate the design
of their home page, while separating it into a page that
validates as XHTML transitional, and an external style sheet.
They don't mind if some of the spacing is a bit different, or
if you change some aspects of the design (colors, fonts and so
on), but they would like the layout to be the same (banner and
photos across the top, navigation down the left, content on the
right, footer all the way across the bottom).
Part 1
Convert the Springfield School District (http://uashome.alaska.edu/~cjmckenna/fall08/cios257_200803/assignments/assign02files/springfield.html
) home page to XHTML 1.0 Transitional (view the source code and
copy-paste the html code into your text or html editor, and
right click to download the image files). The page must
validate in the W3C's validator: http://validator.w3.org/, and
all traces of the main layout table should be gone. Note: The
photos that run across the top are controlled by a nested
layout table. Laying out this nested table with CSS is a bigger
challenge than laying out the page with CSS. You may use a
layout table if you'd like, or for an extra challenge, you may
attempt to use CSS to lay out the photos. You are also welcome
to change the way that these three photos are incorporated into
the page.
The parameters for this page are as follows:
Convert all code so that it complies with W3C standards for
XHTML transitional
Remove deprecated tags and any unnecessary presentational
elements
Add classes and/or divs and ids where necessary to accommodate
your new styles.
Part 2
Create an external style sheet for your XHTML file, doing your
best to replicate the original layout of the Springfield School
District home page.
The parameters for the style sheet are as follows:
Use tag styles for styles would be universal throughout the Web
site
Assign id styles to your divs to layout the page
Validate your CSS file here: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
Details
You may use any of your favorite Web authoring tools, but you
are responsible for the code it produces. You may, of course,
also write your code in a text editor such as Notepad. You are
welcome and encouraged to discuss this assignment and help each
other out in the discussion forum.
Please test your upload early in the week so that you won't run
into any last minute issues.
