linux css editor

ok, I've been dual booting various flavours of linux alongside winXP for about two years now and REALLY want to make the move to a linux-only system. The only catch is the one killer app that I use all the time on winXP, TopStyle Pro CSS editor.

Does anyone know of a good native linux css editor? I haven't tried topstyle with wine yet (I tend to use wine a a last resort because I don't seem to have much luck with it), but would much rather go native is possible.

Most web IDEs like bluefish, quanta and screem will have a built in css editor. Screem's is particularly good.

However, there's cssed, a dedicated GTK2 app for this job. app-editors/cssed.

Speaking of CSS, what spec (out of the four) does everyone prefer to use? Also, do all major browsers that support CSS support all four (IE, Netscape, Mozilla, Firebird, Konq, etc.)?

I prefer to use the standards set up by the W3C, and nothing else. If you have an old style browser (<5) then you will need to update, but that might still be a good idea, even if you don't mind the horrible messed up sites in those old browsers. Anyone can get mozillafirebird, so no reason not to upgrade, even if it's IE 6.0. I refuse to work with the nightmare that is spacer cells and table layout, i'm really starting to like xhtml strict and css location stuff.

My main gripe is that IE 6.0 still doesn't support transparant png, and all IE developers should be shot on site for making the webpage developers still use .gif for `transparant' images. IE 6.0 renders most standards complient sites correctly, although it will sometimes mess up spacing. Everyone should be forced to use MozillaFirebird

Yep it is always fun to tell those who praise IE then call everything else shit, nutscrape, etc to bugger off. Try pulling that stint when you make a living coding websites :/

Mozilla Firebird has an extention that lets you edit any page's css and see it updated in real-time in a sidebar. I don't think there's anything that can beat that. Go Mozilla!

I do not understand...when I still used IE, it dealt with pngs just fine. It couldn't do mngs, though.

on the topic of editors, I like to use quanta. It was an easy move for me coming off of dreamweaver/homesite. the new quanta-3.2-rc1 is really nice.
