I currently have NVU and am having trouble puting in CSS code because once I have it in I cannot preview it. Do I need a Different editor?
Please help.
Try using a CSS skin, then edit the CSS so that it fits your project…that way you dont have to worry about the html(as said above), since the skin would already have it. Another option for CSS is a WYSIWYG editor, as they use CSS to potsition items
Whether you are able to view your CSS code depends on whether you are using an external CSS stylesheet, embedded CSS (between the head tags) or inline CSS styling.
The later two you can view in NVU by using the View Source tab because it will be there along with all the other HTML code.
Don’t remember if NVU now writes to an external CSS file without it being loaded like Dreamweaver or not. If it does or you are putting in CSS code for page layout, then that file will also have to be open in NVU. It will only make sense when viewed in Source otherwise in Preview it will be treated like a bad HTML page and all of it will be jumbled toger and hard to read.
The NVU I remember could not add CSS code like you do the regular HTML pages, but you had to write your own from the Code Source tab.
Matrix Y2k is a nice and free HTML Editor that will edit HTML, CSS, PHP, etc.. Has some nice features like the Code Inside function.

You don’t “see” CSS code, you see its effect on HTML elements.
