I’ve been using a demo version of Style Master for about 3 weeks now and I must say there are several cool features I like. First thing I like a lot about Style Master is the fact that your code mode is still visible while you add a property to your statement through the sliding menus. You see a live-update of your code while doing this.

The best things in life aren’t free. But sometimes something great and unexpected pops up. I came across what seems to be a wonderful Free CSS Authoring tool. Yes you read it right it’s free!. But wait it gets better, this tool is available for Mac OS X, Windows, Mac OS 9 and Linux.
Simple CSS allows you to easily create Cascading Style Sheets from scratch, and/or modify existing ones, using a familiar point-and-click interface. With Simple CSS, you can manage multiple CSS projects and import your existing style sheets. Simple CSS supports CSS2. You can download it here.

By starting all over again I was able to fix the "jumping" error in IE 6
(see my post the day before yesterday).

I promised to keep you up-to-date, so here it goes... I'm still not there yet but I got some extra big help from a member of my blog, Travis. He did an amazing job by adding another script for the submenu and he also turned my tabled layout into CSS. Except for the dropdowns, everything is rendered by CSS now. Thanks Travis! :-) And to the others as well.

Today I had to do a rush job in CSS and XHTML. All went smoothly until I previewed my work in Internet Explorer 6 on PC. My buttons kind of jump or move when you roll over them and my fly-out submenus isn’t perfectly positioned either, it partially overlaps the main menu and they appear below my content on the right.... First thing you’ll notice is that I use table tags, but I’m still in the middle of things and I’m going to change this at a later stage when I have more time. Right now the only thing that matters is getting this menu right.

Since the success of the post about my 2 leveled navigation a few days ago, I decided to post the final version of this. I needed to create this for a project I’m working on and the version I use now is more extended. My previous version used a fixed width which was the same for each button. This makes it unusable if the title of your buttons vary a lot in length.

I’ve found the solution on my 2 leveled navigation. Many thanks to Jack Burman for pointing me in the right direction to fix the problem of the gab. I replaced the "float:left" with "position:absolute" (top: 22px) for #smenu1, #smenu2, #smenu3 and #smenu4 together with a left offset of 0px for each iteration.

As I mentioned in my yesterday’s post, I’m still a bit of a newbie when it comes to advanced CSS. My blog is actually my first website made with CSS2. I learned this by exploring CSS blogs, analyzing their code, looking at online CSS tutorials, experimenting etc.

Finally I got my new blog online. It took a bit more time then I thought because of all the self-study that I needed to do to get things going. No more hassles with iBlog and it will render much faster too. I’ve used the newest techniques like XHTML 1 and CSS2 to achieve a “cleaner” result ;-)
This site follows the W3C guidelines and I’m very proud of it. It took some sweat and tears but it was all for a good cause since one of my promises to myself is that I’m going to use the CSS techniques I’ve learned as much as I can when building sites for clients. It will be my (small) contribution to a standard compliant web!
Don’t hesitate to become a member on my blog because members will get some benefits in the future ;-)

CSSEdit is another outstanding program for MacOS X written by a Belgian (Ghent) programmer Jan van Boghout (MacRabbit). As the Internet expands, having a distinct style for your site becomes increasingly important.
