Collapsable sections so

.nolink {

stuf...stuff...stuff...

}

can be collapsed to reduce my scrolling time

Add a right click menu options for copy and paste

In HTML editor, the tabs place an * beside the name if the file changes and has not been saved, this is a nice feature I would like in CSS editor

Thanks and looking forward to the upgrade :)

I'm new to CSS and the CoffeeCup Stylemaker. But it seems to me that there should be two windows, one windw where the CSS code is written and the other window where you can immediately see the actual result of the edits. Does Stylemaker already do this and I haven't discovered the feature yet? Thanks

Have you found out if this program does this.

I see that this software was released in 2007, is it outdated? I don't see any updates or upgrades. Is this the recommended CSS Software? Lonnie G.

How about this:
If you key your CSS code inline in the CC HTML Editor, an 'intellisense' type dropdown box appears with a list of the items available. Can this feature be added to an upgrade of CSS Stylemaker?

One small item; when you create a new document, the application automatically inserts the <style> </style> tags. If the CSS code is to be inserted into the HTML document, this is fine, however, if used in an external link, the statement is not required, but if it's removed the coloring goes away. Can this be fixed, or is this already there and I've just not found it as yet?

One last suggestion.

Please give us the option to use relative addressing instead of absolute addressing.
i.e. do not include the "http://www.domain.com/" in the links

Do not include any ./ or ../ in teh link HREF either. Allow me to enter that in place of the domain string if I choose to.

HI Everyone,

After reviewing the Coffeecup Stylesheet maker, I have came up with a few ways to better the program in the future.

*No Auto Complete (there is in the html editor for style why not have it for this program as well.)

*Doesn't Accept right click to copy or paste, again this is a capability in the html editor, so why not make it a universay function on both programs.

*Cannot undo after saving the file, big pain, when you have to save the file to preview the changes in the html file.

*Saved file does not acknowledge line breaks, some like them some do not, but if you put them in, they should register as such I feel.

Hope this helps for the next update. Would like to make more use of it, as it stands now, the html editor does what this does and more. Wish I tested the trial version efore buying, but I am usually so impressed with the software, I am sure we can get this one up to par though.

Thanks all Chad Warford

I've been using the HTML Editor for years.. and am quite happy with it.. (In fact, I probably couldn't code without it!)... but I'm glad I took a trial look at the StyleSheet Maker. OOOPS!

Obviously.. you're waiting to develop the new product, because this is hopelessly outdated!...

CSS3 is available.. but we need help in learning how to use it. Please HURRY!

Years ago I tried Stylesheet Maker and found it not to have all the features that I get from the free version Topstyle Lite. I suggested that some of the features of Topstyle Lite, like preview and the side panel listing available options for each item.
I was sent a mailshot stating the all new Stylesheet Maker was availalble. I tried to download the trial to see new features but it would not let me as my previous trial had expired. I requested an extention, but salses said they could not and my only choice was to purchase this programme. When I did I found little had changes, mostly cosmetic, since I trialed it back years ago. I feel cheated as if I had trialed it, I would never have purchased it.
This is the first programme from Coffeecup that has truely disappointed. I have considered purchasing Topstyle but it's HTML Editor is not a patch on Coffeecups, pity the same is not true of Stylesheet Maker.

Another feature that I have requested over all the programme range is an EN (UK) spellchecker, come on Coffeecup, it should not be hard to incorporate this!

Topstyle is nice but really doesn't do anything my html editor doesn't do. :) CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!
