A Brief Review of CSS Toolbox
I came across a neat program over the weekend called CSS Toolbox. It is a simple CSS editor. It is much like other CSS editors I have played with in the past. There are some great CSS editing programs for Mac users but there are less good sound choices for PC users. CSS Toolbox is a welcome addition to my list of programs although I doubt I will use it regularly.
It does offer some handy features that make it worthwhile. The first is they ability to easily re-format CSS code from other developers. Often when editing sites created by other companies I come across very poorly formatted CSS and the automatic re-formatting offered by CSS Toolbox can easily turn this into readable CSS code.
Another useful feature offered by CSS Toolbox is the ability to validate CSS code. Usually firebug does a good job of validating my CSS code but it never hurts to have another option, especially one where I can edit and update directly from the program.
The final feature and one that could be very useful for me is the ability to automatically compress CSS. For most projects I don’t bother compressing CSS because the files are usually not terribly long and the websites don’t get enough traffic that bandwidth is a realistic concern, however, occasions arise when compression can be particularly useful and the automatic compressing and decompressing offered by CSS Toolbox could be invaluable.
