CSSVista è una software per windows (necessita delle librerie NET 2.0) che permette di fare un live editing del css di una pagina web e vederne i risultati contemporaneamente su Internet explorer e Firefox. Una volta installato CSSVista, il programma vi chiederà l’url di una pagina web di cui potrete vedere il render (esattamente come un qualsiasi browser). Il bottone EDIT farà comparire tre aree distinte: l’area di editing dei CSS della pagina e due aree di preview (una per Internet Explorer e una per Firefox). Modificando il codice del CSS, vedrete in tempo reale gli aggiornamenti degli stili nelle altre due finestre.

L’idea è molto carina e funzionale, ma sul mio sistema (windows XP caricato su Parallels di OSX) c’è un problema abbastanza grave in fase di editing del css: il focus sembra passare in automatico dall’area di modifica del CSS agli altri pannelli. Questo spostamento non voluto del focus è decisamente frustrante perchè mi sono spesso trovato a scrivere del codice e a non vederlo correttamente inserito (perchè per esempio l’area attiva era uno dei due pannelli della preview).

Se proprio volete ottenere questa soluzione vi consiglio di utilizzare due estensioni per firefox che vi permettono di modificare al volo un css di una pagina web qualunque (EDIT CSS) e IETAB (solo per windows) che vi permette di aprire dentro un tab di firefox una pagina caricata con il motore di Internet Explorer.

Qualcuno ha avuto maggiore successo con CSSVista?

If you want to find non used CSS styles aka orphan CSS classes or ID or simply styles let’s install “Dust-Me Selectors” FIREFOX extension:

Dust-Me Selectors is a Firefox extension (for v1.5 or later) that finds unused CSS selectors.

It extracts all the selectors from all the stylesheets on the page you’re viewing, then analyzes that page to see which of those selectors are not used. The data is then stored in your user preferences, so that as you continue to navigate around a site, selectors will be crossed off the list as they’re encountered.

Some really cool new features:

1. Rich Text Editor: here a demo with a custom “flickr” button.

2. ImageLoader Utility that let you play with dynamic loading of images: Loading Images Below the Fold and Images are loaded only after triggers are fired or time limits are reached

Writing in iPhone is an incredible experience. This video shows some advanced features of writing with the virtual keyboard (words suggestions, keyboard reconfiguration and keys resizing). You can see the video here. It’s really impressive the final part, when the guy shows how to write with two thumbs (see the post image).
