The Web Developer add-on [addons.mozilla.org] for Firefox contains more or less the functionality you describe. There you can edit (locally) the CSS and see the changes instantly rendered in the page.

Thanks For your Interest.... Well let me explain it to you in this way... I ahve an application which uses the CSS for style rendering. Now in order to customize the application appearance, i want to have an HTML page from where i can change the different styling aspects, so that the CSS is actually modified. When the CSS gets modified, the next time i load the application, it will have the changed appearance.
Thus in order to make this customization, i will have an HTML page and use javascript to change the CSS.
Just like in MS Work, the HTML will have options like BOld, COlor, text color, etc. and when i make the changes in the HTML and click on a button for saving those changes, these chamges should be made in teh CSS so that the application on launch has the new look as customized.

Are you making a web site or a stand-alone application?

i am making a Standalone HTML file to modify CSS as per requirements.
This is being done so that a user not having knowledge of CSS can modify the CSS using this html page as per his whims.

With just javascript you can't change the CSS on the server "for next time", nor for other users. You'll need authentication, server side scripting and the like to accept the changes back at the very least.
Editors to edit css and html exist out there, none of them is something simple. Esp not as you seem to want them to be able to edit the page the editor is in itself (that's like wanting to cut off the branch you're sitting on). I'd limit myself to a wysiwyg editor that edits something inside a window only, not the page it is sitting in itself. And then well you'll need a server component to work with the client component. One of those editors I've seen is in java (not javascript, but few will notice the difference) and is customizable and very cross platform: FCKeditor But it might not be what you seek, as I'm not sure what you want to achieve. Editing CSS isn't having B and i button in my mind.
