Hi,

I don't know much about CSs, and I am interested in learning table-less site design.

Any leads on editors to make table-less design easier?

Just Google it. There's quite a few good templates and tutorials out there.

I wouldn't think that there are any editors that would generate tableless code. Maybe I'm worng. In general, editors are the antithsis of clean, streamlined code, which is what you'd want tableless CSS for.

There are, of course, things like Notepad2 or Arachnophilia which make coding easier by color-coding tags and checking ending tags and such.

Dreamweaver will create table-less code, but it ain't good table-less code and it won't help you learn CSS.

For the really good stuff you'll have to get down and dirty with a text editor.

FrontPage will create table-less code for you as well, but I doubt it's any better than what DW puts out.

There was one tool called Style Master that was supposed to be a CSS WYSIWYG of sorts. I tried it out a while back, and it didn't impress me. It may be better now.

TopStyle is probably the best CSS tool out there IMHO.

Tools?

I have never seen any wysiwig..

however i use dreamweaver, but end up hand coding inside it and using its intelliesence for attributes names etc. Find it quite good.

buy a book, read it, then do a search on css hacks. learn it instead of trying to take a shortcut. in the end it will save you alot of time and anguish
