'K, in a bit of a bind here:

I need to get my hands on a free CSS WYSIWYG Editor to modify an existing webpage for my very new boss. I know how to use Dreamweaver, but don't have any programs handy at present. Free is good, Trial is OK, pay is very much last option, suggestions are very welcome.

    How about Firebug? It requires you to actually know CSS, but it lets you edit stuff directly in Firefox to try stuff on live pages.

    When I was creating my webpage, I used Stylizer which is exactly what you need. But since it does cost, you can only use it fully for the 14 day free trial.

    Not to sound obnoxious, because really I'm not trying to be. But um... why not just use a text editor? I use Notepad++ for CSS editing. It does syntax highlighting.

    As for just CSS editors, this link has a few decent ones that are free.

    I've used Simple CSS, but I just prefer to write it out on my own.

    WYSIWYG editors are notorious for producing, bloated, bad code at output.

    I dont really know of any free WYSIWYGS but for plain old code editing there is Aptana which i believe is still freeware.

    Wow, I forgot this thread existed :) . My Boss actually died last year, so this isn't really an issue anymore, but thanks for the input!

    There was a spam post that necro bumped it first.
