HTML/CSS editor for Mac OS X
Are there any free/open source HTML/CSS editors for Mac OS X? I couldn’t find any at Google. I know about Textmate, BBEdit, Stylemaster, etc., but I first would like to know if there are any free programs.
Regards,
Joey

Hi JoeyNL,
Two quick suggestions:
Free CSS Editor for Mac OS X > Simple CSS
Free HTML Editor for Mac OS X > Taco HTML Edit
Also take a look at skEdit and CSSEdit . They’re not free, but reasonable priced.
Extra Hint: For finding mac software use MacUpdate or VersionTracker
All the Best,

Texmate takes a little while to really grok the power, but it’s a powerhouse.
I also really like skEdit, worth every penny of the $25.

Re: HTML/CSS editor for Mac OS X
I purchased Textmate pre-Textpattern when I thought I might go the RoR direction. I never had time to pursue RoR and these days do a lot more PHP work which Textmate lacks a complete language set for. Eitherway. I still find myself booting up Adobe GoLive for 1 silly thing: CSS auto-complete (Textmate doesn’t have this feature, although you could sorta make one from what I understand). Anyway I like Textmate overall, and I probably use only about 10% of it’s capability. For me the nicest features are it’s integration with my FTP client (Fetch), the folder (project) view, and being call-able from the command-line (although I’m totally spoiled because of this as it only works locally: when I am shelled into another server I have to suffer through vi again…).
I use CSSEdit too, and it’s nice, light, although the auto-complete is not as intuitive or powerful as GoLive.
I was turned onto skEdit though, and it seems ideal if you do a lot of web work – HTML, CSS, Javascript (I don’t know about PHP) – but it features, for one thing, an awesome auto-complete. It appears to have the project view and a lot of other great features as well and only costs $25 (vs $40 for Textmate). I haven’t integrated it into my workflow yet (I’m trying to get the office to buy me a copy) but based on the trial I would recommend it for what you need…

Re: HTML/CSS editor for Mac OS X
I use skEdit & CSSedit and really think they are both worth every $ that I paid!!!
On the free side of things, I also use a lot TextWrangler for single page edits here and there, and find it also very good:

Re: HTML/CSS editor for Mac OS X
June !
Time to eat wild strawberries. Try Smultron (aka “wild strawberries” in swedish). And it’s free (open-source).
Features
Smultron is an open-source text editor written in Cocoa for Mac OS X with many of the features that you need. You can easily work with many documents and select one quickly in a list. Some of the other features are line numbers, support for syntax colouring for many different languages, support for text encodings, code snippets, a toolbar, a status bar, HTML preview, multi-document find and replace with regular expressions, possibility to show invisible characters, authenticated open and saves, command-line utility, .Mac synchronisation of preferences.
Simple and easy.
One day I’ll try SkEdit, seems to be the step further…

Re: HTML/CSS editor for Mac OS X
Smultron is very nice as a general purpose text editor. It’s light and fast but it doesn’t offer any bells and whistles like tag insight and auto completion is I remember.
Still nothing is as good at that as topstyle pro on windows. I really wish Nick would make a Mac port.
