Instant CSS Compiler?

Posted 06 June 2012 - 11:55 AM

Hello everyone, Im new to the site!

I was hoping you all could help me find a downloadable compiler like this one

http://www.w3schools..._animation-name

that will work offline. I am currently working on a site
For my job and I need something like this to help me preview what my changes automatically without the risk of messing up the code we already have.

Thanks everyone!

why not set up a dev project and transfer it over when you are happy with the look?

I am currently an intern so I'm not really sure how to do that. Could you please explain.

Thanks for the quick reply by the way!

ask if you can create a new project on a dev server. Copy all the original files to the new project and start working on it....or you can just ask them to set it up for you...

Is the site static? ie just HTML/CSS? If so you can just transfer all the files from the dev server to your local box. And then you can just use any text editor, Notepad++ or Sublime for example.

Or if it's dynamic, and has a database attached then you could set up a local web server, using WAMP (Windows), LAMP (Linux), MAMP (Mac).

What I would recommend though, is even if you're working on it locally you should have some kind of version/source control system in place, such as SVN. This way you can revert any changes.

I would advise not working directly on the dev server, you should work locally, and when you're happy with the changes then push it up.

i dont think there is a downloadable compiler which lets us preview our work at the same time we code,but you can download some of the html compilers(Editors) i use:

Coffee Cup HTML EDITOR(its not free,but the free version runs forever but lacks some features of the full version)

Microsoft VISUAL WEB DEVELOPER 2010 EXPRESS

If you need some more things like web designer or other things related to this, you can visit:

Other Products

Hope This Helps.
