    Hello, I hope I'm not violating the Rules. I'm working on a new open source HTML & CSS design tool and thought this forum might be interesting in beta testing the new software.

    All you need is a Windows 2000/XP Computer (Mac version is still very buggy) and the latest Firefox browser (version 1.5).

    If you are interested, goto:

    http://www.arrowplain.com/

    and test out the program. It runs within the Firefox browser. Looking for bug reports / suggestions on how to make the program better. Please disregard if this type of post is not allowed here. Thanks!

    I will play around with it tonight. One question, how do I input values for margin, etc?

    The arrow keys control all. To increase margin press the UP arrow key. Hold down Ctrl and you'll increase it faster. Down arrow will go the other direction. Change the action from "width/height" to margin. If you leave it as width/height the arrow keys control that instead.

    Well, I'm really impressed!

    One thing though. It would be cool if the names you create are the IDs of the layers once the website is "generated". I created "container", "header", "content", "footer" and my layer IDs were "t1", "t2", "t3", "t4" etc...

    You are absolutely right JJenZz, there's no reason those IDs can't be nice names. I'll just have to add a restriction so there can be no duplicates and no weird characters in the names you pick. Thanks!

    Its kind of cool, but I'm not seeing any real advantages over hand coding. Though it might fit into Google Pages nicely.

    Go get acquired....I'll take a 5% cut ;)

    Re: advantages over hand coding
    I like being able to hit the arrow keys a few time and see how a border or padding will look vs. having to type in some numbers. I can change my mind much easier with the arrow keys.

    Broker the deal, u got it :)
