Is there any css Editor software that lets you edit the pages in a GUI format like front page with html.

I think the answer to the question asked in the tutorial canopy referenced is 'Mostly, no'.

Probably not a bad idea to get out of the habit of using WYSIWYG editors (like Dreamweaver) when working with Zencart.

As the tutorial says, you can create straight HTML (in DW or whatever) for define pages and EZ pages, but most of the rest is created on the fly by the Zencart PHP, using CSS, and presented to the browser, so there's no 'page' to edit.

Colors and fonts are almost all done in the stylesheet.css file. The first thing to do is install Firefox (if you don't have it) and then install the Web Developer plugin for FF. You can use that to find the CSS elements for any particular area on a page.

Post back here if you're not sure how to use it. Seems very complex now, but once you're 'Zenned' ...

I'm setting up FCK so that the client can use it.
I'm only using FCK as it has image upload option, something the client needs.
I'm getting a weird problem where the editor says that it's uploaded an image (when I'm testing) but when I look for the image on the server it doesn't exist!

All I need is a basic html wysiwyg type editor with image upload facilities (that work).
Is FCK the only option?

Ok guys back on my topic.

Ive been reading alot and playing around with zen cart. Ive started getting the hang of colours, fonts and other bits and pieces in the stylesheet.

Im using Topstyle pro3 for editing and Mozilla FireFox plug in to view the changes real time.
