CSS design tool for Dreamweaver debuts

WebAssist partners, in conjunction with CSS expert Eric Meyer, has debuted a new tool dubbed CSS Sculptor that plugs into Adobe Dreamweaver for creation of Web standards compliant CSS-based layouts. With Sculptor, once a layout is selected, the user can change any aspect of it, including page width and browser window position. Additional columns can be added to the left or right of the main content area; likewise, headers and footers can be included or omitted with a checkbox. The tool can also display structure of the CSS markup in a tree-like control. Users can select any item in layout tree, such as the body or header to define specific properties. 30 of the most common Web page layouts are built-in, which can be easily modified with regard to page positioning, margins, fonts, and background images. Additionally, CSS Sculptor automatically creates a print style sheet for every design. CSS Sculptor is available at an introductory price of $100 through September 6, 2007. It is compatible with Dreamweaver CS3 and Dreamweaver 8
