CSSDesk – Edit, Test HTML And CSS Online

This is a guest post by Kevin Scott. If you want to guest post on this blog, just drop me a message using the Contact page.

Have you ever wanted to test out a neat HTML code or test a CSS snippet? Using a neat web app called CSSDesk you can test out, basically a whole entire website, on an online CSS sandbox.

The interface of CSSDesk is pretty simple and straight-forward. There is a sidebar on the left that allows for code editing. As you edit code, CSSDesk will automatically sync changes to the right preview screen.

If you wish to learn how to create CSS, please visit W3Schools. If you wish to learn how to create HTML, please visit the documentation in W3Schools about HTML.

You can change the background into one of the few preselected backgrounds or you can create a body element in the CSS.

If you wish to show off your sandbox to someone else on the internet, just click on SHARE or on SAVE to receive a link which will contain all your progress for you to reopen later.

If you wish to download your CSS sandbox, just click DOWNLOAD and it will download an html file. CSSDesk does not create a separate file for the stylesheet; instead, it just puts all the CSS into a little <style> tag. If you wanted so, you could cut the style from the HTML document and create a separate CSS file which you would have then link to the HTML.

You have the ability to toggle syntax highlighting on or off. Syntax highlighting is just a way for your browser to highlight specific syntax tags so that they show up as separate from the ordinary texts. In my opinion, why would anyone NOT want the syntax to be highlighted?

In my opinion, this is one of the greatest web applications that I have ever stumbled upon throughout my whole web-surfing life. How does CSSDesk help you?
