TopStyle
Lite 3.5

   TopStyle Lite is a simple CSS editor that allows you to edit and create CSS style sheets. It is based on TopStyle Pro but only contains a small subset of features aimed at casual users that just need basic CSS editing features. It offers an instant preview as well as a style inspector with support for different CSS and browser specifications.

HTTP
Watch

   HTTP Watch is used for website trouble shooting and performance tuning.

All web applications make extensive use of the HTTP protocol (or HTTPS for secure sites). Even simple web pages require the use of multiple HTTP requests to download HTML, graphics and JavaScript. The ability to view the HTTP interaction between the browser and web site can prove very useful in web development.

Replace
Text

   At its core, Replace Text is essentially a text search-and-replace program. However, unlike the search-replace functionality of a standard text editor, Replace Text is designed to operate on multiple files at once. And you need not only perform one search-replace operation per file; you can setup a list of operations to perform. If different groups of files need to have different operations performed on them, this is no problem either.
