Better check the code for that entry! I think you haven’t closed the URL tag…
Nice source code!
Works nice. How extendable is it though? Can you add x nr of boxes and the style can be applied to those as well?
The popups are a nuisance, if I click ‘close’ on a tab, I don’t want a warning asking me if I really want to close the tab. Same goes for clicking links.
Nice!
Pretty cool, I’m not usually one to use myspace, but these guys do a great job. The css code it generates is crazy.
Hangs on loading animation in Safari. Error in console:
Object (result of expression $) does not allow calls.

Doubt it helps…
Er… more errors:
SyntaxError – Parse error – lines 134, 138
ReferenceError – Can’t find variable: TipBubble – line 147
SyntaxError – Parse error – lines 147, 150, 151, 157, 160
TypeError – Object (result of expression showCover) does not allow calls. – line 164
All of the above shows address http://www.realeditor.com/editor/

A bit heavy of an interface, but it does seem to work fairly nicely. I’ve often felt that there should be an “HTMLArea” for developers too, not just for clients. So when we click on the “Source” button to go into the raw HTML you had tools too, like tag insight/completion and rich CSS editors. This is a nice step towards the CSS part of that equation.
Sorry about the errors Trevor – it’s built for FireFox and IE only at this point.
If we port the editor to more elegant services you can expect Safari support. ;)
@Real Editor:
I don’t mind, I likely won’t be using the tool in the near future. I just thought you might like to know.
Nice feature, but please lord, don’t give myspace users any more control over their pages! Look at what a mess they already are!
Also agree with Mike re being a little heavy on the interface.
@Trevor
Actually, this is the type of control myspace users need. I’ve been planning on doing something similar for a site I’ve been working as a hobby. You build a javascript interface to build the CSS for the profiles, and not give users direct access to CSS/HTML, you end up with better control of the layout of the page in general. Avoiding the mess that many myspace profiles are.
Assuming you meant @ajaxianfading, not @Trevor. ;)

Will this work with http://www.terapad.com? Terapad does loads more than MySpace and they give me full acccess to my CSS, but I am struggling to customise it.
@realeditor: v. nice work. I’m the CEO of Terapad, the company mentioned above by Julian Scott. He’s right, something like this would be great on Terapad. Please ping me when you can: st AT terapad.com. Thanks.
