You may want to consider Nick Bradbury's "TopStyle"
(http://www.bradsoft.com/topstyle/index.asp), currently in version 1.01. If
you're familiar with Homesite for HTML editing, you will find TopStyle has
a similar feel. TopStyle can be easily configured to display either CSS 1
or CSS 2 properties/values and has a "style checker" that will test your
CSS definitions against any or all of the folowing: CSS 1, CSS 2, IE 3, IE
4, IE 5, NN 4 and Opera 3.5. 

Another feature is TopStyle's abilty to use either IE 4/5 or Netscape's
"Gecko" as your internal browser. TopStyle can also install links to any
browser installed on your system for use as an external viewer. 

The software is a little pricier than some other available CSS editors, but
has a large package of features and development potential that I believe
make it a good investment.

Best wishes,
