Is there any CSS editor that lets you stretch your page layout in a visual display and then that automatically applys that to your css file? Sort of like how you can drag and adjust the size of your browser window.

All the CSS editors I've used so far require you to type it in measurment propertys save and then look at your html file. :(

WYSIWG (or whatever the abbreviation is) editors do that with the "preview" tab, however those are mostly based for the IE rendering engine, thus are not helpful and should not be relied upon.

The browser window "drag and drop" feature saves the information into a cookie and sets it to your computer, so that every time you re-visit the page you get the layout that you desire so long as the cookie does not expire / you do not clear your browser cookies.

Now with that said, all of those browser drag and drops use and re-write the css file, so that would be the closest you could get to what you are describing, because its real time in your browser window; you, as the developer, could decide then to copy the changes made to the css file, but I am not aware of a WYSIWG editors
