I'm looking for a VS2008 Plugin or other tool that allows me to edit CSS and preview the changes in IE and Firefox.

I'm not full time web designer, so free or open source is a plus.
Visual Studio integration is a big plus

CSSVista

Pros:

  • Free
  • Nice previews

Cons:

  • Editor is not powerful
  • No save to local file
  • No intellisense

Firebug

Pros:

  • Free
  • Intellisense

Cons:

  • No save to local file
  • Only firefox

Homesite

Pros:

  • Intellisense
  • Saves to localfile

Cons:

  • Not free

What I use to get that functionality is through the Web Developer Addon for Firefox, you can edit CSS in real time. I don't know of a functionality like that for VS.

and how do you save the changes?

@Eduardo: in the Edit CSS option of this tool, there's a save/refresh mechanism built-in.

It is nice but lacks intellisense

Not quite the answer you'r looking for realy but Firebug for Firefox has css-edit-preview.

skybound stylizer seems to be the app for you. allows for live editing, much like cssvista, but with way more powerful tools for editing.
