    Maybe this will help. http://www.sottwell.com/how-templates-work.html

    If you’re using Firefox, you can use its "It’s All Text" add-on, which allows you to use the editor of your choice for editing textarea fields.

      This did help, thanks much. There should also be a way to edit in TM from Safari via the TM bundle "install edit in textmate", but that doesn’t seem to work. It may be because that bundle hasn’t been updated in a while.

      I did some research on the edit in textmate bit. Apparently, that broke in 10.6 w/64 bit apps. Some people report that upgrading textmate to the bleeding edge version fixed it, but it didn’t for me. On another suggestion in macromate’s blog, I found this software: http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/quickcursor

      It does the same thing as the firefox plug-in, but with a key-command if you wish.

        I use BBEdit for the XHTML and then CSSEdit to write the CSS with works really well as you have a life preview, letting one actually develop visually the CSS.
