I'm looking for a web based CSS picker

Part of the myKB.com application I work on has a styles screen. This lets users define certain styles that get used in the application css, so they can change the look and feel of their knowledge base application. What we have now for an interface sticks.

myKBStyles

Last week (or two) I blogged about finding a color picker, that makes picking HTML colors much easier than actually typing int eh HEX color code. What we have is effective, but it requires that the end user know something about CSS, which means they call in and our support does it for them, because no one in the real world knows CSS, and why should they have to? Can anyone recommend a web based CSS picker (hopefully an ASP.NET server control) that resembles the common windows UI for picking styles?

StyleBuilder

It doesn't have to be super advanced, but he more options the better.

Scott, the FreeTextBox has a built-in css editor: http://freetextbox.com/demos/ Then you click in any text part and right-click in the tag in the freetextbox statusbar. Maybe is possible use it :)

I've always found the VS CSS Style Picker both overly simplistic and overly confusing at the same time. I'd suggest pick the few properties that make sense, then make an ajax wizard: 1. pick the item 2. style to fit or copy from another style
