Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms that assist web page developers in “live styling” a web page without having to repeatedly compile a meta-language style sheet are disclosed. In one embodiment, these techniques and mechanisms include styling functionality to help the developer of the web page carry out a cycle of a streamlined web page live styling process. With the styling functionality, the developer can direct input to a user interface control to change the value of a corresponding meta-language style sheet variable. In response to the input, presentation of the web page is virtually instantaneously updated to reflect the changed value. The developer may repeatedly direct input to the user interface controls until the desired web page appearance is achieved.
