Sorry about forgetting to answer this Doug :( It would be more fun to
say sorcerer's secret and if I tell you I'd have to....... but :)

Secret Weapon - CssEdit which is how we find the right style sheet

and this tidbit of code you put in the header I discovered along the
way completely by accident that you put in the head section.

<base href="http://www.yourdomain.com" />

It allows you to work on a page locally, but the previews will show it
as online using all the resources it normally has available there.
Where this line of code is positioned in the head is critical since it
will apply to anything below it. So if I wanted to work on a
stylesheet locally I would have it linked above the base href code. Or
in Coda I believe I used the CSSedit override function to change to
style sheet with it included in the base href still linked below it.

So it no longer becomes necessary to download an entire site to work
on a single page and have to display correctly in preview. I don't
know for sure how well this works in all editors, but in Coda and
Textmate its pretty slick, and sneaky too :)
