Ok, but this still doesn't allow you to directly edit CSS in an editor. Instead, you are required to right click -> add each time you want to add a line to the css. If you are adding more than 1 item to the css, the tool is basically useless.

Its also not obvious how to directly edit comments, etc.

The html editor, however, does contain a full editor which allows you to directly edit the html.

You could try firebug, or firebug light if you don't have admin access to your pc. Its not exactly the solution either though.

Hopefully you have access to firefox and developer toolbar. Then you can write compliant code, then backport the code to IE8. But some IE8 specific css hacks are broken in the IE8 developer bar, so if your using hacks to get it to look right, be prepared for that.

According to MSDN, this is doable directly with the IE8 developer tools:
