I may have asked this before...

Is there any way to do a live preview to a different server. If, say,  
i'm editing an ASP file through an SMB share on an IIS server. Can I  
do a preview of the rendered version of the page?
If i'm editing a CSS file on the same server, can I preview the page  
that calls that CSS file?
...and have it update that preview every time I make a change?
Can I have a back rub and a cookie?

Maybe i'm asking too much. :D
