Heroku had launched initially with an online code editor though they phased it out. Not sure if it's available online anywhere now days.
That would be particularly cool if Heroku added a "staging environment" to test the code prior to deployment.

#53I started constructorizer this summer but haven't had the time to do much with it. Someday I'll get back into it and integrate git repositories and finish features etc.

It's worth having a VPS around as your dev environment. The laptop you're carrying around is extremely likely to get lost, stolen, dropped, or otherwise damaged. A VPS isn't a backup solution, but it's not at constant risk of physical harm. Work in a screen session and you'll be able to pick up where you last left off --from any machine.

It's probably worth plugging http://prgmr.com/xen/ , run by fellow HN member lsc. If you prepay for the year, a 256MB VPS is only $6.40/mo. I've had good luck with it so far; it's a perfect always-on dev environment. (I'm just a customer, no affiliation) Edit: looks like they're not accepting new customers right now. sorry.
They where having some issues with their billing pages it said for some time. You can always email them and ask to keep you updated when you can place an order again. Even tough they seem to cut costs by not having a regular helpdesk, they are very fast responders and seem to know their bussiness very well.
I'm a new customer of their service and very happy with the price/quality, but you do have to have a technical background.

#55Hi - we're working on http://buildorpro.com which is focused on html/css markup as opposed the more codey focused IDEs.

The beta's there for sign up if you fancy giving it a spin.
PS - FireFox only at the mo. but Chrome support is hot on its heels.
