I'm using Aptana Studio 2 on a Windows PC, and have a tab to preview the page on IE, and another to preview on Firefox. But I switched to Aptana 3 and I don't know if there's no preview or I just not founding it. And yes I did some research on stackoverflow and on aptana website, and on google too, and I have no answer. Now I'm using Aptana Studio 3 on a Mac, and I'd like to preview my page on safari on a embed browser inside the IDE.
How I set it up to preview with other browsers.
If there's no way to do that, how people do to edit files and preview then? Editing CSS is like a pain, editing a thing like 1 pixel, and saving and switching to browser window, and refreshing the page. Would be awesome if exist a splited screen with live preview.

Reset to default 10Side-by-Side Previewing
By default, previewing opens in a new tab. You can modify this to see your source and your preview side-by-side.
Setting Previews
If you wish, you can have your source and preview side-by-side
- Press the Preview button in the toolbar, The preview window launches
- Drag the preview window by the top tab to the left, right, bottom, or top of the editor area, depending on how you wish to split the screen.
- Saving the original source file updates the preview.

Thanks Ingo Muschenetz
for pointing this.
There is a blue square with what looks like a eye inside. It's between the 'Aptana Start Page' and 'Open Terminal' icons in the toolbar.
You can do a side-by-side preview. See the document here: http://wiki.appcelerator/display/tis/Side-by-Side+Previewing

By default, at my Aptana, I dit not have the Toolbar but I have the same problem as Vitim.us. So, 1) Windows --> Show Toolbar and 2) the solution of Michael Bunch.
