Dust Me Selectors

If you do quite a bit of web development there is a nice FireFox plug-in that can help show you which CSS selectors are not in use. This can be handy when you are working on cleaning up a site from an old layout and want to reduce just how much garbage code that is left over from the old design. Dust Me Selectors was just updated to support FireFox 3 which if you have not updated yet I urge you to.

It NEEDS a tool to ACTUALLY clean the styles out.

So we wrote one:
http://jclaim.sourceforge.net

Start it, then go to menu:
General/Handy Tools/Clean CSS

Feed it the file from this plug-in and the css file and it will make show you a clean css file.

Enjoy, it’s free.

All I see at that site is a JS framework, nothing to do with a FireFox plug-in or cleaning CSS, try to keep the comments on topic please.

That was on topic.
Read the directions, Joseph.
It’s part the UI. See earlier comment for how to find it.

Alex,

Sorry at first glance it seemed to have nothing to do with CSS.

I was not sure if you were a bot just spamming another product or not so my apologies.


Have your say...
