 Posted: Fri May 26, 2006 1:28 pm Post subject: unused css |
 |
|
I have reused an old stylesheet and significantly added to it, i was wondering if there is program or website that wil go through the css and tell me unused parts without me having to do it manually? Or maybe sed can do it (i have never used sed before).

Just do it by hand. If you are unsure of which parts are necessary then you are too shit at css to make websites, please turn off your computer and bang your head against the closest wall. If your css file is so big and complicated that the thought of doing it by hand makes you groan with despair, then your site design sucks like a 5 dollar crack whore and you need to start afresh.

How is such a program supposed to work? For example, a CSS class may not be used on the frontpage but used somewhere else deeper in the site, I suggest you clean up the code using this site then remove unwanted parts by hand.
Edit: The CSS cleanup service I linked to is based on CSS Tidy, a command-line CSS cleanup utility.

I would guess that it could look for stuff in the child pages that references css classes, if no references are found then it would return a 1 for unused, otherwise it would return 0 and the appropriate line number(s.)

I based it on a previous site with 2 different style sheets, i modified both and created a third, 2 are of average size and the other is very long.
The truth is that it is too long ago written to remember from memory and i'm not that fucking stupid to go through pages and pages writing down which ones are still in use. The problems happened when i converted some of the content to php and it is too much of a mess.
Also i'm too fucking lazy

also i was thinking that a sed script could browse through 2 sheets (one being html and the other css) and output all the same values (names here) which i would have in one file and then to it to other to have a list of ones used. I'm not talking about table or heading values i'm talking about named classes where the names have changed because i've just used another name to be lazy rather that going through and changing it..

Not much help now but it works well to comment in your stylesheet so that you know later wtf different bits do. To comment in CSS files you use this style:
/* I am a comment */
as I said not much help to you now though |
