Oh well, perhaps there are things I am missing. But I suspect -
perhaps unfairly - that there is a Force of Unnecessary
Complexity secretly acting on earthlings.
I have done these things without much work at all, see my
previous reply.
Perhaps I need to explain more? The OP had a problem we all
confront. Simple enough in most cases no matter how big the site.
Suppose you want to know if a #navMonday css instruction can be
safely removed from your CSS sheets. All you have to do is search
for ' id="navMonday" ' over the folder that contains all the
website files. It is a button press. What is hard about it? If
the search comes up with nothing, you search for '#navMonday' and
all instances in your css will show up and you delete them by
hand because they are there at your fingertips (see my previous
post). You can, when you get good at the S & R function be a
little cleverer and get any class (as well as or instead of id)
of this name. You can replace instances with nothing and so fix
all up automatically. But for most situations it is so quick and
easy, why bother your head, it is the finding not the deleting
that takes time. I doubt many would need fancy doodle perling and
reg exping and generally tooling about in some macho V8 flexing
about...
Come on guys, get real!
