I got the page I was working on yesterday validated by w3c css, came out no errors, the HTML part is also error free. now the wdg validation was not as good, some characters not allowed errors, or the line must start with a-z A-Z or 0-9. not big deal, fact is I tried to clean up the errors in the css, things like this #header{ and the like by removing the # character, error city.
Any way to my point is there a software that will look at the css and the html, and output a report of things that aren't needed or used?
The kind of elements/attributes that don't really hurt anything but just aren't necessary.
Full Version: css and html code cleaner

The WDG and W3C HTML validators shouldn't give different results. But I recall the WDG CSS lint doesn't support all things new for CSS2, though.

It could be a big deal. Can you post the URL to the page?

If "#header" is an ID selector it needs the "#", otherwise it refers to a "header" element (and these don't exist). Why remove the "#"?

Are these elements and attributes generated by some WYSIWYG program?

Don't know, just the fact is didn't start with the correct characters.

No I used a template for a starter and adjusted it to my needs as a learning exercise.
I used HTML-KIT and compared what I had, in the trial of Coffee-cup
Good luck decoding my reply I am not real good at multi-quoting.
