Dust-me selector tool for finding unused CSS selectors

My find for today was a Firefox extension called Dust-Me Selectors from the SitePoint guys that scans a web site looking for unused selectors in the CSS.

It extracts the style references for the current page and then looks at the page to see where they are used. It can look at the current page or you can set it up to spider your entire site.

Hi Helen,

Thanks for this find! See http://www.sitepoint.com/dustmeselectors/ui/#dms-spider-controls for the bit on how to spider an entire site… (assuming you would have updated the post if you had found it already :) )
