Is there a tool that will find html tags with class attributes that don't have a corresponding class in CSS?

Question

I have found http://www.sitepoint.com/dustmeselectors/ which does about the opposite of what I want, identifying selectors in CSS that aren't used in HTML.

I want a tool that will find elements that have a class attribute but the class isn't defined in any CSS being loaded by the page.

Thanks

Answer 1

No tools that I know of.

Seems like a good candidate for a short program, since you probably don't need to do this terribly often.

I'd regex out the class="someclass" from my source html, use the Web Developer's Toolbar in Firefox to get a concatenation of all my CSS, and regex out `.someclass', and then compare the two lists.

Answer 2

You could do a find using a text editor in your css file for classes you find in your HTML.

Answer 3

If the CSS file is correctly linked within your page and a part your project, then in VS.NET 2008 it'll give you a the standard little squiggle warning.
