Perhaps relatedly: one of my clients, for reasons unknown to me, uses a very efficient brand of CSS, wherein they have a separate CSS file for every browser. This in itself wouldn't be inefficient, but every file reproduces a great deal of content from the others. Obviously the more efficient route would be to create a global stylesheet with properties common to all browsers, then use browser-specific stylesheets that include the global one.
So what I'd like to find is a tool that reduces all those stylesheets to a canonical form, then compares them, extracts the common elements, and pushes those off to a global sheet. Has something like this been written? Has at least the canonicalization part been written? If I could canonicalize, I could write a script to take it from there. I started writing my own parser for the CSS grammar, but I assume this wheel has already been invented. The online CSS optimizer that you linked to doesn't explain what it does -- it says to click on the About page, but there is no such page. Does the online optimizer handle the canonicalization that I'm looking for? -- Stephen R. Laniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] +(617) 308-5571 http://laniels.org/ PGP key: http://laniels.org/slaniel.key
