When you roll over links they change to white which makes them unreadable on the white background (and not much better in the green sidebar).
The dark blue link in the footer is almost unreadable too until you roll over it.
The link to your home page from your header has a full stop in it.
You've got a couple of validation errors.
And when I tested your cleaner, I got stuff like this:

body {
}


f
}


c
}


t
}


s
}


s
}


s
}


s
}


s
}


s
}


s
}

thats a lot cleaner

Hi jake3030,
It's a great idea.
Can I suggest you use something valid as the example instead of scrollbar ie proprietary properties.

Might also be worth having the option to switch between things like:
{background-image:url(image.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-color:red;
background-position: top left;}

and:
{background:url(image.jpg) no-repeat red top left;}

I like my CSS all on one line...

Really? How odd

And, the CSS cleany thing ruined my css by removing eveything and changing my class names oddly

As a petty side point - what is this "W3C - CSS2" button I see at the bottom?

Surely it's just CSS? There is nothing more annoying than a boss type comming up and asking is we've moved on to CSS2 yet or are we still using 1 - this sort of buttonage will surely just propogate this kind of question?

Yeah, like your haircut.

Ah well, count me among the oddities (as if you didn't already do that). Straight line stuff sure does infuriate the casual rip-off merchants out there. Had one actually complain that he couldn't use my code
Here's a cleany thingy that's rather fun for straight line stuff and all sorts.

You know I didn't mean ALL of my CSS on a single line don't you ?

I mean this:

#text {border:1px solid white;padding:0;text-align:left ;margin:0;line-height: 165%;}

rather than this:

#text 
{
border:1px solid white;
padding:0;
text-align:left;
margin:0;
line-height: 165%;
}

Yeah but, ah but, no but.
After test coding in a readable form, of course, then converting to one line for the live version really gets them going. There was a thread here a while ago where someone was trying to find or highlight a particular word in an almost fully straight-lined CSS file. Got into a proper knicker-twisting episode, I can tell you

You could also just hold down the return key for five minutes before pasting in your one line that really helps to confuse people, I remember thinking I was staring at a blank file before realising the twerp had started coding on line 787 :?

It's just not funny messing with the mind of the elderly

I didn't think of that... thanks

i copied that from someone's site just as an example.

hmm, that would be a good idea, basically making it an optimizer.

I saw a post that someone had some problems with the cleaner. If you can, please send me the CSS files you were playing with.

The cleaner is in the first iteration only (v.0001 )

I'm afraid it didn't produce very good results for me. It produced something similiar to what Tyssen posted.

Regarding inline CSS: If I have a selector or element with just one or two definitions I tend to put them on one line. More that that I break it up and present it vertically.

It's a cool idea. Hopefully you get the script working.

ok

4th time's a charm. I rewrote the engine and i am pretty sure it works this time.

please email me if you find any problems.

Still getting the same stuff:

w
}


h
}


p
}


t
}


v
}


c
}


f
}

w
}


h
}


p
}


t
}


v
}


c
}


f
}

DOH!!!

forgot to link the new engine on the page.

Try it now.

Much better

One thing, on the home page in FF the sample cleaned HTML

html {
	scrollbar-face-color: #99b; 
	scrollbar-arrow-color: #fff; 
	scrollbar-highlight-color: #fff; 
	scrollbar-shadow-color: #99c; 
	scrollbar-3dlight-color: #000; 
} 

Is really small compared with the other text, which actually makes it quite hard to read.

i noticed that also. I tried playing with the CSS. Maybe it's something else.

Working much better now

Would there be any chance of creating an "optimise" option, so it converts your CSS to shorthand?

yes, that will be the next step.

Prolly get around to that this weekend.
