Iconico has a utility called WEB TOOLS PRO, that allows extensive examination of all parts of parsed html pages that will show tags, styles, etc. etc.  If you want to do an analysis of webpages for coding elements, this program is perfect!

If you're designing in Firefox, then the Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug are indispensible.

Safari 3 will have a debug menu that can be enabled thusly:

1) add IncludeDebugMenu in C:\Documents and Settings\Your Username\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\Preferences.plist (Safari for Windows)

2) type "defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1" into the terminal window when Safari isn't running (Safari for Mac)

Note Safari 3 is still in beta and certainly does have bugs. Lots of bugs.

I would like an empty CSS-file for 1.5 templates :)

I would like a whole CSS description of which classes and ID's are used and the definitions used in Admin and FrontEnd (for your base templates) so that we can do something great without having to use the commercial templates or others... but design from scratch ourselves :).

It strikes me that the requests of both Milka and Gadensgaard can be filled by simply picking up the default CSS files and editing out all the CSS. 15 minutes with a good text editor? 30 seconds with perl or other grep-based tool?

The problem with it is that, now that template overrides are here, there is no such list. The problem is that template overrides let you rename the classes/ids with a convention that makes more sense to you. (This, BTW, is one of the features I like the most about 1.5. At last, no more 'contentpaneopen's scattered through the code, no more 'moduletable' untables!)

The grep you're looking to simplify it with is:
Code:
\{[^}]+}


Use that as the search term and {} as the replace term, and you'll strip a CSS file bare in a trice.
