Can I delete the css entries I've made, but don't need, without breaking the code?
I'm working with Dreamweaver CC fluid-grid. I've had good success working in this mode and have learned a lot of tricks to maintain the integrity of my files. However, when I modify a page by removing some of the html I've created, the CSS entries that were associated with the removed html remain. After a while, these dead entries make for a much larger CSS file than need be. So, I'm inclined to want to remove them. For example:
.menu_footer {
}
#services {
}
.footerMenu {
}
These represent vestigial CSS classes and id's that populate my css file, which grows by the day. I say vestigial because, in making changes to my pages, I removed the html that caused them to be created.
And, here's the problem: My experience has been that if I try to delete them from the css file, the page I'm working on breaks. When that hapens, I have to go to my back-up files to replace the broken file with one that was backed up earlier and is in tact. This obviously wastes a lot of time. So, if there's a safe way to remove those CSS entries without breaking the fluid-grid pages, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks
