Hi,

Is there a feature in Dreamweaver 2015 to determine if I have a css style assigned but it is not defined?

Thanks

It's not something I've ever seen in the program before.

I've used the Firefox Dust-Me Selectors add-on in the past when I needed to find that kind of info, and it seemed to work pretty well.

Dust-me is the exact opposite of what I'm after - it finds styles which are defined but unused.  I'm looking for used styles which are undefined!!

I would have thought this would be quite a useful feature for DW.  Saves using styles which are undefined and the pages not presenting properly.  Easily missed when you have a large number of styles or a large webpage.

How do you manage to use styles that are not already defined in your CSS code?

My workflow is to use Available Classes from Code Hints and/or the HTML Properties Panel.  In other words, if it's not defined anywhere in my CSS, it's not an available option.  See screenshots.   I'm using Bootstrap CSS in this example.
