    good, for people who want to look at how the layouts are controlled by CSS. However, i prefer to know how exactly the code has been written, so i code it myself.

    also CSS optimisers tend to leave your code uneditable in a long line of non-wrapping text… which may take longer to do future updates on..

    just a word of warning..

    @jim callender - sorry for bothering, but saving a second, uncompressed version of your CSS for later updates and new compression shouldn’t be too much work and worth the effort for a better performance

    jim, you are right, i tested CB for my other sites before and found it may not work well at IE so make sure to double check at major browsers.

    Great gems in here! I also just made the CSS Color Extractor, where you can copy and paste CSS code, and it will visually display to you the results of the colors. Maybe useful, I hope!

    Well, you guys rock!
    Thank you so much for this list. Tried the Code Beautifier and this thing works almost perfect.

Glad to hear from you.
