for you php folks, here's a quick thing i whipped up this mornin' while working on a rather unrelated coding project:

source:
http://universal.graphicsdesign.org/stylesheet_preview.txt

basicly you paste a stylesheet into that, and it'll give you a complete list of the classes, formatted as the class (with the name repeated in plaintext below it)

if you want a quick stylesheet to try it out with, here ya go:
http://universal.graphicsdesign.org/example_stylesheet.txt

handy if you've got a site using quite a few styles and you just want a quick visual reference -- ugh, how many times i've had to work without a proper style guide is sick.

it's absolute crap, 30 second code, but i thought there'd be some merit to having something like this around, perhaps a bit better developed (using regular expressions rather than a billion search and replaces, formatting tag-specific classes with tiny tables and paragraph tags and stuff, changing the background color on the fly, accepting URLs as arguments, gracefully getting around any style tags present in case it's not being pasted from an actual remote .css file, etcetera.)

i should probably join relevant_group_who_gives_a_feck and just leave it at that :]



minor update

added change-background color functionality, textarea prepopulates with anything that was previously entered (handy for editing a class visually rather than having to click okay ten times to see the result in most wysiwyg editors, heh), cleaned up the firsttime landing view and added the ability to load a remote css file.

also added a quick lil user-input scrubber function, which, though it's far from flawless, should do for a quick lil' online demo:

see the demo with a preloaded css file (oh how i miss the days when globals were considered safe for everything, heh)

view that here

once i'm done my main project i'll be tempted to add at least some functionality for doin tag-specific ones, ie: H1, P, DIV B, I, TD type stuff.
