Drupal CSS Analysis

sime - April 6, 2006 - 07:40

I wanted a complete list of classes and IDs in Drupal, so I did some analysis. You can find the results here:
http://urbits.com/_drupal/content/20060406/drupal_article01.php

Three reports:

Frequency of Classes in Drupal CSS
Frequency of IDs in Drupal CSS
Drupal CSS Classes and IDs in Context

These three reports are what I have been looking for to develop a clean style-sheet from scratch, but you may want to download the raw data for your own analysis. It's there if you want it.

Regards
Simon

Simon, thanks for sharing your time and work. This makes a very interesting read.

FYI, there is a small glitch in the display of this row of data, on the 'classes report' page:

.block-search

It looks like a tag element's ending is missing, as this displays in the 'total' column (right after the class name):

class="total"2

HTH, and thanks again.

Thanks. MS Excel. I used to do a lot of data analysis, so I used some tricks.

I don't know about the handbook, maybe. I think data is getting out of date now, especially with core splitting up the css into separate files. Also the real interesting themes now are Garland/Zen which aren't represented here.

site isn't working....

No update, it's getting pretty old but might be interesting still. Here's a link to the orginal files.
