Hi all,

I'm looking for a tool that I hope exists, and that I hope someone here might 
be able to point me too. I want to select a portion of a web page (or of the 
html behind it), and be able to copy it ALONG WITH whatever CSS rules apply to 
that section of code. I don't want the whole 1000+ lines of css that pertain to 
the page, just the 5-10-100 rules that affect the styling of that section of 
the page.

The situation: my library web page is, by university fiat, wrapped up in our 
university's overall web design (see: http://www6.wittenberg.edu/lib/ ). It's 
so complex that it's hard to extract portions of a page for reuse. I want to 
take the top part of the page and re-write it in a simplified (ie, not 1000s of 
lines on non-relevant CSS) so I can re-purpose the same look-and-feel at the 
top of our customizable external services (discovery layer, etc.) I could 
laboriously reconstruct it, but I'm hoping that something exists to help.

The "inspect element" feature built into most browsers is a start. I'm hoping 
that some tool can leverage the same technology to look at all 50 divs at the 
same time and spit out a combined pile of CSS rules that will make it all look 
ok. Does such a tool exist?

Thanks
Ken
