selector count in css
// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5228459/selector-count-in-css
// The following snippet can be run in the Firebug console in Firefox to count
// the total number of CSS selectors (not just CSS rules) and check whether
// it reaches the limit of 4095 selectors per stylesheet:
var
styleSheets = document.styleSheets,
totalStyleSheets = styleSheets.length;
for (var j = 0; j < totalStyleSheets; j++){
var
styleSheet = styleSheets[j],
rules = styleSheet.cssRules,
totalRulesInStylesheet = rules.length,
totalSelectorsInStylesheet = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < totalRulesInStylesheet; i++) {
if (rules[i].selectorText){
totalSelectorsInStylesheet += rules[i].selectorText.split(',').length;
}
}
console.log("Stylesheet: "+styleSheet.href);
console.log("Total rules: "+totalRulesInStylesheet);
console.log("Total selectors: "+totalSelectorsInStylesheet);
}
