This sounds very interesting. I'm still terrified to even try 9 after
the MAJOR disasters it created for me. I'm still cleaning up after the

So what does DeforceCSS do and where would one find it?
Have you found away for it not to create all the gibberish in the code
with random divs, classes, and spans?
Thanks
Terri
