I am working in Dreamweaver CS4 and implemented JQuery code that I found online for a gallery function. I am only using a very small part of the gallery functions available, and would like to delete the unused script in order to get more clarity and a cleaner script. But as a JavaScript beginner I can't identify what is important and what is not. My question: Is there a way in Dreamweaver to view/highlight the JS code that the site is using? I am imagining a tool that you could turn on when running the live view that would visualize the portions of code that is being used. Or, the other way round, is there a way to highlight the unused code. The live code button doesn't seem to do this. Thanks for your help!

It does not sound like you are using just jQuery because jQuery doesn't come with gallery functions. Even then, I don't believe there is a tool like that in Dreamweaver. Try checking out this other Stack Overflow thread though: [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1169889/find-unused-javascript-functions) or [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1167663/is-there-a-tool-to-remove-unused-methods-in-javascript). They recommend a few things like JSLint and other ways. – Paul Sham Mar 27 '11 at 07:20

No. You would need to use Firebug or a similar javascript tracker/debugger to see how the code is used. The most DW will tell you is which external files are linked to a page.
