Our site is dynamically generated, and someone wants to change the name of a css class. before we do so, we want to find out if it's actually used--heck, we might just delete it.

If this were a small static site I could open it in dreamweaver (yes besson) and just search the code for the class. However since it's a huge site dynamically generated, there's hundreds of pages, and no "source". I don't have access to the asp files the developers use to generate the pages. (I know.)

I've used wget before, but they're pretty stodgy about allowing us use of Terminal, and it would be a pain to get it installed.

Anything like that, but with a gui? Any other suggestions? I've googled and had no luck.

SiteSucker? It can slurp down the whole site and then you can do a text search through all the documents, though if your site is really "huge" I suppose it'll take a while no matter what you use.
