An exceptional tool. However, both the old and the new version I noticed that not very well kobinuje jquery-1.4.2 and jquery.coda-slider-2.0 I do not know why. Also, do not support the complete combination jquery.lavalamp. Has anyone had a similar experience?

If you use ASP.NET, have a look at this:

I would like to suggest another tool to minify / compress javascript: http://jscrambler.com

It is a online tool so no installation is required. When considering only javascript it achieves much better compression than minify. It has an additional set of features not related with compression ex: obfuscation and domain lock…

That said, it still doesn’t process CSS its only processes javascript.

There is another web tool to minify, merge, and compress your CSS/JS code – Web Optimizer ( http://code.google.com/p/web-optimizator/ ). It’s also free and more powerful than Minify.

I am so happy I found webappers! Minify will be a great addition to my development process.

FAYI

Minify retains /*! comments such as this */. It works like a charm.

Also it applies prefixes to CSS URLs too – I am yet to see this in action, a great idea. And plans are underway to intergrate into apache and bypass php altogether.

@Angelo – there is a cssTidy php class
csstidy.sourceforge.net/usage.php

Its nice to be able to use minify to crush n’ combine both (into sets a single script and sheet)

@Dreur – YUI can’t be used on-the-fly

I think the next step is to allow minify to retain License comments. EG swfobject, dojo, jquery etc so that License stipulations are adhered to and http requests reduced to minimum.

We’ve tried CSSTidy here in the office and we love it. We have been looking for something similar for PHP and we’ll give minify a try. thank for this.
