I know it's easy to get the CSS that is applied to a single node in HTML, using tools like the Firebug extension for Firefox, etc.
But is there a way to see all the CSS that is in effect on an entire page, or a larger fragment of HTML?
Specifically, we are cleaning up our one extremely large CSS file into smaller modules and would like to find out what CSS is used on a certain page, so we can move all the non-used CSS to another module.

Thank you all! These are the various solutions I've looked at now from your recommendations (collected here for people with the same problem):
Dust-Me Selectors (Firefox Add-on)
This does exactly what I need. Lists used and unused CSS selectors (for the current page, or the entire site, after spidering), and can dump both lists as CSV text. Great.

CSS Usage (Firefox Add-on)

WARI - Web Application Resource Inspector (Java tool)
Appears to only handle static code, not dynamically generated HTML as is present in most web applications that use ajax – which, unfortunately, makes it useless, at least for me

CSS Redundancy Checker (Ruby script, requires Rubygems and Hpricot)

TopStyle (Windows-only application, $79.95 (!!))

These are all cross-platform and free, except for TopStyle.

You can try Dust-Me Selectors, it's add-on for firefox, if you use firebug, as you stated, you may find useful CSS Usage.

As far as tools go, you could use the css usage plugin for firebug. It will analyze pages for used css.
Or were you looking for a way to do it more programmaticly?
