If you find yourself having to grab content off older websites and have to remove inline styles - or worse inline javascript! - use this code in Dreamweaver's find and replace dialog :


---- for style attribute -----
in the Find box :
(<[^>]*)style\s*=\s*('|")[^\2]*?\2([^>]*>)

in the Replace box :
$1$3

so the following
<a href="http://www.website.com" style="color:red;">Click here</a>
will be reduced to
<a href="http://www.website.com" >Click here</a>


---------
actually you could remove any tag attribute by replacing the 'style' with the name of the attribute you want to remove
