I recently came across two niggling CSS errors:
1)
body { background: url('image.gif')no-repeat top }
Here, the coder has left no whitespace after the URL in the shorthand
"background" declaration.
Firefox is OK with it, IE doesn't display the image.
2)
#right navbar {width:400px;}
Here the coder meant #right_navbar but missed the underscore. Obviously
it doesn't work.
The thing is, the W3 CSS validator passes them both. It even *fixes* the
missing space in the first example and displays it like this:
body {
background : url('image.gif') no-repeat top;
}
The second case is a little more complex, because logically, anything
which isn't a class or an id should be an HTML tag. And there's no HTML
tag "navbar". Yet. So that can't be valid CSS for any valid HTML
document.
Should I report this to someone?
