Me too, but it also accepts the value auto (and inherit). So it's not completely random, just very wrong as regards to accepted values for column-width. And it's not really a spec, just a draft. The latest draft (December 2005) allows <length> and auto (presumably implying inherit as for any property), whereas the preceding drafts one (2001, 1999) allowed <percentage> as well. There was never a published draft that allowed unitless values or disallowed values with units. The W3C CSS Validator bug has been reported in September 2006: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator-css/2006Sep/0015 (I didn't find any comment on it on that list, but in principle, the people who develop the W3C CSS Validator have thus been informed.) Maybe it needs to be said that the column-width property has very limited if any support in browsers. Mozilla has the functionality, but it recognizes the property under the name -moz-column-width. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
