Hello,
I'm glad to hear they are taking a better approach to vendor extensions.
However, even the new validator still has some other CSS3-related issues. This
rule (shortened down to a test case length):
#top-navigation ul ul {
box-shadow: 0px 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}
produced the really odd and misleading error message:
2 #top-navigation ul ul Parse Error [empty string]
Upon further testing, it appears to be choking on the use of the rgba value -
it works with hex and rgb color values (but not hsl or hsla). I have submitted
a bug to the validator people. Apparently this is a common failing - these
color values also cause problems with border color values and text-shadow,
according to the bug database. (Although in those cases, the error message is
the more meaningful "Too many values or values are not recognized" followed by
the line in question).
Hopefully this will save someone else the hour I lost to trying to figure out
what in the world that error message meant.
Thanks,
Chad Lundgren
