[css-d] How Important is CSS Validation?
I'm posing this question because there are some CSS 3 properties that are in use in a wordpress plugin (sociable) stylesheet and of course it doesn't validate. There are also some proprietary opacity properties being used to target IE and older gecko browsers, which I can remove. I guess I could also remove the CSS3 opacity property as well but I actually like the effect. You can view here: http://keithkemper.net/uncategorized/the-joint-is-jumping/ hover social icons to see. What is the general consensus with regards to CSS validation? I'm really inclined to leave the opacity effect in.

What is the general consensus with regards to CSS validation? I'm really inclined to leave the opacity effect in. Validation of CSS is great for finding misspelled properties, bad values, missing semi-colons, etc, but hacks, proprietary properties, and CSS 3 stuff is fine (or even necessary) to have even though it, by definition, will not validate. Invalid CSS is not nearly as much of a problem child as invalid markup. ---Tim __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
