Meanwhile, you’ll be pleased to know other browsers are implementing zoom too: http://cat-in-136.blogspot.com/2010/09/unofficial-css-property-zoom.html WebKit is the new Trident!
Pleased ? No. I would like browsers and rendering engines to implement exactly what the spec. requires, neither more nor less. Then /all/ of our lives would be greatly simplified. Tom Livingston wrote:
If you could get into the proprietary code to (presumably) remove the offending property, I wouldn't call that "hacking".
Well, it's hacking in the sense that when a new release comes out, I will have to retrofit my hack, which is what I was having to avoid having been bitten with that very problem today ...
But, as many have said here in other threads, the validator is a guideline, not a law. We know what the purpose of zoom is and subsequently why your code isn't validating. I personally would be able to live with that.
Mumble mumble mumble. It is not validator-compliance that I am seeking; it is W3C standards compliance, which is (sometimes) a very different kiddle of fish ... Ah well, my thanks to you both for your advice.
