[css-d] Jigsaw validator
I don't understand what the validator is telling me.
My css:
div#header {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 90px;
background: white url(../images/cont-bl.gif) bottom left no-repeat;
z-index: 0;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
What jigsaw says:
83 div#header Value Error : background Too many values or
values are not recognized : white url(../images/cont-bl.gif) bottom
left no-repeat white url(../images/cont-bl.gif) bottom left no-repeat
Why does jigsaw give the values twice?

Re: [css-d] Jigsaw validator
It may want you to have everything in the exact order. For the
background shorthand the technically correct order would be:
background: #fff url('../images/cont-bl.gif') no-repeat bottom left.
So it may have arrived at your position properties and assumed that
was the end and didn't expect any other properties to follow.

Re: [css-d] Jigsaw validator
Nope. The order in this case is ignored. Even the color value is regognized as a valid CSS 2.1 color value. If all browsers apply the rule, then the validator is wrong. Token order in shorthand notation is not so fixed. Please report this problem to the validator maintainers. Maybe something in the construction of the parse tree should be reformulated. bye ;-) http://www.css-zibaldone.com http://www.css-zibaldone.com/test/ (English) http://www.css-zibaldone.com/articles/ (English) http://dev.css-zibaldone.com/ (English) __ 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/
Re: [css-d] Jigsaw validator
I'm not sure what's going on when you run the validator, but your CSS
entered into Jigsaw's direct input form correctly reports that your CSS is
valid CSS 2.1 and/or CSS 3.
I don't understand what the validator is telling me.
My css:
div#header {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 90px;
background: white url(../images/cont-bl.gif) bottom left no-repeat;
z-index: 0;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
What jigsaw says:
83 div#header Value Error : background Too many values or
values are not recognized : white url(../images/cont-bl.gif) bottom
left no-repeat white url(../images/cont-bl.gif) bottom left no-repeat

Re: [css-d] divs dropping
http://www.copywritecolombia.com/index3.html Thank-you David that has sorted out the dropping divs. In firefox and ie the white centre div wrapper which contains the footer now seems to go right to the bottom of the page. If I change the text size +2 then the design doesn't break which is great. However if I get rid of styles then it does break. What -if any-solution exists?

My question is if there any way I can make this html better? We usually don't deal with HTML as such here on css-d. We focus on CSS styles / CSS styled HTML. OTOH: we don't mind having a look at your HTML if you want it arranged in a certain way in order to be able to style it in a certain way. First you have to explain what you mean by make this html better. As it is: without styles it gets presented in a linearized way - pretty much the same as looking at the source code but without the HTML tags. Nothing you can do about that. You can however change the order of elements and sections in the HTML source code, and try to re-style it so it gets presented in a way you find more acceptable both with and without styles. So, tell us exactly what you mean, and want, and we can at least _try_ to help - if at all possible. regards Georg __ 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/

Your question might be better asked on another list as CSS-D deals primarily with the practical application of CSS rather than HTML markup. However, some of your extremely long selector names such as this one -- #wrapperLogoNavigationinside -- wiil be more efficient if shortend. And while the software (browsers) understand the all uppercase rulesets in your CSS file, from a human standpoint all lowercase might be better and easier to understand.
