Re: [css-d] Fwd: Re: Vendor-specific extensions: warnings, not errors

[Lundgren, Chad]

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

Re: [css-d] Background bullet for paragraphs

You can control the size of background images: that is what the 
background-size property is for. Supported by Gecko 1.9.2 (Fx 3.6). WebKit 
(Safari 5+, recent Chrome) Opera 10.5 +. Probably IE 9beta, although I can't 
test that one.

I tested with IE9 Beta and it does support multiple background images and 
background-size. IE9 uses the official tag, eg, background-size. 

Now if IE9 would just add CSS3 gradients and text-shadow before shipping. Am I 
the only one who is miffed those are missing?
