That's not in reset.css, it's from fonts.css. It's also not the High Pass
filter - see here for an explanation:

If you're worried about it, extract the IE-only code out of the file and
wrap it in conditional comments.

[WSG] High-Pass Filter and Yahoo's reset stylesheet (question regarding validation)
Was just wondering. I always use Yahoo's reset.css file to reset elements, but I have just noticed there is a CSS parse error in it (purposely put there for browser selecting). I used the reset.css file in a web development assignment at uni and am worried that I will lose marks. The marking guide says to get an A you must have no CSS errors, but do you think in this case exceptions could be made? Also the High-Pass filter flags a CSS 'File Not Found' error because it uses null as a filename. I used this to target IE 5 and below so they recieve no CSS document. There are 2 errors within the document, should these be classed as errors to degrade my final mark? I have documented them in my test plan to show they are not missed errors but I'm not sure what they will think of it. Any help would be great.

Re: [WSG] High-Pass Filter and Yahoo's reset stylesheet (question regarding validation)
Dude, I didn't say that was the high pass filter. I said that was the error
in the reset.css. The high pass filter is a different issue unrelated to the
Yahoo
reset stylesheet.
Also, if you look at the source code for reset-min.css you will see it isn't
nothing to do with the fonts stylesheet and is infact in the reset-min.css
stylesheet.
Check it yourself. You will see I'm correct ;)

That's weird (and a bit crap of Yahoo!) - it's in the reset-min stylesheet, but not in the plain view version of the stylesheet shown on the main YUI Reset page. Guess they haven't updated all the different places it appears as they have added bits. - Matthew *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
