W3C Validation #6

Closed mgifford closed 13 years ago

mgifford commented 13 years ago

I'm in the middle of blogging about this neat tool. Decided to validate it using the W3C - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ - it tosses out 9 errors based on: https://github.com/redroot/holmes/raw/master/holmes.css

Probably worth fixing up at some point. This is a great demonstration of the power of CSS3 though!

Good call, I'll get on this what I get back from work, cheers again.

Never mind started already. Still getting 4 error that I can't quite work out, Parse Error [empty string]. Its got me stumped, I'll love again when I get back from work, any ideas?

The W3C validation errors often are a bit. Is there an extra comma at the end?

Elpie commented 13 years ago

The W3C Validator throws a Parse Error [empty string] error when it encounters star hacks,( i.e. *) IF you use the option of the validator scanning the file by URI. If you go to the validator and test by direct input it validates just fine. This is a validator bug.
