Shortening 0(unit) to 0 breaks declarations in some cases

[rinart73]

Input CSS:

textarea {
  border: 0px;
  padding: 10px 0px 12px 35px;
  transition: all 0s ease-in-out;
}

Code:

$input = file_get_contents('test.css');
$parser = new Parser();
$parser->setContent($input);
$stylesheet = $parser->parse();
echo $stylesheet;

Output CSS:

textarea {
 border: 0;
 padding: 10px 0 12px 35px;
 transition: all 0 ease-in-out
}

border and padding are valid, while transition is not. It doesn't work in browsers and doesn't pass W3 Validator. From what I can see transition properties like transition-duration and transition-delay always require unit to be present, even if the value is 0. Not sure if there are other properties like this.

this is perfectly valid, according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/length#syntax

Specifying the length unit is optional if the number is 0

"After a zero length, the unit identifier is optional." https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS22/syndata.html#length-units

Please check in real browsers. This is Chrome: Firefox:

Here is Mozilla docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/transition-delay https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/time

The <time> data type consists of a <number> followed by one of the units listed below.
Units
s - Represents a time in seconds. Examples: 0s, 1.5s, -60s.
ms - Represents a time in milliseconds. Examples: 0ms, 150.25ms, -60000ms.

Although the number 0 is always the same regardless of unit, the unit may not be omitted. In other words, 0 is invalid and does not represent 0s or 0ms.

Quantities such as length, angle can have unit omitted after 0. While time, frequency and resolution should always have unit. CSS specs are weird.

this seems like a bug to me. works perfectly fine in firefox but not in chrome based browsers

[rinart73]

It's not a Chrome bug. I tested it in Firefox too on windows. The Mozilla specification states that certain value types can't omit unit from 0. I provided links above

you are right :)
