34: Here I have an error and a bug.
35: </p>
36: <p>
37: In first, angle are always convert in degree, and in this case, it
38: should be not. In second, the validator said 50rad == 50deg, so this
39: is a big bug.

1.2 plehegar 47: <p>slash is required after hostnames:
48: <code>http://www.w3.org/</code> instead of
49: <code>http://www.w3.org</code>
50: </p>
51: <p>
52: See <a

1.1 plehegar 58: text-align: "$";
1.2 plehegar 59: }</pre>
1.1 plehegar 60: <p>
61: The validator doesn't say "only for block-level elements". The bug
62: comes from me. I know where it is but don't have time to find a
63: solution.
64: </p>
65: </li>
66: <li>
67: <p>
1.2 plehegar 68: "application/xml+html" not supported.
69: </p>
70: </li>
71: <li>
72: <p>
1.3 plehegar 73: "iso-8859-15" not supported.
1.2 plehegar 74: </p>
75: </li>
76: <li>
77: <p>
78: XHTML user agents are required to remove comments from XHTML documents
79: before further processing, hence e.g.
80: </p>
81: <pre><style type="text/css"><!--
82: body { volume: 100% }
83: --></style></pre>
84: <p>
85: is to be ignored by those user agents. The CSS Validator
86: should give a strong warning when encountering this and ignore
87: the rules inside such comments.
88: </p>
89: </li>
90: <li>
91: <p>
92: The CSS validator will not acknowledge CSS loaded via a
93: <code><link></code> which does not explicitly declare
94: `type="text/css"', even when the server correctly serves the
95: stylesheet as text/css.
96: </p>
97: </li>
98: <li>
99: <p>
100: I have just discovered that this CSS rule, with two semicolons,
101: did not generate a warning...
102: </p>
103: <pre>h1 { margin-left: 2%; ; }</pre>
104: </li>
105: <li>
106: <p>
107: I have found something, maybe already known, The HTML
108: validator and the CSS validator can't detect this file is
109: wrong :
110: </p>
111: <p>
112: <a href='http://www.la-grange.net/2002/04/03-styleatt-wo-meta'>http://www.la-grange.net/2002/04/03-styleatt-wo-meta</a>
113: </p>
114: <p>
115: This file has a style attribute <code>style="color: green;
116: border: solid red;"</code> but no metaname specifying the
117: default stylesheet language. So by definition, the file is not
118: a valid one :
119: </p>
120: <p>
121: HTML 4.01 says in the chapter "Style Sheets in HTML documents
122: (14.2.1)":
123: </p>
124: <blockquote cite='http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/present/styles.html#h-14.2.1'>
125: <p>
126: "Documents that include elements that set the style
127: attribute but which don't define a default style sheet
128: language are incorrect."
129: </p>
130: </blockquote>
131: <p>
132: 2002-04-03 The HTML validator says the file is valid.
133: </p>
134: <p>
135: 2002-04-03 The CSS validator does not find any style and says
136: there are no errors.
137: </p>
138: </li>
139: <li>
140: <p>
141: some problem with the validator for profile = mobile:
142: attributes can not be used with mobile profile
143: </p>
144: <pre>body {
145: margin-top: 0.5em;
146: margin-bottom: 0.5em;
147: margin-left: 0.5em;
148: margin-right: 2em;
149: font-family: verdana;
150: background-color: green;
151: color: red;
152: }
153:
154: .s1 {
155: width: 10em;
156: background-color: red;
157: }
158:
159: .s2 {
160: width: 20em;
161: }
162:
163: .smalltext {
164: font-size: 0.75em;
165: }</pre>
166: </li>
167: <li>
168: <p>
169: While I was using the very useful CSS validator, I noticed
170: something strange, perhaps a little bug...
171: </p>
172: <p>
173: With the following style definition :
174: </p>
175: <pre>BODY {
176: background-position: center 90%;
177: }</pre>
178: <p>
179: I would say that this definition is wrong because I should not
180: mix "center" and a percentage.
181: </p>
182: <p>
183: But the fact is that no error or warning is reported, and
184: this is the result of the validator :
185: </p>
186: <pre>BODY {
187: background-position : null null;
188: }</pre>
189: </li>
190: <li>
191: <p>Problem with <a href='http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator-css/2002Mar/0031.html'>PHP</a>?
192: </p>
193: </li>
194: <li>
195: <p>
196: According to the element index, "transparent" as well as
197: "inherit" are legitimate colors for border-color. The CSS
198: parser gripes about it however. See <a
199: href='http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator-css/2002Mar/att-0024/00-part'>message</a>.
