Hello, my name is Javier, I'm from Argentina, and I have a question for you.. I'm developing a web site, and I'd like to make a valid CSS code, as XHTML that works for all browsers. The problem, is that I want to use alpha tranparency or opacity respectively and I found that they are both not valid CSS attributes, the question is: Why if these attributes exists, and works when I use them, they are not included as valid CSS attributes on W3C CSS standard? Anyway, if you are trying to validate a CSS standard, and I add CSS attributes to my XHTML code using JavaScript once html content is loaded, you cannot validate them, and I'm making valid CSS for your CSS server side validator tool, but, really I'm supposedly not, because I'm adding supposedly "not valid" CSS attributes to my XHTML DOM objects by using client side JavaScript once page is loaded, that, off course works for all navigators, but you cannot see them beacause they are generated by a client side script. So you are making a wrong validation and I'm adding more download time to my pages just for fix this problem. I hope you guys fix this issue when you release the CSS3 standard. It is not about to use a transparent PNG to make the same effect, because explorer under its 7th version has no support for this, and 98 % of Internet users, has Explorer running on their PCs, but anyway, you know that exists little hack for this, and the whole world use it, It works, but you consider it as not valid, and that is the moment I which I say What's happening?. So, if you don't fix it, well, I'll have to made my own jQuery CSS support to avoid all these "wrong CSS attributes", that off course you wont be able to validate, but this is the Web that you're making... I think. Thank you very much. Javier. Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger! MSN Messenger
