The original author of the CSS validator had stored it as "fushia". :) > (I also tried orange, which also gets accepted, and the "W3C CSS > Validator" claims that "This document validates as CSS!" with CSS > as a link to the CSS 2 specification, thereby claiming that a style > sheet that does not conform to the CSS 2 specification "validates" > as CSS 2.) This is something I have noticed recently, too. Added to http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4090 so that we can track and fix it. > (I think the misleading text "Invalid number" in error messages has > been reported earlier several times, so I guess it's an unfixable > bug. :-) ) Most problems don't go away if you formulate them. Even repeatedly. :) We've got much more resources and staff time to work on the CSS validator lately, but even then, bugs would be fixed faster if we could get even more participation (patches etc.) from the community of users of the validator, which, I remind everyone, is open source... Thanks. -- olivier
