It is easy enough to check: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/propidx.html It isn't listed. > If the former, it would be nice if the validator included a warning > to say that the same is valid in 2.0 and 3.0 Possibly... But do note the abstract for the 2.1 spec though: http://www.w3.org/ TR/CSS21/cover.html "But most of all CSS 2.1 represents a "snapshot" of CSS usage: it consists of all CSS features that are implemented interoperably at the date of publication of the Recommendation." and "Some parts of CSS2 are unchanged in CSS 2.1, some parts have been altered, and some parts removed." > and give information about how to hint to browsers that one is > using CSS 2.0 or CSS 3.0. You don't. CSS is just CSS as far as browsers are concerned. I won't go into detail about how you deal with browsers not supporting some parts of some CSS profiles, other places (such as CSS-Discuss) are more suitable for that. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk/ http://blog.dorward.me.uk/
