http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3633 Summary: Validator incorrectly reports validity for case of escaped close-quote which leaves quoted string unterminated Product: CSSValidator Version: CSS Validator Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: CSS 2.0 AssignedTo: ot@w3.org ReportedBy: cecil@cecilward.com QAContact: www-validator-cvs@w3.org Test case checked using direct input mode, grammar CSS2 selected: Test cases : element { background-image: url("myimage\") ; } element { background-image: url('myimage\') ; } selector { font-family: "MyFont3\", Serif; } I believe that the above examples are all illegal, if my reading of CSS 2.1 and CSS 2 is correct, yet the validator reports no error. Reasoning: the escaped quote mark should be treated as _part of_ an _identifier_, not as a closing string quote. See the productions for "string1"/"string2" and "url" in CSS2 section D.2.
