If I write Yes, I am. That's the reason I was talking about the thing being in between Markup and CSS Validators. Probably, something else like MobileOK Checker is even better tool to include these new features, I do not know. It was just a guess that Markup Validator is the best candidate... > <p class="First"> ... </p> > > where would you expect to find a definition for "First" ? > > The only place I can think of is in a CSS file, where one > might write > > .First {text-indent : 0em} > > But it is not possible for an HTML validator to recognise that > this is a definition for a possible class "First", since to > do so would require a knowledge of the grammar of CSS as > opposed to the grammar of HTML {which is all that an HTML > validator has}. Do you see the problem ? I see an additional task (or few of them) for developers. A possible way is to extend CSS Validator so that it can show all names defined for classes, pseudo-classes etc in case of "Valid CSS" result, extend Markup Validator to show a list of used names (classes, ids etc), and create a new service in Unicorn which compares those lists and makes relevant conclusions. Regret I cannot volunteer for any of these tasks... > ** Phil. > -- Vladimir Chukharev Tampere University of Technology
