I was having a major problem with a site I was working on, which ran
through the validator just fine. Overall it was a problem only with
IE8, and turned out to be a problem with the pseudo-classes for the 'a'
tag. Well, technically two problems.
Could the validator be changed to giving warning when pseudo-classes are
not used in order, or when pseudo-class tags are not used correctly?
Two examples with the site I was working on:
Original code:
a:hover.tooltip span { ... }
working code:
a.tooltip:link span { ... }
a.tooltip:visited span { ... }
a.tooltip:hover span { ... }
a.tooltip:active span { ... }
The problem was that the pseudo-class should have been after the tooltip
class, and that there was no link or visited pseudo-classes prior to.
Once this change was made IE8 had no problem with it.
Would be nice to see at least a warning for it.
Thank you,
William Willis
