CSS Checker parse error

[charlesroper]

I get a parse error (Parsing error in block "#header h1") on the following CSS:

Code: Select all

#header h1 {
	background: transparent url(/images/master/logo.png) no-repeat;
	line-height: 64px;
	margin: 0 0 8px 0; padding: 0;
}

If I change the url to ../images/master/logo.png (note the two dots), I no longer get the error. The original is a valid url, so is this a bug in the checker?

The CSS seems to be fine. What kind of validator did you use?

I tried built-in CSS validator and it returned no errors. W3 CSS validator is a third party tool, so we can not help with that.

Weird, you're right, no errors are returned when that rule is pasted into a stylesheet on its own. However, I'm definitely getting the error when it's sitting within my main stylesheet. What's odd is that other url values within the stylesheet get parsed fine, it's just this one and one other, both of which are fine when I add the two dots. I can send you my stylesheet if you like?

I'm using the CSS Level 2 checker, but the problem occurs on all of them. I'm not using the W3C validator at all.

validates fine at the w3c too. where did you get the parsing error?

I've seen IE be a bastard if you don't use all the fields in the background declarations shorthand. Meaning, if you dont also use left/right and top/bottom positioning as part of the declaration.

like:

Code: Select all

   background: transparent url(/images/master/logo.png) 0 0 no-repeat;

The stylesheet can be reached here if you want to test it:

The developer who wrote the built-in CSS checker will take a look.

Thanks for the test file.
There was a bug indeed, which has been fixed and the fix will be included in the next update.
