mixed-case @media rules (162 bytes, text/css)

Description Ray McCord 2005-11-30 20:08:10 UTC 
The validator does not seem to recognize media type names specified in a
case-insensitive manner. For instance, the following is valid CSS:

    @media Screen { p { margin: 0; } }


Refer to: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html#x4

    "Media type names are case-insensitive."


This is observed when validating using the direct input textarea:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?text=%40media+Screen+%7B+p+%7B+margin%3A+0%3B+%7D+%7D&warning=1&profile=css2&usermedium=all


The observed response from the validator in this instance was:

Errors

URI : file://localhost/TextArea

    * Line: 1

      unrecognized media Screen

Valid CSS information

    * @media
