This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Not sure which version of the validator is being used. I use the botton on the page being validated. border:'2' 'groove' '#000066'; Returns this error Line: 128 Context : .TableCalender Invalid number : border '2' is not a border-color value : '2' 'groove' '#000066' Yet the documentation says 'border' Value: [ <'border-width'> || <'border-style'> || <color> ] | inherit Initial: see individual properties Applies to: all elements Inherited: no Percentages: N/A Media: visual
If you put something into ' characters, you have a string, not a keyword, color value, or length, and without the ' characters, 2 would not be valid as you have to use a length and lengths have to have a unit identifier.
It turns out that I had my syntax wrong. The error message received was not appropriate to the problem. Also, please add an example to the help that uses real values. This would have solved my problem much quicker. "||" in SQL means to concatinate together. An example like this border: 2px groove #000066; would have solved the problem much quicker. By the way I had border: '2px' 'groove' '#000066';
closing as "not a bug", even though it is acknowledged that the error message could be less confusing.
