This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Using the background property shorthand, the declaration: background:transparent url(../images/menu_tabs.png) no-repeat -250px; Reports: Value Error : background Parse Error [empty string] But if the declaration is switched to put the horizontal position before the repeat value: background:transparent url(../images/menu_tabs.png) -250px no-repeat; the validator reports no error. But when it lists the valid CSS information, it shows the line with the repeat value first! (Like the code that it complained about.)
W3C CSS validator people, We (dorayme, Jonathan N. Little, Chris F.A. Johnson) stumbled precisely on this bug recently. We hope this parsing bug can be fixed.

So, Hardware field should be changed to All (not just Mac) OS field should be changed to All best regards, Gérard
