2403 2005-10-21 12:15:32 +0000 CSS Validator fails to find embedded stylesheet in UTF-16 encoded XHTML files. 2009-02-05 11:27:33 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified CSSValidator CSS 2.0 CSS Validator PC Windows XP RESOLVED FIXED http://exiclick.com/snk/index1.htm P2 normal --- 1 ishmaeel dave.null www-validator-cvs oldest_to_newest 6840 0 ishmaeel 2005-10-21 12:15:32 +0000 It appears that the CSS validator is unable to find the stylesheet within an XHTML1.0 document, if the document is UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoded. The URL provided validates as XHTML by the markup validator but the CSS validator seems unable to locate the embedded STYLE tag. To test the case further, I tried to verify an ANSI-encoded version of the exact same file (available via the url below) . Naturally, markup validator could not even parse it ("...it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-16...") but the CSS validator was able to find the STYLE section and validate it. http://exiclick.com/snk/index.htm (The original) http://exiclick.com/snk/index2.htm (Incorrectly ANSI-encoded test file) 6842 1 bjoern 2005-10-21 13:08:50 +0000 UTF-8 works for me, UTF-16 or other ascii-incompatible encodings probably do not unless you use a XML media type like application/xhtml+xml. 6843 2 ishmaeel 2005-10-21 13:58:03 +0000 That's right, UTF8 works correctly - my bad. Apparently I haven't tested extensively with the '8' while trying to get to the bottom of the problem. 23475 3 ylafon 2009-02-05 11:27:33 +0000 Works for me (see test in utf16 http://www.w3.org/2009/02/utf16css.html )
