3631 2006-08-26 00:25:20 +0000 Validator incorrectly reports validity for case of illegal escaped whitespace after property value 2008-03-17 15:04:28 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified CSSValidator CSS 2.0 CSS Validator PC Windows XP RESOLVED FIXED http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator-css/2006Aug/0029.html P2 normal --- 1 cecil dave.null www-validator-cvs oldest_to_newest 11288 0 cecil 2006-08-26 00:25:20 +0000 Test cases, checked using direct input mode, grammar CSS2 selected: Test case i) element {color:red\ ; } Test case ii) element {color:red\ } I believe that the above are illegal, if my reading of CSS 2.1 and CSS 2 is correct, yet the validator reports no error. Reasoning: the escaped space should be treated as _part of_ an _identifier_, not as a normal whitespace separator. See the productions for "ident" in CSS2 section D.2; CSS 2 only permits escapes within "ident"/"name", "string" and "url". So the property value should be an identifier "red ", which is not a valid value for the color property.

Note that for now what is displayed may seem strange, the ' ' should probably be quoted in the error output. See http://qa-dev.w3.org:8001/
