'Border' declarations with extra term (1.10 KB, text/css; charset=UTF-8)
2004-10-05 01:49 UTC, Etan Wexler 		Details

Description Bj 2003-08-07 10:20:24 UTC 
The validator does not report errors for

a {
   border: thin dashed 1pt white;
}

and produces an odd valid style sheet. See

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?text=a+%7B%0D%0A++border%
3A+thin+dashed+1pt+white%3B%0D%0A%7D&warning=1&profile=css2&usermedium=all

And see

for details.

'Border' declarations with extra term

The extra term for each declaration is a <border-color>, <border-style>, or
<border-width>. Each declaration has 4 terms.
Comment 3 Etan Wexler 2004-10-05 06:48:40 UTC 
A non-null "usermedium" query parameter is required to produce the faulty
parsing. Contrast:

<http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?text=a%7Bborder%3A1pt+1pt+none+red%7D&usermedium=all>
(which accepts the invalid style sheet)

...versus...

<http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?text=a%7Bborder%3A1pt+1pt+none+red%7D>
(which raises an error about the style sheet).
