Check Browser Compatibilty  Problem with CS5.5

May 28, 2012 2:54 AM

Hi,

 

I am having problems with the Check Browser Compatibilty function, it seems to pick up the issues in an HTML file but ignores errors in CSS files.

 

I have run the check on CS4 and it work fine.

 

Example of the File

 

@charset "utf-8";

/* CSS Document */

 

h2

{

color: transparent ;

}

 

 

 

 

Should give the following error -   Unsupported value: 'transparent' ;

 

This version is running on a PC Version 11.5 Build 5344.

 

Could anyone help.

 

 

Cheers

 

Gary Coutts

    For what it's worth, W3C CSS validator is happy with it

    http://validator.w3.org/

     

     

    Valid CSS information

    @charset "utf-8";

     

     

    h2 {
    color : transparent;

     

    }

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    It was just an example, I am not even get an error from a style with a missing curly brace.

     

    I presume it must be something to do with my settings as I am sure this would have been reported before now.

     

    Cheers

    The browser compatability checker is not a validation function.  It would not be expected to find CSS or even HTML validation problems.

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    For the example:

     

    h2

    {

         color: transparent ;

    }

     

    I would expect it to give me a warning about ' an unsupported value', as shown below:

     

                   Unsupported value: 'transparent'

                   Affects: Firefox 1.5, 2.0, 3.0; Internet Explorer for Macintosh 5.2; Netscape 8.0; Opera 8.0, 9.0; Safari 2.0, 3.0

     

    This is the warning I get from Dreamweaver CS4.

     

    Cheers

    So you are really concerned about supporting these antique browsers?

    I am not concerned about these browsers, what does concern me is that I am not seeing the warning/errors in CS5.5 that I am seeing in CS4.

     

    It gives me a feeling of 'not trusting the results' when I can't explain the change in behaviour between the two versions.

     

    Cheers

    IMO compatibility checks are a complete waste of time.  I never use them because they don't tell you anything useful.

     

    What matters most is how your site performs in modern web devices -- not obsolete browsers from 10-12 years ago.
