Anyone else getting tons of errors when checking your site on the WC3 service.

I created a 4 page html site with only typing in text and have 199 errors! Yikes

It is using V4 RC2 so maybe it's not perfected yet?

Link to the page? Can't really offer an opinion without seeing the type of errors you get.

Isn't your problem that you're trying to validate css3 against a css2.1 validation rules...

The CSS3 standard and best practises are not fully developed yet so why do you expect your css3 code to validate? I know there's a option to att parameters to the wc3 validator so that it actually attempts to validate CSS3 but even that won't give you complete cover of the current ruleset.

Thanks Kris, I guess that makes sense. The html validated OK as html5 so I assumed the css should too.

Quote :
1. Please validate on CSS level 3 2. most of the error related to the properties with vendor prefixes (-moz-, -webkit-, -o-). The vendor prefix is a proprietary function that is not w3c valid. Since Artisteer 4 supports CSS 3 these prefixes are required for some old browser versions.


Seems like Kris was correct, the whole thing is still a work in progress. The html 5 is validating which is most important.

Any advanced gurus here that can give some insight to the results would be appreciated.
