Inline data in CSS marked as invalid?

[Michael Heuberger]

Hello guy

Sorry but something seems to be wrong with the CSS 2.1 Validator.

The inline data is marked as invalid. But it's done properly regarding the CSS specification. For background images I am using url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoA... to reduce the number of requests.

But the validator says following:
- Value Error : background attempt to find a semi-colon before the property name. add it
- Value Error : background Parse Error null
- Property data doesn't exist : image/png

Can you confirm me if this is a bug or not?

Cheers

Michael

Try using url("data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoA...");

using separators triggers the "function(ident)" instead of URI. SOmething
we indeed need to look at.

Hi Yves

Thanks! That's true, with the semicolons (") it works like a charm!

Cheers
