Code:

#dhtmltooltip{
position: absolute;
width: 150px;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 2px;
background-color: blue;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:9px;
visibility: hidden;
z-index: 100;
/*Remove below line to remove shadow. Below line should always appear last within this CSS*/
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color=gray,direction=135);

.myIframe,.myIframe0,.myIframe2_R,.myIframe2_M,.myIframe3,.myIframe4,.myIframe5,.myIframe6 {
width: 730px;
height: 100px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
left: 3%;
filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(style=0, opacity=0)";
z-index: 9;
border-color: #000000;
border: 1;
}

Code:

Line: 200 Context : .myIframe, .myIframe0, .myIframe2_R, .myIframe2_M, .myIframe3, .myIframe4, .myIframe5, .myIframe6

Property filter doesn't exist : "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(style=0, opacity=0)" 

----------------------------------------------------------

Line: 181 Context : #dhtmltooltip

Parse Error - DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color=gray,direction=135);

When i try to validate my stylesheet on W3, it gives me errors on these lines above?

Is there anyway i can fix it to allow it validate?

Thanks.

The answer is in your question. It's a proprietary extension and not in the spec.

I guess you can put it in an IE specific JavaScript instead (I don't know how) but why bother?

Thanks Meow,

In the same piece of CSS, i get this error when validating. 'dhtmltooltip' is an id of a div, why wont it take the '#'?

Code:

#dhtmltooltip {
position: absolute;
width: 150px;
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 2px;
background-color: blue;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:9px;
visibility: hidden;
z-index: 100;
/*Remove below line to remove shadow. Below line should always appear last within this CSS*/
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color=gray,direction=135);
}

Line: 184 Context : #dhtmltooltip

attempt to find a semi-colon before the property name. add it

It doesn't say something is wrong with the selector. It says that's the CONTEXT where something is wrong. You still have the MS stuff in there. It will never validate with that, so you can give up trying.

I think you get the error you quote because of the double colon syntax the MS filter uses. A colon normally is after a property name followed by its value. So the validator expects a semicolon delimiter somewhere in-between the colons.
