CSS validation

    Hi Tomas,
    I just ran across your theme. It looks very interesting, and very nicely constructed. You’ve also provided very nice documentation, something that’s fairly rare.

    I have a question, not really an issue. I did a quick validation of the CSS and got quite a few errors. It looks like these are mostly in 2 categories:

    • It looks to me as though many of these have to do with putting in stuff specifically for Microsoft.
    • Others appear to be for browser prefixes of more obscure browsers.

    Would that be fair to say? It’s not necessarily a deal-breaker for me, as I’m not OCD-strict about standards, but I’m mostly curious.

    Also, if I were to go through and clean out the MS and obscure browser stuff, do you have any comments on how big a deal that would be?

    Thanks, and keep up the good work,
    Dave

    Hi, thanks for trying my theme!

    As you probably read, this theme is based on default WP themes (2012+2011+2015) and Underscores.

    This gives me a confidence that if any compromises were made, it was a good ground to do it.

    As far as I remember sometimes there are custom rel values, like rel="designer" and similar cases where the data is not specified by W3C.

    As we all know HTML is a moving target, every months they change something… and every browser has their own version of HTML5 with some experimental features that might see the light in the future, or might be axed in the process.

    As I understand, in order to provide decent cross-browser compatibility, you have to use CSS hacks and workarounds, and I feel comfortable to include these extra rules to make users have more consistent experience across the browsers.

    Tomas,
    Thanks for the info. I see what you’re saying, and that makes sense.

    I think I will probably try making a site with the theme soon… it looks pretty hot. And in fact, I could experiment myself with “pruning” the CSS if I really get frisky. In any case, it appears to be working great.

    Thanks for letting us use it, I appreciate it!

    Very good,

    if you will find any unnecessary CSS I would be happy to prune it.

    Or perhaps it could be Tiny Forge Light branch ??

    Ha ha!
    Yeah, when it gets that small, how about Teeny Tiny Town framework?
