Ignore CSS Properties
(Pro, Std, Lite)

If there is a CSS property that you want to ignore, then you can program CSE HTML Validator to ignore it if you are using the professional edition (New v8.0).

For example, let's say you want to ignore a CSS property named "ignore-this". To tell CSE HTML Validator to ignore this property, follow these steps:

1.Go to Options->Configuration Editor->Programs tab.

2.Select the Functions radio button.

3.Find the onUnknownCSSPropertyMessage() function (or create one if it doesn't exist--but the function should exist if you are using a v8.0 configuration file).

4.Add the following code:
if matchNoCase($oucpm_property,"ignore-this") {
 #oucpm_msgflags=0;
 setValueString(12,$oucpm_property);
}

5.If you want to add more CSS properties to ignore, then add them to the end of the parameters of the matchNoCase() function, separating each string with a comma. Example: matchNoCase($oucpm_property,"ignore-this","ignore-this-too")

6.Use Save Config As to save the configuration file with the new changes to a new filename so it is not overwritten at the next update. Set CSE HTML Validator to use this new configuration file as the default configuration in the Validator Engine Options. You may be asked to set this automatically when you save the configuration file.

You can also display your own message when an unknown CSS property is encountered. See the Special Functions section of the Tag Name Programming Language topic for more information about the onUnknownCSSPropertyMessage() function.
