What’s a Parse ERROR?

@KeveyJul 03.2007 — #It means that it encountered something that it couldn't identify, most likely due to its invalid syntax. Some of your code is invalid. If you post a link to your results we can hash it out.

@____MaNiC_MoE____authorJul 03.2007 — #Sure... Here's the code :

@KeveyJul 03.2007 — #The validator is choking on the filter:glow line. I do not think that filters are a part of the css2 specification and therefore will not validate. If you remove that line all of your parse errors disappear.

@gizmoJul 03.2007 — #Applying styles to the scroll bar is an IE thing, it is not valid W3C CSS. For the others have a read here

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/

Are you creating the styles yourself or using a program to do it automatically ?

@____MaNiC_MoE____authorJul 03.2007 — #Well, I've been learning it and have finished the basics.

The filter, scroll bar and cursor things, I learnt them from websites and the program I'm using!

@ryanbutlerJul 03.2007 — #Technically you can get around the IE scrollbar stuff and make your page validate. Wrap the scrollbar stuff inside a conditional comment for IE, all other browsers ignore it.

[CODE]
 <!--[if IE]>
 <style>
 scrollbar stuff..
 </style>
 <![endif]-->[/CODE]

@____MaNiC_MoE____authorJul 04.2007 — #Yaaaaaay! It worked ?

But it gave me 1 ERROR! (:rolleyes: )

73 Lexical error at line 73, column 3. Encountered: "[" (91), after : "<!"[/QUOTE]

What's does that mean?

@WebJoelJul 04.2007 — #

What's does that mean?[/QUOTE] Probably "[" doesn't belong where it is at (or at all). Helpful to see the line that is throwing this error. Most likely, it is just a typo.
