 * Hi Guys.
 * I’m using this plugin and it’s great. But, I’m wondering why there are so many
   CSS parse errors when I do a CSS validation on the W3C website (close to 100)
   on my website? Most of the CSS parse errors are for the Acronix buttons. Below
   are some sample errors:
 * ————–
    229 .arconix-button-black attempt to find a semi-colon before the property
   name. add it 229 .arconix-button-black Property progid doesn’t exist : DXImageTransform
   229 .arconix-button-black Parse Error DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr
   =’#666666′, endColorstr=’#000000′); 230 .arconix-button-black Parse Error } 235.
   arconix-button-black:hover attempt to find a semi-colon before the property name.
   add it 235 .arconix-button-black:hover Property progid doesn’t exist : DXImageTransform
   235 .arconix-button-black:hover Parse Error DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(
   startColorstr=’#444444′, endColorstr=’#000000′); 236 .arconix-button-black:hover
   Parse Error } 241 .arconix-button-black:active attempt to find a semi-colon before
   the property name. add it ————–
 * Thanks
    Steve

 * Hi Steve,
 * All those errors are related to a Microsoft (shocker, I know) proprietary CSS
   property called “filter”. It is required for ie6 compatibility, but will fail
   w3c validation as it’s not officially recognized. At this point it could probably
   be removed given that ie6 has such a small marketshare, so I’ll look at doing
   that in the next release.

 * Hi John. That’s funny…I hardly ever even use Windows any more. I prefer Mac or
   Linux. One thing I know about MS after working in IT for so long is how they 
   can “customize” standards. So, no surprise about this proprietary CSS property!
   I think it would be great if you could remove it, due to the overwhelming use
   of other browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and later versions of IE. I hate seeing
   so many errors, even when the issue is not at your end 🙂 Thanks for an awesome
   plugin! BTW, is there a good guide to all the shortcodes (I looked at the wiki
   at [https://arconixpc.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1](https://arconixpc.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1))
   for the shortcodes, but need some examples using the Google maps shortcode, or
   maybe how to add your own icon for the highlight boxes?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Steve,
 * I appreciate the kind words. I’m actually in the process of re-tooling the documentation
   for [all of my plugins](http://arconixpc.com/plugins) and will be putting those
   resources right on my site. I’ll make sure to have some better examples on there,
   especially for the map shortcode since google has updated their maps system since
   the shortcode was created.
