Fancy Box CSS does not validate. Any way around it?

[shapper]

Hello,

I am using Fancy Box in two sites but its CSS are not validated.

Is there a way to have Fancy Box working with valid CSS?

Thank You,
Miguel

yes, there is.

Could you tell me how?

I am using the latest version and my problems are mostly with code
lines as follows:
.fancybox-ie #fancybox-close { background: transparent; filter:
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='/plugins/
fancybox//fancy_close.png', sizingMethod='scale'); }

And with this particular line:
-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;

I suppose this line is related with image resizing ...

I looked this forum before and all the sugestions I found were related
to "data: ..." that should be wrapped by "data: ...".

But I suppose that was an oldest version because I don't have that on
my CSS.

Thank You,
Miguel

Well, you can move these IE specific lines to another CSS file and
include it using conditional comments, e.g.:
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="..." />
<![endif]-->

But wouldn't be possible to have Fancy Box completely validated
without hacks?

I really like Fancy Box but I need to have its CSS validated.
I tried many alternatives and I ended up concluding that Fancy Box is
the best one.

Is there, maybe another simpler CSS version that I can work on?

Thank You,
Miguel

It is stupid Internet Explorer that is requiring the "hacks". And
perhaps the validators that aren't quite smart enough.

The suggestion you were given is pretty simple. Just split the CSS file
into two, one with the MS crap and one without. Instead of loading the
just one file, load the MS stuff with a conditional, as
Janis suggested. I think he should probably package it that way, but
then SOMEONE would complain about having to put conditional comments in
their file.
