Rules
The most important rule, as far as CSS Lint is concerned, is to ensure there are no parsing errors in the CSS. Parsing errors usually mean you mistyped a character and caused the code to become invalid CSS. These errors may cause the browser to drop a property or an entire rule. Parsing errors are always presented as errors by CSSLint, the most important issues to fix.
The following rules point out potential errors in your CSS.
-
box-model: Beware of box model size -
display-property-grouping: Require properties appropriate for display -
duplicate-properties: Disallow duplicate properties -
empty-rules: Disallow empty rules -
known-properties: Require use of known properties
The following rules flag for compatibility problems across browsers and browser settings.
