(Other) How to configure the output format of the W3 CSS Validator

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:53:08 GMT

The W3 CSS validator is pretty simple to [install locally for use behind the firewall](http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FlymakeCSS). However, by default the validator spits out the whole CSS file after validation, which is inconvenient if your stylesheet is more than a few lines long. Unfortunately it's not so obvious how to configure the validator to give pretty-printed, human-readable output. In fact, all there is to it, is to choose a different output format from the several that are supported :) By default the validator .jar file gives you "text" output, which includes the stylesheet. To choose a different format, invoke the validator .jar file with an -output argument, like this: java -jar css-validator.jar -output local-file:foo.css where `` is any of xhtml, xml, text, soap12, json, ucn or gnu If you just want the errors as (html-escaped) plain text, but without the CSS included, use `gnu`

## List of commonly used `wait_for` commands For convenience, here are direct links to the documentation of the Selenium-Ruby `wait_for` commands that are most often used. The [documentation of WaitFor commands in Selenium Core](http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-core/1.0.1/reference.html#waitForCondition "WaitForCondition entry in the docs for Selenium Core 1.0.1") may also be of interest. 0.

[`wait_for_text `](http://selenium-client.rubyforge.org/classes/Selenium/Client/Extensions.html#M000259) ## Where to find the documentation More information on`wait_for` with the Ruby client, including a complete list of the `wait_for` commands available in the Ruby client, is to be found in the [documentation for the Selenium-Client Ruby Gem.](http://selenium-client.rubyforge.org/ "selenium-client is the official Ruby driver for Selenium RC") As Selenium-Client defines many "idiomatic" Ruby aliases for built-in Selenium methods, it will probably be especially helpful to become familiar with the [Selenium Ruby driver command set](http://selenium-client.rubyforge.org/classes/Selenium/Client/GeneratedDriver.html) as well as Selenium-Client's [Idiomatic Ruby command set.](http://selenium-client.rubyforge.org/classes/Selenium/Client/Idiomatic.html) It may also be helpful to refer to the [documentation for Selenium Core](http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-core/1.0.1/reference.html#waitForCondition "WaitForCondition entry in the docs for Selenium Core 1.0.1") with regard to `WaitForCondition` and related commands. In general the **Selenium Core documentation** tends to provide more insight into how commands work, than does the documentation for any of the drivers. ## Examples Below are a couple of examples of using Selenium's `wait_for` family of commands with the [Ruby driver (Selenium-Client).](http://rubyforge.org/projects/selenium-client/ "Selenium Client Ruby Gem at RubyForge") One item of note is that , within `wait_for_condition`, one does *not* need to use `this.browserbot.getCurrentWindow()` to access the DOM of the AUT
