Why is this not validated?

[shapper]

Hello,

Sometime ago I found some CSS code for a form.

It includes the following:

..Form input.CheckBox, .Form input.RadioButton
{
font: normal 100% verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
margin: 0px 2px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px;
vertical-align: text-bottom;
margin: expression("-1px -1px 0px 0px"); /* IE-Only property */
vertical-align: expression("middle"); /* IE-Only property */
}

The last lines are not validated. What is wrong?
I believe the code lines are related to correct align the CheckBox and
RadioButtons in relation to their labels.
In fact it is common to see a check box not aligned vertically with
its label.

Anyway, could someone help me in solving this?

Thanks,
Miguel

You've given the answer to your question in the CSS comments! An IE-
only property is inherently incapable of being valid against the W3C
standard; it's something designed by Microsoft to work only on their
own software.

The comments say it all. They are IE only properties and are not part of the
specification. The validator validates to the specification.

Anyway, could someone help me in solving this?

Remove them? They only work in IE anyway, and even then only with javascript
turned on.

Ok.

I just thought there was a way to go around this.

Well, there are a couple: ignore the lack of validation, since you
already know that these are properties unique to IE, and therefore
not part of the CSS specification. Or, you could remove them and
live without them. Finally, you could add them using a conditional
comment in your html page, so that only IE is aware that they exist.
