Zoom: 1 Is Not Valid CSS

Better title, please refrain from excessive punctuation or memes.

This was an effect of #132614: strange graphic placement when link wraps line. I think proper display in IE (at least 50% of most visitors) is well worth having CSS not validate. However if there's a way to get the icon to display appropriately without zoom, I'd be happy to remove it.

On top of the fact that your css is not valid!!! I'm pretty sure that you are wasting lots and lots of bandwidth by adding a 6 line .css file to every drupal site that uses your module. Even if some people do use the performance feature to pack CSS not all sites have the ability and not all Drupaler's have the know how to do this.

If everyone took your attitude that one small validation error won't matter the entire web would be impossible to view on different browsers and web browsers would be slow and clunky just so they could render some pages correctly... oh wait, Well thanks for being part of the problem!

strategictech, go harp on someone else's module. I don't want you in my issue queue. Without the CSS file this module wouldn't add any icons at all. That's why we have CSS aggregation.

Javascript, jquery included, is real good at adding css html elements... but since you don't want my help no problem! I already removed this module from all of my drupal sites except a very few clients that I will contact tomorrow and replace with one line of jquery (I never used the icon's as I have my own designers). So go make excuses and complain about someone other then me; cause two words... I'm Gone!

Oh and for anyone who stumbles on this thread:

I stopped getting random warnings and errors (related to unidentified css properties like zoom, filter) from jquery.flash.js, which up until the most recent wave of drupal updates (which included this modules latest update) never gave any error or warning. So if you are seeing similar issues with any .js I would recommend not using this module! The lack of standards compliance is just the tip of the iceberg, if an iceberg were a giant heap of garbage that is.

Oh and those tags, like standards, are there to help people; it's not like they will cease to show up when people get here! Why would you remove them?
