ADE css parsing aborts at first hint of trouble

Hi,

I just wanted to confirm what you are said above. I have tested my Sony PRS-600 (ADE) and found that the ADE software is in no way robust to even the smallest error in css.

As you said, even an extra { or typo will cause the whole thing to abort and it basically then ignores the css.

Does anyone know of a standalone css validator that can detect errors / typos in a css file?

Thanks,
