Question

I use Aptana Studio 3 for my web development, and I love it except for a few small gripes. One of these gripes is that Aptana decides to treat some CSS parameters as invalid, marking them with a big red X on that line of code. This is helpful when the error is really an error, but some parameters that are perfectly valid but not a part of the w3 spec (cursor: none, for example) get flagged as invalid.

I would just ignore these errors, but as in any other eclipse variant, an error anywhere in a project results in the whole project marked as having errors. Then I get warnings whenever I try to publish it, which I ignore. This is both annoying and risky– I could be ignoring a real warning by accident.

Is there any way to suppress specific errors in Aptana/Eclipse, or perhaps to suppress all CSS errors globally?

Failing that, does anyone know a w3-valid alternative to cursor: none; that hides the mouse when it hovers over an element?

You can add filters for CSS errors, or turn off CSS validation altogether. Please see here for more information:

1. Go to Preferences > Studio > Validation
2. Click on the CSS node
3. Add or edit options as appropriate
