If the JSF allows to process the content of the stylesheets similar way as it does for html content via the <h:outputStylesheet name="..." /> reference, then we should provide all the EL functionality there as well, shouldn't we? Not just ignoring the parsing errors. I'm afraid this isn't easy to do - for .xhtml there's a special hack which creates an artificial top level mimetype and then lexes/parses the whole file, strips off the EL content and then pass the modified source to the css support. Sg. similar would be necessary for the css. A "bit" more complicated as we use CSL for the dataobject/editor stuff... I tend to switch this to an enhancement and fix it at the beginning of next cycle. Opinions? I can imagine this can be difficult to implement, I agree with changing to an enhancement. *** Bug 235052 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Is there an update on this feature ? Netbeans lacks it for a long time, but it became even more useful as, since 7.3, netbeans flags the css file and all its tree path in error in such cases.

You can try it in 7.4, there are no error badges displayed in this particular case |
The editor puts an error mark on the second line of this code snippet: .simpletablestyle th { background: url(#{request.contextPath}/image.png); } However, I believe this is valid in JSF applications; the stylesheet is used this way from facelet files: <h:outputStylesheet name="css/screen.css" /> See also this thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5847473/can-i-use-el-for-external-css-files-with-jsf and the answer by (NetBeans DreamTeam member) John Yeary.
