Stylebuilder is not showing any predifined styles and hence code completion is also not working for css.

This defect renders the stylebuilder useless in NB 7.1! So this needs to fixed at a priority!

Raising the priority. This issue needs to be fixed on an urgent basis as this is making one feature of IDE practically unusable!

>"Stylebuilder is not showing any predifined styles" 
can you please elaborate this a bit? What do you mean?

"Stylebuilder is not showing any predifined styles and hence code completion is
also not working for css."
There's no relation between the SB and code completion so I assume you are talking about editing a source which is not properly parsed so most of the features like coloring, completion and the SB don't work.

In such case I need to look at the edited file itself or I need a code sample to be able to reproduce.

Thank you in advance.

There was a syntax error on one line of css file. Due to this, all the selectors and code after that line was not being highlighted and code completion was also not working. But this should not be the case. It should ignore the error line and work for rest of the selectors.

Thank you for the confirmation. Now please add a sample code which causes such unrecoverable parsing error.

h1 {color:#ee1b6a; font-size:14px; margin:0; padding; 0px 0px 3px 0px;}

This code causes the issue! There is an error in this code. Instead of colon, a semi-colon has been put inadvertendly. This line shows an error an lines after this code are not parsed properly.

I confirm this bug exists as of 7.1 and should be corrected. Sometimes we need to introduce css hacks for IE which are in fact invalid css declarations, so Netbeans should allow that. Example:

#wrapper {
	position: relative;
	width: 980px;
	margin: 0 auto;
	min-height: 100%;
	height: auto !important;
	height: 100%;
	#z-index: 200;  /* For IE7 z-index bug */
}

#header {
	height: 96px;
	min-width: 980px;
	position: relative;
	background: url('../images/header-bg.png') white bottom repeat-x;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #CDCDCD;
}

Anything below #z-index: 200; loses syntax highlighting and the navigator is blind to that content, too. This worked fine in netbeans 7.

It's great that an error is highlighted but it shouldn't stop parsing the rest of the document.

I should point out that in my example above the bug is triggered when the #z-index line is followed by spaces and a comment. Without the comment there is no problem. But even if I don't use any comments and I change the order of lines some problems appear, however less serious:

#wrapper {
    position: relative;
    width: 980px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    min-height: 100%;
    #z-index: 200;
    height: auto !important;
    height: 100%;
}

#header {
    height: 96px;
    min-width: 980px;
    position: relative;
    background: url('../images/header-bg.png') white bottom repeat-x;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #CDCDCD;
}

Here the two lines after #z-index get wrong highlighting and the #header line is also highlighted improperly. But all the code that follows is highlighted well.

I also confirm that the code by shuklasp triggers the bug in the serious way - turns off highlighting of all the code below.

fixed in web-main#4491e3506ec0 (for the listed cases (error in s rule)

the code samples from this issue related to the problem works fine. verifying so I can put it into 7.1patch (Feb 13th deadline)
