CSS family names and whitespace

[casper434]

A CSS validation notes the following: Family names containing whitespace should be quoted. If quoting is omitted, any whitespace characters before and after the name are ignored and any sequence of whitespace characters inside the name is converted to a single space. Not sure what this means or how to fix. Help. thanks

I'll take a stab without seeing an example.

This is the correct:

font-family:"Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, sans-serif;

This is wrong:

font-family:Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, sans-serif;

The browser would make the font family TrebuchetMS, which of course doesn't exist.

Add the double quotes and it will pass validation and render correctly! I hope that helps and I am understanding you question properly.
