Warning rebinding DragClientBundle - encountered '=' was expecting...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi Allan,

I'm getting the following warning, not sure if it's even a bug or not.
It happens in Quirks mode at least.
I'm using GWT 2.6.1 and gwt-dnd 3.3.3
This is on Mac (Mavericks) running in Eclipse Development mode
Using Firefox 26

The line https://github.com/fredsa/gwt-dnd/blob/master/DragDrop/src/com/allen_sauer/gwt/dnd/client/util/gwt-dnd.css#L63: filter: alpha(opacity = 30) causes the problem. It seems to be a weakness of the GWT Resource Parser because it should be valid CSS. Am I right by saying that it is only needed for IE support? If true the best solution may be to remove the alpha style. Can this be done? Would be nice!

[fredsa]

Right, that alpha filter for there IE only.

It looks like IE8 and below only support alpha filter. Once we get to IE9+ targets we could drop it.

It should be enough to wrap the alpha inside literal [1] function, i.e. filter: literal("alpha(opacity = 30)")
