Is it possible to run CSSLint from WSH on Windows?

Question

There's a CSSLint project on github. It appears to be philosophically inspired by the JSLINT/JSHINT project. It's a JavaScript program that checks the syntax of CSS files, and throws errors or warnings.

There are versions for Rhino and Node. How can I run it from Windows Script Host?

Answer 1

Get the version of csslint that is modified for use with WSH.

It works like this:

C:\dev\html>cscript c:\bin\csslint-wsh.js --format=compiler style\basic.css

CSSLINT
