can a css line contain multiple colons?

Question

I am writing a Python module that will be doing some css manipulations and modifications. As of my knowledge, the css template is: ``` selector{ property:value; } ``` my question is, is there any instance where `value` contains a colon? The reason for this is that I want to split the lines inside selectors by a colon and essentially grab the property and the value, but if the value has a colon in it, then the entire function will manipulate the css incorrectly.

Accepted Answer

Yes.

If you specify a filter (IE) it contains a second colon.

Example:

```
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#fad59f', endColorstr='#fa9907')
```

Any CSS property that takes a url could easily contain `http:`

Example:

```
background-image: url("http://example.com/image.jpg");
```
