nsStyleUtil::AppendEscapedCSSIdent basically does what's specced here, except it will escape U+0000 as "\0 " instead of throwing.

I'd say we just use it as-is for now; I don't see the point of throwing on U+0000.

This is a good simple bug for someone to get their feet wet....
Whiteboard: [mentor=bz][lang=c++][good first bug]
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
The point is that \0 is no longer a valid escape, so that it's not possible to introduce nulls into CSS strings or identifiers.  Seems simple enough to add a boolean to the function to tell it whether to throw on nulls or not.
In that case, is there a use for the "non-throwing" behavior?  We could just add a boolean return value, true for no nulls, false for null encountered, and ignore it at all the current "we know there is no null" callsites, instead of adding an argument.
Yeah, that works too, and still doesn't presume confidence that there are no nulls.

Those seem to require some sort of "assert" module that's not in the repo, right?   Might be nice to have them use the W3C testharness instead.

Yeah, the built-in `assert` module that ships with Node.js: http://nodejs.org/api/assert.html

> Might be nice to have them use the W3C testharness instead.

That would be fairly trivial to do:

1. `s/assertEquals/assert_equals/g`;
2. Rewrite the few instances of `assertThrows` to match the testharness `assert_throws` signature.

How about "success" instead?  The boolean is _not_ true when something null, after all...

Need to document the return value.

Please just remove that comment.  I don't think it's adding anything here...

"Returns false if aIdent contains U+0000." perhaps?

r=me with those fixed as long as you'll fold all these patches together before pushing, but you still need to address the review comments on layout/style/CSS.h.

The string passed in here should say something about what the particular subtest is testing.  Same thing for the various is() calls.

> +is(CSS.escape(true), 'true',"escapingFailed");

Need space after comma before last argument.  Same elsewhere in this file.

Still needs space after the second comma here.  See comment 20.

Glad to see you used my tests (https://github.com/mathiasbynens/CSS.escape/blob/master/tests/tests.js) for this :)
Oh, I'd missed that the tests were not original.  Mathias, are you OK with them being used here, copyright-wise?  If they're covered by the same MIT license as the rest of that repo, we need to put that license notice in...

A simple comment mentioning the URL for the original tests or the GitHub repo (as was done here: http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/2411714cd058) would be nice, but either way I’m fine with it. Glad I could help!

> To escape a character means to create a string of "\" followed by that character.

This isn't quite right, it can also be followed by the hex number for the Unicode code point (and it has to if the character you want to escape is e.g. "1").

> CSS.escape("()[]{}")          // "\(\)\[\]{}"

The {} will be escaped also.

> CSS.escape('--a')             // "-\-a"

This is correct now but css-syntax changed to make it a valid ident (for custom properties); CSSOM hasn't been changed to reflect that yet (I filed a bug).
Simon has updated the spec.
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25426

The implementation should be updated too.

You should always file a new bug for that. I went ahead and created Bug 1008719. If you can, please describe specific differences between this implementation and the spec in Bug 1008719. Thanks!
