CKEditor adds html entities to inline CSS. Is the CSS still valid?

I have this piece of code:

<table style="background-image: url(path/to_image.png)">

And when I load it in CKEditor it's transformed in:

<table style="background-image: url(&quot;path/to_image.png&quot;)">

Is this still still valid CSS? Actually I'm not so interested if it's valid but if there would be any problems with any web browser or email client ( the editor is used for composing a html email ). Firefox and Thunderbird seem to be fine with it.

Anyway, using background-image: url() won't work in an email with Thunderbird. Unless they have fixed it, Thunderbird didn't show background images.

And in the rest of mail clients, the user will get a warning because the mail is trying to load external files.

It's valid, and required by the HTML standard, but it's unlikely to work in Outlook Express.

It's very valid (Actually, this is probably the only valid way to do it! Got to keep this in mind.), but I would still test it in major E-Mail clients just to make sure. As we all know, HTML support in E-Mails is abysmal.

Yes, of course it is. Attribute values don't stop being attribute values just because they contain CSS or a URL. Entities still work (and are required if the character would otherwise have special meaning).
