BUG: style.map() not compatible with CSS string "url(data:..."

[invalidarg]

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd
print(pd.__version__) # 2.2.2

# Creating toy data
data = {
    "country": [ "Canada",  "Denmark"],
    "number": [ 200, 400]
}

def flag_background(country):
    if country == "Denmark":
        return """background-image: url('data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" id="flag-icons-dk" viewBox="0 0 640 480"><path fill="%23c8102e" d="M0 0h640.1v480H0z"/><path fill="%23fff" d="M205.7 0h68.6v480h-68.6z"/><path fill="%23fff" d="M0 205.7h640.1v68.6H0z"/></svg>');"""
    elif country == "Canada":
        return "background-color: red"
        

df = pd.DataFrame(data)
print(
    (
    df
    .style
    .map(flag_background)
    ).to_html()
)

### css in output is broken:
# #T_b3ead_row1_col0 {
#   background-image: url('data;
# }


#### But set_table_styles() works!

print(
    df
    .style
    .set_table_styles([
          {
              'selector': '.col0', 
                'props': 
                    [('background-image', '''url('data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" id="flag-icons-dk" viewBox="0 0 640 480"><path fill="%23c8102e" d="M0 0h640.1v480H0z"/><path fill="%23fff" d="M205.7 0h68.6v480h-68.6z"/><path fill="%23fff" d="M0 205.7h640.1v68.6H0z"/></svg>')'''), ('background-size', 'contain'),('background-repeat', 'no-repeat'),('background-position', 'center')]
         }
    ])
    .to_html()
)

### css in output is OK:
# #T_106ed .col0 {
#   background-image: url('data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" id="flag-icons-dk" viewBox="0 0 640 480"><path fill="%23c8102e" d="M0 0h640.1v480H0z"/><path fill="%23fff" d="M205.7 0h68.6v480h-68.6z"/><path fill="%23fff" d="M0 205.7h640.1v68.6H0z"/></svg>');
#   background-size: contain;
#   background-repeat: no-repeat;
#   background-position: center;
# }

Issue Description

I am tring to add SVG flags to each country but styler breaks css values with url(data:...

The CSS string returned by the function in style.map must be

property : value ; property2 : value ;

But there is valid CSS that does not follow this pattern.
e.g. this is valid CSS:
background-image: url('data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" id="flag-icons-dk" viewBox="0 0 640 480"><path fill="%23c8102e" d="M0 0h640.1v480H0z"/><path fill="%23fff" d="M205.7 0h68.6v480h-68.6z"/><path fill="%23fff" d="M0 205.7h640.1v68.6H0z"/></svg>');

The problem is that pandas finds two consecutive colons : is will replace the second with semicolon ; and then truncate. I.e. the resulting HTML will be

background-image: url('data;

Expected Behavior

Let me input any valid CSS string. Remove validation / truncation since it is not compatible with valid CSS strings.

[Lollitor]

Hello, this is one of my first times contributing. I noticed that it was still necessary to check if the bug existed on the main branch, so I ran the code that reproduces the bug on the main branch.

While using .map() I get the following

<style type="text/css">
#T_7aa42_row0_col0 {
  background-color: red;
}
#T_7aa42_row1_col0 {
  background-image: url('data;
}
</style>

However, I get the correct output when using set_table_styles() as reported. Therefore, I can confirm that the bug also exists on the main branch.

\pandas> git branch --show-current
main

I hope this is somehow helpful. I see if I manage to do more!

Possible reason to revive: #48869

[attack68]

This behaviour is due to the function maybe_convert_css_to_tuples. Note the discussion that shared link.

[invalidarg]

Thanks attack68 for pointing to the correct direction. A patch to maybe_convert_css_to_tuples would help until (or instead) full fledged CSS parsing is in place?

Basically taking all remaining elements of the x.split(":")-list instead of only the second.

def maybe_convert_css_to_tuples(style: str) -> str:
    """
    Convert css-string to sequence of tuples format if needed.
    'color:red; border:1px solid black;' -> [('color', 'red'),
                                             ('border','1px solid red')]
    """
    if isinstance(style, str):
        s = style.split(";")
        try:
            return [
                (x.split(":")[0].strip(), ":".join(x.split(":")[1:]).strip()) # updated to take [1:] elements
                for x in s
                if ":".join(x.split(":")[1:]).strip() != "" # updated to take [1:] elements
            ]
        except IndexError as err:
            raise ValueError(
                "Styles supplied as string must follow CSS rule formats, "
                f"for example 'attr: val;'. '{style}' was given."
            ) from err
    return style

maybe_convert_css_to_tuples("""background-image: url('data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" id="flag-icons-dk" viewBox="0 0 640 480"><path fill="%23c8102e" d="M0 0h640.1v480H0z"/><path fill="%23fff" d="M205.7 0h68.6v480h-68.6z"/><path fill="%23fff" d="M0 205.7h640.1v68.6H0z"/></svg>');""")

This seems to work for examples I have tried.

[attack68]

I think this is a good patch.
A PR is appreciated. Then we can check all existing tests and ensure compliance.
