I have my transitional pages validating but am getting one error on my css validation. I have reviewed the error and my css file but can’t seem to make sense of it? Be gentle, no formal training and not real strong on this stuff. Here’s the error: Here’s the content for line 92 on my style.css: (the top line is #92, lines below are my properties) I can’t seem to find a missing semi-colon? On another page I get this same css error message but on a different line. Two of my other transitional pages validate on both xhtml and css? Any help would be appreciated.
That's not quite enough info. Please post a link to your css, at least the rulesets preceding the error or the contents of the validator response—all of it. cheers, gary
Thanks for the reply. Live links are not available to me yet since I am new here. Below is the url you can paste into the browser. Hopefully this works. Below the url is the contents of the validator response. (I appologize if I should have posted this in the "validation" threads. I can move it if needed.) http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.damoselsprintersblocks.com%2F&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1&lang=en
I didn't get your validation results. See css validator. No errors, only warnings, mostly about possible color conflicts. cheers, gary
Than you Gary! I ran it again with just this url: And I get the same error. But when I run it as you did, with the style.css on the end I get no errors? I'll run it with the style.css and use that vanity link on my site. Do you think any of those color warnings are of any concern?
Consider the following: body { color: black; background-color: white; } #some-odd-element { color: white; background-image: url(somedarkimage.png); } ========= <body> ... <div id="some-odd-element"> <p>Now is the time ...</p> </div> ... </body> Code (markup): That css will generate a warning. Now, consider the effect should the image not load; white text on a white background. Not real legible. It is good practice to 1) not declare color or background-color if they're the same as the inherited values, and 2) if you declare one, declare both. cheers, gary
Thanks again for the follow-up and lesson. I'll take some time and get a grasp on what you're telling me here. I'll have to do some work on the pages to see this edit in action. I do know what you're telling me may (or will) solve my color issues. I just need to take a little time and get an understanding. Like I said, I'm not real strong with it but can work through and get an understanding by physically doing it. I'll let you know how it turns out? I deeply appreciate your input. I'll spend some time trying to get an understanding of the below comment. Best Regards, Kevin
Wow, outstanding advice! I just worked with my background color a little and I can clearly see what you are telling me. Very happy! I have some more work to do with it but at least now I see it! Don't know how I can ever thank you enough!! All errors and color warnings are gone. Not sure I will stay with current background color? But now I know what to do. I'm not worthy. Where is that bowing smiley?
