CSS Validation 2

[TamedTech]

Hello Guys,

I'm sure this is a bit of a newbie question but i've not been working with CSS very long, everything seems to be working fine apart from when i attempt to validate.

Firstly i dont get any Error messages from the validator, only a few level 1 warnings about not having a color with my background-color. Do i really have to put a color attribute with every class i put a background color too?

Secondly i tells be "To work as intended, your CSS style sheet needs a correct document parse tree." what does this mean? is this refering to my warning messages or somthing else?

Thanks guys,

Rob

Re. the first - They're simply warnings. They don't mean your CSS is invalid, just that there are things you might want to check, in case they are causing problems.

Re. the second, it means your HTML is not valid. You should validate that using an HTML validator such as this one:

http://validator.w3.org/

Hope this helps,
Dan

Thanks for that Can,

I suspected as much with the first point.

The second point is a little confusing as my HTML validates perfrectly well without any issues.

And it kicks up that erroer even when i go directly to the w3 CSS validator page and upload just my css file.

any other idea?

It is not an error it is just a statement telling you to make sure your html is valid.
