No, it isn't. An author rule (rule 1) sets a colour, but not a background colour. Another author rule (rule 2) sets a background colour that (due to the cascade) applies to the same element. If this was all there was to it, then I might agree with you, but ... There is the possibility that a user stylesheet will set a style that (due to the cascade) also applies to the same element (rule 3). Since the colours specified by rule 3 may take precidence over the colours specified by rule 2, rule 2 cannot be depended upon. Since the validator takes this (the cascade) into account, it issues a warning. -- David Dorward <http://dorward.me.uk><http://blog.dorward.me.uk> ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
