Title: Message



Thanks 
all for your help.
 
I 
removed all the media types, except for "screen", from my CSS link - this worked 
a treat.
 
I fixed my language to "en" not "em" while I was at it... 
thanks.

  validation issue
  Hey 
  all,
   
  I'm still fairly 
  new to CSS and wanted to validate my CSS before asking some advice from this 
  group, but I keep getting weird errors ONLY when I validate the online CSS 
  file. I'm using the W3C CSS Validation Service: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
   
  I 
  can validate my local copy of the CSS file and receive no errors, however 
  when I try and validate my online version, it has errors everywhere. Actually, 
  I didn't think the items that it's reporting were errors. For example, I'm 
  using % for font-size - but it doesn't like this. It also fails on my 
  shorthand hex colours (ie. #000 instead of #00).
   
  The XHTML 
  file validates fine, both locally and online.
   
  Here's the 
  relevant addresses:

  What am I doing 
  wrong? Thanks in advance for your help.

I can only suggest that perhaps some of the white space is actually 
funny characters? So , eg on the first error, it doesnt see #fff, it 
sees 7364#fff872 type of thing.

Try selecting all the supposedly white space around the first error (do 
all the lines above it to be sure) and re-hitting the spacebar.
I've had weird things happen occasionally that way, although not 
recently.

Well, I noticed a wee thing, maybe it doesn't matter and maybe it does:
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" *lang="em"*>
Maybe by tweaking that to read "lang="en" will fix something?
hope it helps,

Re: [WSG] Weird CSS validation issue

[Damian Sweeney]

Granted, it's weird. What happens if you separate the media 
declarations? I say that because I noticed a long list of warnings 
half way down related to a particular media type (not sure which 
one). It might be that the validator is balking at some styles even 
though they are valid for the screen. Or maybe it's parsing its own 
parse tree because there's more than one media?
