I feel good when a validation-program could not find any failures,
cause it gives me a secure feeling that at least the basics of standards
are complied.
But how important is the validation with tools like hera or the
w3c-validators realy?

Hi Soeren,
That will only appear as a warning in the validator anyway, which I assume is

As someone else has already said, they are only warnings. However, if
you are pushing standards to clients and they view the results, it is a
good idea to have no warnings or errors. Best way around this I have

Cheers for all your help!

The validator will help resolve and prevent those unexpected results
in your work, such as an element being the wrong colour because it's
inheriting values from somewhere you hadn't anticipated. In that
case, explicitly setting the colour will make sure it's set to the
value you're
