[web] CSS,validation problem
Author
(updated)
Hi!
I'm currently updating my CSS to conform to CSS 2.0, not much to do - was only one error. I've got 1 weird warnings (level 1). About the background-color attribute for the a-tag. Doesn't a:link inherit values from a? It does so for the other values.
Here's the validation result
(The CSS source is visible in the end.)

for A, you have a background-color of transparent. Maybe it doesn't recognize it as a color and so it bombs.
for A:Hover, you lack a background-color
for the other one you lack a color.

Thank you cap. The 3rd warning was just me being blind. The 1st, apperently transparent doesn't count but inherit does. The 2nd is the last... a:hover doesn't inherit a because it's a required attribute?

I fixed the last warning by just putting a value... But now I have a warning I really don't understand:
Line : 51 (Level : 1) You have no color with your background-color : #main
Line 51: background-color: #FFFFFF;
I've tried with rgb(255,255,255) and white, same warning.

I guess I just suck at understanding the error/warning messages... apperently it meant that I must have a color attribute if I specify a background-color attribute...
I had that question on another forum today and by searching on google for the warning message, I found a discussion that tried to explain it. Basically, it is a warning that means that on some broken browsers (Netscape 4), using a transparent background or some other combinations of non-explicit color and background-color values could make the text unreadable. So it's more or less FYI, and if you're sure that it won't cause problems you can just ignore the warning.
