What if the user stylesheet had something like this in it: #footer { background-color: #ffffff ; color: #000000; } There wouldn't be any problems for text directly in the footer, but the links would be unreadable. So the validator warns you of the danger. -- 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/
