Because of this, backgrounds on containers may clash with your color, hence the warning. The validator does not check multiple rules to find out, so it warns you to check it yourself. In your case, you have no background color at all in most places. If I were to set my browser to default to, say, white text on a black background as my preference for unstyled pages, then I'd get black text on a black background on most of your page. :) Adding a background-color to BODY should fix it. > [...] > the majority of my browser visitors are using IE5.5 and IE6.

I think your solution works well, although a base font size of 80% times a content size of 0.85em makes for very tiny text - smaller than six points print equivalent on my 15" 1440 x 1050 laptop. Also, if you really are using UTF-8 encoding, there's no need for all those Unicode entities. Cordially, David --
