Re: [css-d] background color warnings
Don't sweat the questions as they're good ones.
The warnings about colors there are simply warnings as you already know.
They're simply saying, 'hey, you're only setting {colour/background
colour}. If you
inhereit the {background colour/colour} from an ancestor and it's the
SAME colour,
or simply a hideously contrasting one, things will go snafu.
So it's just a way of getting you to think about your design scheme.
The selectors you mention are different:
div#summary p
#summary p
p#summary
The first is: a p within a div with the id of summary.
The second is: a p within anything with an id of summary.
The last is any p with an id of summary.
Since both p and div are block level, I leave it up to you to think about
why Eric Meyer wouldn't bother with an extraneous div tag.

I get the following warningsa about background color:
* Line : 42 (Level : 1) You have no color with your
background-color : div#utilnav
* Line : 78 (Level : 1) You have no color with your
background-color : div#sidebar
* Line : 92 (Level : 1) You have no background-color
with your color : #profile
* Line : 92 (Level : 1) You have no background-color
with your color : #profile
* Line : 161 (Level : 1) You have no background-color
with your color : a:link
* Line : 165 (Level : 1) You have no background-color
with your color : a:visited
* Line : 169 (Level : 1) You have no background-color
with your color : a:hover
etc etc etc etc...it goes on...
Am I doing something wrong in the CSS that can be easily fixed, or do
I need to specify the background color explicitly in each style
mentioned?
The CSS is at http://www.wildscaping.com/stylesheets/ws_stylesheet3.css

Also, is there any difference between
div#summary p
#summary p
p#summary
I noticed Eric Meyer was using the 3rd option (p#summary) in a
tutorial, and I'd never seen it done this way.

The third selects a single paragraph which itself has an id of summary and is not interchangable with the first two. -- Richard Grevers New Plymouth, New Zealand Orphan Gmail invites free to good homes. __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
Re: [css-d] background color warnings
Hi Trish, I posted the same last week, it seems to have recently started doing this. Here's the replies I got: http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/?search=CSS+Validation subject CSS Validation. I took the advice that it was only a 'hint' to check your code and if it's okay then ignore the warnings. At the moment I need to put into writing a statement in the estimate/contract I do for clients to cover if they find the validation service and think their site is not working properly... a couple of other people would like a copy and then they may come up with a bit more... let me know if you want it too.
