Today, I am suddenly getting all of these warnings when validating my CSS
file that weren't there last week. I didn't make any major changes to my css
file. Most of the warnings say either:
You have no color with your background-color :
or :
You have no background-color with your color
and some say:
Same colors for color and background-color in two contexts
has anyone else experienced this and know how to fix these warnings and
also why they would appear today, but not last week?
1) A warning is not an error
2) Yes, background colour and foreground colour should be both defined
and have enough contrast, however, adding background:transparent; just
to please a validator is making the validator more important than your
visitors or other developers who have to maintain your work. As
background _does_ get inherited it is not always necessary to define
it, pending the next parent element does have a background defined.
3) It is a validator, a stupid script running on a computer
4) Pixies do this over night. Or maybe the validator has been changed.
