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.
