Hi all-
I'm trying to understand exactly why the W3C CSS validator now spits out
errors for instances where you do not declare a color on a property with a
background-color declaration, or vice versa.
For instance, I have a righthand column on my page that has a div with a
background image in it.
this has been baffling me ever since It changed. I wrote the list about it,
and I still dont understand the need for all the bg's. But if these things
are necessary to get perfectly valid/no warning/no error style sheets then I
want to learn the right way...

It doesn't. The validator spits out WARNINGS for that situation, not
ERRORS. T
I originally replied to this off-list, but as the link looks like being
useful to more people than Ron, I'll send it here too:

It's just a "sanity check" sort of a tip.
