Validating CSS StyleSheets

windows

Guest
Hey I've been trying to validate my CSS at Jigsaw for some time now and I've never been able to, with a internal or external! My site is at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.theprojectepsilon.tk">http://www.theprojectepsilon.tk</a><!-- m -->, or <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.geocities.com/otacon2662/projep/">http://www.geocities.com/otacon2662/projep/</a><!-- m -->

Please help. PMs would be preferred#btm a:hover {backgound: transparent; color: white}

Background is misspelled.

hr {color: 00aeed;

Should be...

hr {color:#00aeed;}

#justcuz {background: url('bg/top2.gif') blue; padding:none; margin:none;}

Should be...

#justcuz {background: url('bg/top2.gif') blue; padding:0; margin:0;}

You also get a warning because you don't offer one of the default fonts when using the font-family attribute. A number of your fonts I don't know off hand, so I likely might not be using any of them.but a few Q's if you don't mind.

1. What are the default fonts?
2. Do you know what Jigsaw is?
3. If so, do you need an external style sheet to validate?

Thanks.Try using "validate by file upload" or WDG (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/csscheck.cgi">http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/csscheck.cgi</a><!-- m -->) css check1 (default) generic family ie serif, sans-serif etc.
2 Jigsaw is the W3C's css validator project
3 No, but it is a good practice to do use external cssOriginally posted by Fang

Good practice to use external CSS? I heard somewhere it had problems with older browsers... something about the link tag not being supported... am I wrong?

I know how to do external css, and as you obviously know your webpages, say the word and ill change.For "very old" browsers this is true, but you are probably thinking of the @import (url).

It is considered good practice to separate content from layout.
html file with no inline style or javascript, these should be externally linked.Originally posted by omega

And for CSS validation, I used the W3C Jigsaw validator. I clicked on "with a text area" link and copied your CSS into the text area.You people are definetely dependable...
