Dear Sirs,
I've just validated a CSS file using your online service via a text area in
a form (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator-text.html).
It gave the following error message on CSS 1, which I don't understand:
Errors
URI : <file://localhost/TextArea>
* Line: 26 Context : .filler
Parse Error - li
* Line: 26 Context : .filler
Parse Error - [empty string]
The line in question is:
.filler { font-size: 3px; line-height: 3px; } which looks OK to me.
A previous attempt cause the validator to complain that I'd forgotten to
supply a unit of measure for font-size. I completel yre-typed the line in
case there was a corrupt character somewhere in it and the validator gave
the error message above .
When I tried other CSS files I again messages about missing unit
specifications although the lines contained specifications in px, e.g. for
the border-width of BODY.
Can you explain this, please.
I enclose the complete CSS file below.
Thanks,
Philip Chalmers
