Hello
I don’t' think this needs to be posted on the message board.
It's a request for a possible upgrade to the CSS validator to help
people like me who can't type :)
Basically I missed out the # character in front of a colour (i.e. I
wrote cbe6f7 rather than #cbe6f7)
The error message I received (invalid number) had me chasing different
colours - and different colour formats - etc before I spotted my
mistake.
It would just be nice if the checker could identify an attempt at using
a hex colour value and point out the missing # character..
Regards
Andy

This CSS fragment :
a.datehi
{
color: #b22222;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 10.0pt;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: cbe6f7;
}
Gives this error message:
Line: 8 Context : a.datehi
Invalid number : HYPERLINK
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/colors.html#propdef-background-color"back
ground-color cbe6f7 is not a color value : cbe6f7
