The URL of a test page and a verbatim quotation of the validator's message would help to see this.

Then your document probably complies with the formal syntax rules of the version of CSS 2 you chose to check against (by default in current W3C CSS Validator, the draft for CSS 2.1 specification, which is the best surrogate for an excuse of a de facto standard we have). > To me this is still not validation.
