This no longer validates: { font: 12px/18px "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Gill Sans", sans-serif; color: #666666; width: 100%; text-align: left; } because the validator itself is introducing spaces either side of the '/', yet this particular specification hasn't changed since its containing file was first validated at the end of 2010. The error message is also thoroughly unclear and it took some time to uncover the meaning of its complaint. Furthermore, the validator now reports 'duplicate colour' warnings on other specifications in the same CSS file (which have previously been reported clean), but using highly misleading messages and line numbers (presumably?) that vastly differ from their actual locations. I've never seen these before, but they read as if the 'color' and 'background-color' properties are set to the same value. I think I would have noticed! I'm guessing they mean that the fore- and background colour specifications of certain elements overlap and, to some extent or other, are redundant. The fact the line numbers are wildly off indicates that the validator must be mangling the submitted file. P. Leather
