Stylesheets validate OK, but not with a HTML file

Sent by John Zaitseff on 18 November 2004 03:03


Dear All,

I have a problem.  Perhaps the answer is rather obvious to someone,
but it sure isn't to me!  The problem is that I have a couple of
stylesheets which validate correctly using the W3 CSS Validator
(http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/).  When combined with a valid
XHTML file, however, they no longer validate!

Screen-only stylesheet:
    http://www.zap.org.au/~john/web/sinorcaish/sinorcaish-screen.css

Print-only stylesheet:
    http://www.zap.org.au/~john/web/sinorcaish/sinorcaish-print.css

Sample XHTML page:
    http://www.zap.org.au/~john/web/sinorcaish/sample.html

If you go to the sample page and select the link in the left sidebar
for CSS validation, you get the following:


Errors
======

URI: http://www.zap.org.au/~john/web/sinorcaish/sinorcaish-print.css

    Line: 0 
    Parse Error - : none !important; } .notprinted 

    Line: 0 
    Parse Error - : 0 0 0.5em 0; } #main .highlight 

URI: http://www.zap.org.au/~john/web/sinorcaish/sample.html

    Line: 44
    Context: div.nb-htmlsampler-fixup 
    Invalid number: margin-rightinherited is not a margin-right
                    value : inherited


The ".notprinted" class is on line 51 of sinorcaish-print.css; the
"#main .highlight" definition can be found on line 400.  I cannot
see why these should suddenly cause a parse error --- the
sinorcaish-print.css file is perfectly correct when validated by
itself.

Thanks for any responses ahead of time!

Yours truly,

John Zaitseff
