The main reason why CSS is changing when validating is for the new browsers that will and are coming out, especially IE7.

Okay well once you use shorthand in the body for margins, and declare background-color in *everything* warnings disappear. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I agree...

Warnings aren't necessarily bad, I just like my HTML to be valid.

Yeah, I receive a lot of warnings like that too. I would simply worry about whether or not it is valid. If you seriously want everything to be right, then correct the warnings, but that is a big pain in the butt and isn't that worth it to tell you the truth.

It says it's valid but then lists the warnings underneath. I don't like warnings! Im anal like that!

When someone checks it does it still say it is valid CSS (with warnings) or invalid?

That doesn't make any sense. I'd ignore it. It's like the accessibility validator (forget what it's called) that give you a warning on every gif in case it might be flashing and causing seisures Why should you have to have a background color with your color? No reason!

Actually, I would complain to the w3c that stuff like that is making your CSS un-valid.

It's just a warning not an error, if your worried about file size just ignore it, otherwise as Renegade suggests.
Has been like that for a while, they seem to keep changing the goal posts

Roo — Wed, 28 Sep 2005 04:01:13 +0000

Yeah, but when did that start? These always validated perfectly until now.

Renegade — Wed, 28 Sep 2005 03:54:54 +0000

What you have a color:; with no background:; the validator gives a warning, so just do something like this:

color:#000;
background-color:inherit;

background-color:#000;
color:inherit;
