Hi The following css raises an error with the validator: #frontHeader{background:inherit url(img/banner_two.jpg) no-repeat left bottom;color:#99CC00;} The background color property set to inherit causes the error, yet this value is valid. all the best Dave
Hi Dave, thanks for your report. This was a little confusing to me too, but asking people more knowledgeable of the spec gave the answer: "inherit" can not be used as the value of an individual property within a shorthand property, to avoid ambiguities.
