But when it lists the valid CSS information, it shows the line with the repeat value first! (Like the code that it complained about.) Regards, Sankar R. 31406 1 ken 2010-02-02 22:43:36 +0000 I've noticed this bug as well over the past two/three months. It seems to have been introduced after the last major update to the validator.
