This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Reported by "sasha": I ran through 2 sites that I had already validated with the current public validator, one was valid and the other was invalid. The valid page looks great, but the invalid page needs a small adjustment in the CSS. The CSS controlling the line "This Page Is NOT Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional!" makes the link for HTML 4.01 (particularly if the link has been visited, making it purple against burgundy). It doesn't appear to have the same link class being used in the valid one, making the link text a gray color.
Fixed. Switched to a saner color scheme.
