validation help please...

[philjohns]

Ok, Im really dreading asking this question as CSS seems so easy to validate!

Im currently redesigning my website but when validating the CSS it comes up with the following message:

Value Error : width attempt to find a semi-colon before the property name. add it

I have no idea how to solve this - although I rpobably do - I just cant work out how!!

ANY help really appreciated!

My CSS file
My Website Redesign

Thanks,

Phil

all seems valid to me

yeah i was thinking the same, i can't for the life of me figure where the semi-colon is missing, i've checked everywhere that there's a 'width' also when i copy the style sheet and validate it as direct input there are no errors. i bet Tommy knows...

After checking it twice this moring I then copied it and validated it as a direct input . . . its soo annoying as now if someone clicks the valid button on my site it wont show as valid :(

Do you have any other CSS files in your CSS folder? If you validate the stylesheet directly i.e http://www.philjohnsimaging.co.uk/we...n/css/main.css, then it passes, there must be another CSS file that is checked when you just enter Phil Johns Imaging - Plymouth Graphic and Website Design

You can change the link at the bottom of the page to:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/v...medium=all]W3C CSS Validator results for http://www.philjohnsimaging.co.uk/we...n/css/main.css

to show that it validates.

Could it be because your css file is encoded in ANSI rather than UTF-8?
Grasping at straws really.

Thanks for trying to help guys - I dont have any other file sin my css folder though - apart from my image directory

Could it be because your css file is encoded in ANSI rather than UTF-8?

Could you expand on this please LeadMagnet?

[LeadMagnet]

ANSI and UTF-8 are standards for encoding the characters in text files. The details aren't really important, just that on the net UTF-8 is used more than any other character set so it's possible that the validation service might just not like ANSI.
It's unlikely i know, but just open up notepad or whatever you're using an re-save the css file as UTF-8 and see if it makes a difference.

Wait a second, you guys are validating the wrong thing.
The invalid css is in the HTML file, not the CSS file.

This:

<div id="load-area" style="width: 395px height: 405px"><img src="http://www.estetica-design-forum.com/images/indexpreviews/lowookepreview.png" alt="ALTERNATIVE TEXT" /> </div>

Should be this:

<div id="load-area" style="width: 395px; height: 405px"><img src="http://www.estetica-design-forum.com/images/indexpreviews/lowookepreview.png" alt="ALTERNATIVE TEXT" /> </div>

you guys are validating the wrong thing.

were you not trying to validate it too?? ;) lol

Thanks alot LeadMagnet - I REALLY appreciate it!
