CSS validating my Site (Questions about Results)

[Joachim_Joe]

* {
margin-left: 0;
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
}


So what is wrong with the code above?
The Validation site reports: error reading code on this line.

/* The Basics */

* { margin-left: 0; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;}

a {color: #FF0000;}
a:visited {color: #FF8888;}
a:active {color: #AE0000;}
a:hover {color: #FF3E3E;}


It does not seem to like this.

Those rules look fine to me.

I copy-and-pasted both code snippets into the CSS validator and got no errors, so by themselves they are not the problem.
