W3 throws an error when I use pt (points) as a unit of font size.

[multimediocrity]

I have a CSS sheet where I write this:

.footer {position:relative; border-top: solid 1px #AAAAAA; margin-top: 50px; padding: 20px; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, 'helvetica', sans serif, sans; color: #999999; clear: both;}

When I validate my CSS at W3.org, I get an error:

Parse Error .10pt {font-size: 10pt;}

Why, and how do I fix it? Is pt not an appropriate unit? I tried using a space (10 pt), and that did not work either. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Do you have a class called "10pt" in that style sheet somewhere? I don't think the .footer style is what's being flagged as an error. Perhaps post a link to the site?

OOOOOH! I do! Thanks! That should solve that problem. :)
