Validatation of two CSS files

None

OK Styles.css first:

body {
color: #000000;
font-size:12px;
font-family: 'times new roman', 'arial', 'helvetica',sans-serif;
}

Just added quotes around the specific font names, leaving the generic font family unquoted. Because it's specified in your body tag it applies to all the other stuff within the body tag.

a:active {
color:#0000FF;
text-decoration: none;
font-size:12px;
}

a:hover {
color: #0000FF
text-decoration: none;
}

What's this about? Tell me what hyperlink effect you want and I'll modify the code to suit.

h1 {
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
margin-bottom: 0;
padding-bottom: 0;
}

What's this next bit for? Try just deleting it - it shouldn't affect your page because it's not attached to any element name.
table-layout:fixed

I'll go through the other sheet later.

Pretty much the same things in here:

body
{
color: #000000;
font-family: 'times new roman', 'arial', 'helvetica', sans-serif;
}


a:active {
color:#0000FF;
font-size:12px;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
color: #0000FF;
}


h1 {
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
margin-bottom: 0;
padding-bottom: 0;
}


.banner{
color: #003300;
font-size: medium;
font-weight:bold;
}

.title{
color: #003300;
font-size: medium;
font-weight:bold;
}

.section {
color: #800000;
font-size: medium;
font-weight:bold;
}

.section2 {
color: #800000;
font-size: medium;
font-weight: bold;
}

.mail {
font-size: x-small;
}

Just moved the font family to the body tag, so it applys to everything.

I still don't know what you're menu css should be doing. At present, you've missed two of the other parts of it out -

a:link {styles in here}
a:visited {style in here}
a:active {styles}
a:hover {styles}

Check out www.webdevfaqs.com/css.php - the css for menus is dealt with in there, and it might help you.


Any queries ;)

Please help me to correct this style sheet. The source of my validation site is http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/csscheck/upload.html

I combined the two style sheets into one and called it test.css

[DaveSW]

mostly just minor typos.

color: #800080
text-decoration: none
Error: Hexadecimal values are restricted to digits and the letters A through F (or a through f).
missing ; at end of color line

color: #800080
text-decoration: none
Error: Hexadecimal notation must be given with three or six digits (#rgb or #rrggbb).
as above

font size: 12px
Error: Property font size not recognized.
It's font-size:12px;

Where it says background colors should be specified wherever you specify colors you can either ignore it or go through and set them all.

I want to set the background color for all pages to white.

Will this correct the third line where you have posted the errors?

[Robert Wellock]

body{
background-color: white;
/* Add the above to the body */
}

I tried to work with what you gave me and I turned it into test.css The only html file that is attached is index. I want the test.css to look the same as styles.css and contact.css. Can you help to re-write the test file and re-zip and then automatically notify me.

I will check if to see if it is too small, too big, or right enough.

Currently, what you see at http://mywebpages.comcast.net/designengineering is the font style I want.

The only exception is contact.html. I combined the properties of the style sheet for contact.html and I turned it into one style sheet when I first addressed that the style sheet was not valid.

Please fix this.
