CSS warnings

HI I am trying to learn how to orgainze my CSS better and
reduce the number of styles and classes I use to be more effecient
with my CSS.

when I try to validate my CSS, while it does validate, where
ever I have a color stated for any form of text and I have not
specificially set BG color in that element (normally I just set the
colour in the body or to container) a warning is listed on
validation page. While I comprehend the essence of the warning I
think it looks bad.



Is the most correct way to implement CSS to state BG colour
for every style like:

p {

font-size : 0.8em;

color : #333333;

background: #fff

}

h1 {

font-size : 0.8em;

color : #000;

background-color : #fff;

}

h2{

font-size : 0.7em;

color : #ffcc00;

background-color : #fff;



}

%26gt; like:



Backgrounds are usually (always?) inherited. As such, the
easiest solution

is to just give the BODY tag a background color via CSS and
then only apply

background colors to the particular elements that you need
them on.

CSS warnings




Thanks for your reply,



that is what I thought but when doing it that way creates so
many warnings in W3C CSS validator do most designers just not worry
about the warnings?

Warnings are really just assumption the software makes not
being able to

reason like a human. So, often they can safely be ignored if
you can clearly

see they don't apply to your situation.

The reason for the warnings is because users can set their
own

preferences for colours and styles. Somebody with visual
problems might

decide to set a user preference for the background to be a
particular

colour. If that colour is very similar to the colour you have
chosen for

text, your text becomes illegible. That's why you're
recommended to set

both foreground and background colours. However, I suspect
that most

designers ignore this advice.
