I had in that file.
I tried the following validator:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator-uri.html
Against this code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {background-color: #000000;}
div {text-align: center;}
h1 {color: #70A7C2;}
p {color: #70A7C2;}
</style>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
blah
</body>
</html>
And the warnings I get are:
Line : 13 Level : 1 You have no color with your background-color : body
Line : 15 Level : 1 You have no background-color with your color : h1
Line : 16 Level : 1 You have no background-color with your color : p
> * I may just be having a fuzzy morning - but I'm not seeing the point to
adding background-color to elements that *should* "inherit" that property
from the body container. However, it might to worthwhile if I wanted to
give the user control over 'fiddling' with those bits - or had a future need
to adjust them.
I think you are correct, cascading is what is supposed to happen. However,
the validator does offer warnings when you do not put both color and
background-color in a single element.
