Re: color, background color

Hey,

These are warnings, and not really errors. The validator is recommending
that you also use background-color where you have color defined. But you
don't have to. The color redefinition warning is because your are using
vlink and alink instead of visited and active. It sees the a:vlink as a
redefinition of a:link. Check
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1#anchor-pseudo-classes this is not clear. Hope
this helps,

Josu�
