CSS & DW

Hi all,

Can anyone explain why DW would mark styles as being unavailable when a
stylesheet validates in TopStyle Lite?

I adopted the following mark-up from a working CSS sample sent to me by a
friend.  That sheet works (provided I don't copy the page and link into a
subdirectory).  Mine does not - irrespective of where I place the page or
sheet.

The original mark-up (with initial period included for web-enabled e-mail
clients) was:

.A.leftnav:LINK, A.leftnav:VISITED, A.leftnav:ACTIVE {
    font-family : Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
    font-size : 12px
}

My version - which is marked as "unavailable" in DW - is as follows.  As you
can see, all I've done is change the face.

.A.toc:LINK, A.toc:VISITED, A.toc:ACTIVE {
     font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     font-size : 12px;
}

Am I going blind, is my computer having a brunette day or should I forget
about style sheets completely <grin>?

Any help you can give me (before I go completely bald from ripping out what
little hair I have left) is greatly appreciated!
