http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/v...m%2Fstudio.php
W3C CSS Validator results for http://www.littleworksstudio.com/studio.php

Some warnings for not specifying background-color on my navbar links
that I have preset...but as you can see how they start:

http://www.littleworksstudio.com/styles/basic.css

Maybe if we could see the live example, the actual output might reveal
the error...So you're Visual Studio must be throwing in something else
that make the file invalid. A MS product that would produce
non-compliant code? Perish the thought!
