I got a lot of warnings because of my use of "background" and
background-color"

So I went to html dog for guidance and they gave me this --

http://htmldog.com/guides/cssintermediate/classid/

#top {background-color: #ccc; padding: 1em}

..intro {color: red; font-weight: bold;}


So I checked it at

http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/csscheck.cgi

And got these warnings.

-----------------------------------------------

#

#top { background-color: #ccc; padding: 1em}

Warning: To help avoid conflicts with user style sheets, background and
color properties should be specified together.
#

#top { background-color: #ccc; padding: 1em}

Warning: To help avoid conflicts with user style sheets,
background-image should be specified whenever background-color is used.
In most cases, background-image: none is suitable.
#

background-color: #ccc

Warning: The shorthand background property is more widely supported than
background-color.
#

..intro {color: red;font-weight: bold;}

Who can you trust ?
