2 Errors in CSS Validator

Hi,

I encountered 2 errors in the W3C CSS Validator, please see screenshot below,

CSS Validator 2 Errors

I looked through my code and am unsure of the following,

1) "h2 Value Error : font-weight attempt to find a semi-colon before the property name. add it " , what is this value error referring to?

2) "h2 Parse Error " , what is this referring to?

Please find my main.css code below,

your "font-weight: normal:" needs a semi-colon ";" instead of a colon..

h2 { margin: -5px 0 0; font-size: 0.75em; font-weight:normal:

}

See if that helps solve your issue?

h2 {
    margin: -5px 0 0;
    font-size: 0.75em;
    font-weight:normal ;  <!-- Change the last semi-colon -->

}

Better response Alejandro :-) Just checking some of the comment markup now:

  • italic
  • bold
  • code

Where on the keyboard can you find them backticks (''')to mark text as code?

          <p>This is code!</p>
          ```

You can find the sticks (```) next to number 1 in-between Esc and Tab (at least my 3 keyboards are like that)
