Could some kind soul explain the errors and warnings that the W3C CSS
validator generates for page: http://www.atlis.nl/testsite/nl/

Results at: http://tinyurl.com/5pxqx

The error "Invalid number : borderParse Error - [empty string]" may be
due to something I've done, but I'm blowed if I can see what.

While the warning "property display doesn't exist for media" has me
baffled.

AFAICS the media handheld doesn't allow border properties,

nor display or margin-left.

As Els said, I think this is a @media problem. I *think* the problem is
with the css "validator"; it does not know how to deal with handheld
media properties. I asked about this some time ago, and recall getting
that as an answer, but I cannot remember where. :-( Moreover, a Goolge
search turns up no useful info.

It is a problem with the validator; I tried Google again and found this:
