reply to #7 I see. And I am guessing the idea of the nested rule came from the template. Regarding that, I refer you back to. After the numbered list, I have an explanation as to why the template is incorrect. The stylesheet equivalent of what the template does is: The first line (which is what you modeled your stylesheet version after) is invalid syntax so all browsers will ignore it. The last line has an extra semi-colon but it seems browsers are "smart" enough to recognize it is extra and just ignore it.

Side question (maybe Fngplg knows the answer):

I am not sure what browsers will do with the 2nd line. When I browse help forums, it seems everyone uses it. However, I can't find documentation indicating that it was ever supported. Mozilla, w3schools, and caniuse.com all don't mention it and simply list IE10 as the first version to support gradients. Microsoft's documentation is similar except that it explicitly says not to use the "-ms-" prefix with IE10+. Perhaps that implies older versions do use the prefix?
