I put your css code into the W3C CSS validator at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ and it told me that there wasn't any type of errors in your code. Check for yourself. Depending on which validator you used and how you gave it your code (uploaded it, pointed the validator to the location, or directly inputted your code) there may have been an error when you provided your code or maybe the validator made a mistake, I checked the code 3 times using direct input and it passed all three times. Your code is fine.
Cheers!

You should be using the html validator to validate your html which I think you were using originally when you received the error. The css validator is only going to validate css.
