You are specifying the URL of your CSS file?
What are the parse errors mentioned?

What URL are you giving the validator? The css file itself, or a file that uses the css?
Is the error in line 3 of the css or line 3 of the containing document?

No luck. You're going to have to give us a hint. Like, say, the complete and exact text of the whole error message. Substitute "example.com" for your domain name anywhere it appears in the error.
You started out saying
implying that you use external style sheets. Do they validate?
Unless the CSS is part of a very, very long HTML document, it shouldn't be necessary to use direct input. You had to do it that way a few years ago, but now the CSS validator will accept CSS within an HTML document. It could always read free-standing stylesheets, either by upload or by URL.
First step is to make sure the free-standing stylesheets themselves validate. Then you can step back and look at the documents that call the CSS.

Sorry I'm a newbie here and was not sure if it's ok to mention a website link... yes free-standing stylesheets validate.
W3C CSS Validator results for http://www.example.com (CSS level 2.1)
Sorry! We found the following errors (1)
URI : http://www.example.com
3 Parse Error }
Thanks,
Daniel
Same errors for all page or post links of the website. [edited by: alt131 at 8:47 am (utc) on Feb 5, 2012]

<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" /> is the default and does not need to be specified.
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow,noodp,noydir" /> is a duplicate tag.
Line 3 of your "custom stylesheet" is where the CSS error is:
.wooslider .slider-container .slide-content { top: 292px } }
There's 320 warnings for your CSS. Ouch!

It isn't. That's why I said
| Substitute "example.com" for your domain name anywhere it appears in the error. |

I tried feeding your URL into the validator and it didn't come back with one error. It had one error and 320 warnings. If all 320 have to do with color and background-color you can ignore them. There should be an option for sorting by error type, but maybe that's only in the HTML validator.

Aha, that's what it means. The } itself is the error. But why the ### is it saying that the error is in the main document if it's in the stylesheet? I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out what was wrong with the <meta> tag in line 3.

The error is within a stylesheet enclosed in <style> </style> tags embedded within the HTML page.
The line number count starts within the <style> </style> tags.

Now all my links validate without errors,cannot found the error in my style.css,slider.css and custom.css
I found .wooslider .slider-container .slide-content { top: 292px } } in the theme-functions.php That's why my css stylesheets validates but not my url.
Thanks g1smd and lucy24 I really appreciate, 3 days trying to figure out what was wrong, now i can work on the warnings...
