css short hand(not working)

[Ninjakreborn]

I finally started tryign to get into shorthand and have a bad experience with it first thing.
I tried turning this
[code]h1 {
font-size:1.5em;
background-color:#f2faf5;
color:#000000;
}

h2 {
color:#000000;
font-size:1.3em;
background-color:#f2faf5;
}

h3 {
color:#000000;
font-size:1.2em;
background-color:#f2faf5;
}

h4 {
color:#000000;
background-color:#f2faf5;
font-size:1.1em;

}

h5 {
color:#000000;
background-color:#f2faf5;
font-size:1em;

}

h6 {
color:#000000;
background-color:#f2faf5;
font-size:0.8em;
}
[/code]
into
[code]h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 {
color: #000000;
background-color: #f2faf5;
}[/code]
The problem nwo though is, with the long drawn out style's it put's a background color with all of them, with this it doesn't put a background color with any of them.

You have to have commas separating your tags in your selector if you are wanting to select [i]separate[/i] tags:
[code]
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
  color: #000000;
  background-color: #f2faf5;
}
[/code]

thanks.

why would you want every header to be the same?  Defeats the purpose.

I don't.  I was just learning shorthand.  I have been reading a few more book's on css to try and get better and better and it's helping even more.
