[RESOLVED] CSS Cry for help

[Agent_Nothing]

Hey all,

I'm new here, but I hope that doesn't mean that I'll be ignored. I've been rebuilding my company's website and migrating us to the Joomla! system.

I've been making sure to continually use the validator's to make sure the code is correct. However, I found an error that I do not know how to fix. W3C returned my site's CSS as having only one error. This error references the jv.css.php file. I've looked at the .php file that is indicated as the problem, but the format is not like a CSS style sheet.

I am really in need of some help, as searching these terms didn't return much useful, although it did lead me here.

Alright, while using the CSS Validator:

Sorry! We found the following errors (1)
URI : [url]http://idacomusa.com/joomla/templates/jv_bellus/css/jv_css.php[/url]
0 		Parse Error Lexical error at line 1, column 6. Encountered: ">" (62), after : "<br /"

The text above shows the error returned. To me, it seems the problem is within the PHP file. I know HTML, learning CSS, and have no clue about PHP. Would someone please clarify what the problem is for me? Maybe also show me what I need to fix? I'll provide more info if needed, just let me know what I forgot.

Thanks ahead of time!!!!

Is jv_css.php meant to contain css styles or php server side code?

If you can, post the contents of jv_css.php and clarify what the file is meant to be used for (ie..css styles or server side processing of data).

I am not sure what the point of this file is to be brutally honest. It was in the contents of the theme that I am currently using.

Here is the site (if it helps):

http://idacomusa.com/joomla

Here is the contents of the .php file:

<?php
/**
* @version 1.5.x
* @package JoomVision Project
* @email webmaster@joomvision.com
* @copyright (C) 2008 http://www.JoomVision.com. All rights reserved.
*/

require_once('../../../configuration.php');
header("Content-type: text/css");
$d = detect();
$b = $d['browser'];
$v = $d['version'];
$o = $d['os'];
function detect()
    {
    $browser = array ("IE","OPERA","MOZILLA","NETSCAPE","FIREFOX","SAFARI","CHROME");
    $os = array ("WIN","MAC","LINUX");
    $info['browser'] = "OTHER";
    $info['os'] = "OTHER";
    foreach ($browser as $parent)
        {
        $s = strpos(strtoupper($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']), $parent);
        $f = $s + strlen($parent);
        $version = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], $f, 5);
        $version = preg_replace('/[^0-9,.]/','',$version);
        if ($s)
            {
            $info['browser'] = $parent;
            $info['version'] = $version;
            }
        }
    foreach ($os as $val)
        {
        if (eregi($val,strtoupper($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))) $info['os'] = $val;
        }
    return $info;
    }

?>
<?php 
if (($b == 'CHROME')) {
?>
/* CSS RENDER HERE FOR CHROME*/
#jv-quicksearch .jv-k2search-wrap .preview {
	overflow: visible !important;
}
#jv-quicksearch #search_results {

<?php

?>
/* CSS RENDER HERE FOR OPERA*/

I can't find the line in that code that generates your error message.

Hopefully a Joomla guru will be able to help more.

This is throwing an error:

if (($b == 'OPERA') || $jvTools->browser() == 'OPE') {

Thanks for trying tirna, I really appreciate it.

Fang, can I just remove that line of code? Or will that make the site unviewable through Opera?

[Fang]

You can, temporarily remove

if (($b == 'OPERA') || $jvTools->browser() == 'OPE') {

The solution is to contact webmaster@joomvision.com
In any case the problem is PHP

I opened this up in Ad0be Dr3amweaver and was able to identify the issues. Thanks for both of your help.
