Hi

I have just checked the CSS validation of this template….

You claim that it validates….it is not very good at all !

Is this going to be cleaned up? if so when?

Ian.

Did you check from the demo site or on your own site?

Hi

Thanks for your prompt reply…

I have clicked on your link on the JA website –

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2&warning=2&uri=http://template.joomlart.com/ja_fagus/

3 errors – 295 warnings

I have also done a fresh install and checked that using the CSS validator on the W3C

http://www.keyvitamins.co.uk

3 errors – 312 warnings

This is certainly not validating, is it?

seems the only way to raise a response in these forums is to be totally negative all the reasonable questions and requests remain unanswered

You make a good point ipb1962 but I suspect it will fall on deaf ears

A different look at things…

Although I totally see your point about the CSS validator on the W3C,
I must ask “will you be punished for these errors?”
Your site is not going to be pushed down any search engine list because of this.
Why not simply lose the W3C button and enjoy your site.

If you spend twenty minutes going round the internet I would think you would be hard pressed to find any new sites that are 100% error free….and how many times have you ever pressed someones css button?

I checked the randomwebsite.com and honestly these are the first five I checked…they make your site look outstanding

site 1
site 2
site 3
site 4
site 5

Good luck with the rest of your site

Well JA , I hope you are going to update JA Fagus to work with the imminent 1.5 RC4…….
and rectify the CSS at the same time….

I must say that I am not overly impressed by the support I am receiving from you at the moment.

Do you really want to make you’re customers feel this way?

Ian.

Hey David

I think being ignored constitutes support !!! , well on Planet JA it does !

Well I won’t renew this subscription that’s for sure….sorry JA ! you templates are cool but your support is shocking.

Take a look at RocketTheme and learn what customer support really is.

Later ….

p.s. and their templates VALIDATE !

NEWSFLASH…1.5 RC4 is now available !!!

I’m feeling the same as these guys at the minute and have also experienced the great support at RocketTheme. Is anyone going to do anything about these validation issues as I’m in the process of migrating one of my sites to the JA Fagus template but am getting a bit concerned about the quality of the products I’ve paid for and am just looking for some feedback from the team managing this club.

I have managed to get my site to validate CSS there is a line of code that has to be commented out until the news light file is availiable.

There is also another line of code with a colon that I don’t think belongs.

I got it to validate CSS!

——————————————————————————–

I think this should do it ( I am still a newbie!)

Change CSS Code:

* html #ja-search .inputbox, *+html #ja-search .inputbox {
margin: 1px 0 0 10px;
!important: ;

To:

* html #ja-search .inputbox, *+html #ja-search .inputbox {
margin: 1px 0 0 10px !important;

I just matched the !important rule with the oters that were in the code

Change HTMLCode:

<link href="http://bramewavestudios.com/templates/ja_fagus/css/ja-newslight.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

To:

<!link href="http://bramewavestudios.com/templates/ja_fagus/css/ja-newslight.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

I could not find a newslight.css file anywhere for fagus so I just made that line of code a comment tag until the css file is released. This may not be perfect but it did validate, my url http://www.bramewavestudios.com

my mistake:

Change HTMLCode:

<link href="http://bramewavestudios.com/templates/ja_fagus/css/ja-newslight.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

To:

<!--link href="http://bramewavestudios.com/templates/ja_fagus/css/ja-newslight.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /-->

I could not find a newslight.css file anywhere for fagus so I just made that line of code a comment tag until the css file is released. This may not be perfect but it did validate, my url http://www.bramewavestudios.com
