Hi all and Happy New Year.......

After reading many many threads that have mentioned FireFox and its addons, I decided to download it and have a look for myself.....  Well I sure wish I hadn't bothered :-(

I have got the following CSS errors that I simply can't find the php files to fix-

W3C CSS Validator Results for http://www.dewhurstsgifts.co.uk/joomla/
Sorry! We found the following errors
URI : http://www.dewhurstsgifts.co.uk/joomla/
56       Value Error : font Arial is not a font-size value : Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif
239       Value Error : width only 0 can be a length. You must put an unit after your number : 150

I have tried unpublishing modules to see it is a module based error and all that change is the error line numbers.

Can anyone help?  Does it really matter if the site is not validated?  I will leave this site active so that anyone in the know can have a look to see what I have done wrong.

The site is still in develpoment so please don't judge it's content.......

Many thanks.. Mal

They seem to be inline css styles in your template, not virtuemart.

I viewed your source for your homepage and then cut and pasted into Notepad++

line 62 says
<td width="250"><div align="right" style="font:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:9px; color: #bbbbbb; ">template designed by...

change to

style="font:9px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

line 261 says

<div style="width:150;text-align:justify;">

change to
<div style="width:150px;text-align:justify;">

Try to look at taking all the inline styling and place it into your template_css.css file. It just helps keep it organised Smiley
