Is there any way to work around this?

If i enable javascript in the yooteme MEE, then the validation text wount appear.
There will be a space as if the text was there but not wisibe, but when turning of javascript in the theme settings for the theme yootheme MEE, the text appears again.
But then other theme functions wount work.

Anyone else know what to do?

Hi mcfrojd,

It's probably a css mismatch - try looking at the page in FireBug to see what css is being applied.

When looking with firebug i can see that with javascript off in template settings it looks lite this:

<input class="required validation-failed" type="text" size="30" name="name"/>
<div id="advice-required-name" class="validation-advice" style="display: block; visibility: visible; opacity: 1;">Required.</div>

and with javascript enabled the visibility is hidden like this:

input class="required validation-failed" type="text" size="30" name="name"/>
<div id="advice-required-name" class="validation-advice" style="display: block; visibility: hidden; opacity: 1;">Required.</div>

But how do i find out where to look for whats causing this

Im running this installation on a localhost so i cant give any url for you guys to checkout

Hi mcfrojd,

The only answer I know is to work though the JavaScript to see what could be making this change. Tedious but usually reliable.

If i only know what to look for..
My coding experience is'nt that good im afraid..

Hi mcfrojd,

you said earlier that while the yoo js is ON you can not see the text but the field moves as if the text is there, correct ? at this moment, press CTRL+A at your keyboard, can you see the text there selected now ?

No! the text is not there, not in the same colour as the background, but the field boves up andmakes room for the text.
It must be something with the "visible: hidden" statment... but what cause it?

Ok, try this, put the cursor in the field then click outside, the text doesn't appear ? see if its visibility: hidden; or not

nobody never had this problem, I think its a YOO theme conflict, these YOO themes loads tons of JS and it may be anything!

Hi mcfrojd,

You can try forcing the css by putting this in the form html:

<style type="text/css">
<div#advice-required-name {visibility: visible;}
</style>

No the code didnt help..

i am also seeing this in a yoo theme template. i think it has to do with the yoo validation that it runs...?? anyway, has anyone figured this out...?

SOLVED: go into com_chronocontact>js>mooValidation.js there is a line in there that adds the visibility: hidden. change to visibility: visible

that's it.
