A colleague has developed a site for me which runs in Joomla and has a
separate property listings module installed. The output from the property
search file is displayed with the addition of a pipe "|" at the end of each
statement, and we can't work out how to remove it, as the javascript code
which handles the output is encrypted.

So, my question is whether it's possible to create a conditional statement
that looks for a certain character and applies a css statement that
overrides what's already coded into a results (parsed) file?  And of course,
if anyone knows how to phrase that statement, there's a large beer
waiting...

Hope that makes sense!

There may be a way of hiding a single character, but I don't know it

What happens if you remove the pipe symbol before the output gets to the
browser.

e.g. something like
$output=str_replace("|","",$output);

Of course, it may be that the js needs the character to tell it that
it's the end of a record.  There could be a lot of different factors
going on here.

So you could remove the character with javascript.

<script type="text/javascript">

var outputstring = "This is the |output| from the search.|";
var newoutput = outputstring.replace(/\|/g, "");

document.write(outputstring); 
document.write("<br />Modified output = " + newoutput);

</script>
