Another Great Mod Vaupell!

I've read through the posts and I know a couple users have already mentioned this, but I thought I would post some screenshots. It seems on the lighter 'styles', the backgrounds and links look great, but on the darker styles, it seems the background is dark and the text remains dark.
If it could use the same vars(?) as the submenu (see pics). This would be great and consistent. Seems like you had this in the works though

Just installed, works good. A couple issues though. =)

Remove the FONT tags and that'll get rid of the dropdown link colors getting overridden and it'll use the defaults.

Quick nitpick "Success" is misspelled when saving data.

Also, one bug I had happen, but haven't reproduced is that when I saved a URL with an ampersand & in it, at some point, those ampersands were converted to the & when they shouldn't.

Thinking about it, I think it might of happened when I did the reorder and save or when I created them to begin with. I was able to edit them and save them without a problem though.

Thank you for your work!

Found a problem with IE7 and this display.

The tabs appear in the middle of the tabnav. They also don't have the dropdown arrow denoting that the tab is a dropdown. When you click them though, the dropdown appears where it should, as if the tab were in the correct place, but the tab is still in the middle of the tabnav.

I installed E tab and then uninstalled it, however, the etab menu didn't delete and tab a, tab b and tab c still appear, however of course when you click on tab a, b or c nothing is there anymore still i unstalled it. How do I totally remove e tab from the control panel?

Thanks

Yes it DOES NOT WORK WITH OLD BROWSERS! and never will!
plenty of alternatives that does.
will put a message in the main content post later!!

If the tabs still appear the mod is still active, but when uninstalling the plugins
should be removed, if the tabs appear, check

- plugins from the mod are gone (removed)
- CMS cache or anyother cache is cleared

Yes, old bug, but it was solved with .97 the origin of the bug was a earlyer version
where the plugins wasent formatted in the correct case sensitive SQL query's.

And only way to solve it, is open the plugins and change the SELECT strings to match your tables..

Happens ie when moveing from a windows server to a apache server..
