What am I doing wrong?

same problem here

rlvassallo · #73 02-03-2010, 03:54 PM

I have tried and tried to get the drop box to work, followed the steps, and instructions as listed. To no avail, I am still left with just the text showing up by default with no drown down box displayed. When mousing over the links they fade to about 10% opacity. I have attached an image depicting what i'm referring to.

mabersoft · #74 02-03-2010, 05:12 PM

Will this be made into a product so you dont have to do the edits?

ViciousCode · #75 02-03-2010, 10:20 PM

Razfaz · #77 02-04-2010, 06:06 AM

No its work for me! Perfekt !!!

rlvassallo · #78 02-04-2010, 10:26 AM

You need to rewrite your code so it doesn't call "dropdown.js" or "dropdown.css" from the images folder.

Calling the drop down box:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="images/dropdown.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="images/dropdown.css" type="text/css" />

needs to be changed to this:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/dropdown.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="clientscript/dropdown.css" type="text/css" />

Properly change the Admin & Mod links to work correctly:
Ensure that they are calling to the proper directory. Admin: "admincp/index.php" and Moderators: "modcp/index.php"

not work and it's more uglier then the last update

Sador · #80 02-04-2010, 10:55 AM

@Vicious, it's getting kinda hard to follow what is what version and what it does and what is changed and so on.

Could you maybe add a changelog.txt or something to the attachments and update it to show what every new version does and so on? Makes it a bit easier to follow this.
