Troubleshooting
I implemented a javascript menu system tonight that I modified from Dynamic Drive. Unfortunately it's not working correctly thus the troubleshooting title on this post.
I hate troubleshooting!
The menus work in Opera and IE, but don't in Firefox. I've not tried it in any other browers but I view working in Firefox as critical so I'll keep troubleshooting this. For the moment I'm leaving things as they are--and maybe they're working in some builds of FF but just not mine. Maybe.
Making the whole thing even more puzzling is that when I previewed the new template from within Blogger, using FF, the menu works just fine. It's only after I publish the new template code that it won't work in FF. It really makes you wonder...
Well, if you can't see them--what is supposed to be appearing below the "previous posts" section is the drop down menus for my blog list and archives. This is where I got the code, and it's a nice script. I must have made some change that FF won't recognize or maybe it can't, for some odd reason, locate the scripts which are on a foreign server, not on Blogger. Since IE and Opera have no difficulty, I doubt that's the problem.
Like Alton Brown is so fond of saying: Oh, bother!

Here via Michele's tonight!
Here from Michele!
Thanks for the visit, my dear...Perhaps as we go along in all the rememberances you will see how or why I got to look different...I don't see it, of course...except in my post for tomorrow which isn't up yet but will be..(I hope) in about a half hour...I see how I changed after that severe illness when I was nine...See what you think...
here from michele's today!
said "Oh, bother!", too!
Here through Michele;
Your blog is swell!
Happy Friday :))
I had better make another copy of my template before I do anything, eh? :)
Michele sent me.
I have also used some of the dynamic drive stuff and found it to work fine, but not this particular script.
As a tip, I usually move the .js and .css to another server and simply embed a src= or @include. Not sue whether that will help any?
I assume you are trying to do something similar to the popups I use in my sidebar. Mine work with all the browsers and also allow graphics and so forth and also remember the state of anyone elses selections through the use of cookies. Its a little more javascrip, but if you like, I could send it to you with some instructions.
I assume you have reasonable knowledge of .js and .css?
Regards and email me if you want to follow up at rashbre@mac.com
michele says reboot
LOVE your new "look" here since I last visited....looks great!
