okay, now I got it working, but ONLY in internet explorer! how the heck did that happen?
hehe but anyway, how can I get it working in firefox? I haven't used any hacks to get it working in internet explorer, so now I assume I have to 'reverse hack' it to get it working in firefox.... oh, and stupidly, the problem was that i was missing page.headerData.2 = TEXT page.headerData.2.value = <script type="text/javascript" src="fileadmin/templates/js/menu.js"></script> in my template setup. DUH! Now, on to solving the firefox mystery! any help? -dave On 4/20/07, dave typo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > the dropdown menus work on an html page in firefox without javascript, > and do not work on a typo3 powered page.
