Hi All,

I’ve been a good boy and spent a few hours looking through the forum to see if this has been addressed, and can’t find it anywhere!

On this site: –> foundmypad.com/forum (just scroll past the T&C’s, you don’t have to sign up!)

You’ll see the problem straightaway. Regardless of browser (IE, FF, Chrome, Opera, Safari) I get confused dropdowns.

I’ve looked in the code, and although I thought this might be a classipress conflict on the CSS, it seems there is a display : inline-block applied at the lowest level, so I can’t overcome it with CSS.

(In Chrome, if I change the display: inline-block to none for the <a class=”select Box selectBox-dropown” …/> elements in #spQuickLinksTopic and #spQuickLinksForum, that fixes the problem.  But because it seems the :inline-block is applied at element level, I can’t overcome it with css)

I’m hoping this is an easy one for you guys — I’ve been inspecting and firebugging elements all day!

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Ron

Just noticed — when I look on the simple:press support forums here, you don’t have the extra line I’ve got.

After the line <div id = “spQuickLinksTopicSelect_child” ….</div>

the forum here has two more </div> tags.

Mine has an extra line in between those tags — the <a class=”selectBox selectBox-dropdown” …. </a>

(and again similarly after spQuickLinksForumSelect_child)

It does look like classipress’s selectbox JQuery is getting in the way or causing the problem.

Does it have a way to turn it off for testing?

Hi Brandon,

Thanks for jumping in!  I’ve not found a way to turn off jQuery on Classipress, only a setting which allows it to be pulled from Google rather than served by my own server.  But, that made no difference.

Thanks again for the suggestion!

Regards,

Ron

a quick search on classipress yields the answer:

Thank you very much Mr. Papa — dunno why I couldn’t find that when I searched the forum!

That’s covered the cost of my membership right there.

Thanks again!

(now I’m looking to see if there’s a way to thumbs-up your post, or somehow vote for you … can’t find that either!)

Regards,

Ron
