Admin: re: Listall Links | Modify
I am having a problem with the Modify and reset buttons when I select "listall" from Modify Links. Neither button will do anything. I have tried reinstalling the original admin.cgi file and still have the same problem. My installation is new, and I can't be sure, but I believe it worked at one time. Any ideas on what may be the problem??

Sounds like a browser/windows problem. When that happens, first thing to do is to reboot the system, and try a fresh instance of the browser.

M$ has a resource problem, and when it starts to get low, rather than warning people (or better yet FIXING the problem) they just start to have funky errors, and then crash or lock up. The first indication of a problem is click-links not working or buttons or fields not being drawn fully.

Same with cookie and authentication problems.

First thing to do is exit all programs and reboot. (COLD if you can).

If you are still getting the same errors, then it's worth looking at, but these are not really problems people have reported, and they seem to be only occuring with 'new' installs, so it might be external influences at work (such as the need to reboot).

Pugdog,
That was my first thought also. I have done that a couple of times. It seems really weird that it would work on page 2 but not on page 1.


****Just figured it out***************
I have a banner ad column for each link. Once I deleted the banner ad from the table it works...

Any idea on why the banner would cause this???

>>>To clarify even further it was a search box banner ad. I have other banners included with other links that do not seem to affect the Modify/Reset buttons.

Anything peculiar about the code of the banner ads that keeps it from working?

Dan,
I didn't notice anything. The only difference from other banners is that it was a search box. The search box worked fine when the pages were built it just seems to cause a problem with the Modify and Reset buttons in the Admin Modify view.

Check your tags.

And.... most likely, you can't have a form within a form.
