This is not likely going to be fixed any time soon^*

*: never

I might fix it myself if I get the time/motivation to do so.

We weren't even testing for that.

Of course, if someone were to provide the working JS code, it would get fixed somewhat faster.

Here is the formatting bar code, if I'm correct:

	</script>

What is checkBrowser()? It's meant to make the bar only show in IE, right?

  function checkBrowser()

  {

    return (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4) //checks to see if IE is running

  }

Apparently so.

Why is that function needed?

I suggest we transform it to:

function checkBrowser()

{

  return true;

}

Alternatively, remove any instances of it.

You might want to save the new reply page to your computer so you can fiddle with it however you like.

Actually, if I do it, the bar fails to load its images because their addresses are relative. But the bar doesn't seem to work correctly under Firefox anyway. I might try to code something...

Actually a better question would be "Why is the toolbar so important"

That's what I have been asking all the time too. The four (?) years I've lived without it, I did not miss it at all. But people seem to get annoyed by the presence of broken toolbars on a board.

In menu.js, try replacing the showLayer() func by this one. It should do the job.

// SHOW MENU

function showLayer(layerName, e)

{

  MenuOn=1

  if (NS4 || IE4 || DOM)

  {

    if (timeOn != null)

    {

      clearTimeout(timeOn)

      hideLayer(onLayer)

    }

    if (NS4 || IE4)

    {

      eval(layerName+'.style.left=e.clientX-e.offsetX')

      eval(layerName+'.style.top=e.clientY')

      eval(layerRef+'["'+layerName+'"]'+styleSwitch+'.visibility="visible"')



      activeLayer=layerName;

    } 

    if (DOM)

    {

      document.getElementById(layerName).style.visibility='visible';

      document.getElementById(layerName).style.left=e.clientX;

      document.getElementById(layerName).style.top=e.clientY;

    }

  }

  onLayer = layerName

}

And of course don't forget to remove the calls to checkBrowser()

I will consider implementing your fixes, but more likely than not it will just be completely rewritten.

It is also of a very, very low priority right now, so.

But implementing this fix isn't that much to do. It is just matter of opening menu.js, copy-pasting the new showLayer() func, saving and closing the file, et voila, it's fixed!

EDIT: oops. There are also the calls to checkBrowser(). But you can just make it return true.
