Javascript breaks if I upload file! Argh!

javascript, mm_menu, breaks, re-upload

[tnrstudios]

Ok I have spent the last day and a half trying to fix this problem! Any help would be so appreciated :)

I am running [url]www.wpirg.org[/url] I inherited the code from this website from another person who developed the site in Dreamweaver. That person has since disapeared and is of no help to me.

I recently tried to update the site by changing some basic content on it (board members etc.) But it did not work.

The Problem - If I download one of the files and then re-upload it and my drop-down menu and rollovers are all disabled! For an example of this see: [url]www.wpirg.org/wpirg/staff.html[/url] and compare it to [url]www.wpirg.org/wpirg-devsite/test/staff.html[/url]

The only thing I did was download staff.html and re-upload it to /test/ and then this happens! I have since tested this on many files and it happens the same way everytime!

The Code

mm_menu.js - Can be viewed at [url]www.wpirg.org/wpirg-devsite/test/mm_menu.js[/url]

Staff.html (which connects to mm_menu.js) can view the source of it @ www.wpirg.org/wpirg-devsite/test/staff.html:

Code taking off..post was to big

Thanks to anyone who can help! I would appreciate it so much :)

> everything goes screwy!

I don't see a problem. Contract staff has the note "thanks Jess..." and Grant staff is now "none". Other than that, I see no difference between the pages.

Try clearing the cache on your browser and try it again yourself.

Sorry...I should have been more specific, the drop-down menu and the button rollovers do not work: in other words my javascript is not working.

The code appears to be slightly corrupted on the test page:

Line 257

[blue]var now = new Date();[/blue]

..becomes, on the test page, lines 258,259

[red]va
r now = new Date();[/red]

..which is a JS error.

Also check what happens to line 245.

Thanks for the help thus far :)

I editted the problem on 257, unfotunately the problem still remains (drop down and rollovers still not working)

Bernard - I dont notice anything wrong with 245...am I missing something?

[Bernard Marx]

This line (245) is broken

xoxo[9] = "http://www.opirg.org/WPIRG/testquotes/test-suzuk

In fact, lines are broken all over the place in both the HTML and JS (maybe CSS too).
Check the error message in your browser, and use Firefox's Javascript console.

Perhaps whatever prog you are using to do the uploading is corrupting your files.

Thanks Bernard its all fixed, CuteFTP for Mac was messing up my uploads!
