Talk:Create a Drop-Down list using JavaScript and CSS

Add topic
From mediawiki.org

does not work

[edit]

Did eveyrhing but the result is not a drop-down list but just a list of links. I am using Mediawiki 1.13.3

not matching up

[edit]

I am using Mediawiki 1.19. I am quite afraid to implement this guide because of above comment and also because the required skills... I must not have. I cannot even find files named common.js and monobook.css. There are (and I did find) folders for both common and monobook under skins. There I find a config.js (for common) and a main.css (for monobook). But stopped after this initial investigation as the guide was not matching up (and didn't want to break anything). Edit: so I just made a common.js and monobook.css in mediawiki's root folder and added sample code... doesn't drop down.. looks like bulleted list instead.

Is not working at all

[edit]

JavaScript is in LocalSettings enbled
The JavaScript part is copied to MadiaWiki:Common.js
The CCS part is copied to MediaWiki:vector.css
The only thing I get is what the other guys described - A normal <UL> List
needs to be reviewed

The CSS part contains a unmatching closing </UL>

Guys, script fixed

Page updated

[edit]

At the bottom of the Code / Menu / Listing Used in Wiki Example section, the following link is dead:

http://www.mwusers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=131&d=1234407968

Same results here

[edit]

I am also getting a list of links instead of a dropdown.
Says code fixed, but not for me.
I am also using vector instead of monobook and I added the CSS to both Monobook.css and Vector.css. I wonder if using Vector is an issue.


Minor Errors Corrected

[edit]

There were some minor errors in the CSS. Cleaned up the CSS and HTML to be easier to read. The only issue I have is that the category title link itself cannot be selected. (in the example the Shortcuts cannot be selected as a link) Otherwise the code works when loaded into JSFIDDLE and on my own wiki.
