Make sure there are no javascript errors on the page. Any javascript error can stop all javascript from working.

I know there will be bugs in this system, that's why its in beta. But I can only fix them If you can show me how to make them appear.

This type of report is really useful to me:
Quote:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected result?

What happens instead?

Please provide any additional information below.
Attach a code sample as text, a screenshot or screencast if possible

Cheers :)

sure will tomorow
as far as the unresponsive buttons though it just happened suddenly after a repair (never copy and paste the datastore items lol it accidently included extra code that broke it)
but after that repair everytime id click it in normal mode it wouldnt respond and like u see in the code i posted it seems like its disabled in the code (if thats what it meant)

going into repair mode it worked everytime
in regular mode if i clicked and clicked and clicked eventualy it worked
i had the same results in ie

hmm the only thing i didnt try was a integrity check

oh there was 1 lil javascript i did add and a few template edits for the custom scrollbar
tomorow ill remove that temporarily just to make sure thats not it

Repair mode displays the page without the content you've added to a widget. Which means chances are high that something thats been added to a widget is the cause of the issue.

that seems likely see i set my body text color to white since i use white trext almost everywhere then the few places that are white ion white i set those alone to black since this moodules new and when i copy/pasted the ids in it snuck in hidden code i couldnt see unless i looked at code source and thats what kept breaking it
so its possible the save just wasnt working cause there was a hidden div inside the code
tomorow ill make a css change to correct that hiden code issue and do a thourough testing

oh 1 suggestion
add a height setting to the widgets and a overflow setting
cause i love the ease of rearanging the widgets and everything but then i ended up with a mess of odd heights making it look all garbled and then id have to fix it all in css
so if the goal is to help ppl who arent so css savy being able to set the heights in the widgets or even a "match row height to tallest /shortest item" type thing
