Why aren't the listboxes and textareas functioning on my website?

Question

Nothing happens when I click on the dropdown boxes when I have several individuals selections for each box. When I clcik on the textarea nothing happens either. You can't type anything at all.

For example, if I have an age listbox....name is 18, value is 18.

Are you are trying to apply your own scripts? (what program are you using?) or are you using a Yahoo tool such as PageBuilder?,  To better help you more information would be helpful.

If you are not using Yahoo PageBuilder, try the following..

Go to your "Web Hosting Control Panel"

Click on the tab that reads "Create & Update"

Scroll down find "Yahoo! PageBuilder" Click that link

You now should see a tab that reads "Launch PageBuilder" If you do not see that tab then you should see something that reads..



"If you do not see a link above, you may need to

turn Java on, or install Java. "

After you've turned on or installed java,  then you should see what you couldn't  see before "Launch PageBuilder"  

Now launch "PageBuilder" it should go through it's loading process.... as you will notice ..

Now once it has finished loading ..  find the links  above file, edit etc look for "insert" click that link a drop down menu should appear

at the very bottom you'll see "Forms & Scripts" now insert the forms that you are trying to apply (may take some playing around with)

Then find  the tab above that reads "Preview"  preview it and find the link in your browser that reads  "view" click it a drop down menu

Toward the bottom you'll see "Source"  click on it and you should now see how it works, study it and you should have something working in no time,  it seems like a lot involed but it's really pretty simple..

Hope this helps, if not you directly maybe some one  will get use out of it..

re:PS ..  Oh ok so you do use PageBuilder,  check this link out  http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting...  also try not setting the values see what happens..

Concerning not being able to click in text field, I've experienced that if you have the forms to close together it makes it difficult to click in them,  if you put your cursor in the very top left corner of box,  you should then see what I'm talking about .. If your forms are close to one another try separating them a bit,  also as far as I know you are unable to overlap the forms,  as you can with images and text..

The forms are not the best feature/function in PageBuilder, I suggest using your own script for buttons and forms,  that way you are able to customize them to better match your page..

again hope this helps...

what's the site address? maybe your internet explorer security settings need to be changed (javascript, activex etc.)
