Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
I remember reading about that bug before, but I don't have the time to find out what happened. Is this with IE7 ? It might be an old bug that was fixed in the 5.1 release...
I had a look at your site and the call might need to be manually modified to be like this :
<body onload="startTicker();">
This shouldn't be necessary, but it seems that the auto-start stuff (if (isJsEnabled() && ... ) doesn't work for you. That would be a bug, but your site includes the misc/drupal.js file, so I can't see what's wrong...
Ok, one very weird problem occurs as a result of adding this line though. Now the ticker starts working automatically without mousing over, but all the collapsed menus in site stop working.....like say, you have search and advanced search (which is collapsed). The Advanced search link is not clickable anymore. Same happens with a number of other collapsed links.
Oh yeah, not only do collapsed menus stop working, even nice menus don't work anymore. I don't know if its only me or others are having the same problem.....

markhope commentedI can confirm I too experience this problem.
Firefox 2/Mac OS X

Got it working by manually adding body onload.

mathieu commentedIn your theme's page.tpl.php. There is (hopefully!) already a tag .. you need to add the onload="startTicker();" part.
