Unfortunately, I inherited this site so I don't know its history. All I've done is move it from one hosting company to another. It's running 5.1, and I'm having the following problem:

When adding content or working with any other area that has collapsible menu options, the options will not expand. For example, the File Attachments area will not expand when adding content. This only happens in Firefox. In IE it will expand, but I did notice it's not collapsing again (we can live with that).

I've looked through the forums extensively, and noted several other people have had this problem in both 5.x and 6.x, but I couldn't seem to find a definitive fix for the issue. Everyone seemed to have a different solution. I've tried some of the quicker solutions to no avail.

I'm hesitant to make any major changes such as an upgrade since I didn't build the site and I don't know what's lurking there that might also break with an upgrade. While this is not ideal, at least there's a workaround.

Has there been any consensus as to the cause/fix for this problem?

I'll only offer "general assistance" at this stage, you say you're working with Drupal 5.1. The current supported version is 5.21 .. update Drupal and see if the "problem goes away". You're a long way from the currently supported version of Drupal. Mystery abounds.

Matt - thanks for the suggestion, and I understand about the need to upgrade.

However, I've isolated the issue. As part of the conversion, we changed the Flash movie to a Jscript-based slideshow. When I remove the new Javascript, the menu options work fine in both browsers (and this is the latest versions of both Firefox and IE). When the Javascript is enabled, only IE works.

The new Javascript uses the most recent jquery library, but I'm guessing 5.1 is not totally compatible. However, since I've seen folks report this issue even with 6.x versions of Drupal I'm not sure even upgrading is going to resolve this. Does anyone know which version of Drupal is compatible with the latest version of the JQuery library, or is it some code-specific issue?
