Fieldsets and collapsible fieldsets not working

Hi Brian,

So I just had a look at your PDF, thank you very much for making this, it really helps. From what I can see, it doesn't look like a Basic bug, as this don't happen in a default install, but that might be because of your install. Two things :

1/ The fieldset not being loaded properly looks like a Jquery problem. Could you make sure that these files are called in the head :

/misc/jquery.js
/misc/drupal.js
/misc/collapse.js

Also make sure that they are not missing in the misc folder.

Another possibility, is that you might have overridden the theming output of the fieldset, and change the class that they should have... did you do anything that could have change the way fieldset are build ? (like adding a theming function in your template.php or adding a module that would interfere with this)

2/ The fields overlapping each other look like a float not being cleared OR a line-height that would be way too small. Did you create any css that would make one element in the form float, like a label or such ?

For this kind of problem, as I see that your are using firefox, I would really recommend that you use firebug, it is a very nice addon of firefox that will help you tweak the css and find where bugs are hidding:

Hope that helps.

Did you add any javascript in your page template ? Sometimes it interfere with it.

As a quick and dirty fix, you can add this to your template.php, until you fix it. (without the php opening and closing tags)

//this appears in my theme template.php file
global $user;
if ($user->uid == 1) {
    drupal_add_js("/misc/collapse.js");
}

Ok, I had a look at your theme, and here is what is going on:

- The fieldset are not working because of a conflict with another Jscript.
In your page template, your are calling 2 other scripts : jquery-1.2.3.pack.js and jquery.embedquicktime.js . the problem is that you are calling them 2 times, and in one of the call, there is this : jQuery.noConflict . This seams to be the reason why the fieldset are not working. Here is what you can do, delete all the script calls you added in your page.tpl.php and add them in your template.php like this :

drupal_add_js('modules/embed_quicktime/jquery-1.2.3.pack.js', 'theme');
drupal_add_js('modules/embed_quicktime/jquery.embedquicktime.js', 'theme');

That would fix your expanding problem, and on a side note, I would recomend that you use the jquery update module instead of calling a second jquery file (the one with 1.2.3):
http://drupal.org/project/Jquery_update

Also, have you tried this ? :

- Now the fieldset style problem comes from th line 49 of styles.css : you are setting a height for the fieldset (20px) so even expanded, they won't behave like hey are tallerr than 20px. By just removing that height, or removing 'fieldset' from that css rule, you fix your problem.

Now you can also delete all the fieldset css rules in style.css as you are repeating them in main.css

Does all this makes sense ?

Fixed I guess...
