Long time, no see. Long story short... Had a website. It was crapola. So we put together a new one! We are using a CMS called "Mambo Schools", which essentially nothing more then Joomla with some school-specific features/modules.
Basically, I copied & pasted the old code (into the WYSIWYG Editor of Joomla), but that didn't work 100%. I had to remove the links because they didn't work.
So what I need to know is what is the solution here? I have removed the hyperlinks to the lists but I have KEPT the actual lists in the code. They just don't show up on the new page (for reasons I don't really understand, but it's not important).
Can someone help me out with this? I'm a little rusty at all this coding stuff, but I'm sure I can grasp it again pretty quickly with some help from you gurus.
Did you include the javascript from the head of the document? That javascript actually controls the hiding and revealing of the list.
You probably can't edit stuff inside the <head></head> of the document using Joomla's WYSIWYG editor, so you'd need to add it directly to the template.
Hope that helps.

Yeah, that's the issue. I really have no way to include JS in the <head>. If there's no other way, I'll attempt that route. But is there ANY other way?
Yes. Try putting the javascript in the body of the document. Does your WYSIWYG editor allow you to edit the source code directly? Most of them have a switch between Code view and WYSIWYG view.
So, anyway, do you not personally have access to edit the template? How about any of the other files on the site? You could paste the javascript into one of the existing .js files that is already referenced in the head of the document.

Yeah, I can edit source code in the WYSIWYG editor. Will it work in the body, you think?
I have access to the Joomla files, but don't know much about Joomla and what files I'd need to play with. Could I do it all? Sure. But it'sd be an awful lot of work for something so minor, and I'm trying to find a more effective way, that's all.
