I have a new 5.1 installation. Everything was fine until after I had installed TinyMCE. I am pretty certain this caused the problem. I have now disactivated but the problem persists: links to collapse, un-collapse fieldsets are not there in FFox...but there in IE.

Has anyone else come across this issue? Is it a known bug? It may have nothing to do with TinyMCE but I'm quite sure about the timing of this problem showing up.

What version of Firefox are you running?

I find this can happen when a JavaScript error occurs, stopping the drop down code from kicking in. This can be caused by any modules that load JS including TinyMCE, although I've not personally had a problem with that module on drupal 4.7, might be different in the drupal 5 version.

Although it is alittle wierd its only in Firefox & not IE. As pcoghlan says, what version of Firefox are you using?

You could possibly check the 'Tools > Error Console' option in Firefox (v2 - should be the same in v1/1.5), once opened, click the red 'x' in the top right to clear everything, & then try loading your page to see if anything is reported.

I have updated a website to Drupal 5.1 and the collapsible fieldsets in the administration pages stop working while using Camino in Mac OS X.

They worked perfectly in Camino using Drupal 4.7.* and they work perfecly now using Safari.

Is this probably a JavaScript error…?

I am having the same issue with Firefox as well as IE7. I have tried using the collapse.js from version 4.7.6 but I get the same result. One workaround is using the firebug add-on to Firefox. Click inspect, then click on the link that is supposed to uncollapse the div. You can then delete the term "collapsed" and the div will unhide.

Like I said, a workaround, but this is definitely a bug.

I'm having the same issue with Drupal 5.2.dev, collapsed links in administration menus dissapear after some time on Firefox v2.0.0.3 (Mac version), clearing cache in Firefox solves the problem and links reappear.

I've encountered similar problems and clearing the cache does seem to fix it.

Okay, so I've poked around for a day or two and not seen an apparent solution to this. I have cleared my FF cache, and it still happens... the text for the collapsible section appears as black text for a moment, and then disappears.

I hadn't though to try IE, but sure enough, it works fine on every page I was having problems with fine in IE7.

Definitely a FF issue, and not something that is definitely cleared up with cache... I do have firebug installed, and there are no errors when this is happening.

I'd be interested to see someone look further into this.

Same issue, collapsed fields stopped showing up in Mozilla browsers (Firefox, Camino).

bookmark_us-5.x-1.2 module suspected, but collapse.js should be more robust.

UPDATE: probably not bookmark_us... anyone figured out what the actual problem is?

I've encountered a similar problem in various themes. The patch from #35 in issue #104175 fixed it for me. Haven't had any problems since.

Cheers,

Awesome - that worked for me too! Thanks snpower.

Here is the patch:

  
fieldset legend {
    display: block; /* FF fix */
    color: #444; /* IE fix */
    padding-right: .2em; /* FF fix */
    padding-left: .2em; /* FF fix */
  }
