RE: Sharepoint 3.0 Drop Down Menus not showing.

I am in the final stages of testing for deployment of WSS 3.0. I have seen a
few cases of periodic JavaScript errors that seem to take away all of the
drop down/fly out menu functionality. Here is a detailed error message I
received on one PC:

Line 1257
Char 57
Expected ‘)’
Code 0

I received reports of problems and I tried to recreate the error. Most of
the time, I am unable to recreate the error, but I was able to recreate it.
The date on my core.js has a modified date of 11/8/2006.

Hello Jerry,

The Drop down menu is generated by some jscript files, if you check the
source of a WSS 3.0 web page, you will notice it include some jscript files
as following:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"
src="/_layouts/1033/init.js?rev=VhAxGc3rkK79RM90tibDzw%3D%3D"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"
src="/_layouts/1033/core.js?rev=F8pbQQxa4zefcW%2BW9E5g8w%3D%3D"
defer></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"
src="/_layouts/1033/ie55up.js?rev=Ni7%2Fj2ZV%2FzCvd09XYSSWvA%3D%3D"></script


More specific, the menu functions are defined in core.js. Could you find in
following folder on your server?

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033

And you check this file's Modified date, is it same as the date you install
the WSS 3.0? (To ensure we get a correct verssion).

Also, if your network, is there anything to block the jscript for security
reasons? For example, you may add the site to a client's trusted site, and
set the security level to "low" for trusted site zone, will this help on
the issue?

Sincerely,

Luke Zhang
