Is this a forum bug?

Open IE - get into the forum.

Choose QUICK LINKS - Who's OnLine.

Now - from the Who's Online page - RIGHT CLICK the QUICK LINKS and OPEN IN NEW TAB.

That menu bar is now very different - no more quick links.

Where did that menu bar come from??

No, it's not a bug.. That's the non-JavaScript enabled version. When you click quick links JavaScript opens the drop-down. However when you right-click and select the link to open in a new tab, JavaScript is taken out of the equation and you get the non-JavaScript version.

Thanks for the quick answer!

And yet it works just fine in Forefox.... go figure.

Didn't work for me in FIREFOX.

you must not have done exactly what he said, because it works exactly the same for me in Firefox. It would have to. When you click a JavaScript function is called, but when you right-click, the JavaScript will not respond to that event handler, it's only coded for the on click event.

If you view the source of the two pages you can see the big difference in how those drop-down menus appear in one page and not the other.

Here's what I did:
1) Click "Quick Links" -menu opens....
2) Clicked "Who's Online" .... new page appears....
3) Clicked "Quick Links" ... menu opens...
4) Right-clicked "Who's Online".....
5) Selected "Open in new Tab"
6) New tab appears with the "Who's Online" page...
7) Clicked "Quick Links" ... menu appears....
8) Repeated steps 5-7 three times... each time a new tab opened and the Quick Links work.

What did I do "wrong"? Doesn't break for me.

#3 should be a right-click

Now - from the Who's Online page - RIGHT CLICK the QUICK LINKS and OPEN IN NEW TAB

I've gotten used to that because if you right-click SEARCH you don't get a quick search in a new window/tab - you get the FULL SEARCH - nice one step way to get a full search but leave your current window intact.

Plus I just wrote my first ASP.net page - so I'm digging into this stuff now...

[techgnome]

Ah... OK.... I get it now.... and I've figured out that it is this bit "nojs=1" in the URL that stops it.... if I reset it to 0, the menu reverts back to what it normally is.

curious.... interesting to know.

The Who's Online link should really be at the bottom with the thread tools link in on on in the Javascript version. :)
