# Admin-Side Dropdowns not working

 * I hadn’t made a post on my blog in a few days, and when I went to make a post
   today, a number of things on my admin side aren’t responding at all.
 * The types of things that are not working are working are all quick-edit or dropdown
   menu items; all things that make little edits or whatnot while staying on the
   page. The type of things that DO work still are any buttons or anything that 
   loads up a new page (or submits the current page, like a post). I’m using a modified
   theme (charlene), but switching to the other built-in themes doesn’t resolve 
   the issue or change it in any way.
 * To clarify, when I click these things (let’s say the Screen Options tab) nothing
   happens. My browser’s URL updates appending “#screen-options-wrap”, but there
   is no other response.
 * I’m running OS X 10.7, and I’ve checked on Firefox, Safari and Chrome, to no 
   avail.
 * Can anyone help me?

 * Ok, so I did some more digging around, and I found this site:

 * Re-installing wp-includes/js/ solved my problem. Hopefully this helps someone
   else!
