 * Tobias, we seemed to have lost our dropdown boxes across all tables. Most notably,
   it can be found here: [http://www.willburt.com/products/light-towers/ez-specs/fold-down/](http://www.willburt.com/products/light-towers/ez-specs/fold-down/).
   Do you know if maybe a plug-in update caused this or did you update the shortcode
   for the Column Filter Widgets extension? I figured I should ask you first before
   I consult the web developers. Wonderful plug-in by the way, I can’t say that 
   enough. Thanks again!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * This is caused by some JavaScript code for Google Analytics that you have placed
   at the top of your page:
 *     ```
       var trackOutboundLink = function(url) {
          ga('send', 'event', 'outbound', 'click', url, 0);
            function () {
            document.location = url;
            }
          });
       }
       ```
   
 * That function contains a syntax error which stops the execution of all remaining
   JS on the page.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * thank you so much for the response Tobias. I’ll take a look at the code and straighten
   everything out. Thanks again for your help.

 * Well, I’m still having some issues. I removed the Google Analytics code from 
   my header.php and still don’t have the dropdown menus. I can’t seem to find the
   Google Analytics code anywhere else through out the site so I’m hoping that I
   perhaps missed it somewhere. However, when I go to the website and right-click
   and select “view source”, the Google Analytics code is gone.
 * Is there another string of code that could be affecting this or perhaps the Google
   Analytics code is located somewhere else other than header.php? Thanks for all
   of your help Tobias.

 * Hi
 * for me, that JavaScript code from above is still in the page, when I use “View
   Source”. That’s what you’ll have to find and fix or remove.

 * Thanks for your response Tobias. That string of code has been in there for over
   a year and hasn’t caused any problems up until last week. I removed the code 
   last week but still couldn’t get the dropdowns back so I put the code back in
   to maintain our analytics tracking.
 * We’re currently working to figure out why the string of analytics code is all
   of a sudden conflicting with the plug-in.
 * Thanks Tobias!

 * Hi,
 * it’s not that JS code causing a conflict with TablePress, it’s that JS code having
   some sort of syntax error.
    That simply stops the execution of all other JS in
   the page.
 * To me, it appears that the line
 *     ```
       function () {
       ```
   
 * is missing something at the beginning. I suggest to check this with the original
   source of this JS code.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
