Title: JavaScript Ignored Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # JavaScript Ignored * [Chaz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eternalskychaz/) * (@eternalskychaz) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-ignored/) * I am trying to integrate my site for better SEO. * The long story short id that i’ve found a theme where I can easily place a navbar in the header. * So far so good … * But one of the buttons in my navbar has to contain a PopUp Menu and it won’t render. It displays the “Up” image and `OnMouseover` it displays the rollover image, but it seems to ignore the JavaScript that Dreamweaver creates and places in the actual `` section. * Anyone got any clues as to why this happens? Does WP actually ignore JS ?

I think you need to look at fixing that to begin with. * Thread Starter [Chaz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eternalskychaz/) * (@eternalskychaz) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-ignored/#post-364045) * Can you send me a list? I’m not being facetious, but I just opened my page in Firefox 1.5 for Mac and got no errors at all. Everything worked perfectly. * please send the list or screen print to: * [Chaz@eternalsky.us](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-ignored/Chaz@eternalsky.us?output_format=md) * I used Dreamweaver to create the navbar, so I don’t know how it could be creating errors. * Additionally, the home page is not what gave me problems. That page is just a plain HTML page and not generated by WP. I encountered problems when attempting to add a navbar to the header of a WP theme. * So when my blog page loads, it either loads in a new window (for my testing purposes) or would have replaced the home page in that window, thereby overwriting any previous code from the homepage. * [Samuel B](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/) * (@samboll) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-ignored/#post-364046) * [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eternalsky.us%2Fnews%2Fchronicles%2Findex.php&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eternalsky.us%2Fnews%2Fchronicles%2Findex.php&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1) * [Pizdin Dim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pizdin_dim/) * (@pizdin_dim) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-ignored/#post-364050) * Error in parsing value for property ‘visibility’.

I will get on this when I get home tonight. * I do have to say, though, that it seems most of the errors reported by samboll’s validator were created by someon else. for example this error: * > `Error Line 58, column 20: document type does not allow element "li" here; > missing one of "ul", "ol", "menu", "dir" start-tag . >

>Eternal Sky Links

* was not created by Dreamweaver or myself. That is created by the code: * > `` * that is the code that WP uses to generate and display the link Categories or Blogrolls. If that’s in error, then WP needs to look into its own programming practises. * One more thing … I just loaded the homepage into Dreamweaver to see if I could quickly determine where those line `0` errors were coming from and there’s no line `0`, so I have no way to debug them. * [Pizdin Dim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pizdin_dim/) * (@pizdin_dim) * [20 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-ignored/#post-364266) * > _“that is the code that WP uses to generate and display the link Categories > or Blogrolls.

You need to check with the author of the template. * > _“I just loaded the homepage into Dreamweaver to see if I could quickly determine > where those line 0 errors were coming from and there’s no line 0, so I have > no way to debug them.” * If I were you, I’d look at “mm_menu.js” for the problem, that’s where the attributes mentioned in the error list are used. * BTW: I think your javascript declaration is wrong for an XHTML document, it needs a _type_ attribute: * `` * [richhosek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richhosek/) * (@richhosek) * [19 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/javascript-ignored/#post-364637) * I recently discovered the solution to this problem. I had a script that worked great in all browsers, no errors. Then, when I was upgrading it suddenly in Firefox I was getting the “Error in parsing value for property ‘_xxx_‘. Declaration dropped. _url_… (line 0)” * I compared the two side by side and discovered the declaration was the culprit. ` worked fine, but when I tried to upgrade to XHTML and use the problem popped up. * Like the poster, I was using very simple, standard code and the problem showed up with various types of CSS properties. In my case, is was reassigning the top and left properties for a style to move a graphic around the screen with the mouse. * `... .cursorstyle { position: absolute; visibility: visible; z-index: 2; left: 0px; top: 0px; }

... * The spanObj.top = 100; and spanObj.left = 100; lines were giving me a problem with XHTML, but not HTML. Anyone have any idea why? Seems like pretty standard stuff to me, is it somehow violating the DOM or some other aspect of CSS?
