* Nothing happens when clicking the edit link next to a form element. Firebug appears
to show that necessary scriptaculous functions are not getting loaded.
* ```
Sortable is not defined
http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-form-manager/js/scripts.js?ver=3.1.3
Line 91
function fm_initEditor(){
Sortable.create('form-list',{handles:$$('a.handle')});
}
```
* ```
Effect is not defined
http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=fm-edit-form&sec=design&id=2
Line 43
if(editClick.innerHTML == 'edit'){
if(callback != "") eval(callback + '(itemID,false);');
editClick.innerHTML = 'done';
Effect.BlindDown(itemID + '-edit-div', { duration: 0.2 });
}
```

* Hey, thanks for posting the firebug output. I was enqueueing ‘scriptaculous’,
which I assumed included the effects. Turns out it doesn’t. I will release an
update shortly.
* *EDIT Turns out ‘effects’ should be included. I’ll figure this out…

* Can you see which scripts are being loaded in your page source?

* I just posted 1.5.1 which may fix your issue.

* Not sure if it fixed the original issue, but there is a new issue:
* When clicking the “Form” menu:
* ```
fm_registerSaveValidator is not defined
http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=fm-edit-form&id=1
Line 358
```
* And the following when clicking on a specific form:
* ```
fm_initEditor is not defined
http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=fm-edit-form&id=1
Line 699
and
fm_registerExtraSaveVar is not defined
http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=fm-edit-form&id=1
Line 723
```
* The second one happening a total of 4 times trying to register different variables.
* On clicking an element type to add:
* ```
fm_addItem is not defined
http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=fm-edit-form&id=1
Line 1
```
* I suppose I should add that I removed 1.5.0 by deactivating and then deleting
through the plugin panel. Then checking to make sure the files were deleted from
the webserver.

* Okay… I am curious if the tags at the head of the generated code contain
a link to my plugin’s script file and what other scripts are being loaded. Can
you check this?

* It looks like userscripts.js is loaded:
* ```
```

* It looks like the admin_init action is not firing. There is also supposed to
be a ‘scripts.js’ loaded, which are admin specific scripts for the editors. If
you remove and re-download the plugin, I have made a small change that may fix
the problem.

* It appears to be some sort of conflict with the “WP e-commerce” plugin. (their
site w/download: [http://getshopped.org/](http://getshopped.org/))
* I initially discounted it, as I still can’t find any evidence it’s making changes
to the generated settings page, but when it’s disabled I am able to add/remove/
edit/save forms and components without issue. Enabling it causes the functionality
to disappear again. (generating the same errors as above that you indicated were
occurring because scripts.js wasn’t loading) Possibly a naming conflict in init
functions or with scripts.js itself?

* The short answer is that on line 355 of wpsc-admin/admin.php (v3.8.4) we find:
* `wp_deregister_script( 'prototype' );`
* I don’t believe this is standard practice.
* The longer answer is that my scripts depend on ‘scriptaculous’, which depends
on ‘prototype’. The removal of this library causes a “conflict” with my plugin.
* The quick and dirty solution would be to comment out line 355 of wpsc-admin/admin.
php, as in, put “//” before it, or, add the following to the function bodies
on lines 271 – 276 of wordpress-form-manager.php:
* ```
wp_register_script( 'prototype', '/wp-includes/js/prototype.js', false, '1.6.1');
wp_enqueue_script('prototype');
wp_print_scripts();
```
* These are both ugly and force you to redo the hack every time you update, not
good.
* I would lobby the people at WP-e-commerce to remove the prototype library _only_
when the user is on _their_ plugin’s admin pages, rather than for the whole admin
site.
