 * Using this code [http://paste2.org/p/1464698](http://paste2.org/p/1464698) to
   load menu pages with one with a meta box in the admin. Somehow I keep on getting
   this JavaScript error
 *     ```
       [19:31:41.506] postboxes is not defined @ http://domain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=sub-page:131
       ```
   
 * Any ideas why this is?

 * Comment out that `<script>...</script>` part and see if you get the error. It
   looks like you are printing javascript from a call to `add_sub_menu()`. I’m not
   sure that will work. That function isn’t really intended, as far as I understand
   it, to be echoing html/css/javascript.
 * Usually I would `wp_enqueue` my scripts rather than print them like that or print
   it from within a function– usually my own– that is printing markup.

 * Thanks for the feedback. The script needed to work with the postboxes were not
   loaded properly because I did not call the proper action for it nor did I do 
   the call on time. Now reworking the code..

 * I moved my <script> code to the wp-footer action and now i don’t get the error,
   but my boxes don’t open/close when i click them. How can i get boxes to toggle
   open & closed when i click the title?
