Hey all.

So take a look here: http://fictitiousmusic.com/redbarntest/services.html

Currently, I am using javascript to expand and contract the different class types that this client offers. I would like them to be able to edit the content of each class description. However, when I click the [+] within the site editor on PageLime it gives me an error page and does not expand the text (it looks like it's trying to load another page from the javascript command instead of just running the script on the current page.)

Is there anything I can do to work around this, or is this simply something that won't work?

Thanks!
Zac

Hi Zac, I'll try to take a look at this today and get back to you - it should be possible, but I guess it depends on how that javascript is wired.

It's going to be a busy Friday so there might be a slight delay before I get to this.

Best,
Emil

Thanks Emil!
I woke up this morning and tinkered around with the way I wired the javascript and got it working. For anyone else experiencing this problem, here is the bit of code that I changed:

Originally, the function to expand the content looked like this:
```
<td>
Family Music Workshop
[<a title="show/hide" id="exp1269341996_link" href="javascript: void(0);
"onclick="toggle(this, 'exp1269341996');"
style="text-decoration: none; color: #000000; ">
-</a>]
</td>
```
The "href" field was pointing to "javascript: void(0);" which the PageLime browser did not like. So, I changed the way that the script tells the browser not to go anywhere using "#" in the "href" field instead. Then I added return false; to the OnClick action which is a workaround for when some browsers think that # is an anchor point and try to load a non-existent anchor on the page, causing it to scroll to the top.

Here is the end result that ended up working:
```
<td>Family Music Workshop
[<a title="show/hide" id="exp1269341996_link" href="#"
onclick="toggle(this, 'exp1269341996'); return false;"
style="text-decoration: none; color: #000000; ">-</a>]
</td>
```
Looks like I just saved you some time in your Friday Emil! :)
