You can ignore the scriptaculous bits (that's a rather aging library that does stuff like collapsing/transitions etc).

I think the issues (insertBefore, removeChild) are caused by missing elements: the _javascript_ files expect a certain structure in the HTML and it can't find it. They may be some <div> with specific ID's etc. Anyways, it's likely that your changes in Documents have changed the DOM structure thus breaking the _javascript_. 

That's my guess anyway - if you have the patience you may compare a working version of the documents uploader/page/content with your broken one and you may find out which elements are missing.

I've tried fiddling about with 89_component_documents (as I'd made my other changes to the Documents.pm file in Components), but without success.  I'm not even sure what scriptaculous means let alone what it might do....

Hello all,

I've been adapting the document listings to group documents by type so 
that they can be displayed with their relevant upload box.  This works 
lovely when you load the edit screen, but after that, behaviour becomes 
more erratic:

1)  When I upload a file, even though the type is set at upload, it 
lists in all documents lists on the page

2)  When I click on the Files icon to look at e.g. the MD5 checksum, 
then press cancel, it loads any documents it can find regardless of 
type, although sometimes doesn't load the ones you were just looking at 
or seems only to recognise some of the documents.

I can get it to not display the items' content but still get stuck with 
empty boxes.

I think it's something in the _javascript_, but I'm out of ideas on where 
to look for the code that's generating these refreshes.

Any ideas?

Lizz
