Thanks for taking the time for looking at this, I copied both lots of code into the templates but the issue was not resolved. I'm lost to be honest.
I added a drop down to the members button last night, and had the same issue on the homepage.. after checking i noticed the id's were different, not the case though with the portal, I've also added a drop down on the 'Home' button for a choice between the Forum home or the Portal .. all these drop down's work fine anywhere else apart from the portal page, I am really lost as to what this is.. I'll post an update of my navbar and header.. I've tided them up a bit.
Navbar:<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function log_out()
{
ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";
if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
{
return true;
}
else
{
ht[0].style.filter = "";
return false;
}
}
//-->
</script>
