Simple edit: purple bar at the top

Hi,
I'm sure it's been posted before but I can't find it.

In simple edit, the purple bar at the top showing the login name and the logout button is not showing up consistently:


  • IE6 (PC), FF (PC), Camino (Mac), FF (Mac): it doesn't appear
  • Opera (Mac): it appears although no pictures are displayed



    Is there an option that needs to be set somewhere to show the purple bar?

    Is it something linked to my design?



    Cheers.

If you have any javascript that is using the onload function it may be conflicting with the simple edit bar.


Are you using any javascript that is being triggered by the body elements onload attribute?

Yes, we do have an onload in the body tag.

What are the options available?

You need to store the current window.onload function in a temporary var, attach your method as the window.onload function, then call the temporary var to trigger the old window onload…


Remove the onload attribute of the body element and insert this javascript into the head of your design.

Just after posting I had a look at the source and noticed it is the technique used by Matrix when entering simple edit, it seems to work well.
Thanks James.
