Joomla 1.5: Admin Menu Drop Down is not working

today when i open one of my old site which i developed using Joomla and found its administrator menus not working. After searching for some time found this solution. hope help others too...

The solution to this problem that worked for me.

The mootools.js and the joomal.javascript.js aren't loading properly. Look at the source html and you'll see they're trying to load from within the Administrator folder.

To resolve this, copy the /media folder in to the Administrator folder and edit Administrator/includes/application.php, line 118 which you should find is:

$document->addScript( JURI::root(true).'/includes/js/joomla.javascript.js');

change this to

$document->addScript( JURI::root(true).'/../includes/js/joomla.javascript.js');

Not ideal, but seems to work....
Hope that helps!

  5. I have the same problem with my website's administration panel's dropdown menu but the fix on mine was different although your post helped me pinpoint the cause of why it's not working. I happened to removed the system folder under media folder. When I restored the system folder it works. :-)
