# widget config problem

 * I am having an issue with configuring widgets. When I click on the configuration
   icon the configuration form does not appear. By hovering I get the tool tip that
   says “Configuration”, but clicking it has no action. I saw on a different post
   that it was suggested to clear the browser cache. I tried that method and it 
   still does not work. The configuration was working in the past, but not anymore.
   I tried upgrading to 2.2.1 as it stated their was widget fixes, but no dice. 
   I tried in Firefox and Safari with the same results. I guess I will boot up my
   old Win XP machine and try it on Internet Explorer. Does anyone else have any
   suggestions?

 * Doesn’t seem to be a browser issue as I also tried Internet Explorer and Firefox
   on Win XP. Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

 * Hi – I am also experiencing this problem. I am using the MistyLook theme and 
   running Firefox 2.0.0.4 on Mac OSX 10.4
    Also, the Default Sidebar box has appeared
   at the top of the Sidebar 1 organiser panel – that was not there before when 
   things were working fine. Trying Safari has not helped Changing themes has not
   helped I am able to remove or add widgets to my sidebar but not configure them.
   I was not having this problem before – it has only occurred after upgrading to
   WordPress 2.2.1 Being a relative newbie to all this, I’m a little in the dark
   and any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks, Shardul.

 * I am now having this exact problem as well. I get the default box displayed above
   my widgets in the sidebar box now and I’ve tried clicking on the configuration
   for any of the widgets and nothing will happen. I do have javascript enabled 
   and appear to be having no other problem. I re-uploaded the wp-includes folder
   and that didn’t help either.
    If someone could please help, I could work on my
   site and save the rest of my hair… I can’t think of anything else to try. Thank
   you. Lisa
