Ok so bit of an update, when you tried my component when it was downloaded straight from j-cook with no extra code added did you try and go through to the item view on the front-end? because i have just tried it on a local server and it throws up a page saying "false" and "javascript:listItemTask('cb0', 'edit')" in the address bar. however when i try it in the cook sandbox it works perfectly. please help i dont understand why this is happening if i haven't made any changes to the outputed code.
