Non-working links on Participad pages - JS issue?

[amandafrench]

Not sure if this is a Participad issue or something specific to its installation on thatcamp.org. On pages generated by Participad, links don't work. The source code has the proper anchor tags, and on hover the correct URLs show up in the status bar, but when the links are clicked, nothing happens. Links in the Etherpad itself do work, but not the links in the HTML, including the main site nav. See e.g., http://chnm2013.thatcamp.org/notepads/notes-and-resources/ Maybe some kind of JavaScript error?

links work fine for me in chrome

Ah, thanks, John. Must be something specific to our install, maybe our theme. I'll close the issue here.

There is indeed a problem here. Notepads are not syncing their content
back to the WP database correctly because of what appears to be a
botched AJAX request on my part. The unclickable-link bit was a side
effect that I've put in a temp fix for. I'll look into the root issue to
see if I can come up with an easy fix.

I dug into this a bit more. It looks like the Notepad module assumes that the Frontend module is also enabled, and on chnm2013.thatcamp.org, Frontend was turned off. For the moment, I've enabled it there. I'll reopen this ticket so that I don't forget to fix the underlying issue (which is that Notepad should bootstrap the necessariy dependencies separately).
