The issue I'm having is when trying to create a new profile field.  I was able to successfully create 4 fields (First Name, Last Name, Custom Field, and Address) but now it only shows the first drop down menu that allows me to select:
When I attempt to create a new profile field the second drop down menu no longer shows up.  It used to!?

So when creating the new field the first option is: Field Name, and the options are: Contacts, Individuals, Households, Organization...etc.
Before when I selected Contacts, it would then give me a second drop down menu that had: First Name, Last Name, Email, Address,...etc.

That second field won't show up anymore.
Does anyone know why?

Ok so I tried it on the demo site and it worked perfectly.  It used to work like that before when I was adding profiles and now it has stopped working.

I use firefox as my browser, and so I thought I'd try safari, that didn't work either.

And I've installed Firebug, although I'm not really sure what I'm looking for.  I didn't really see a JS error or anything.
Here is the code around that drop down menu:

<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
<select id="field_name[0]" onchange="swapOptions(this.form, 'field_name', 0, 4, 'hs_field_name');" name="field_name[0]" onclick="showLabel();">
</select>
<select id="field_name[1]" onchange="swapOptions(this.form, 'field_name', 1, 4, 'hs_field_name');" name="field_name[1]" onclick="showLabel();" style="display: none;"> </select>
<select id="field_name[2]" onchange="swapOptions(this.form, 'field_name', 2, 4, 'hs_field_name');" name="field_name[2]" onclick="showLabel();" style="display: none;"> </select>
<select id="field_name[3]" name="field_name[3]" onclick="showLabel();" style="display: none;"> </select>

Thanks so much for your help with this.  civiCRM is such a great program!

Just a guess - Do you have any custom data (that you added recently) which has special characters like single/double quotes or any other ? If yes can you disable that for a moment and check again.

did u name the custom field exactly the same? and created it with the same values for the other fields? if not, can u do so and try to recreate

thanx
