I am having a problem with my edit verb for Game Moderators.

here is the code

Edit(atom/O in world)
                set desc = "(object) Modify/examine the variables of any object"
                set category = "zAdmin"
                var/html = "<html><body bgcolor=gray text=#CCCCCC link=white vlink=white alink=white>"
                var/variables[0]

                html += "<h3 align=center>[O.name] ([O.type])</h3>"

                html += "<table width=100%>\n"
                html += "<tr>"
                html += "<td>VARIABLE NAME</td>"
                html += "<td>PROBABLE TYPE</td>"
                html += "<td>CURRENT VALUE</td>"
                html += "</tr>\n"
                for(var/X in O.vars) variables += X

                //Protect the key var for mobs, since that's a pretty important var!  We don't
                //want GMs editing players' keys and disconnecting them from their character,
                //after all.
                variables -= "key"

                //Protect the top-secret _temp_gm var!  This is used internally only.
                variables -= "_temp_gm"
                //Prevent this one, too.  GMs should use the GM_movement verb so they are aware.
                variables -= "_GM_lockmove"

                //Also protect these lists because you should never edit lists directly.
                //(And, because s_admin isn't capable of editing lists, and never will be.)
                variables -= "contents"
                variables -= "overlays"
                variables -= "underlays"
                variables -= "verbs"
                variables -= "vars"
                variables -= "group"
                variables -= "gmrank"

                for(var/X in variables)
                    html += "<tr>"
                    html += "<td><a href=byond://?src=\ref[O];action=edit;var=[X]>"
                    html += X
                    html += "</a>"
                    if(!issaved(variables[X]) || istype(X,/list))
                        html += " <font color=red>(*)</font></td>"
                    else html += "</td>"

                    html += "<td>[DetermineVarType(O.vars[X])]</td>"
                    html += "<td>[DetermineVarValue(O.vars[X])]</td>"
                    html += "</tr>"
                html += "</table>"

                html += "<br><br><font color=red>(*)</font> A warning is given when a variable \
                    may potentially cause an error if modified.  If you ignore that warning and \
                    continue to modify the variable, you alone are responsible for whatever \
                    mayhem results!</body></html>"
                usr << browse(html)


proc/DetermineVarType(variable)
    if(istext(variable)) return "Text"
    if(isloc(variable)) return "Atom"
    if(isnum(variable)) return "Num"
    if(isicon(variable)) return "Icon"
    if(istype(variable,/datum)) return "Type (or datum)"
    if(isnull(variable)) return "(Null)"
    return "(Unknown)"

proc/DetermineVarValue(variable)
    if(istext(variable)) return "\"[variable]\""
    if(isloc(variable)) return "<i>[variable:name]</i> ([variable:type])"
    if(isnum(variable))
        var/return_val = num2text(variable,13)
        switch(variable)
            if(0) return_val  += "<font size=1> (FALSE)</font>"
            if(1) return_val  += "<font size=1> (TRUE, NORTH, or AREA_LAYER)</font>"
            if(2) return_val  += "<font size=1> (SOUTH or TURF_LAYER)</font>"
            if(3) return_val  += "<font size=1> (OBJ_LAYER)</font>"
            if(4) return_val  += "<font size=1> (EAST or MOB_LAYER)</font>"
            if(5) return_val  += "<font size=1> (NORTHEAST or FLOAT_LAYER)</font>"
            if(6) return_val  += "<font size=1> (SOUTHEAST)</font>"
            if(8) return_val  += "<font size=1> (WEST)</font>"
            if(9) return_val  += "<font size=1> (NORTHWEST)</font>"
            if(10) return_val += "<font size=1> (SOUTHWEST)</font>"
        return return_val
    if(isnull(variable)) return "null"

    return "- [variable] -"


When you click this verb it brings up a box you can pick the atom and then once you pick that it pops up the browser with a list of all that users vars. You should be able to click on them and edit them. But nothing happens. I have no clue why.

Thanks in advance

Try re-downloading S_Admin. You might've accidently messed something up with the client/Topic() stuff he has.
