CS3 "Show Pop-Up Menu" Behavior Help

I just got CS3 (and un-installed DW8) and I have learned that
the "Show Pop-Up Menu" behavior is depreciated. The problem I'm
having is it is Grayed out (And yes, I made sure I had a 'link'
selected when I tried to choose this behavior) Does anyone have any
suggestions what to do so this selection is not grayed out? Is
there a setting in the Preferences that I missed or is CS3 just
teasing me w/a remembrance of this easy to use pop up menu maker?
Any help is appreciated :)
Thanks,
Monica

ps: I do know about the "Spry assets" but I want to see if
the above option is possible first. thanx :)

The functionality has been REMOVED as a primary function in
CS3. It will
allow you to edit a LEGACY MENU, but not create a new menu
from scratch.
This is a good thing. The DW menus were indescribably
horrible.
In their place, use the Spry menus, or -

"Show Pop-Up Menu" behavior problems

Greetings—
The "Show Pop-Up Menu" under Add Behaviors is grayed-out and
won't allow additional links to be added to the templates. I'm
currently on DW MX 2004.
Thank you

Show pop-up menu behavior

For some reason when I select my object to attach a
Pop-up Menu from the behaviors panel it is grayed out. What am I
doing wrong? Please help!

Frankly, what you are doing wrong is using the Pop-up menus
in the first
place. You have no idea how awful these are. Please read this

Help with Show Pop-UP Menu behavior

Using the behavior, I want to link to a page using the _blank
option
so it displays in a new window. However, I want to control
the size
of that new window. How do I do that with this behavior?

Yes. All of that and so much more. They are not accessable.
They do not
work AT ALL if js is disabled. They cannot be spidered so
your site will
not get ranked if they are your only navigation element. They
are not
compatible with DW templates. They create a page maintenance
nightmare for
you. Want more?
There are MUCH better ways to do such things....

Show pop up menu- behaviors

i can't see show popup menu in behaviors in Dreamweaver CS3 ,
is it exist in another place or i need to install it ,

The Show Popup Menu was deprecated. You should be able to
find it in the ~Deprecated flyout when you click the + button on
the Behaviors panel.
However, please I believe that you can only work with a page
that already has a popup menu on it and you cannot add new one to
page that doesn't have one on it already. As this feature is
deprecated Adobe suggest working with the Spry menus (on the Insert
bar) instead.
For a commercial solution that offers a number of styling
options beyond what you get out of the box for the Spry menus, you
may want to consider WebAssist's CSS Menu Writer:

Show Pop-Up Menu error

I'm having a problem with my site menu. The site works off a
template and all links are created in the template. I have a
central menu bar with rollover buttons, each with their own
drop-down menu (using the Show Pop-Up Menu behavior). When tested
in the browser, the menu drops down on mouse-over as it's supposed
to, but when the links in the drop-down menu are clicked on, an
error page comes up. The directory path specified in the Pop-Up
Menu behavior is correct, but changes inexplicably when tested in
the browser. All other links in the site (not in drop-down menu
format) function as they're supposed to. I have no clue how to fix
this problem. I think there may be a script error in the mm_menu.js
file which is automatically created by Dreamweaver, but am not sure
how to go about correcting this. Any ideas?

> When creating pop-up menus everything works fine
You just think. Read this (written by the person who adapted
the original
Netscape code for Macromedia) -
http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
Those menus are a plague.
Anyhow, try this -

Edit Show Pop-Up Menu

I'm using Dreamweaver's Show Pop-Up Menu Behavior. I have a
sample drop down of 3 links. I'd like to give each of the drop down
cell's a unique rollover color. Can this be done somehow? If so,
what javascript do I have to edit?

The menus are notoriously bad. I'll even say they are
famously bad. You
wouldn't want to use them ever. Here's why, and some
alternative
recommendations -

Show pop-up menu option is always gray!

Hi!
I have a serious problem!
I'm trying to create a pop-up menu in Dreamweaver cs3 (not
using the spry options)
Anyway, I'm *not* using a template. I created an empty link
and the option for show pop-up menu in the behavior window is
*always* gray!!! I have no idea why!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!
thanks,
tal.

If your new template is using the DW popup menu you will not
be able to
update the links as Gary already mentioned. The reason for
this is that all
the links for your popups are in an external javascript
file... when it
comes time for a child page to be updated, it cannot read the
links in the
js file and does not update your pages.... this is *one* of
the reasons why
this pop menu system is not highly thought on this forum....

Show Pop Up Menu

I'm having trouble accessing the "show pop up menu" option in
the behaviors + palette. It's greyed out.
I am just trying to create a pop-up menu for some links.
Here's what I'm doing:
1. highlight the word that will be the link
2. type # in the link window (I've also tried to insert a url
here)
3. I've tried selecting the link word or selecting the
reference to it at the bottom of the DW page
4. Click on + in the behaviors palette
Thank you

What happened to 'Show Pop-Up Menu' in Dreamweaver CS6?

I've been using Dreamweaver for several years now and through several different versions. In Dreamweaver 8, under Behaviors, I had 'Show Pop-Up Menu' as a way to create attractive menus. Now in CS6, it is gone. Is there a way to get it back or at least an alternate way of adding pop-up menus?

The menus that were part of the older version of DW using javascript have been deprecated. In addition, the CS6 Spry feature has also been deprecated. As a result you are left with a few options.
Option 1 - Get an addon from the exchange (Adobe Add-ons ) or from third party sources like PVII ( Projectseven.com - Products ).
Option 2 - Consider a framework or CMS that comes with a drop down menu code or UI admin option to maintain the menu.
Given that you still have a menu on your website, for the time being, you should be able to edit the code to maintain the menu, but moving forward I would definitely seek out an alternative solution.

Pop up menu behavior

I'm using Dreamweaver 2004 MX
Created a Pop up menu behavior in my Template and it worked
OK.
When new html pages are created based on theTemplate, the Pop
up menu does not work. Any suggestions?

Where is the "show pop-up" menu in iTunes 12?

Instructions on "Import items from other libraries using home sharing" are clear enough, and also appear to be wrong. There is no "show pop-up menu" option in V 12. This makes it impossible to add music or videos from another library.

did you not have an answer to this yet? its march now. whats that all about? I have the same problem, did you sort it out yourself?

Pop up menu reference help

I am new to numbers and am trying to develop a logbook to track my flight time. I need to be able to keep running totals of total time and by aircra type. I have a number of questions, but I think this is the one to start with:
i would like to have a pop-up menu (drop down list) to be able to select which aircraft type in a cell. I want the pop-up menu items to be based on what is typed into a different cell (reference cell).
i would like whatever txt is typed in a range of cells to be what is available as a pop up in a different range of cells.
In table 1 if I type C182t in cell b1 thru b10, I want C182t to be available as a pop-up or drop down menu in table2, f2-f200.
i.e.
table 1, b1 I type C182t
table 2 (f2 thru f200) have C182t in pop up/dropdown
Next In table 1, b2 I type PA28R
table2 (F2 thru f200) now have C182t and PA28R as choices
and so on....
thanks in advance nce for the help
anthony

In table 1 if I type C182t in cell b1 thru b10, I want C182t to be available as a pop-up or drop down menu in table2, f2-f200
Inspired by quinn's script, here is a specific AppleScript solution to this problem.
Given a first table named 'Aircraft Types', with C182 in B1 and PA28r in B2:
C182t
PA28r
And a 'Table 2' like this:
A
B
C
D
E
F
PA28r
C182t
PA30
PA28r
PA30
C182t
You can copy-paste this this script into Script Editor and run it to populate column F with Pop-Up Menu containing the choices from 'Table 1'. Whenever you add an item to 'Table 1' just one-click will update the Pop-Ups. (It's not fully automatic the way it can be in Excel, but it's just one click. No need to get involved in the details of the script... unless you want to.).
--change to match where popup values are listed:
property source : {sht:"Sheet 1", tbl:"Aircraft Types", col:"B"}
--change to match range where you want the Popup Menu cells:
property target : {sht:"Sheet 1", tbl:"Table 2", col:"F"}
property guiDelay : 0.15 -- may need to increase on your machine
tell application "Numbers" to tell front document
tell sheet (source's sht) to tell table (source's tbl)
set the selection range to first cell -- put focus on table to sort
sort by column (source's col) direction ascending -- omit if want orginal order
set popSrcRng to my makeBodyRng(source's sht, source's tbl, source's col)
set popSrcRng's format to pop up menu
set selection range to popSrcRng's last cell --put 'first cell' if want default to be first value,etc.
my copyPaste("c")
set column (source's col)'s format to text -- restore format so can add new items as needed
end tell
tell sheet (target's sht) to tell table (target's tbl)
set range (target's col)'s format to text -- clear any existing popups
set selection range to my makeBodyRng(target's sht, target's tbl, target's col)
my copyPaste("v")
end tell
end tell
to makeBodyRng(theSht, theTable, theCol) -- builds the range for just the body cells in a column
tell application "Numbers" to tell front document's sheet theSht's table theTable
set theRange to range ((column theCol's cell (header row count + 1)'s name) & ¬
":" & (column theCol's cell (row count - footer row count)'s name))
end tell
end makeBodyRng
to copyPaste(k)
activate application "Numbers"
delay guiDelay --gives user interface a chance to catch up
tell application "System Events" to keystroke k using command down
end copyPaste
Be sure to change the values in the property statements (within the quotes) if your tables have different names, are on a different sheet, or if you want the Pop-Ups in a different column. And, of course, make sure it runs the way you want on a test document before using it with your real data.
SG
P.S. quinn, note that you can get AppleScript to indent properly on the forum by clicking 'html' and removing the minus sign wherever you see something with this pattern: text-indent: -39.3px. (The number will vary; just delete the - wherever you see it). Then click 'Show Full Editor' upper right to return to the normal view. A little bit of a pain, but it goes quickly, and does the trick until they fix whatever bug is inserting those minus signs.
