DW Pop-up menu problems

Ive used Dreamweaver to generate the pop-up menus on the
following page;
http://new.andersonsolicitors.com/index_dd_test.php
The problem is in IE, next to the top two items under
'services' there is the symbol that you see if you have a link to
an image that is broken. Does anyone know how to sort this? These
items are part of a tree, with further menus coming off them
Also, some of the text is too long to fit in the width of the
menus, does anyome know hoe to make the text wrap in this case?
Many Thanks

Please read this very carefully. You need to re-think this
approach....

Fireworks 8 pop up menu problem

My problem involves creating a pop-up menu in Fireworks 8 and
then when Iimport into Dreamweave 8, and then preview using
Firefox, or EI, the box gets cut off and the words hang off the
edge. I have the width and height specifications in Fireworks set
to automatic. When I preview in Firefox or EI from fireworks, it
looks great, so it almost seems it is something in the transition
from Fireworks to Dreamweaver. Anyone deal with this?

Help! Pop-up menu problem

I made a pop-up menu in a trial version of Fireworks 8.
Everything works great within Fireworks, but when I try to insert
it in Dreamweaver 4 (using the Insert Fireworks html button) it
tells me that I need to insert an Fireworks html that was exported
from Fireworks. The pop-up menu I made was exported as an html from
Fireworks. Help!

I don't think you are going to have much success trying to
marry DW4 with
anything contemporary. It's methods and structure are so
antique, you know?

Pop out menu problems

I put a pop out menu on the second navigation button on this
site. I used the dreamweaver 8's behaviors panel to create it.
In two of the pages the index and the music page the pop-out
menu does not appear when published to the internet.
It does appear when I preview in browser window. I cannot for
the life of me figure this out. I have tried changing
the non- choice in the target window to _parent or _blank and
it still doesn't show up on the internet. I appreciate any and all
help.
Any one out there with some advice?
Thanks,
PB

> Any one out there with some advice?
Yes, but you aren't going to like it. I wouldn't recommend
that anyone use
those menus in DW8. There are much better ways -

You can't use just buttons for it. You need to use button
within movie clip.
Frame 1 Master Bar, on roll over go to frame 2 where you have
rest of the
buttons.
You can also have on the frame whatever you wish, Master Bar,
extra notes etc...

The spry pop-up menu I built in Adobe Dreamweaver worked fine in my old Firefox, I updated Firefox today and the menu no longer works--despite disabling the pop-up blocker in Firefox preferences...what's the problem??? I need the menu to work!!!

I built a new pop-up menu for my website using Spry in Adobe Dreamweaver. Because of some differences in .HTML and .XHTML
it took me days to get it right. I tested every variation in Firefox until it worked perfectly. Today, I installed the newest version of Firefox and now the pop-up no longer works. I changed the preferences in Firefox to disable to pop-up blocker and it STILL DOESN'T WORK...although an older style of pop-up menu (menu machine) which is no longer supported by Adobe, DOES WORK.
HELP!!! THIS IS IMPORTANT.

pixlor:
OP is using CS3 and the menu blog is talking about the menus
in earlier
versions of FW, so *most* of the points made in the blog
don't apply.
That's not to say that using CS3 pop-up menus is a *good*
thing....

"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

> Does anyone have any suggestions what to do so this
selection is not

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 -
Check the uberlink and MacFly tutorials at PVII -

Problem with pop up menu created in fireworks

I have created a banner with buttons and added a pop up menu to them.
They work perfectly with-in Fireworks.
I then export page to dreamweaver and both banner and buttons display properly but I cannot get pop up menu to show at all.
I want to choose each menu and make the links with-in dreamweaver but cannot get pop up top show.
I am using CS5 and would appreciate your help.
AlSO I AM STILL LEARNING SO IF YOU COULD KEEP IT AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. I HAVE CREATED A QUICK BANNER WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE ONE I WANT TO CREATE. THE LIST OF BUTTON ARE PLACED INTO MY BANNER AND I HAVE ADDED POP UP MENUS TO ALL WITH 3 CELLS DEEP DROPPING DOWNWARDS. WHEN I VIEW THESE IN PREVIEW IN A WEB BROWSER FROM FIREWORKS THEY WORK PERFECTLY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THIS PAGE TO DREAM WEAVER AND HAVE IT DISPLAY THE POP UP MENUS. THEY WILL SHOW AS AN IMAGE AS IT IS SEEN HERE BUT WILL NOT DROP DOWN IN PREVIEW BROWSER IN DREAM WEAVER. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SELECT THE INDIVIDUAL LISTS IN THE DROP DOWN MENU AND CREATE LINKS TO VARIOUS PAGES WITH-IN MY SITE IN DREAM WEAVER. IT MAY BE THE CASE THAT I AM NOT EXPORTING IT PROPERLY OR SAVING IT CORRECTLY.

Pop up menu link problem in MX

I've added a test pop up menu which isn't working. The drop down 'New Link' links to www.taxaccount.co.uk/cgs.html but it doesn't show the link when clicked although the drop down does show. I've also uploaded the mm_menu.js file but no joy. Any ideas what to do to solve the problem please?

Your link code is being processed to search
for: http://www.taxaccount.co.uk/www.taxaccount.co.uk/cgs.html
which, as you can see, contains your domain name twice.
Change target code to target just cgs.html
Now that you have provided the link to the problem page, we can see the call for the remote javascript
<script language="JavaScript" src="mm_menu.js"></script>
located just above your </head> tag

Pop up menu colour problem

Hi,
I tried to make a navigation bar in fireworks with a pop-up
menu as well. I set the colour for the nav bar to be the same a s
the web page its used for. However when I insert the resultant
nav-bar into dreamweaver and preview it the colour is very grainy.
Could anybody help with this? You can see what i mean if you look
at www.hearttohand.net
thanks

How did you export the images? Or did you do that
explicitly...? Hmm.
I know Fireworks can save HTML, but don't use it. Export your
images and give them real, meaningful names and build the navbar in
Dreamweaver. Do you even know what this image is:
<img name="navbar_r1_c1"
src="images/navbar/navbar_r1_c1.gif" width="800" height="7"
border="0" id="navbar_r1_c1" alt="" />
Make your mockup in Fireworks. Set slices and name the slices
so that you get image file names like home.gif, news.gif, and
history.gif to work with in Dreamweaver.
When you go to export your slices (File>Image Preview in
CS3), set your palette to Adaptive or Exact, rather than Web 216.
Adaptive or Exact palettes will use the colors of your image,
rather than dithering (which is what looks like is happening for
you) or shifting your colors.
Also, for your banner, you should export at a higher quality
level on the .jpg image. You have quite a bit of noise in it.

ICal 5.0.3 Repeat pop-up menu not appearing

I created a new calendar and then copied events from the previous year into it. Now I'm trying to set events to repeat yearly, but when I pull up the event, I'm not getting the pop-up menu that allows me to reset the time or repetition. This problem only seems to happen in the events I copied from the previous calendar. Is there anything I can do, short of re-typing each event?

Using iCal 5.0.3, I used to see a "repeat" option for events on my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.7.5) and on my iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1), but the option has disappeared, both for new events and for existing events opened for editing. iCal on both the MBP on iPhone syncs to iCloud.
What could have happened to the "repeat" option?

Best way to create pop-up menu's

Hi All,
I have been having a heck of a time doing something that i
would have assumed to be relatively simple - specifically creating
a pup-up menu.
My first set of approach was to dynamically create a movie
clip on a button rollover, and within that movieclip create several
other movie clips that i then assigned actions too. The problem was
that since i applied a action on "rollout" on the initial movie
clip, it became a button, and as such all of the sub
movieclips/buttons became in active (any click was only detected on
the parent).
My second set of attempts have been around the MenuComponent
(see other posts), but here too i have hit problems, initially with
animation and depth. I solved the animation issue, but the depth
problem remains.
Now, i see pop-up menu's everywhere, so i assume that this is
a relatively simple problem - so what am i missing. A google search
showed up lots of examples of how to do using menu that are created
in the UI (rather than purely in AS), using purchased components.
The first case is not an option since i need to create it fully
dynamically, the second would be an option - however i typically
need a far greater level of visual control than off the shelf
components provide (hence i have needed to build up my own class
library for many common tasks).
So after all that, i have a simple question.
"What is the best way to create a dynamic popup menu in
AS2?"
Regards
Neil

I guess you want to make your own popup menu, if I understand
correctly. Nothing simpler, your first attempt was in the right
direction, you just don't assign button actions to the parent clip,
because you won't get the child clips to work, but add another
child at the lowest level inside the parent, that acts as a
"background" clip/button.
And for the rollout for the entire popup, you can add a
transparent clip just under the popup (which is at the currently
topmost depth) covering the entire stage, give it rollover that
acts as your rollout, and make it not use the hand currsor, so you
can't tell it's there.
That's how I do it, anyways..

Dreamweaver 8 Behaviors for pop-up menu

I am a novice user of Dreamweaver 8. I created a site using
pop-up Behaviors for a dropdown navigation bar. I've read about a
lot of problems others are having, but part of my problem I have
not been able to locate anywhere.
After I created my template and want to save changes to the
template and update the files based on this template, I go thru a
series of JavaScript errors. It never updates any files in the end
and sometimes shuts down the program. An example of ONE of the
error messages is:
At line 1654 of file "C:\Program Files\Macromedia/Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\Behaviors\Actions\Show Pop-up Menu.js": The
function saveDocument() is currently unavailable.
The more pages attached, the more error messages I get....
all are .js errors.
The other problem is the links from the pop-up. I've double
checked them in the behavior pop-up menu... they appear to be
correct and sometimes work, but not all the time.
Everything I read says that I should create the navigation
with pop-ups (drop down menus) in Fireworks. Is Dreamweaver that
unreliable that this can't be done within itself?
If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong to receive these
errors and how to correct my links so they are reliable, I would
very much appreciate it. I have recreated this site 6 times and the
errors are consistent.
Thanks, cjbyrnes

You read about all these problems, yet you pressed ahead and
used them? Why?
DW's Pop-up menus are incompatible with DW's templates.
Embarrassingly sad,
but true.
Did you read about and investigate any of the many
alternatives posted?

Rollovers with Pop up Menu

The last time I tried to do rollovers with a pop up menu in
Dreamweaver 8. It wouldn't work. So I'm searching for another way
to do it.
I created navigation using Fireworks - follow link below to
example. But when I mouse over the rollover that has a pop up menu
attached to it (First link on the left) the rollover images
disappear. Also the drop down menu tends to hang down longer than I
would like.
Can my problems be fixed? Is Fireworks the right tool for
this task?
I had down loaded a trial of the latest version of
Dreamweaver a few months ago and it seemed that this feature had
been deprecated, but there was some sort of plug-in. I'm far from a
casual user, but it was beyond me for the weekend I tried to use
it. Also, this is a bad time for me to invest in new software or
upgrades.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Example of rollover and
pop up menu problem

Don't use Fireworks to make HTML,
especially interactive HTML. Fireworks is a great tool for
making Web graphics, but it is
NOT
good for making HTML. Don't go there. You won't be happy.
Read this:
The
Sordid Tale of mm_menu and fw_menu.js and then save yourself
loads of frustration and go buy yourself a professional menu.
What's your billing rate? At $20/hr a $100 professional menu that
works, cross-browser, beautifully, is going to save you more
than 5 hours of hassle trying to get this stuff in Fireworks to
halfway...kinda...function...almost.
I don't use these kind of menus, but I've seen this question
asked often enough to know that one recommendation is the code from
Project
7.

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
