How can I get the drop down menu on the internet to work, which shows most visited websites? It was working on Firefox, and now doesn't.

On the internet when using Firefox, the drop down menu on recently visited sites (where you type in web addresses), does not work. How can I get it drop down and show websites that I recently visited, so I can click on them there instead of retyping them every time?

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing":
* Firefox (Tools) > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How can i get a drop down menu or check list control

i want to give the user a choice between 7 options on the front panel. i want either a check list or drop down menu.thanks

You can use any of the ring controls to generate a drop down list. The ring controls are found on the Controls >> Ring & Enum palette. You program the drop down items the same way with any of these controls. Type the first drop down item on the control. Right click on the control and select "add item after". The controls text field will blank out and you can enter your second item. Repeat for every item on the list you need to generate. After you are done entering items, click on the control with the application tool and you will see a drop down menu of all the items you entered.

Setting up multiple frequency options from the drop-down menu on the subscriptions button

I have set up four sponsorship (subscription) options using the drop-down menu on the subscription button. Sponsor an:orphan for $35 at monthly frequencywidow for $50 at monthly frequencyorphan for $420 at yearly frequencywidow for $600 at yearly frequency I have checked the settings for the button and the yearly frequency is definitely selected for the two last options, but when the button is clicked the PayPal landing page recognises the monthly frequency only. Is it possible to have two sets of frequency within the one set of options?

You can use that list and open the previous tab just above the one that appears bold and has a bullet.
The current active entry has a bullet in front of it. 
If you hover an entry in the tab session history list with the mouse then you see an arrow at the left side pointing left (Back) or right (Forward) to show the direction. 
You can left click an item to open it in the current tab or middle-click or Ctrl left-click an entry in that list to open that link in new tab, just like you can with other links.

How can I get bookmark drop down to extend folder list to the left instead of the right?

Recently cleaned up my bookmarks. Previously when I clicked on the bookmark file bar icon (between history and tools buttons at the top of the screen) the bookmark drop down would appear with my folders and links (as expected) and when I moused over a folder it would open a drop down list on the left of the main bookmark drop down but now it is opening on the right. How can I get it back to opening on the right?
This is not about having a bookmark pane always open on the left side of the window. Rather it is about how to control how the drop down menus act. (OSX 10.9.3 and Firefox 30.0)
Thanks!

So I think I understand what your suggesting but I have a folder inside a folder that has long names and it opens back to the left (after the initially opening to the right) and appears to overlay the screen space needed to display the titles.
If your right (no pun intended) then the programming that supports the drop down menu display would need to scan through all the enclosed folders looking for the potentially longest title to determine which way to open the list?
I know that this is a minor issue but it does seem that something may have changed here. It would be nice if there was away to control this part of the drop down operation. Thanks!

Bookmarks toolbar changed from the right side of the drop-down menu to the left. How can I change it back on Firefox 4.0.1 for Mac?

I just updated to Firefox 4.0.1. Some changes I don't like, especially that the Bookmarks toolbar opens to the left of the drop-down menu instead of the right. How can I change it?

You may have bookmarks that have long title. Firefox 4 shows the full text of the bookmark name, so if it doesn't fit with opening to the right side the Firefox will open to the left side. You can scroll through the list and make the bookmarks with a long name shorter.

How can I create a drop down menu from an array

Hello all,
I am attempting to create a subvi that allows the end user to add a part number to an .txt file, and assigns that part number a value than can be used to select one of two modes of communication to be used to write to a EEPROM. I am using the "write key.vi" and the "read key.vi" to create and read the .txt file. What I would like to do is is use "get section names.vi" to read all of the part numbers and dump them into a drop down menu after the end user generates the file using the subvi.
I guess my question is how do I dump a 1D string array into a drop down menu.
I have attached some semi-functional .vi's to give an idea of what i am attempting to do.

Place a Ring control on your front panel, then create a property node on the block digram. You can wire the output array of "Get Section Names" to populate the Strings[ ] property of the Ring.
Retrieve the specific string selected by the operator by wiring the Ring control to the Index Array function.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T

How can i create a drop down menu for set qty in my store?

I'm wondering how i can create a drop down menu for the qty module that sits on the individual product page. My client sells in quantities of 6 packs. I currently have the minimum order at 6 but i would like to give consumers the option for 6,12,18...and so forth. I was told that it could be accomplished? Hopefully someone can help me.

Hi Chris -
Thank you for your reply! I had seen your article before, and just now again attempted to follow it, but I get stuck. There are two things that I'm confused by.
First off, toward the top, referring to the initial button, you say to add this interaction:
ON CLICK; Play Transition to comboBox: selected
ON ROLL OUT; Play Transition to comboBox normal if comboBox is in over state
ON ROLL OVER; Play Transition to comboBox over if comboBox is in normal
However, I do not see these transition options. When I select the button, the only interactions I have are to Play transistion to state, Play action sequence, Go to URL, and two for videos. So that's the first roadblock for me.
But, trying to get passed that, I went down to the portion of the article that refers to adding interaction to the dataset items. Again, I don't get it, as I see no way to add interaction to a dataset item. When I open my design-time data menu, I do see the items, and am able to rename each item, add additional rows, and change the shape of the datalist layout. However, I see no way to add an interaction to a dataset item. I must be missing a step ... Can you help with this?
Again, thank you!
Amy

How do I get a Drop-down menu on back/forward button

How do I get the old (FF3) Drop-down menu on the back/forward button, so I can go back/forward more than 1 page at a time?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

How do I double space a document using Pages There is NO Line Spacing control in the drop down menu in the format bar

How do I double space a document in Pages. The instruction say to use the Line Spacing control in the format bar, but there is NO Line Spacing control in the drop down menu under Format. I'm writing a novel and I am having to manually double space after every line. It is **** when I am trying to edit my work.

The computer is not too old (and neither are you ). It may be better if you could upgrade it from 10.5.8 to 10.6 ... but that would not solve this problem.
As both Paul and I have advised ... get yourself on Pages > go to the View menu and halfway down is the option 'Show Inspector'. You'll end up with a panel like Paul showed you in his post of 08:42. Let's see what you can do from there.

How do I turn off the drop-down menu on the back button?

I use a laptop and my hands aren't too dextrous. Every time I click the "back" button I get the drop down menu, which means I then need to move my hand back to the pad (slowly!) move the pointer, and try again. It can take me several attempts to go back one site now!
I have searched for hours to find out how to turn this drop down menu off, to no avail, and even looked through all the settings in about:config in an attempt to find a way around this. It seriously impacts my ability to use my laptop on the web now, so if anyone can please come up with a way to get back to the old back button, with no menu when my slow old finger cannot move fast enough to get off the button, I would be very grateful.

You can use that list and open the previous tab just above the one that appears bold and has a bullet.
The current active entry has a bullet in front of it.

How do I get a drop-down menu to choose SMTP when composing an email in Apple Mail?

Apple Mail used to have a drop-down menu in the Composing Mail window to select the SMTP server to use. It is no longer there, in Yosemite (10.10.1). How do I get that back?

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. That's exactly what DW offers validation behaviors or Spry Validation for. Select the form element(s) required to validate, apply the behavior, set the options in the dialog. Done.

How can you change a drop down menu's selection in a case statement?

Hi,
I am trying to an array finding vi. This VI will take an existing xml file and after the user has selected his/her equipment, input, output, and frequency it will put all of those options into a string and search the xml file for that exact array name and display it on an output screen. The problem I am having is that my input and outputs selection needs to be a little different depending upon the equipment selected. I thought that I could use a case statement to change the input and output selectable options, but I have run into many snags with it. For one everytime I place a new Input and Output drop down menu in the case statement it wants to place a new one in the front panel (I only want one input and output not three I have two inputs and outputs hidden right now). I believe I am using the case statement wrong... Can anyone help change my input and output selectable options depending upon the equipment selected. Attached is my xml file, Array Find.vi (the original one), and Array Find_Test.vi (this is the one I am trying to modify).
Thanks,
dlovell

Hi dlovell,
There are 2 key things I'd recommend for the code - using property nodes to edit the strings in the combo boxes. Something like the following snippet:
Also, check your CPU in task manager when running the code. It will eat a whole core of your machine (25% quad core, 50% dual, 100% single) - that is because you are running the while loop and polling the control as fast as Windows will allow you to. Using Event Structures is a much more efficient way of working in this example.

How do I alphabatize all my bookmarks from the drop down menu with the star on the Right side of screen?

I want to alphabatize all my bookmarks that are in the drop down menu, the menu with the star icon, on the right side of the screen. I do not want to put them in folders or view them in the box from the menu bar and all the answers pertain to that box, and not to the one with the star. Thank you

I don't think it's possible from the toolbar button.
However, the action you take in the Bookmarks Sidebar or in the Library dialog will affect the Bookmarks Menu everywhere it is displayed, including the toolbar button, so you only need to use it for the few moments needed to use Sort By Name and then close it.
Bookmarks Sidebar (either):
* View menu > Sidebar > Bookmarks
* Command+b
Library dialog (either):
* Bookmarks menu > Show All Bookmarks
* Command+Shift+b
right-click "Bookmarks Menu" > Sort By Name

Cannot remove autocomplete entry from address bar; have already cleared history, and entry is not in the drop-down menu of the address bar either.

I am having problems removing an autocomplete entry from my address bar; I have tried clearing my history, so it's no longer in that, and I do not have it bookmarked either, so it's not getting the URL from that location either. The autocomplete entry isn't even showing up in the drop down menu, so I can't even scroll through that to delete it.
Basically, I want to be able to type "st" and go to "store.steampowered.com"; however, despite numerous times of typing in "st" and then going down into the drop-down menu to choose "store.steampowered.com", the bar continues to autocomplete "steamtrades.com", which is exceptionally annoying because I do not have that website bookmarked, or in my history, yet it continues to autocomplete to that address, which I do not want it to autocomplete to, and cannot figure out how to remove because I've already cleared my history multiple times, do not have it bookmarked, and it is not showing up in the drop down of the address bar for me to go down and force delete it.

Did you try to remove some letters from steamtrades.com to see if that bring this entry up in the drop-down list?
If it is not in the history then it might be present with a typed=1 flag indicating that you have typed or pasted it in the location bar.
You can use the SQLite Manager extension in Firefox to inspect the places.sqlite file to see if this entry comes up in the moz_places table.
*SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
<pre><nowiki>SELECT datetime(visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch') AS visit_date, url, title, visit_count, frecency
FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits
WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id AND url LIKE '%steamtrades.com%'</nowiki></pre>
