Adding up Form Fields that are drop down menus

I have the following form with a radio button, pull down
menus and a text field. I would like to have a total amount due at
the bottom of the form that adds up the tickets/contributions they
would like to purchase. I have the radio button working but can not
figure out the code for the pull down menu and text field.

Is there a particular DW extension for drop down menus you recommend?
Yes, the one in my previous post - commercial,but it can be used on multiple sites, no restrictions. You do have a choice, Read the descriptions of the tp 3 here: http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/index.htm
I'd suggest the Pop Magic 2... is more versatile.
Also, are there any resources you suggest for the painful transition from HTMl thinking in DW8 to CSS in CS4 like a Dummies book or Lynda.com? After three days of messing with CSS elements, I still think in tables for complex designs and I keep quitting the learning
Here are some good tutorials to get you started, from the basics to completing a full site:
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/dreamweaver/css.html
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/tableless_layout_dw8.html
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/css_concepts.html
A good css / html reference site:
http://www.w3schools.com/
Lot of good articles on CSS over at www.sitepoint.com as well.
It is a lot to take on board, but start off small, firstly by at least styling your current table layouts with CSS and then moving onto using Divs for layout. It is nto as easy as some people say it is to move over from table layouts and sometimes you wonder whether it's worth it, especially when you may find yourself facing various browser bugs, but if you remember to code for Firefox first and then adjust for IE, you'll be set :-)
Good Luck

Why are drop down menus on webpages in Safari no longer working? I have iphone4 ios6.0.1. Is there a fix?

Since I updated to 6.0, the drop down menus on the web pages I use in Safari on my iphone 4 are no longer working. The drop down appears and then quickly disappears so that you can't select anything. Is there a fix? One example is http://www.scvavolleyball.org/ I need to select Juniors>Girls>Weekend Sites but I can't on my phone....but I used to be able to....and I still can on my ipod touch. Help.

The current release supports the white-space property for a text area and it is possible that the website uses white-space: pre instead of white-space: pre-wrap.
The former will prevent Firefox from wrapping the text.
You can check that in the Inspector via the right-click context menu.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Page_Inspector
See:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/36#CSS
<blockquote>The white-space property is now working on <textarea> HTML elements (bug 82711).</blockquote>

My form autocomplete shows blank drop down menus with 'Form History' still stated beside the blanks when I type in entries I previously entered.

It is remembering what I entered, but the options are blank. Please help, this is really annoying. I also lose form history (when it was working properly) after I leave Firefox idle for more than 5 minutes. It's been like that for a long time, but my form history (autocomplete) used to stay intact if I left the computer for a bit. I know exactly how to use my privacy options, they are set the way I always had them set when form autocomplete used to work properly for me.

Yep, this is def a problem with the google toolbar. I did find that if you turn off the google autofill, you can keep the toolbar enabled and the problem goes away. The browser then uses Firefox's autofill instead. Thanks for leading me down the right track. I didn't want to lose Google toolbar, but not having form history has been a pain, since i use it for shipping packages and not having it makes it time consuming.

Drop-down menus and submitting completed forms

Hi,
I have two questions:
1) On my form I have multiple drop-down menus. Is there a way to allow the user to return the field to its original blank state once an item is selected from the menu? I noticed that I could add a choice to the menu that is simply spaces and when that line is selected, the field returns to blank.
Is there a better way? To reset the form following a "mis-click" on one of those menus would be frustrating for the user.
2) We would like to set the form up so that when the user is finished, they can click on a button and the form is saved in PDF form and also with the XML data. In reading about LiveCycle, it seems to me that we need to send it to a URL or by e-mail, but we would like for the user to be able to save it to their own hard drive. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michael H

This bug still occurs:
How to Reproduce:
1.Download:
http://jqueryui.com/resources/download/jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.zip (or any other version)
2.Find the default example for sortable:
jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom\ development-bundle\demos\sortable\default.html
3. Replace first li item to (just to add a html select)
<li class="ui-state-default"><select><option value="1">1</option><option value="2">2</option></select>Item 1</li>
4. The dropdown options will not appear(as if the dropdown is disabled).

The new design seems to be doubled, with the standart windows style underneath the new buttons and also the drop down menus are unreadable..

''''''i installed the new firefox and now its got a weird graphic glitch. i run windows 7 starter on my netbook and it seems as if the main window got two layers, the windows style and the new firefox style on top. the problem is, beside that some buttons dont really work, that the drop down menus are not really readable and the highlighting in the dropdown menus stays after going thought them.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Dynamically updating a value based on drop down menus

Hi,
I am trying to make a website for a new computer company.
Part of the website allows you to choose different componets, like
the Dell website. It has different drop downs like CPU, Case,
motherboard etc which list the option we have chosen then it gets
all of the records from each database. So for CPU it checks to see
what motherboard is selected and displays all of the CPUs that are
compatible with that bpard from the CPU data base.
It has the price at the bottom of the page which is
calculated by adding all the prices of the drop down menus together
but if I change an option it doesn't change the price.
How can I have the price dynamically change based on
different values being selected from the drop down boxes?
Thanks for any help
Lewis

You'd do some kind of onChange with the select. Get the value
of the current index in the select and pass that over to whatever
needs it.
Using a JavaScript framework may be best and easiest - like
jQuery. It allows you to do stuff like this quite easily. Though
I'm no expert either - just getting into it.
Are these chained selects then? I also think there's a CF
only version / custom tag out there for this - but it would require
a page refresh everytime the list is changed.
You could also use AJAX I guess.
Cheers,
Mikey.

Drop down menus NOT working properly!

I am using Windows Surface Pro tablet running Window 8. I am using Adobe Reader X
The problem: I have a PDF with drop down menus that will allow me to auto-populate certain fields.
When I touch the screen to open the drop down menu, the drop down menus open but when I touch the item that I want, the dropdown menu simply closes and doesn't populate the field.
The drop down menus themselves are populated correctly with the choices I am supposed to select, I just can't actually select any from the drop down list.
I have tried this on two SurfacePro tablets and I get the same resutls. I talked to Microsoft Support and they said it was an Adobe issue.
Any ideas?

McBlob
Thanks for the reply. The strange thing is that I can use a mouse and the drop down list works fine and I can open the drop down list with my finger or stylus and then use the down arrow on a blue tooth keyboard and I'm able to select and populate the field without any problems.
There seems to be some disconnect with selecting my desired value from the list by touch only. Mouse and keyboard are able to select and populate correctly.
I worked with a Microsoft tech support agent and all functions of the Surface Pro tablet work fine. I tried editions 9,10,11 of Adobe Reader and they all have the same dysfunction with the drop down list.

Drop down menus / search engine friendly

Hi,
I've been tasked with creating a new company website and having it go live April 10th. I would like to use iWeb to get it done.
Are drop down menus possible with iWeb? To be clear, I'm talking about if you hover your cursor over a menu item; say products, a drop down menu will appear listing specific products and link to that products page.
The other main requirement is that the site be search engine friendly. Our current website is in Flash and is virtually invisible to search engines.
I hope that these questions haven't been answered by digging just a little further, it's just that I'm under a tight deadline and must get started.
I've been a Mac user since 88 and I would like to work on my preferred platform. I've got a decent background in design. (I'd like to not use Dreamweaver under this deadline) Our current website is www.rapid.com. It was made from a flash template that I was told to use so I made the best of it.
I'm going for a clean looking non fussy user experience, unlike what we have now.
Thanks for any help you may have.

As Massimo says, they are just fine in the basic sense.
The adminition you are familiar with was related to *any*
menu system that
embedded your actual menu links within javascript
'document.write' commands,
just the way the DW pop-up menus prior to CS3 does, and the
way the FW
pop-up menus prior to FW8 did.
If you can look at the HTML on the psge, and SEE the links in
the HTML, then
a search engine will also be able to see them, and therefore
spider your
site.
BUT - if you have sub-menus, and I have javascript disabled,
*I* will not be
able to access those sub-menu links when I come to your site.
Further,
neither will anyone with a screen reader. That's a
problem....

No text in drop down menus!

My computer seems to be working fine except that the drop down menus show no text. In any application. I can't shutdown my computer because just empty boxes show up under the apple icon, "File" "Edit" etc.
I have restarted my computer three times and this problem has continued.
It started when I was listening to iTunes and checking my gmail when all of a sudden iTunes stopped, shutdown, and an alert box appeared with an orange triangle with an exclamation point in it, and three buttons. Only problem was there were no words in the box! And no words on the buttons. I clicked the blinking blue button, and iTunes restarted. I decided to restart my computer and discovered there were no words in the drop down portions of the menu bar. Any alertboxes that appear too, have no words in them, and I have to guess at what each button means.
Please help!!

If the symptoms you state exist also while booted from the Installer Disc,
the problem may be more than a font. Since the system would be by-passed
completely and you'd be running from the booted installer disc media, the
menubars should work fine. You could run Disk Utility from the optical disc
(first disc of OSX install is bootable) and by holding the C key down all the
while you wait. With OSX 10.4, you get a fairly good Disk Utility and you
can run it to see if a "repair disk" cycle would show you any error messages
and then re-run the repair to see if it can be fixed.
The issue may just be a permissions issue and lack of routine
maintenance; unless the corruption is beyond basic repairs and
outside of what Disk Warrior, Drive Genius, or TechTool can do.
I'd try the OSX bootable installer's Disk Utility, first. A low-level
error or corruption on the hard drive may require starting over
from scratch; and D.U. can be used to start over.
If it is just a main user account issue, and if you can't use the
Admin account to make a second user account with Admin
privileges, you may have to do a system-wide restore; and
use the Installer to "archive and install" a new system to
check and see if that gives you all the menus. The whole thing
no matter which of the ways suggested, isn't that hard to try
and troubleshoot. The means to fix it are already at hand;
easier still if you don't care if you lose what's on the hard drive.
You may need to see what extent this situation exists and then maybe
plan on buying a third party disk utility to see if it can fix the problems, or
just plan on totally erasing the hard drive and use the booted disk utility to
zero the hard drive and reformat it, and do an all new installation from there.
And lose all your stuff saved on the hard drive. This is the last choice;
and if you did not back up your stuff to some other drive or media, it
would be lost. But this could make your Mac run like new again.

Drop down menus showing in design mode... help!

I maintain a Web site (designed by someone else) that has
drop down menus. Most of the time the drop down menus do not show
up when I am working on the page in DW design mode. However
recently some of the pages started showing all the menus stacked
going down the page above everything else. I can't figure out why
this is happening and how to make them not show like they used to.
It seems to be causing problems when I want to update the site via
the template.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Or supply a URL?

There is no key because that is an important dialog. Why would you want it to go away?

When creating my own form... is there a way to to link multiple drop down fields to other drop down fields?

And in what program? You need to be more specific. Creating conditional forms is of course possible, but the procedures will depend on the actual program and target medium. HTML forms work differently from PDF...

Populate a drop down list with data from Excel and fill in a text field, based on drop down selectio

Hi!
I have a problem with a PDF form: There's a drop down list that I populate with Excel data that I've put in an XML file through an XSD file -- no problem here. The drop down list has a data binding to the XML file, so that a choice in the drop down list can be associated with an object in the XML file. So, when I make a choice in the drop down list, a corresponding object value is fetched from the XML file and put in a text field on the form.
How to do this is described by Stefan Cameron here:
http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/07/29/dynamic-properties/
There's a snag, though, and to describe it more clearly:
The XML file contains three types of objects: role, role number, and role cost center. Of these I use the first and the third, i.e. the role and the role cost center. The drop down list contains the roles, and when I select a role, the corresponding cost center is filled out in the text field. So far, so good!
But -- if the cost center has the same value for two or more roles, all of these roles "bounce back" into the drop down list, that is, they are all selected in the drop down list. How many of these you can see depend on the height of the drop down list -- if it's low you'll only see the first one.
If I modify Stefan Cameron's data in his example I get the same behavior, so the problem seems to have to do with how XML data are fetched.
I'm sure there's a workaround, but I can't find it! I've spent many hours browsing the web without finding anyone with a similar problem.
Any suggestions appreciated!

Although your issue is far beyond mine, I was hoping you can help me out.....
I need to create a drop down list of names which I wish to somehow link to an Excel spreadsheet.
Please let me know the steps I need to do. I've tried several things, but nothing seems to work and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Thank you

Feedback forms / drop down menus

Hello, I am fairly new so apologies if the questions posed may seem daft or have been answered before. Is there any way that within iWeb a feedback form can be added or a form with drop down menus? I cannot seem to find anything related to these items anywhere. I appreciate any help.
Many Thanks
Rob

For feedback forums there are 3rd party sites like Wufoo which you create the form and add it to your page or the forms you create yourself. Examples of both are on this demo page: Embedding Forms & Encoding Email Addresses.
For drop down menus do a search in this forum as they were discussed very recently.
