Bit of layers confusion with drop down menu

Hi guys.
I have been teaching myself web design for about 4 months,
and am still pretty clueless about a frightening amount of stuff.
I am really in a bit of a mess and am hoping someone can help
me out it.
I am doing a web site that needs to have a tabbed drop-down
menu running along the bottom of the banner.
I started doing this using some HTML and CSS code I found
online, but ended up having problems with displaying correctly in
IE. So I have scrapped it in favour of doing one in flash.
The only thing is, directly below the banner, I have a div
that contains image links. When my drop downs, expand they will go
well ontop of the area containing the image links. So my question
is , does the flash drop down's page size automatically have to be
big enough to contain the menu when expanded, or is it possible to
have the flash page size expand according to whether the menu is
expanding or not, so that there is still clickable access to the
link images underneath,when the menu is not expanded.?
Sorry if this is a very convoluted explanation. If someone
understands what I am trying to achieve and help me find any way to
make it happen, I would be hugely grateful, as I have a client who
is blown away by the design, and i dont wanna sour the relationship
by being unable to sort out this functionality.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I happen to have the same problem. However I cannot find the two files in step two:
2.
Trash the following two files in the Macintosh HD > Library > Caches folder:
* com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore
* com.apple.LaunchServices-014nnn.csstore
I did input my UID number as you are told to do so in the instructions. The only I can find is the one in step six a:
6.
Verify that the problem is solved. If not:
1. Trash the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file in the Home > Library > Preferences folder of the affected account. See Note [3].
Is there a reason as to why I cannot find those files? Oh and I did delete it; all it did was reset the file associations.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. May your loins be blessed with fertility.

  • Is there a way to get ACR to appear in the "Open With" drop down menu?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to get Adobe Camera Raw to appear directly along with CS3 in the Mac's ( OS 10.4.11) "Open With" drop down menu?

    If you installed ACR it in the right place, and are targeting the kind of file that ACR can handle, it should be there.
    I have found that there are certain Tiff Scans that won't open in ACR but if you just Duplicate them in Bridge, and then target the Duplicate, they will then open in ACR.
    At least they do so for me.

  • Problems with drop down menu in html snippet

    Hi all,
    I am trying to use a form with a drop down menu so the user can jump directly to the corresponding page. I am using the code generated by http://javascript.internet.com/generators/drop-down-menu.html, and it works correctly when I test it in the "Show me the drop down menu" option on their page.
    This is the html code:
    <!-- ONE STEP TO INSTALL PULLDOWN MENU:

    When I paste this code into an html snippet in iWeb, my page does not work correctly after publishing to a folder. The jump to location doesn't open its corresponding page. Instead, it defaults to the same page that has the drop down menu, only the menu doesn't appear any more. Instead, I get a "hole" where the drop down menu used to be.
    This is my URL: http://www.mygaragebandstudio.com/jingles.html
    I examined the code of the page with the html snippet generated by iWeb, and to my surprise I couldn't even find the html code of the form with the drop down menu. Where is it?
    Please help!

    JSYK,
    You didn't actually give PressWeb the green star by marking his post as the post that solved your question. You merely marked the question as answered but never actually marked PressWeb's post as being the post that answered your question, which will in effect reward PressWeb with the green star as seen by a green star appearing in the header for his post. I only mention this because you have incorrectly mentioned rewarding PressWeb with a green star.
    Hope that helps.

  • "Open With" drop-down menu has multiple instances of apps

    When I right-click on a file and select "Open With", the resulting drop-down menu contains many, many multiple instances of the same app - five Firefox's, five Quicktime Player's, at least three instances of every relevant app. Why is that happening, and how can I clean that menu up?

  • IPhone 4 wifi portal login with drop down menu

    Hi,
    I'm extremely happy with my iPhone 4. I use it often in WiFi hotspots (hotels, university, train stations etc) and the new portal log in system is really handy. Previously I used a third party WiFi portal logging in app which is now no longer necessary. HOWEVER, there seems to be a problem with the iPhone 4 remembering log in protocols for WiFi portals that include selecting an item from a drop down menu before logging in. For instance, the WiFi hotspots in trainstations here in the Netherlands work with several protocols depending on through which organisation you can log in. Before entering your log in details you have to select through which organisation you have access to such a hotspot. The third party logging in app was able to remember how to do this, but the iPhone 4 auto logging in thing (sorry, I don't know the term) does not remember. It's frustrating to have to fill the details in every time. And I can't even use the third party app any more because it needs primary connection to the local WiFi before it can log in, and the iPhone 4 won't give a primary connection if you don't fill in the details to log in (and if you do, you're already logged in and the third party app is useles...)
    Sorry for my rant, I'm wondering if there's a way to make the iPhone 4 log in tool-thing remember the protocol for logging in with drop down menus, or if there will be an update to fix it...
    Thanks,
    Tasmin
    P.S. I'm running iOS 4.1

    are you sure your stop() are in the right place??
    eg.. on the last frame of the onRollOver animation??
    also... why have you got on(releaseOutside); ???
    onRollOut will suffice.

  • DWT file not updating with drop-down menu edits rom Fireworks

    Aughh! I am almost done with my website, when I go back to
    Fireworks and add a couple new tabs on a drop-down menu. I update
    the DWT file in Dreamweaver, but one of two things happens: either
    the update simply doesn't "take", or all of the <body>
    section is mysteriously deleted from the DWT file. If I preview the
    Fireworks template (from Fireworks), everything is as it should be,
    but not when I preview in Dreamweaver. Not sure if this is a
    Fireworks issue or a Dreamweaver so I've posted in both. No one in
    the FIreworks forum has come up with any suggestions yet.
    What the hell?
    Thanks in advance for the help,

  • Need help please with drop down menu

    AS2 I created a drop down menu for my portfolio. my setup is my site mc, within that mc it my portfolio and the drop down menu with five buttons. I want to link on of those button not to the root, but in the same area as the drop down menu/ this is how it is set up.
    sceen1 and inside sceen1 is navebar with the drop down menu. Inside the menu are my buttons. I dont need it to link at the root(sceen1) I need to link one of the buttons to a frame in the navbar area. Sorry and I hope you can understand what I wrote.

    What code have you tried?  Where do you have the code planted?  If you plant all of the code in one place, such as the main timeline then it might be easier for you to manage targeting whichever objects you intend to.

  • Basic Form with Drop Down Menu Help

    Hi Guys,
    I have just started using dreamweaver and i dont use code or anything yet.  I have been following a tutorial from thesitewizard which runs through the basics of creating a web page in the design screen.  It created a form to insert but i need to know how to create a form which has a drop down menu to have say 4 or 5 options to select the normal name email comments etc fields and submit button to enbale people to contact me.  Can anyone help with this.  Pleae keep in mind i am very new to this and dont have any code experience etc at all.
    Thanx in advance for any help.
    cheers
    chris

    You will need to use a form processing script to handle your form data.  This isn't terribly difficult, but it's more than you can do in Design View alone.
    Have a look at this form building service.
    http://wufoo.com/
    Another one to look at - although I've never used it myself, it gets mentioned a lot in these groups.

  • How to build advanced search with drop down menu (ASP)

    Hi,
    I'm using CS4 with ASP / SQL. I have a search page which contains only 2 fields; one is user input (search term), the other is a drop down menu to define which column they want to search on. How can I define the SQL statement - or can I only choose to search on values in the table, rather than on columns?
    thanks

    Which dropdown menu you want to customized ?The specific menu we would like to customize is the 'Action' menu on the Person form that usually contains 'Create Employment' and so on. We have a specific recruiter responsibility that we would like to limit to 'Create Applicant'. I have been unable to come up with a combination of steps in personalizations that sets that value in the dropdown and allows it then be unchangeable. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I would prefer not to create a custom form but without personalizations, I might have to.

  • Need help with Drop Down Menu _ URGENT!!

    Hello -
    I'm new to Dreamweaver. I actually have an old version
    (Dreamweaver MX 2004).
    I'm updating a website for work and this needs to be done as
    soon as possible so I'd appreciate if anyone can be so kind as to
    shed light on ANYTHING. =/
    This is what I need:
    I need a drop down menu; when a selection is chosen, I need
    information regarding that selection to appear on the bottom of the
    page. (I am working off an Excel sheet - it has list of service
    descriptions along w/ the unit price, frequency & other fields.
    So If I chose "database hosting" off the drop down list,
    information would be generated (ie. it's corresponding unit price,
    frequencies, etc.)
    I've attached an example of a code but I cannot use that code
    (which has JavaScript) to tweak what I need exactly.
    I am VERY new to this so if anybody can help be out I would
    GREATLY appreciate it.
    Thanks!!

  • Need help with drop down menu

    Hi guys,
    I'm using div's for the main navigation of my site and want to create a drop down for the first two buttons. All the tutorials I have seen have been for using unordered lists but I need to use divs for this navigation set (long story!).
    Can anyone help me get them set up please? Ideally I would like the drop downs to fade in but it's not essential. I take it I need to create an absolutely positioned div where I want my drop downs to appear, is that correct? - but then where do I go from there?
    If you click here for my test site.
    Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
    SM

    Hi Ken,
    Thank you for the reply.
    I had the main nav as an unordered list to begin with but for some reason I didn't find them as easily controllable as the div's i.e. setting widths and heights etc. as I wanted each button to have a set width, instead of just having text with padding. Originally I had the button divides set as border left and right strokes but for some reason they weren't adding up, I think because of the padding I had on them. I know you can set these with unordered lists but opted for divs in the end!
    Hope that helps.
    Thanks again,
    SM

  • Can't Block Person in iChat, with task bar drop down menu in Buddies.

    Hello : )
    I was wondering if anyone knows how i can use my "Block Person", on iChat (task bar with drop down menu in Buddies). I am pretty sure this worked has worked before , the command is there it just seems to stay greyed out. I know it can be done in the Security tab / ichat preferences, I would like it to work under the Buddies drop down as well. I know it did before, my HD was replaced. Help would be most appreciated.
    Thank you for your time.
    Eme;~[)

    Hi Eme,
    Ok. iChat 3 has a setting that needs to be set if you are going to use the same screen name on two copmuters or on two apps on the same computer.
    Go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts
    Select the AIM account in question in the left hand column
    Select the Account Info tab.
    Log out of AIM (iChat menu)
    Check the check box "Allow Multiple Logins for This Account"
    Log back into AIM.
    If this is not checked starting iChat 3 will boot off (log out) any other AIM Client using the same screen name whether it is on the same computer or not
    From what the ISP says and what you have posted here it seems the modem is in Bridge mode.
    I take it if you open System Preferences > Network > Select Airport from the second drop down > TCP/IP tab you IP is shown as 10.0.1.2 ?
    And the drop down just above that says "USING DHCP" ?
    This would mean the Airport is in default mode and Issuing Addresses.
    Also by default an Airport would do NAT. (Network Address Translation)
    This measn the Airport sorts out where each bit of data has to go.
    It is different from other routers as you don't have the specify which ports are going to whch ports on one IP (Port Forwarding)
    Which Netopia device is it ?
    3347 ?
    If it is this one you may need to look at the QoS settings.
    These are setings that are supposed to protct you form reciveing data too quickly. (helpful if you are running a busy web site but restrictive sometimes for iChat).
    As you are omly talking about sorting out Block lists it is prpobably the multiple login option that needs doing.

  • Is there a way to get Adobe Camera Raw to appear in "Open With" drop down?

    HI,
    I was wondering if there might be a way to get a direct link to Adobe Camera Raw to appear in "Open With" drop down menu along with the other choices?

    I would think you'd just need to select the Adobe Application you're using... whichever that one is, then the APP would know what to do with RAW.
    What are they set for now?
