Cannot edit my navigation bar / drop down menu

Somebody pls help me! I am new to Dreamweaver, but have been
studying it heavily the pst 3 weeks (using Sams Teach Yourself
book).
I have inherited a site and switched their navigation bar
from the current one to a different (drop down) that was stored in
the library folder. I have TRIED AND TRIED to edit these links ,
add drdop down items, delete some, etc but cannot seem to access
the 'show pop up menu' option...it is GRAYED OUT.
When I open the library file...only a navigation bar is in
it. I select one of teh nav buttons, and I am SUPPOSE to see the +
sign in the behavior panel in bold, but it stays grayed out no
matter what I do. I have tried double clicking the text (on
MouseOver), as an MX user suggested, but no menu of options pops up
here at all (although it did for her). Furthermore, I even tried
right clicking on the behavior panel where the "on Mouse Over"
identifies the action as "ShowPop Up Menu" (vs. hide pop up menu)
and I DO get a pop up menu with "EDIT BEHAVIOR" as an option. I
click on this, and nothing happens.
UGH! WHY CAN'T I EDIT THIS???
Thanks so much for your help!

I think your friend is confused. You have never been able to
edit the DW/FW
pop-up menus in a template controlled page in any version of
DW. This is
but one of the many reasons one would never want to use these
menus. There
are so many better ways to do them, and Alan has given you
some links....

  • Top Navigation Bar drop down menu's do not work

    Top Navigation Bar drop down menu's do not work. It is only happening on a couple of my site collections and is affecting on the main page of those collections. There is only one web part on the main page, it is the Picture Library Slideshow web part. When
    I remove that web part, the menu's come back and work with no problem. I re-add the web part and the menu's stop working. Not finding any error's in the server logs, there are no visual error's thrown.  Any advice on what might be happening? I've checked
    the Java update on our computers and it has the latest version.  Open to any advice at this point.

    Hi,
    How does the Top Navigation Bar dropdown menu issue look like?
    Could you please provide a screenshot about the issue, also may detecte the problematic elements by using IE browser developer tool (keyboard F12)?
    Please also check if it is related IE compatibility issue.

  • Every single website, or link within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu. How can I stop this? This just started happening.

    Every single website url address, or url address within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu.
    I don't want everything added or saved in the location bar. Only urls that I used a lot used to be saved there but now every single url (and url within a url)I visit is being added to it.
    How can I stop this? This just started happening.
    I'm sure it's a simple browser setting but I've checked and nothing gives an option to control this.
    Firefox 3.0.17

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.17) Gecko/2009122116 Firefox/3.0.17

    A possibility is to open the links via the right-click context menu or a middle-click in a new tab to make sure that Firefox sees them as regular links.

  • How do I delete web site addresses that appear in the navigation window drop-down menu?

    In Explorer you can quickly delete any web address in the navigation window drop-down list. Also, only addresses that I actually type into the navigation window appear in the drop-down. I like this system.
    But in Firefox, I cannot discern the rules at work. Web addresses appear and disappear in the drop-down list seemingly at random, and no way to delete addresses.

    Selecting "Never Remember History" will make you enter [[Private Browsing]] mode, so be careful with selecting that.

  • 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 any way to restore the 'Open New Tab' option in the tab bar drop-down menu?

    After years of using tabbed browsing in Firefox, I've long-since gotten used to right-clicking the tab bar, and selecting the top menu item 'Open New Tab'. So much so that it has become reflexive. Now with v4, when I perform the same action, it now just reloads the current page. Is there ANY way to restore the option to the pull-down menu? I don't wanna have to move my pointer all the way to the other side of the screen just to open a new tab... (T_T)

    Hello, I suffered from a similar problem with the new search bar type. I've found that you can go into '''about:config''', then search for '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons''' boolean and toggle that. This should restore the old functionality. (You might need to restart your browser)
    Note that, like always, edit your '''about:config''' at your own risk.

  • I want my address bar DROP DOWN menu to show my recently-TYPED in URLs, not random websites. HOW????

    I have searched high and low on the internet for an answer, and I've spent an hour going through each tab on my internet options folder.
    All I want is for my address bar to show my history of what URLs I have TYPED in, in order of being RECENT.
    Please, please help me. I don't know if this is an add-on, or not. I have gone to Tools, Options, Privacy and checked and unchecked just about everything. I've had it to remember my history at 99 days, and at 1 day. Nothing is working. Maybe they just don't make it that way anymore.

  • While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

    While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again.  Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
    Thanks

    I haven't been unify photoshop much in the past month, but I did try your suggestion and it seemed to work for a while.

Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.

    I spoke with application technical support.  There appears to be nothing wrong with my copy of iPhoto.  However there is no support from Adobe.  I waited for over 1.5 hours for chat support several days ago, and finally gave up.

    You are probably choosing the obvious file rather than the correct file as the PSE editor. The actual editor is hidden away inside the Support Files folder.

  • 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!!

  • 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>

  • Drop Down menu for navigation bar

    I created a site a couple years ago (with GoLive) with a
    navigation bar with rollover states. I would like to create
    something very similar to it now in Dreamweaver CS3 but with the
    addition of a drop down menu for just a couple of the navigation
    icons. I have been told by Adobe tech support on the phone that I
    need some custom coding to do this.
    To see what the navigation bar looks like now go to
    www.aimeeastvillage.com
    I DON"T need the drop down choices to be in a whimsical font.
    I just don't want to have to direrct the reader to go to an
    additional page. PLEASE tell me this is possible for a relative
    beginner! Thanks.
