Changing Pop-up-Menu

Hello!
Is it possible to open up a Pop-up-menu - depending on the previous Input?
Example:
2 columns.
first column: Pop-up-menu selection "A" or "B"
second column depening on the previous Input. If you chose "A" -> Pop-up menu "1" or "2". If you chose "B" -> Pop-up menu "3" or "4".

Hi toni,
I have been playing with this idea of conditional pop-ups. This is what I have now. I used rows, not columns. Not the sort of thing I would want to do in bulk. With the 13 rows you can choose 3 aspects. You would use column B to extract data to your data table.
B2= IF(A$1="Red","show","")
B10= IF(A$1="Green","show","")
B7= IF(A$6="Sky","show","")
B8= IF(A$6="Teal","show","")
B9= IF(A$6="Aqua","show","")
That should give you the idea.
Column B can be hidden. The choice made in A1 determines which of A2, A6 or A10 can be seen. When the filter is on only one "choose shade" row is revealed. Once a shade is selected a quality can be chosen.
Does this seem useful?

Can I change the fill color of an entire row based on what's selected in a pop-up menu in the first cell?

I have a pop-up menu in the first cell of every row with three choices (and I may add more at a later date). I want the fill color of the row to change depending on which thing is selected. Is this hard to do?

Hi,
In essence the same as Wayne's answer, but with a slight modification to fit to duplicate your 'color the whole row' specification. The final result, with Table 2 slid behind Table 1, is shown.
Table 2 is a single column table with the same number of rows as Table 1. The table is resized to match the full width of Table 1.
In A2, use the formula =Table 1::A2 to copy the value from that cell in Table 2. Fill the formula down through the rest of the column.
Select all the cells in Table 2 (except the header row), and apply conditional formatting rules such as those below.
Note that the Conditional Format rules are set to apply the same colour to text and fill in the cell, so that the text disappears.
When Table 2 is ready, select it, then go Arrange > Send to Back.
Before sliding Table 2 behind Table 1, Select Table 1 and use the Table Inspector to set the Cell Background to None (see red arrow in illustration). If This table has a Header column, you need to select the header cells independently and again set the Cell Background to None.
Now select Table 2 and drag it to a position partially under Table 1. When you see the blue alignment guides on both sides, or at the top and bottom, of Table 1, release the mouse button and use the arrow keys to nudge Table 2 into its final position.

How Do i make a pop-up menu's contents change in 1 cell according to what I have chosen in another pop up menu from another cell

In table 1 I have 4 sets of options under the heading "CATEGORY" which will make up a pop up menu in the first cell. "Slat fencing", "standard pool fencing", "Non standard pool and garden fencing" and "Louvres" if I choose one of these 4 categories from a pop-up menu I need the next column to indicate another set of pop up menu's that change according to the first cell that I chose. I.E. I have 2 cells in a table. If I choose "Standard pool fencing" from a pop up menu in the first cell I need the pop up menu in the second cell to show the options Flat top Black, Flat top other colour, Semi frameless glass, Frameless glass.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Brendan.

Brendan,
Let me try to explain using a similar but different method:
All the lines are shown for information flow and would not normally be included.
The table in the top left is a working table where you interact with the information:
You first select a category using a slider. As you slide left and right the "value" (shown as 2 in column B) will change. As the value changes the Category changes because the information is looked up from the category table (highlighted with a blue shaded background in the first picture.
The subcategory will also change as you modify the slider in column "B" because you are changing the category, which selects which table is used for the sub-category (sub-category tables are highlighted in light green). Once you select the category you can then slide through the possible selections for the subcategory (column "D").
There are only two formulas and they are in the "Work" table:
A2=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,Category :: A:C, 2, FALSE), "<Not Found>")
C2=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(D2, INDIRECT(A2),2,FALSE), "<NOT FOUND>")
For A2=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,Category :: A:C, 2, FALSE), "<Not Found>").... this means in cell A2 enter the text "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,Category :: A:C, 2, FALSE), "<Not Found>")" omit the first and last double quote
This whole scheme requires the tables be named the same as the categories in the "Category" table
I hope this helps. If not please indicate what is causing you trouble.

PDF with pop-up menu to change page

Can I create a PDF in Pro that has a pop-up menu (or other simple selection method) that allows user to select an item in list which will change the displayed page?

You'll probably want to use something like this.pageNum = 5; etc., and have all that embedded in an if conditional (or a switch conditional, which is probably what I'd use).
A good place to get started with JavaScript is here, although you'll have to look here for the PDF specific stuff (navigate to the JavaScript API).
The basic idea is that you create a variable for your button (that's the var cRtn stuff), and the value of the variable is updated depending on the user's action. So, if user chooses a popup menu item named Section 1, the value of cRtn becomes Section 1, and you can then add something like
if (cRtn = "Section 1") this.pageNum = 5;
Which would send the user to page 5 if they select Section 1 from the popup menu.
Hope that doesn't sound too cryptic!

Change monitor pop-up menu to "On with feedback protection"

I bought a GarageBand book, Apple Training Series: GarageBand '09, to guide me through the learning curve with GarageBand. In the book it says to "Change monitor pop-up menu to "On with feedback protection"" but my GarageBand does not have this option. I have the latest version, but only three options and none of them are "On with feedback protection". The only "ON" choice I have does not give feedback protection as an option. "There is an OFF with no feedback Protection"
Is it hidden somewhere else? Please advise.

Changing Text format within a Pop Up Menu

I'm trying to apply the characters "1/1" in a Pop Up Menu, but it is coming up as the date January 1, 2009. Anyone know how to change the characters to "text" from the default "date"?

Fractions just don't work correctly, they come up as dates or decimal equivalents. So using a lower case "L" won't solve the more general problem.
However, I noticed that if you type "1/3" as "1 / 3" you'll get "0.33333333" instead of a date. And it gets more interesting. When you pick it from the pop up list, the list shows it as "0.3333333" but it will display in the cell as 1/3. If you had typed 0.333333333 in the list, it will display in the cell as 0.33333333. Strange.
If it isn't too obtrusive and this is a text entry, not a number, you could type your fractions with a single quote on both sides: '1/3'

Pointless change to Safari 6.1 pop-up menu for links

Can somebody please put the adults back in charge of OS development at Apple? This morning I was prompted to install the latest OS update, which includes a new version of Safari (6.1). Almost immediately I noticed this change to the order of items in the pop-up menu when you right-click a link: the position of the first two items is switched. That may seem like a trivial change, but if you're accustomed to opening different types of links in new tabs or new windows, then you've established a bit of muscle memory in your mouse hand, which is now thrown off by the change: you'll instinctively choose the wrong item. One of the basic principles of software usability is that you leverage the learned behaviors of your users, you don't turn them into obstacles.

It seems somebody at Apple strongly believes the UI must be tabbed for all things you do. I feel we're told "don't use windows if you can use tabs". Well, I won't be using tabs (neither in Safari, nor Finder, nor nothing), because they waste a precious line of display space.
Too much silly things done in OSX since Lion. As the OP said, please put adults back in charge of OS development. Thanks.
Big thanks also to MacOsX for sharing his (working) solution for this Safari bug (yes, it's a bug)

Using COUNTIF on time values in pop-up menu (employee schedule template)

I have modified the Numbers employee schedule template to my liking and it works very well. I would like to add a column to the beginning which shows, at a glance, how many people I have scheduled for AM shifts and PM shifts on a given day. My AM shifts start at 9:00 AM and my PM shifts end at 6:30 or 8:30 PM.
So I thought I could use COUNTIF, but after I set the array, I cannot get the condition right to return anything except "0". How do you make it detect the appropriate times? The times in each cell for In and Out times are selected using a pop-up menu, just like the template.
Here is what I tried: =COUNTIF(E3:AE3,"9:00 AM")
What should the condition be to return a proper count?

ac,
You shouldn't feel badly about having trouble with this template. It is a rather tricky one. The values in the Pop-Up menus are Date/Time values. That is to say, they have year, month, day, hour and minute components, even if only the hours and minutes are displayed. So if you only compare to the hours and minutes, you will never get a match.
I don't know if you have experienced this yet, but when you changed the Pop-Up menu content, you probably entered the current year, month and day unknowingly and will have trouble doing math against the Pop-Up content that was originally in the template.
My suggestion in your case would be to convert the time references to decimal hours before doing a comparison. For instance, if the time you wish to compare to is in cell C4, you could extract the decimal hours with =HOUR(C4)+MINUTE(C4)/60
Remember that the hours will reflect a 24-hour day, so times in the afternoon will run from 12.0 to 23.99...
Then after converting to decimal, instead of using "9:00 AM" for the COUNTIF criteria, use 9.
There are probably ways to do this using the Duration format as well, but I prefer the decimal hours.
Hope this helps.

TS3147 My printer was no longer being detected, so I uninstalled it and when I went to reinstall it I discovered that I no longer have a printer pop up menu to select my printer.

I had a power failure and then began getting a message that the printer (Canon Pixma 610) was not detected. So, I unplugged it from the computer, restarted the computer and no change. The printer was still showing as the default printer, but not being detected. So I deleted the printer and then tried to reinstall it. However, when I clicked on the + sign to reinstall nothing came up. The screen was blank with no printer choices. I went to the Canon website to try and download the driver and received this message: There is no driver for the OS Version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver. I would appreciate any help...

MSG2014 wrote:
I finally contacted Canon and they informed me that my printer is not compatible with Maverick
As Greg stated, the Canon support person is simply referring to what they see on the web and knosw nothing about Mac's. The reality is that the v10.8 driver will work on 10.9. You just may need to get past Gatekeeper to install it. So here is a link to the v10.8 driver. If you get a message stating that the driver is not signed and cannot be installed, then this is Gatekeeper blocking it. So to install it, right click (or Control-click) on the installer and select Open from the pop-up menu. Now you will have the option to install.
The second issue is the printer not appearing in the Add printer window. The USB cable is often the cause as suggested already. Also USB hubs can be a cause. To check if the Mac can see the printer, open System Information and select USB in the left column. The top right pane will show all the USB busses in your Mac. The MP610 should be listed under one of these busses. If it is not present, then try another USB cable and/or another USB port on the Mac. Until you see the MP610 in this view, you will not be able to add the printer.

Keyboard shortcut to open a cells pop-up menu and select from list of options.

I guessed Option-Return would be the shortcut from this, as it typically lets you edit a cells contents, but no. Read the keyboard Shortcuts list in Numbers>Help but didn't see anything.

Hi ts,
Thanks for drawing my attention to this! Let's add some missing detail…
While "you just press spacebar" to open the pop-up menu, that won't select a menu item.
After you've opened the menu, 'you could press the first letter' of an entry, ( 'like every other pop-up list on Earth,') or you could press the down arrow to step down the list (and the up arrow to step up, if you went beyond the item you wanted to choose).
And you can change your mind; the menu will stay open until you confirm your choice (by pressing the space bar again, OR by pressing return OR by pressing enter).
Note that pressing the first letter will select the 'smallest' item name beginning with that letter. To move to another item name starting with that letter, you'll need to use the up or down arrow key (or the mouse).
Thanks again for posting. With luck, WideEyedPupil will still be monitoring this discussion, and will see these posts.

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?

Customizing Sorting Pop-Up Menu

I've looked on all the forums, can't find answer to this specific question.
I'm using Aperture 1.5.6, but will take an answer on 2.0 too.
I don't use most of the "default" categories established in the Sorting Pop-up Menu. But I do use other categories, like IMPORT GROUP, to sort pictures. Each time I want to see pictures according to category not in default I have to go to the List View and click on category. I cannot figure out a way to save this sort or add this category to "default" list.
Is there a way, a workaround?
Thanks.

Be wary of editing pop-up menus in Numbers. Altering any menu that has been set will change the menu AND its current setting.

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
the original
Netscape code for Macromedia) -

Behaviors Pop Up Menu

I have been using adding the behavior 'Show Pop Up Menu' to create a drop down list for my link menu. I add all the page links and upload. It works fine on the website. However if I try to change anything the next time I open the page in dreamweaver it has lost all the links.
In the events box I have still got On mouse out - hide menu etc but when I double click on On mouse over - show pop up menu all the links and text have dissapeared in the Contents section of the wizard part.
Can anyone help me with where I am going wrong. As everytime I want to make a change I have to re add all the pages and all the links.
Thanks in advance
Rachel

Thank you, I am using Dreamweaver MX.
I am a novice and have sort of understood that link you gave me! Basically does it mean that the show pop up menu behaviour is rubbish and there is no solution to my problem!?!

Smart way to auto update pop-up menu in nav bar?

Smart way to keep updating pop-up menu in Nav bar ?
I created a template in DW 8. It is used to generate many
other pages for the site. only the page content region is editable.
There is a nav bar in the template. Some buttons of the nav bar
display pop-up menu when MouseOver . Those pop-up menu need to be
changed from time to time. What is the best way to automatically
update the pop-up menu in those templated-generated files, using
template (I tried to define the nav bar as editable region,
modified the pop-ups and saved the template. I got a lots of
unexpected problems, DW8 even crashed), using libray items or
something else? I am a relatively new DW developer. Much appreciate
if someone could help.

If the navigation is in a non-editable region of the
template, then changes
to it will propagate automatically to all child pages - are
you not seeing
that happen?
> I tried to define the nav bar as editable region
You wouldn't usually want to do that.
> I got a lots of unexpected problems, DW8 even
> crashed
You must have made other errors. Doing something like this
would surely not
crash DW.
The only problem with having the navigation in the
non-editable region of
the template is that a change to it will touch *every* file
in the site,
each of which must then be uploaded again. To solve this
problem you can
use server-side includes for the navigation. Then you would
make your
change to the include file, upload it, and all pages would
reflect that
change.
