Combine link to another page with the drop down read more of an accordian

example at PEI Lawyer Referral Service Find a PEI lawyer by type of law practice or law firm PEi Legal Help see the item at the top of the left column labelled Business Lawyer Referral Service
That is a live link, but it is the label for an accordian drop down box
THE PROBLEM IS THIS
If you click on the link part, you get taken to the other page,
I need to somehow separate the link from the drop down information
Any bright ideas?
Thanks

You can use the accordion label as intro text and then container would include the detailed format of content.
Thanks,
Sanjit

How to create a button with the drop-down menu?

How do I link to another page in the same iBook?

I am trying to link from within the text of my book to another page in the same iBook. How do I do that in iBooks Author?
For example...
The text on page 1 might read.... "If you'd like to jump to the page on herbivores, click here". And that text would be linked to page 49, which is about herbivored.
Any ideas? Greatly appreciated!!

It looks like I figured this out by playing around with it.
The reason that I couldn't bookmark the text earlier is that I had created a text box and entered text in there. When you create a text box, that text is not recognized by the bookmark widget. However when you type directly into the page template itself, it recognizes the text just fine. I'm able to set bookmarks and then link to those bookmarks using the hyperlink featuer. Looks like it's solved, I was just trying to use the wrong tool for text entering.
Thanks for your help Don, you've been great!

I updated firefox to 4.0 and then to 5.0 and it doesn't look like it is supposed to, I still have the navigation tool bar at the top of my page and the drop down boxes too (file, edit, view etc). Why is this an how can I get the proper new versions?

When I updated firefox to 4.0 the only things that really changed were a couple of buttons and the position of the tabs, the blue navigation bar and the drop down menus for file etc didn't change at all.
My computer also freezes when visiting certain websites with firefox, not Every time I visit but frequently. The websites are usually commonly visited websites (Gmail, stuff.co.nz) and don't do it when I am using internet explorer or another computer. This started when I downloaded the upgrade.
I use a net-book with Windows XP.

To get the new style UI you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

I don't see the new "firefox button" and i can't see the bookmark button (with the drop down option) unless I'm in the customize toolbar view. How can I fix these?

I am using Firefox 4.0 on Windows XP home, Service pack 3. I am trying to use some of the new features of Firefox 4.0 that I see on the Firefox feature page (http://mzl.la/gCFDjj) and am not having much luck. First off in the Firefox Button. It is supposed to contain all your menu items but it is not appearing on my screen. Is this a feature that only works in Vista or Windows 7?
Second, I am trying to use the Bookmarks Button (the one that has the drop down menu) but it doesn't appear in my toolbar unless I right click the tool bar and choose "customize". The button shows up in this view already in the toolbar, as if it is hidden in normal use and no matter where I move it to, once I hit the "done" button in the customize window the Bookmarks Button gets hidden/covered up again.
Third, I see the new "App Tabs" feature but I can't seem to find an option for this in the preferences for Firefox, if it's even supported by my browser/OS at all.
Can anyone tell me how to use/activate these features or if I am even able to using Windows XP?

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar). 
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily. 
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

Go back to previous location after linking to another page in the same document

I have set up links in a pdf file and would like to have the form go to the page view attached to the link and then return to the location that initiated the link. I usually use bookmarks to move around pdf forms, but the user didn't want to see the bookmarks and wanted the look of html. Please let me know how I can link to a location and then go back where I came from.
Thanks for the help!

Yes. Use a JavaScript action with this code:
app.goBack();

Can I make a drop down 'Read More' button to display a box of information?

I have a image that I want to have a 'Read More' button underneath that you can click on and it drops down a box of 'more information', then hopefully you can click off it and it will dissapear or something similar?
Thanks heaps!
Adam

Hello Adam,
You might want to use the tabbed panel or the accordion widget for this.
If you use the tooltip widget you can use the tooltip widget options to set the even onclick (the default is on rollover), and then clikcing on the trigger will bring the target in sight.
If you use the accordion widget, you can delete two out of the three triggers in the Accordion Panel, and leave only one (by default there are three). Then make sure you keep the accordion trigger closed in the design mode. Also, make sure you use the "Can Close All" option from the Accordion options as shown in this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/hlLukFqwUqww
Hope this helps.
Cheers

When I try to print, I get one page with a header and the background image, another page with the content, and a third page with a footer and background image. How can I make it print properly?

Also, if I print to a .pdf, the background does not show up even if I have the checkbox checked to print background image.
The site I'm trying to print is:
[http://www.puertovallartatours.net/coupons-discounts.htm http://www.puertovallartatours.net/coupons-discounts.htm]

I did not have the HP printer software for Mac OSX installed properly. Once installed the problem went away.

The BBC is a drop-down menu item on my bookmarks toolbar. About 20% of the time, when I click on a news story, I get the link that's underneath, not the one on the drop-down menu. What the?

I don't understand why Firefox would take me to a link UNDERNEATH the link I clicked on in the drop-down menu. Items in the drop-down menu are supposed to be clickable. I'm tired of clicking on a BBC news story link only to be sent to the beanie babies page of Amazon.com.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I installed my third-to-latest upgrade, about 3.5

Linking to a page with a URL hyperlink

Is it possible to create a hyperlink that links to another page in the same document using the "Link To: URL" option in the New Hyperlink window?
Normally I'd just use the "Link to: Page" option but I want to upload a bunch of documents to Issuu and the only interactive object that seems to survive the conversion process is a URL hyperlink. I've also tried creating a button with a "Go To Destination" action attached but it isn't recognised by Issuu either.
I can add buttons in Issuu after I've uploaded the documents but I was hoping there would be a way to do it in InDesign that works for both normal PDFs and uploaded Issuu files.
I hope this makes sense. Let me know if it needs clarification.
InDesign version: CS6 - 8.0.1
OS: Win 7 SP1

Issuu is an online digital publishing platform. Here's an example (not mine!). You upload PDF files to the Issuu website and they are converted to a proprietary format for viewing.
The problem I'm having is that these converted files support URL hyperlinks but not any other kind of interactivity. I was hoping I would be able to use URL hyperlinks to other pages within the document if this was even possible.
I'm trying to get some assistance from the Issuu help staff but I'm not really getting anywhere. Hence the post!

Calendar Day Link to Another Page

I have a Page which has Date as LOV with Submit With Select (This is Page 10)
e.g. User selects a date, report is displayed based on date selected. This is done using Select list with Submit. Date is populated using LOV based on query. The default value of date is Maximum of date in on of my date column.
The above think works great. No problem so far.
I want to create calendar view which is another page (This is Page 20) .
Calendar is created using Calendar wizard. In Calendar, I want to link Day to above Page. I can create day link which links back to Page 10 and also report data is displayed based on date selected in Calendar.
Now, the problem: The problem is value of Date field on above page (Page 10) is always set to default value. Although, I have said that default value should only set when session state is NULL.
So my question is why Date (Display value) is not set to value passed from Calendar Page. I have checked Session info and correct value of date is present.
What should I do to correct this problem ?
The other question is :
How to disable calendar day link when there is no data to be displayed ? At present, as soon as I create a Day link, all the Days in Calendar are linked, what I want is, to hightlight/clickable which has only some data.
How should I do this ?
Thanks
Sanjay

Sanjay,
Instead of using the Day Link feature, you can create a link in the SQL query for the calendar region. This will accomplish both of your goals: It will pass the value to your other page, and it will only appear for days where there is a value.
If you look at the Orders page of the sample application, you'll see that the SQL for the calendar is :
select '<a title="Order Detail" href="f?p=&APP_ID.:29:' || :APP_SESSION || '::::P29_ORDER_ID:' || order_id || '">' || to_char(order_total, '$999,999') || '</a>
' ord, order_timestamp
from demo_orders o, demo_users u
where o.user_id = u.user_id and (u.user_name = :APP_USER
or :APP_USER = 'ADMIN')
The query returns two columns: The value to display, and a date. In this case, the value to display is a link to another page. The link passes a value for the P29_ORDER_ID value.
Documentation for the link syntax is available here: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10992/mvl_fund.htm#sthref446

How to link to another page in same application?

I think I have a brain fog right now. Cause I can't figure this out.
I would like to link to another page in the same application by way of just an arbitrary word in a paragraph.
I am not trying to pass any values. I am not using a button or a text item.
How can I make a link out of a word?
Thanks much,
Maggie

Hi Maggie!
I imagine myself, that you have a html text and you want to have a hyperlink to another page in your application.
For instance you have a text like: "I want to create a hyperlink to a page"
Now, if your mouse passes the word "hyperlink", you want to see that magic 'hand'.
First copy the URL of the target page: something like this -> "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=100:2:3122716493255005::NO:::"
Than change your html text in this way:
I want to create a hyperlink to a page
I hope, it helps

On editing clips in iMovie10, the drop down menus fail to appear

After an upload to iMovies V10, I tried to edit a clip by using "Enhance" & "Adjust" buttons on the top right side of the edit screen. But, the drop down menu (item 3 in Help for stailisation, etc) didn't appear. The icon changed colour to blue and the image in the top section (like a post card image) advanced slightly in the same frame. On pressing "Enhance", there was only a little one off bit of sound delivered. I tried the following remedies
1) Opened iMovies10 in Admin profile, but same problem;
2) Moved iMovies10 to trash & emptied Trash;&
3) Re-loaded iMovies10.
It made no difference. I'm also using another iMac loaded with V10 with no problems with the drop down menu not appearing. I have spoken to 4 people in Applecare under a case number. They have been supplied with screen shots from both iMacs for illustration purposes.The problem was to be elevated to Apple's Engineering unit for a possible solution. Meanwhile, if anyone has a solution in the community, I would be most apprecoative of any useful ideas to arrive at a fully functioning IMovie10 app. I have not tried to add transitions yet as I can't even do the stabilsation routine!

Updated iMovie on 21NOV13 with version 10.0.1. It failed to eliminate the bug mentioned above. Basically means that iMovie continues to be inoperable for me.

Reading the drop down value in interactive adobe forms in WDJ

Hi,
I have a scenario like this:
Drop down menu with values being populated from model . when i select the value from drop down and update the backend with that value, it is not done. It always takes the same value ( first one in the drop down list) and fails to take the selected value.
could anybody throw some light as how to deal with the drop down in adobe forms in WebDynpro Java?
Are there any specific settings for these?
I have taken the drop down menu from WebDynpro Native library.
Kind Regards,
Charan.

Hi Charan,
Did u try to populate the data into the dropdown with the help of Simple types.
I faced the same issue, that got resolved when i binded the dropdown with Simple types that were populated.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

My links don't work when I combine another file with the pdf

My internal bookmarked links don't work when I combine another file with the pdf.
The external links continue to work fine, though.
This doesn't make any sense to me at all ... but I'm hoping one of you kind folk can help?

I opened my file and instead of merging files I used insert pages and inserted all of the pages from the file I wanted. Then I saved the file with
the same name. Attached is a rough draft of some helpful hints I put together. This has been a very painful process for us to discover how to handle
this and there really is not much help from Adobe.
Instead of merging files you inset pages. In Acrobat select Document - Insert pages -From file. You can select all pages or some and where you want them inserted. After you do that save the file not save as and all of your links should work. If you combine files or merge files all of the links will break.

I think it's something to do with naming, but I can't figure out what. This is because it asks to be saved and gives me a Binder no as the name. If I
press Cancel at that point, I keep the file and the links. But as soon as I need to close it, it asks me again 'Do you want to save this file' and if
I say 'Yes', I lose all the links, and if yet if I say 'No', I lose the whole file. So at some point it has to be saved but whether I keep the Binder
no name when I save it, or use the original name, it makes no difference ... it is in the saving of it that it looks the functionality, and yet, if I
don't save it, I lose the file.
This makes no sense to me....I hope it does to one of you.
For instance, Christine, how did you keep your file if you couldn't save it?
Or have I misunderstood?
