Creating a menu in cs5

Hi, I could use a little help. I'm switching over to DW CS5 and have a couple of questions.
I want to create a menu.  It doesn't drop down or jump around.  It looks like this"

Now, the above "menu" is always visable and has a little square box to the left of it on each line, which I'm sure can be typed in as a font..  All six lines lines are visiable on all six pages of the web site.  When mousing over a particular line, the color changes from say, white to orange.  There is a dark bkg behind it.  All the pages have this menu in the same place.
SO, how do I arrainge the pages?  Is there a background page or just a cut out for the hotlines?  Or do I put them all on each page.  IF so, how do you get them to toggle to indiacate the correct page? Do I use Spry or just draw hotlines around each line?
I have the pages in EPS with all the font and graphics on separate layers. Will that help?
Best Regards
Pat

You should be able to do this with Spry.  Just don't make any sublevels and tell it to be a vertical menu.  As far as showing something different for whichever page is active, I am not sure if Spry has documentation on this.  I will look, but I just don't remember it.  It would be possible with Javascript and I know the Project Seven menus have this by functionality by default.
As far as your other questions.  I am not sure what you are asking about when you are asking how to arrange your pages.  The menu has to be on all pages it is needed.  With a small site, if the pages are close in design, you could just make a template page in Dreamweaver and apply that template to all six pages of your site and the menu will be adjusted accordingly.
To your final question, the graphics will help.  And the text will for titles, but anything that you want Google or other search engines to read should be retyped as text and not brought over as an image.

  • Creating a Menu without Photoshop

    Hello ~
    When I purchased CS5 PrPro I was told that Encore would allow me to create custom menus for DVDs.
    I have completed my video project and editing and exported the work from Pro to Encore with success along with several chapter markers that I would like to link from two menu pages. I am using Encore now for the first time.
    I have to explain that the package I purchased did not include Photoshop. But Photoshop is referenced all through the instructions as a critical element. (Another heavily referenced program I did not get is Afteraffects.)
    Nonetheless, once I had my film complete and tried to create a menu in Encore, it seems that a custom menu cannot be made without Photoshop and all I've got to choose from is templates that have the quality and look to me like a kid's video of "What I Did on my Summer Vacation."
    At any rate, what I tried to do is take a jpeg, import it into the Encore library, and place it as the menu. But upon that background, is it at all possible to create links on areas of the screen. For example, can you designate a character or a space on the screen as a "hotspot" to link. How can one import art of one's own choosing as the background for a menu in Encore?
    Thanks for taking the time to read all this and any help you folks might have to offer.
    ~ Jeff

    Jeff,
    You can create custom Menus in Encore, though having PS makes things much easier, and offers far greater power.
    In Encore, start with the Blank Menu of the proper Aspect Ratio for your Project. This brings in a Menu with the proper initial structure, and a black background. You can add images, or Motion Assets (AV files) to that Menu. You can also look through the many hundreds of Buttons, and drag those to the Menu, so while you cannot create custom Buttons, you have tons to choose from. You can also alter the Sort/View in the Library, so that you are only looking at Buttons, though they will be grouped by the various sub-folders in the Library folder hierarchy.
    You will be working from pre-made Assets, but can Scale and alter some other attributes as needed. With so many to choose from, you should be able to find something that looks good to you.
    Add PS to your suite and you can do almost anything within the DVD-specs. Not sure if Stanley's link covers the links in this ARTICLE, but if not, you will have more resources on the DVD-specs.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Why is Encore 6.0 giving me the "blue screen of death" when I try to create a menu?

    When I purchased my student edition 6.0 (which I love by the way), Encore did not have any of the libraries loaded up on it. After reading some discussions, I downloaded the missing folders.
    Now, when I try to create a menu, my computer shuts down and gives me "the blue screen of death" as they call it (a blue screen with white writting, counting up to 100%, and saying Windows is preparing to crash...or something about the hard drive crashing....I can't remember because it goes off the screen so quickly).
    I've done this several times - my computer only does this when I try to create a menu in encore, and not in any other part of encore. It hasn't happened in any of the other programs either (Premiere Pro and Audition are the only other programs I have used so far), or any other times I have my laptop.
    Because of this, I am not too concerned since it seems Encore is the problem. However, I do not want any other problems to escalade from this either.
    Am I doing something wrong? Can someone please help me? I'm working on my Senior Thesis (a video) this year, and I really really cannot afford to have my computer crash on me.
    Please and thank you,
    Meghin

    Not in iWeb itself.
    You have to create these menus yourself. Start here :

    Also, see podcast episode 9 of

    and then add them to a webpage with the HTML Snippet.
    Or add the menu to the webpage with a JavaScript.

  • Help Needed in creating dropdown menu in excel using JXL

    Hi,
    I am trying to create dropdown menu in using JXL.
    The Code:
    private void createRequiredRows(WritableSheet writableSheet, List unallowCodeList,int rowCount
                   , int startRowNo,int colCount) throws WriteException {
    Label unallowCode = null;
              WritableFont noBoldFont = new WritableFont(WritableFont.ARIAL, 8,WritableFont.NO_BOLD);
              WritableCellFormat dropDownCellFormat = new WritableCellFormat(noBoldFont,new NumberFormat("000"));
              dropDownCellFormat.setAlignment(Alignment.RIGHT);
              WritableCellFeatures writableCellFeature = new WritableCellFeatures();
              writableCellFeature.setDataValidationList(unallowCodeList);
              for (int rowNo = startRowNo; rowNo < startRowNo + rowCount; rowNo++) {
                   unallowCode = new Label(colCount, rowNo, "Select",dropDownCellFormat);
                   unallowCode.setCellFeatures(writableCellFeature);
                   writableSheet.addCell(unallowCode);
    it creates a drop down in the Excel.
    But writableCellFeature.setDataValidationList(unallowCodeList); has a limitation of characters .So the dropdown menu gets truncated when it exceeds the limitation.
    Can anyone help me in creating dropdown menu in excel without any limitation using JXL..
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I dont know the solution for this, but heres a work arround
    //create new label some where else in the excel sheet as shown below
    Label lblcmbdata;
    for(int i=0; i<1000; i++)
                 lblcmbdata = new Label(75, i, (i+1)+" satish", format);
                 sheet1.addCell(lblcmbdata);
    }//set the validation range as shown below
    writableCellFeature.setDataValidationRange(75,0,75,1000);
    Label cmb = null;
    cmb = new Label(0, 1, "Select",format);
    cmb.setCellFeatures(writableCellFeature);
    sheet.addCell(cmb);this will create a combo list with 1000 values
    also you can keep the data to be populated in the different sheet in same workbook by creating a named range as below
    workbook.addNameArea("cmbdata", sheet1, 0, 0, 0, 1000);
    // then fill the data in sheet1
    Label lblcmbdata;
    for(int i=0; i<1000; i++)
                    lblcmbdata = new Label(0, i, (i+1)+" satish", format);
                    sheet1.addCell(lblcmbdata);
    //set the validation named range as below
    writableCellFeature.setDataValidationRange("cmbdata");
    Label cmb = null;
    cmb = new Label(0, 1, "Select",format);
    cmb.setCellFeatures(writableCellFeature);
    sheet.addCell(cmb);Thanks and Regards

  • How to create a Menu for PeopleSoft HRMS application program ?

    Folks,
    Hello. I am developing PeopleSoft HRMS application program for a client. I have created 10 components. But I don't understand how to create a Menu on the left handside for users to access the components. The Menu's structure is as follows:
    Folder Root containing Folder1, Folder2.
    Folder1 containing Folder1a, Folder1b.
    Folder2 containing Folder2a, Folder2b.
    Folder1a containing Component1, Component2.
    Folder1b containing Component3, Component4.
    Folder2a containing Component5, Component6, Component7.
    Folder2b containing Component8, Component9, Component10.
    The Folder Root should appear in the Menu on the left handside. A user can reach Compoent1 by clicking
    Folder Root -> Folder1->Folder1a ->Component1.
    Can any folks tell me how to create such a hiearachical Menu ? Thanks.

    Folks,
    Hello. Thanks a lot for replying to me. By using PeopleTools->Portal->Structure and Content Reference, I have created the hierachical folder groups:
    FolderRoot containing Folder1 and Folder2
    Folder1 -> Folder1a -> the link to a Component
    Folder1 -> Folder1b -> the link to a Component
    Folder2 -> Folder2a -> the link to a Component
    The above hierachical folder groups have appeared on the left handside under "Menu" and work correctly.
    But when click on "FolderRoot", "Folder1" and "Folder2" don't appear under "FolderRoot" on the right handside of the screen. When click on "Folder1", "Folder1a" and "Folder1b" don't appear under "Folder1" on the right handside of the screen.
    I have checked PeopleTools ->Portal -> Structure and Content Reference's folder administration, there are no places to type in information to have children folders appear under its parent folder on the right handside of the screen.
    My question is :
    How to make children folders appear under its parent folder on the right handside of the screen ?

  • Creating DVD menu in Photoshop?

    Hi all,
    I'm wondering if it's possible to create a menu using Photoshop and import it into DVD Studio Pro with all the layers intact along with all the buttons? I am used to using Adobe Encore which has this feature. All you need to do in Photoshop is name each layer a certain way and as soon as you import your .psd file into Encore it automatically converts each specified layer to a button, image, link, etc. Does DVD Studio Pro have this feature as well?
    Thanks all!

    Does not sound like it is the same (you cannot automatically create links etc.)

  • Please advise: create chapters and create navigation menu

    Hi,
    relatively new to FCP I'm trying to create three chapters in a 1.5 hr. movie. Can someone tell me how to create 3 separate chapters, each preceded by it's owner chapter page.
    I want to create a navigation menu from these chapters, that will be included on the DVD so that viewers can navigate immediately to either of these chapters.
    I find the FCP manual rather confusing. Any help will be greatly appreciated !!!!
    THNX

    [email protected]

    In FCP, you create chapter markers by first making sure that none of the clips are selected, then place the Timeline playhead where you want the chapter marker to be located, then hit the m key twice. A marker dialog window will open; give the chapter a name if you like (optional), then click the Chapter button in the dialog window.
    Once you're finished with that (all editing should be completed before chapter markers are added), go to File-Export->QuickTime Movie. Include DVD Studio Pro markers in the drop-down menu.
    Once in DVD Studio Pro, create the menu(s) you want to use, or import them if you created the menus in another application like Motion or Photoshop. Link to menu buttons to the chapters.
    You should be able to find any number of tutorials online regarding this subject, as well as plenty of information in the DVD-SP user's manual/help files.
