Creating Drop Down nav menu in Captivate 5.5

We are making a users guide for our field service representatives. In our index, we have quite a few categories with sub-categories. If we were to list them all out, it would take up 5 or so slides, just of navigation links to OTHER slides, where the useful content would be.
What I would like to do, is to collapse the sub-categories into drop down menus that would appear when mouse over occurs, or even if the appropriate section was clicked on. I need these sub categories to appear on the same page and to easily disappear so that my techs can continue their search without major disruption, which is why I want to do drop down menus. I could have them click on the category, and have it take them to a slide with the sub-categories, but then they would have to navigate back to the index...it's too time consuming, considering their daily responsibilities.
What is the best way to create drop down navigation menus that can go 2-4 levels deep?
Cheers!
Keith

I do utilize the TOC normally, but there was a specific request made to try
and keep them "in" the document. If there is now way to do actual drop down
menus, then I can take that back to the department head and try and sell
them on TOC, but if there is a way to give them what they are asking for,
then it would be helpful to know.
These files will be distributed to technicians on their laptops, most
likely in PDF format.
So, other than the TOC, is there really no way of making a drop down menu?
What if you wanted to do a software simulator? TOC wouldn't really be valid
for that. If in the software, there are drop down menu choices, then
wouldn't it be necessary to replicate that within the project?

Help creating drop down nav bar

Hi. Can anyone pls advise what software I use to create a
drop down nav bar like that which is at the top of the adobe
homepage. I have Dreamweaver MX, Flash MX 2004 and Fireworks MX.
Will any of these do the job or do I need something else?

Try the menu systems from Project Seven.

How to create drop down menu

Hi
Can we create drop down menus in HTML DB as we do in
Visual Basic.
Thanks.

In HTML DB v2.0 you can create drop down menus. I cannot say if they are the same as Visual Basic because I am not familiar with VB..
Here is an example pull-down menu:
     A   B   C                <--- Top level
     A1 B1                   <--- Second level
     A2                       <--- Third levelInitially the user sees a horizontal menu with "A", "B', and "C". When the user clicks on "A" a menu containing "A1" and "A2" is displayed under "A".
Here is what you do to create this:
1.) Edit a page.
2.) Click the "Create" (plus sign) button in the "Lists" region under "Shared Components".
3.) Enter a List name.
4.) Make the "List Template" be "DHTML Menu with Sublist".
5.) Click the "Create List Entry >" button on the right. You are now creating your Top Level menu.
6.) Enter "A" into the "List Entry Label".
7.) Set "Target Type" to "- No Target -". This could be an URL or another page in the application.
8.) Click the "Create and Create Another" button. You are now create the lower level menus.
9.) Select "A" for the "Parent List Entry".
10.) Enter "A1" into the "List Entry Label".
11.) Set "Target Type" to "- No Target -".
12.) Repeat steps 8, through 11 for "A2".
13.) Click the "Create and Create Another" button.
14.) Repeat steps 6 through 12 for "B" and "B1".
15.) Click the "Create and Create Another" button.
16.) Repeat steps 6 and 7 for "C".
17.) Click the "Create" button.
18.) Click the "Add this list to the current page" link.
19.) Specify the region information for the menu and click "Next" button.
20.) Click the "Create List Region" button.

How to create drop-down menu with transparency

Hello,
Is it relatively easy to create drop-down menu's with
transparent drop downs? Any step by step help would be greatly
appreciated.
I thank you in advance,

Take a look at "Creating Animated Buttons". The Tweening of
the text to
the right and changing the color perhaps could be replaced or
appended
by your drop-down-needs? The Drop-Down is another Animated
Button!?

HT2905 i am trying to delete duplcates" from my i-tunes....sounds easy...except I dont have a "show duplicates" in my drop down "view menu" !! help please

Anyone help?? I am trying to remove duplicates from my Itunes library....looks easy, except I dont have a "show duplicates" tab in the drop down "view " menu !!
So, what can I do? thanks

Dear iTunes,
YOU SUCK.
Seriously.
I have used Apple products for quite some time. I have no idea why they keep changing everything that has finally become second nature! It is now MUCH more difficult - create a playlist, show duplicates, etc. Its an absolute mess and I have yet to find anyone who does not have multiple complaints.
I have this same problem. All information I look up says use "Show duplicates", which I have done many times for years before. But now when my iPad is plugged in, that option is grayed out for me (unable to be clicked on). I went to the Apple store today and the employee couldn't even answer my questions. I am planning to go back sometime with my computer as well and beg for a solid explanation.
Wouldn't it be nice if these tracks just didn't duplicate? That seems like a proper solution that would suit me well. Until then I just plug in, arrange by song, and go through manually deleting the extras. Often. #wasteoftime #annoying #argh
Good luck.

Drop down searchable menu with autocomplete

Sorry, I'm new.
Is it possible to create a drop down searchable menu with auto text complete in flash?
For a web application I have a set of 300+ terms that I would like to be able to search with a drop down menu which autocompletes partially written text. After the wanted term is selected this will then link with a button in a movie clip.
Thanks,
Furna

How do I pass a username form variable from a drop down list/menu to another page?

Hi,
I have a login_success.php page that has a drop down list/menu (which lists usernames). I want the user to click on their user name, and when they click the submit button the username information to be passed over to the username.php page which will contain a recordset, sorted by username.
How do I pass the username info from the drop down list/menu to the username.php page?
The drop down menu is connected to a recordset listUsername, I have filtered the recordset with the Form Variable = username, and I have used the POST method to send the username to the page username.php. I'm not sure how to structure the php or which page to place it on.
<form id="form1" name="form1 method="post" action="username.php">
     <label for="username_id">choose username:</label>
     <select name="username_id" id-"username_id">
          <option value="1">username1</option>
          <option value="2">username2</option>
          <option value="3">username3</option>
          <option value="4">username4</option>
     </select>
     <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
     <input type="username" type="hidden" id="username" value="<?php echo $row_listUsername['username']; ?>" />
</form>
Could somebody help me please?
Thanks.

I would not post the variable over, In this case I personally would send it through the URL and use the $_GET method to retreve it. For Example.
<html>
     <head>
          <title>Test Page</title>
          <script type="text/javascript">
               function userID(){
                    //var ID = form1.userIDs.selectedIndex;
                    var user = form1.userIDs.options[form1.userIDs.selectedIndex].value;
                    window.location = "test.html?userID=" + user;
          </script>
     </head>
     <body>
          <form id="form1">
               <select name="userIDs" id="userIDs" onchange="userID();">
                    <option>Select a User</option>
                    <option value="1">User 1</option>
                    <option value="2">User 2</option>
                    <option value="3">User 3</option>
                    <option value="4">User 4</option>
               </select>
          </form>
     </body>
</html>
//PAGE TO RETRIEVE THE USERNAME
<?php
if(isset($_GET['userID'])
     $userID = $_GET['userID'];
     echo $userID;
     die;

I can't print my statements from banking websites - the option to print (drop down file menu) from the website is greyed out

I do my banking online, and have previously been able to print my statements off the website. Since the last update, although the page shows in the browser as normal, the option to print from the drop-down file menu is greyed out and I cannot print anything, even if I try and select a portion. It is not a problem with the website as I can print without a problem in another browser program. This problem has now persisted for quite a while with no resolution over time. How do I get Firefox to allow print from a secure website (I assume that is the problem?) It occurs with more than one secure site (two different banks)

I have the same problem... not being able to print website 'Print' pages. I have read carefully the above link and have followed the reset directions in about:config, but I still cannot print in Firefox. Both Google Chrome and IE work perfectly every time. I have verified that the correct printer is selected and that the margins are in order (0.5 all around happen to be what mine are set for). I have resorted to use the Firefox Add On "View this Page in IE" whenever I need to print something. Works like a charm, but come on... it should work in Firefox too! I know there is some setting or something, but the Problems_printing_web_pages link had nothing there that worked for me.

Spry drop-down nav bar not working in Netscape 7

Hello
My site is up at www.Frontiers.uk.net.
I built a drop down navigation menu using Dreamweaver's new
Spry feature. It works fine in IE 6 & 7, Firefox & Mozilla,
but in Netscape 7 (the only Netscape I've tested), the dop-down
menus don't always appear (eg under Courses), and the submenus,
which should slide out to the right (eg. next to 'Children's
courses' under Courses) - do not work.
This bothers me as my stats (LiveStats) say that 30% of my
users (the highest amount) are using Netscape 7.x. Which I find
strange (I don't think that figure includes Firefox as the stats
list that separately).
Anyone else have this problem, and any idea how to fix it?
Thanks,
James

Have you contacted Project VII support or searched their knowledge base?
http://www.projectseven.com/support/index.htm
Also, is there any way to remove unused styles (in an external CSS) in DW? Just it would be a pain to go through and remove the styles I've tried, but then later decided not to use.
Not exaclty a DW answer, but I've used the free FireFox add-on to help me find unused selectors. Point it to a sitemap.xml and it can spider the whole site (as listed in that xml file).
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5392
But be careful with it. It apparently doesn't read JavaScript and your PMM triggers are actually used.

Creating Drop Down Lists in J2ME

Hello all,
I'm not an experienced programmer, and I fear that the rumours of posting a crie for help only to be set upon by hundreds of blood thirsty 'newbe' hunters may be true, but here goes none the less.
Would love to know if any kind soul has hints on how to create drop down lists in J2ME, for selecting a option which would be able to relate to a database (Table).
At the moment I'm using straight forward TextField entries, which is hardly convenient! :)
Any help/comments/sweets appreciated!
Cam

Hi Cameron,
Only MIDP 2.0 support drop down list. So if you currently coding in the MIDP 2.0 environment, here are the codings.
String arr = new String[]{"Happy","Sad"};
ChoiceGroup ch = new ChoiceGroup("Select Choice:",ChoiceGroup.POPUP,arr,null);
append(ch);
Hope this codes is helpful to you.
