CSS pop up menus problems

put together the attached website using a trick I found on
the internet to create CSS pop ups with not a lot of javascript.
There is a patch in the code to get the menus to work on IE.
However, after putting this together, they still seem not to be
working. Any thoughts? I am thinking that the function code I am
using is not translating properly because I divided the menus into
tables.

Pop-up menus and frames

A web page with Fireworks 8 Javascript (not CSS) pop-up menus
imported into Dreamweaver 8 works fine on its own. However, if I
include the page in a frameset, the menus
appear to work OK (e.g. everything pops up and down when
expected, all the rollover transitions appear flawless, and the
pop-ups are well clear of the frame boundary), but when a popped up
menu item is selected,
nothing happens - the top-level menu items are the only ones
which still navigate to their links.
(I normally avoid using framesets, but the frameset in this
instance has a useful applications function and I would be loth to
remove it)

Hi Max:
Did you define a target for your pop-up menu links? See:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/studio/articles/fwmx_popup03.html
Also make sure that the paths in the links are valid URLs.
It would seem strange that nothing is happening. How do the
menus work
when you browse the Fireworks HTML directly outside the
frameset? This
might give us a clue as to what's happening.

Strange problem with Dreamweaver Pop-Up menus

Hello:
I have encountered a very strange problem with DreamWeaver
pop-up menus, and I was wondering if I could get some help from
this forum, as I can't seem to find an answer anywhere else.
The problem involves use of DreamWeaver's pop-up menu
behavior — all works as expected, and my local preview of the
Web page/site works fine, but when I upload the site to a server, I
see extra question mark and "box" characters added to my drop-down
menus. This problem is inconsistent between browsers: Sometimes I
see it only on IE, sometimes I also see it on Firefox.
For example, check out the following URLs:
http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/cci/
... this implementation of drop-down menus ("Services"
button, etc.) displays an extra "box" character for each of the
drop-down menu items, but this only occurs in IE -- Firefox is
fine.
http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/microtek/HTML/MicroTek_home.html
... this implementation of drop-down menus shows an extra
question mark above the triggering link onMouseOver for Firefox,
and in IE, it shows this "box" character for both the triggering
buttons and for each menu item.
For both of these sites, the pop-up menus work without a
problem *when I'm looking at a local version on my workstation*.
What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on here????
Any help for this problem is appreciated.
Note that I stripped out the JavaScript code for menu
information from the <head></head> area of each of
these pages and placed it in a linked JavaScript document.
HELP!

First, you need to read this, written by the person who
adapted that menu
code for Macromedia -
http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/

such things -

Problems with blu-ray pop-up menus

I made the mistake of tacking this question/problem onto another similar post, so here it is again for some:
I got this error message near the end of the disc build:
Blu-ray Error: "fatal error". Code: "6", Note: "Graphics buffer underflows. - Failed to multiplex with maximum IG PTS: 54900000 (in 90kHz).
The blu-ray project I am working on is an 87 min live concert with about 8 other much shorter timelines. The main menu has 6 buttons with a motion background. There are few submenus as well, but the problem came when I started making pop-up menus for the various timelines.
This is the first project where I really had to explore the possibliltes and limitations of Encore's pop-up menus. I burned a test disc with just a basic pop-up menu to see how the menu's opacity would look over the final video. All the video assets were set to to transcode "Automatically". All audio assets are blu-ray compliant Surround ac3's or 16-bit stereo WAV's so could be left as "Don't Transcode". This disc burned perfectly.
I then went through the pretty involved process of making a final version of the main pop-up menus. The main concert's pop-up menu has 5 pages (including page 0). There are specific pop-up menus for other timelines, but those have no more than 2 pages. None of the menus have more than 10 buttons.
I tried to burn the disc, and it came back with the error above. After reading some other posts, I thought it was worth a try to delete the AuthorScriptHDMVSessions folder before starting a new burn since it was already filled with files from my test burn. That didn't help.
Any insight or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

After countless tests and research, I finally have a successfully burned blu-ray with WORKING multi-page pop-up menus (that I am happy with). Thank you to all the people who gave theoretical guidance and suggestions in emails and other posts. There has been no shortage of oddities and obstacles to overcome when just trying to make a simple blu-ray. Unfortunately, I did not have the time to accurately pinpoint what was causing the original error message. The project just needed to get done.
The main pop-up menu has 4 pages, with 13 buttons on each page. Only about 5 - 9 of the "buttons" on each page are actual buttons that link anywhere. The other buttons on each page only serve as the remaining pieces of the menu's background and cannot be accessed on the final disc. Totally ridiculous way to make the backgrounds for pop-up menus, but it works.
Some of the other things I learned regarding pop-up menus + Encore misc:
1. If at all possible, totally create a menu .psd BEFORE bringing it into an Encore project. Make the button order in the .psd what you want it to end up being in the end (bottom layer is button 1). If you start editing and saving order after it has been brought in, Encore will almost always revert it back to some strange (possibly original) button order. You will spend all your time re-routing button navigation and changing their numbers, only to find out later that Encore has changed it all back without notice.
2. As many people state, it is best to have Encore do as little thinking as possible. All of my button groups originally had Text Layers within them with some fx applied. I merged each text layer down into that button's background layer to essentially rasterize the text with the fx applied. Each (+) button group therefore only had a higlight layer and a background layer. After doing this for all the buttons, the .psd file size was greatly reduced. Naturally I saved a copy before going through the merging process in case I ever had to go back and edit the text.
3. Originally the background for the pop-up menus were made from a rectangle cut-out of the background of the main menu. This was the width of the frame and around 1/5 of the height. I had changed the opacity to around 60%, and cut up the pieces to go with their respective buttons. For the final disc, I just made a shape with the Rounded Rectangle Tool, and filled it with a solid colour. It is probably only about half the size of the original pop-up menu's background. I changed its opacity as well, but then merged it with a blank layer so Encore didn't have to think about the opacity setting.
4. I encoded all the video elements BEFORE they were brought into the project. There are some issues with the way the file sizes are interpretted by Encore, but I won't trust it to encode anything again.
5. For some reason Encore wants to transcode 16-bit, 48.0 kHz .aiff files when making a blu-ray, but 16-bit, 48.0 kHz .wav files do NOT need trancoding (for both dvds and blu-rays).

Problems Creating a Blu-ray Disc with a Main (Static) Menu and Pop-up Menus

I'm having problems creating a simple Blu-ray disc containing a Main Menu (Static Menu with a graphic for my background) and a single Pop-up menu assigned to all of my timelines. I wouldn't think this would be so hard to create but every attempt I've made ends up with the navigation getting all messed up to the point that my Playstation 3 doesn't even recognize that the disc as being Blu-rey disc.
I want a simply static Main menu containing a "Play all" Button, and a button for each additional timelines. Im also using the override commands on my buttons so if someone just chooses to see one specific clip from the main menu, they will be taken back to the main Menu after their selected clip plays. But then I also want a Pop-up menu assigned to the timelines so the viewer can switch to a different clip (timeline) without having to go back to the Main (static) menu.
My Blu-ray Disc runs just fine if I only use a static menu in a project, or if I only use a single Pop-up menu assigned to each timeline, but not both a Static Main menu, and pop-up menus. I'm using CS4
Thanks.

it's just copying files to it, not video. If you put a blank blu-ray disk in the drive, it may show up in the finder. A program like Toast can burn a blu-ray.

Problem Pop Up Menus

This is a real newbie question. I have used the pop up menu
behavior on other sites but on the site that I am currently
developing it doesn't work. I put a link round the text and open
the behaviors menu only to find that the Show Pop up Menu option is
greyed out. Any suggestions?

Please just don't use these pop-up menus.

What is a good extenstion for pop up menus?

I recently created a site in Fireworks that used pop up menus
but then found out later that they don't work on Internet Explorer
(you can view the site at www.caspre.com it is the very last menu
item at the end called "about cascade"). What I need to know is if
there is a good extension for dreamweaver (or fireworks) that won't
cause problems in ie. It should be noted that the pop up menu works
great in Firefox.

lots of folks.

Working with pop up menus in Dreamweaver CS4

this is my first time working with pop up menus in CS4 (have built many in previous versions), Adobe says you cannot create the pop up menus due to the new Spry feature - but that you can alter existing menus using the Behaviours panel
I have just launched a new website using pop up menus - and there is a glitch when viewing the rollover/pop up menus: I see a question mark to the left of each image in the menu (the images themselves are working beautifully), does anyone know why?
view the website here:
http://www.kiwihouse.org.nz
I want to keep the pop up menu so am looking for a solution to eliminate the floating question mark
does it have anything to do with the multiple javascripts on each page?.. I have one for the menus, and one for the multiple fadeshow
any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
dQ

Not sure if this is the problem, don't have time to go through all your code - but putting the page through the validator bought up a lot of errors...
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kiwihouse.org.nz%2F
Look at the 3rd error message - it's to do with the way the script link has been written.
Lots of other errors that need fixing as well.
On another note, these pop up menus are not the best way to create menus these days, that's why the pop up menu feature was removed from the latest DW version.

Pop-Up Menus and active content errors - Help!

I'm attempting to add pop-up menus to my navigation bar, to
make my site more user-friendly, but to no avail:
I've tried designing pop-up menus in Fireworks, then
importing the html code in, but that gives me errors when I try to
insert the bar. Then, I tried putting my menus in different layers,
with a "show layer" behavior on the button, and a "hide layer"
behavior attached to the roll-off of the layer, but my version of
Dreamweaver won't attach a behavior to a layer.
Then, I noticed the tech-note on this site for the fix to use
pop-ups in a template, so I added pop-up menus directly to my
navigational buttons using the wizard. So here's where my problem
comes in. . .
When I preview my page, it throws up an active content error,
but will still run. I uploaded it to my remote server, but when I
went to the url, no action takes place when I put my cursor over
it. Anybody have any ideas on how to create a pop-up menu that
won't throw up an active content error? I've seen them on plenty of
websites before, but can't figure how to do them.
Any light you could shed would be greatly appreciated!

Sometimes, they make your site less user-friendly. So be
careful.
The DW/FW pop-up menus are usually something that should be
avoided. They
are very poorly thought out and implemented, and will likely
cause you
continuing problems. It's foolish to devote the time to them
that could be
more effectively be placed elsewhere, especially since there
are better
options that work right out of the box, so to speak. Please
check the free
and commercial options here -
http://www.projectseven.com/.
> Any light you could shed would be greatly appreciated!
Don't use DW/FW pop-up menus.

Beyond Pop-Up Menus

I recently generated a set of pulldown menus using
dreamweaver 8 behaviors. I am currently trying to modify them.
First I moved the onmouseover from the link to the table cell.
During onmousover I want the table cell to turn the same color as
the pulldown menu (similar to the pulldown menus on the adobe site
above).
Test Page
http://www.triodisplay.com/company/about2.php
I gave the cells ids and added some javascript. The first
link (catalog) works correctly while the others don't during
onMouseout.
Here is the javascript I created to change the color of the
cell.
quote:
function changeStyleById(id){
if (document.getElementById)
var nodeObj = document.getElementById(id)
nodeObj.style.background = '#333333';
function changeStyleBackById(id){
if (menuid != 0) {
var nodeObj = document.getElementById(id)
nodeObj.style.background = '#B2B2B2';
Here is the cell that calls the code.
quote:
<td align="left" id="1"
onMouseOver="MM_showMenu(window.mm_menu_0425152551_0,-2,9,null,'image1',
'2')" onMouseOut="MM_startTimeout('1');"> <a href="
http://www.triodisplay.com/ps/ps.php"
class="topnav"> <img src="testbutton/blank.gif" alt="design"
name="image1" width="1" height="1" border="0" id="image1">Retail
Design</a></td>
Here is a link to the javascript
http://www.triodisplay.com/company/mm_menu.js
The problem I am having is onMouseOut="MM_startTimeout('1') .
MM_startTimeout calls a function and I've inserted a variable for
it to pass which is equal to the id. The problem is the mm_menu.js
is a list of functions and I can't figure out how to get my
variable to my new function.
I am looking for either an easy way to pass the variable or
if someone has a suggestions to change the color of the cell with
the pulldown menus I'd appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

> First I moved the onmouseover from the link to the table
cell
Bad choice. So was your selection of the DW pop-up menus.
Here's what the
person who adapted that code for Macromedia has to say about
the method you
are using -

Could you possibly consider one of the several other REALLY
GOOD ways to do
this? By the way, these good ways would allow you to do what
you want
easily....

Keeping Nav Bars highlighted with pop-up menus

How do I get navigation bars to stay highlighted while the
mouse is over the pop-up menu in Dreamweaver 8 and Fireworks 8? I
found directions on the Adobe Website, but it only works for the MX
versions, as the codes are different. Navigation bars and pop-up
menus were created in Fireworks and exported tov Dreamweaver.
Thanks

I am having this problem as well. Does anyone have a
solution?

Maintaining over state on pop-up menus

I've just recently switched from MX to 8. My pop-up menus are
all done using the new CSS function and I can't figure out how to
keep the over state when viewing sub menus (I have two levels of
sub-menus, if there's a way to keep the over state for both that
would be awesome!!).
I had done it previously in MX using the instructions
available on the web, but they're no longer applicable.
Please help

DW Pop-up menu problems

Ive used Dreamweaver to generate the pop-up menus on the
following page;
http://new.andersonsolicitors.com/index_dd_test.php
The problem is in IE, next to the top two items under
'services' there is the symbol that you see if you have a link to
an image that is broken. Does anyone know how to sort this? These
items are part of a tree, with further menus coming off them
Also, some of the text is too long to fit in the width of the
menus, does anyome know hoe to make the text wrap in this case?
Many Thanks

Please read this very carefully. You need to re-think this
approach....

Strange pop-up menus on any basic funcion.

I have never seen this problem before. On my iMac with OS X 10.8.2 I get strange pop-up menus when I attempt the most basic functions . When I try to sign off it says New Folder. When I attempt to close a window it says Icon and Text. When I attempt to access the URL line it says Hide Tool Bar. When I click anywhere on the desktop it says New Folder. Do you have any suggestions?

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Trackpad and pop-up menus

I'm new to MacBook Pro but not to Mac - have had one since the old 512.
anyway, the trackpad which I loved for the first few days over the mouse is now driving me crazy and I couldnt find answers anywhere. First problem I get this pop-up menus all over the place - the ones that may say back, hyperlink. Second problem the lag for scrolling and I have it set most sensitive and fast. Sometimes the cursor just sits there. I vary the pressure of my fingers and sometimes that works.
I've just had this MBP a little over a week but the trackpad is problematic. Can anyone solve this problem? If so, thank you thank you.

I called Apple twice before finally realizing it was mostly technique on my part. The tech did walk me through the resets and that seemed to help, but in the end it was mostly me.
First let me say that I love trackpads; I even had one on my old PC instead of a mouse. So I was sure it was the MBP. Well, I started paying attention and suddenly it hit me - the MBP trackpad is HUGE! It must be twice the size the one on my work HP. But my natural tendency on the MBP was to keep my finger centered in the MBP trackpad just like I do on the HP. And that made it much more likely that another finger would inadvertently touch the trackpad. But why? Unlike the HP, the MBP doesn't have areas reserved for special functions like scrolling. So it doesn't matter where you drag your fingers, and the 2-finger scrolling is flat brilliant. By working my fingers closer to the right edge (right-handed) it's pretty much eliminated the random false inputs from my other fingers.
