Database Design - Drop Down Menus
Hello alll,
I'm designing the database of Tire Store. We need to manage the Items and the Price List.
The tire has many specifications, ex: Category, Aspect Ratio, Origin, Pattern, Ply, etc
Each one of these specifications has a list of values (Drop Down Menus).
The Item table is as follows; ITEM( Category_ID, Aspect Ratio_ID, Origin_ID, Pattern_ID, Ply_ID)
Which solution is better:
- I create one table for each specification that takes the value as a primary key directly cuz the values are unique for every spec.
so will have ITEM('LVR', 65, 'JP', 'AL2', 12);
- I create one table that contains all drop down values together, ex:
SPECS(ID, NAME), ex: SPEC(1, 'Category'); SPEC(2, 'Aspect Ratio); etc.
DDMS(ID, SPEC_ID, SPEC_VALUE), ex: DDMS(1, 1, 'LVR'); DDMS(2, 1, 'MLS'); DDMS(3, 2, 'MLS'); etc.
ITEM( Category_ID, Aspect Ratio_ID, Origin_ID, Pattern_ID, Ply_ID) becomes
ITEM(DDM_ID, DDM_ID, DDM_ID, etc)
I think the first solution is more convenient, less joins and the ID is the same as value, but i need to create many tables for that, I have 10 specs means 10 tables.
Ur opinion please
Have you done any research on database normalization? You may want to read about it.
In my opinion you would have different entities/tables for category, aspect ratio, origin, pattern and ply. These would all be related via foreign key to a tire entity/table. That way when you want to provide a drop down menu for aspect ratio, you don't have to search through the entire combined entity/table that you were suggesting. You'll only have to query the aspect ratio entity.
There is nothing wrong with doing joins that are necessary. You could always encapsulate frequently run queries in a view.
Hope this helps!

Muse will not open any drop down menus while in design mode.Screen just flickers.
I downloaded the new update and while in design mode in muse in one of my pages I cannot access any drop down menus like for example choosing fonts hyperlinks ect.I cannot do any of it I uninstalled and re-installed 3 times I don't know it this is a graphics issue or not how can fix this?
Are you using Windows 8 or 8.1 ?
The Muse 2014 release is incompatible with 125% Display scaling via the Windows Control Panel in Windows 8 and 8.1. The only workaround is to switch to 100% or 150% Display scaling.
Thanks,

Drop down menus showing in design mode... help!
I maintain a Web site (designed by someone else) that has
drop down menus. Most of the time the drop down menus do not show
up when I am working on the page in DW design mode. However
recently some of the pages started showing all the menus stacked
going down the page above everything else. I can't figure out why
this is happening and how to make them not show like they used to.
It seems to be causing problems when I want to update the site via
the template.
Any ideas? Thanks.Or supply a URL?

''''''i installed the new firefox and now its got a weird graphic glitch. i run windows 7 starter on my netbook and it seems as if the main window got two layers, the windows style and the new firefox style on top. the problem is, beside that some buttons dont really work, that the drop down menus are not really readable and the highlighting in the dropdown menus stays after going thought them.
greetsStart Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver. -
My Drop Down Menus Do Not Work Properly in IE
Hey. I'm really stuck and have been for over a week. Let me preface this by telling you I didn't build our website and have little knowledge of spry and spry assets. I can't the get the gentleman that built our site to help and I'm desperate!
The site - www.ncsoccer.org , has drop down menus. They work fine in Chrome, FF and Live Preview (DW CS4). But in IE8, they do not.
I had to revise the drop downs (changing names and removing some drop downs - I've done this with no problem before). When I uploaded the index page and the template pages, the error started.
In addition, the people in my office that use Contribute to update their sections, cannot access anything but our index page and I don't know what (if anything) I've done wrong, as everything worked fine before the menu revision.
I'm including the 'sprymenubarhorizontal.css" code below. Maybe you can see something that isn't right.
Thanks for any insight or suggestions. Remember, asking me to create to create sprys or widgets or something like that may be over my head! Try to dumb it down for me!
Thanks.

DW-MX-04 Drop-down menus won't work.
I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004 (have been for several years, so I know my way around it). I want to create drop-down or fly-outs menu's to consolidate page links into categores in order to reduce the number of link tabs I have on each page. I've been able to create the menu's I needed (using: Tag Chooser\ Behaviors\ Show Pop-U Menu), but when I preview the pages in IE, the text only shows on the mouseover text (not on top) despite having the text color set as black in the Menu window. But it gets worse. When I uploaded the page to try it, the drop down menus don't show up at all when I hover over the main buttons and I get javascript errors.
Can anyone give me so assistance on how to resolve this?
I've checked the text color issue using the code view editing pane, and it matches the way I have it setup in the Pop-Up Menu. But that's the least of my worries if I can't get them to work at all when the pages are live.
Thanks...JEBMX2004 software is also somewhat antiquated and no longer supported by Adobe. So it shouldn't surprise you that the tools from nearly a decade ago are obsolete today. The web itself has changed significantly since 2004!
Web standards have moved from HTML3 to HTML5. Layouts have departed from old school nested tables to more efficient CSS. Unlike a decade ago, today's web devices include everything from hand held smartphones & tablets to laptops, desktops and TV displays. So it's not possible to stand still and keep pace with the evolving web. If you're not moving forward, you're falling behind.
CSS is not an extension. HTML = content. CSS = Cascading Style Sheets. CSS is used to style your content. With CSS you can make an ordinary list look like a very cool menu with buttons, borders, shadows, drop-down and rollover effects. If you master CSS, you can do some very creative things with it. However, coding skills are essential.
Below is an example of an unordered list styled with CSS to make a nice horizontal drop-menu.
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/CSS-Multi-colored-drop-menu.shtml
To further illustrate the efficiency and power of CSS, look at CSS Zen Garden.
http://www.csszengarden.com/
Every page on the right panel contains exactly the same HTML code as the first. The only difference is the CSS code.
The shift to CSS is intended to help web designers keep styles separate from content. Learning to work with CSS will make a you better web designer and save countless hours of tedious re-coding when you decide to change the look of your site. It's much easier to edit one file instead of many.
Below are some links to help you learn more about how to work with CSS.

Best practice for creating large drop down menus?
I'm attempting to transition from using Photoshop to Fireworks cs4 for design and prototyping of websites.
Right now I'm working on re-creating a nav bar design in FW. The design calls for large drop down menus with lots of non-standard content similar to nymag.com
I've got each button setup as a 2 state button, however when the large drop down spans across to the right, the other buttons next to it appear to be over the first fly out. If I move that layer on top of the others, all the other buttons begin to act strangely. Any ideas?I have to agree with Pixlor and here's why:
http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
and another:

Drop down menus / search engine friendly
Hi,
I've been tasked with creating a new company website and having it go live April 10th. I would like to use iWeb to get it done.
Are drop down menus possible with iWeb? To be clear, I'm talking about if you hover your cursor over a menu item; say products, a drop down menu will appear listing specific products and link to that products page.
The other main requirement is that the site be search engine friendly. Our current website is in Flash and is virtually invisible to search engines.
I hope that these questions haven't been answered by digging just a little further, it's just that I'm under a tight deadline and must get started.
I've been a Mac user since 88 and I would like to work on my preferred platform. I've got a decent background in design. (I'd like to not use Dreamweaver under this deadline) Our current website is www.rapid.com. It was made from a flash template that I was told to use so I made the best of it.
I'm going for a clean looking non fussy user experience, unlike what we have now.
Thanks for any help you may have.As Massimo says, they are just fine in the basic sense.
The adminition you are familiar with was related to *any*
menu system that
embedded your actual menu links within javascript
'document.write' commands,
just the way the DW pop-up menus prior to CS3 does, and the
way the FW
pop-up menus prior to FW8 did.
If you can look at the HTML on the psge, and SEE the links in
the HTML, then
a search engine will also be able to see them, and therefore
spider your
site.
BUT - if you have sub-menus, and I have javascript disabled,
*I* will not be
able to access those sub-menu links when I come to your site.
Further,
neither will anyone with a screen reader. That's a
problem....

Drop down menus/layout tables
Hi,
I'm trying to redesign a church website that I built last
year. I used Frontpage mostly using layers. I made the page for 800
resolution screens, so the content sits to the left of the page
with blank spots to the right using higher resolutions.
I want to center the page with colored margins. I know I can
use layout tables to do that, but I havent figured out how to make
drop down menus without using layers. I've gotten this far
http://www.216west3rd.org/GraySite/index.htm
and it is exactly what I want it to look like, just cant figure out
the dropdown menu thing.
I have Dreamweaver 8 and would upgrade to Dreamweaver CS3 if
it could do that task.
www.statesman.com (our local Austin newspaper) is an example
of what I want to do. Content centered with drop down or cascading
menus.
I'm not a codewriter, I only use design modes. Can anyone
help me with this?
Thanks in advance,

To be specific, would these drop down menus on this page
http://www.flashden.net/category/flash/menus-buttons/horizontal-menus
work in CS4?
Cam Flash CS4 create drop down menus without getting into
scripting? If so, is it like DW? Want to do a site like this
http://www.theswag.com/about.htm
Thanks.

No it can't.
It's just like regular flash with the ability to design every
single element from scratch,
it is not Power Point ;)
The new features are more for Time line oriented design but
nothing too major. I have been
playing for a while and with all honesty, because I don't
code in AS 3.0, I don't find it useful
and I move back to Flash 8 Pro.

How did the captivate overview demo do a Menus in such a
complicated way???
http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate/overview/Lulu,
Captivate does indeed restrict where you can place the menu
(Top Left, Top Center, or Top Right). Perhaps someone else has
figured a way around this, but I am afraid I have no options to
offer.
As for the menus you are seeing on the presentation for the
Captivate Overview, this bit of magic is done using Adobe Presenter
and not Captivate itself. Adobe Presenter is a tool geared
specifically for turning PowerPoint presentations into something
much more. The info on Presenter can be found at:

Dynamically updating a value based on drop down menus
Hi,
I am trying to make a website for a new computer company.
Part of the website allows you to choose different componets, like
the Dell website. It has different drop downs like CPU, Case,
motherboard etc which list the option we have chosen then it gets
all of the records from each database. So for CPU it checks to see
what motherboard is selected and displays all of the CPUs that are
compatible with that bpard from the CPU data base.
It has the price at the bottom of the page which is
calculated by adding all the prices of the drop down menus together
but if I change an option it doesn't change the price.
How can I have the price dynamically change based on
different values being selected from the drop down boxes?
Thanks for any help
LewisYou'd do some kind of onChange with the select. Get the value
of the current index in the select and pass that over to whatever
needs it.
Using a JavaScript framework may be best and easiest - like
jQuery. It allows you to do stuff like this quite easily. Though
I'm no expert either - just getting into it.
Are these chained selects then? I also think there's a CF
only version / custom tag out there for this - but it would require
a page refresh everytime the list is changed.
You could also use AJAX I guess.
Cheers,
Mikey.
