Drop down boxes like the ones used for dates don't work and hav'nt work for quite a while. What's going on?

Drop down boxes have not worked for the last few revisions of
Firefox. I've tried eliminating all add ons etc. bit to no avail. It does
not seem like this should be such a big problem to fix, since these
objects used to work fine in the past. I really like Firefox otherwise
and would hate to have to resort to another browser. The drop down box shown below does not work either, but that may be due to lack of content.

Yes, I've disabled everything. Even changed Windows 7 Themes, but no luck.
After sending this reply, it occurred to me that Actual Window Guard might be
the problem. When I excluded the Firefox window from Actual Window Guard
control the drop down boxes worked. Wish I would have thought of it sooner. Thanks to everyone who made suggestions and tried to help. I really do appreciate your time and effort.

I want to build a drop down menu like the one featured here

Hi there, I am wanting to build a drop down menu exactly like the one on this site (see college information button, top right)
http://www.barnsley.ac.uk/index.php
I have a lot of content, and really like the idea of hiding behind a button at the top, and when the user clicks on it it opens up and pushes the rest of the page down!
Anyone know how?

jQuery isn't a program as much as a collection of tools and effects built in JavaScript, a "framework".
Here's a tutorial that will help you build what you're looking for:

Creating cascading drop down boxes in SharePoint 2010 using one list

We have a support request form tied to a list that end users input data into which when submitted sends out an email.
Is it possible to create a drop down box on the form that limits the choices in the "subcategory" column, based on what is chosen in the "category" column.
For instance in the category column we have SharePoint, Oracle, and Web Tools as choices.
In the subcategory column we have items related to each category. We only want items that are related to the selected choice to appear in the subcategory drop down box.
I see examples in InfoPath using "Multiple Lists" (one list for city, one for state, etc), but nothing using the same list. I would rather not use multiple lists if possible.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, you want to create a cascading drop-down list box using one list.
To achieve what you want, we can:
Create two fields(category and subcategory) in drop-down list box type in the form in InfoPath.
Add the list which contains the values of the category and subcategory columns to the form as an external data.
Right click the category field, click Drop-Down List Box Properties, and choose Get choices from an external data source.
Choose the list added in step2 in Data source, click XPath behind Entries, click the category column in the list, select Show only entries with unique display names.
Right click the subcategory field, click Drop-Down List Box Properties, and choose Get choices from an external data source.
Choose the list added in step2 in Data source, click XPath behind Entries, click the subcategory column in the list, then click Filter Data.
Click Add, select the category column in the list in the first box, select is equal to in the second box, choose select a field or group in the third box, then choose Main in the Fields and select the category field in the form.
Click OK.
Best regards.
Thanks

I was trying to make a purchase from Amazon & a return but FIREFOX would not let me open drop down boxes in the purchase & return areas. I was forced to use IE to accomplish the deed. Can you investigate the problem?

Thanks for the welcome Karsten! I’ve checked the installer disks – which appear to have all the main pieces of software, but not iDVD. If you or anyone knows where it might be hidden that would be great. Thanks for all the other info too!
Thanks Lennart – I don’t think my computer could support iLife ’05 as it is running Mac OSX 10.3.2 and I’ve just been looking at its system requirements which state it requires 10.3.4 minimum – if you know differently, please let me know. As an alternative I have considered getting iLife ’04, but your comment about iLife ’05 being the first version to support external drives worried me (“iDVD 5 is the first iDVD version that officially supports external burners“ does this mean there is an unofficial option for iLife ‘04? Perhaps a patch similar to the one mentioned by Karsten), does that mean iLife ’04 would not support an external Lacie DVD writer?
What is the earliest version of Toast I’d be able to use (as a money saving option!)?
Thank you both, and apoligies for my amateurish questions…
Kevin.

I know I did not access a website any time recently, but it shows up in my drop down box in the address line, why?

The drop down box on my address bar shows a website I know I have not gone to recently. Most recent access on this website was probably about 1 year ago. My settings for clearing browser history are set for 20 days, though! (I think, I'm not very literate at this stuff) Why did this happen? It is very important for me to have an explanation for how this could have happened.

Maybe a addon? Have you tried safe mode to see if its a addon, test if those suggestions come in safe mode, see the article below.

How can i create a Laptop like the ones use in SAP TecEd?

How can i create a Laptop like the ones use in SAP TecEd hands on labs? with all the NW products install on it.

Hi,
Vague question, but to create a laptop with the solution installed - you need to order the solution and and then install it on the laptop. Or download trial versions from SCN and install those as well.

I am watching a Creative Live Lightroom Crash Course with Jared Platt and Matt Kloskowski. They mentioned that Lightroom CC was available. I went to the Adobe site and clicked on it, but the download was for Lightroom 6. What is going on? I wanted Lightroom CC.

Yes, it looks like they've screwed up. Some people have been able to update CC to LR6, some people get half way through the download and it fails, some people (me included don't get any option to upgrade to LR6 in the CC app... It's all very annoying. I tried the help chat, and I got "log out of the CC and try again in 2-3 hours". Well, that was half an hour ago, but I'm not holding my breath for getting LR6 today.

Firefox 3 used to have a drop down list under the back button for recent pages. How do I get this in FF4?

FF3 used to have a drop down list of the most recent pages that a tab had displayed under the back arrow button. FF4 does not appear to have this. How can I see history of what's been displayed in the tab say four or five pages back?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

Why form is creating a "memory" drop-down box in the PDF Form

I have created a form for someone using Adobe Acrobat CS4. While this doesn't happen when I use it on my computer, or even my work computer, apparently one of the end users, as they enter data into the form, it remembers previous information she had entered and gives her like a "memory" drop down box. She doesn't want that. How can I format it so it doesn't do that? Thank you.

Drop down menu to populate fields used for testing

Hello,
I have asked a few questions on here and everyone is very helpful thank you
My current question is related to drop down menus.
What I want to do is have the end user be able to select the testing item from a drop down menu and all of the values associated with testing that item.
The associated values will need to be used in the testing function so the test can run properly.
Things such as offsets, loads, and other values are what I am talking about.
To clarify...
have a drop down menu where you can select which item you are testing, and once selected have the associated parameters populate and be used during the test.
After searcing the forums for a few hours I was un able to find any other question or example similar enough to what I am trying to accomplish
Thank you!

How do I turn-off that annoying drop-down box with the gold key that asks me if I want Firefox to save the password?

You know what drop-down box I'm talking about. When I sign-in to an existing account, that box drops down, covering links I want to click on, asking me AGAIN if I want to save the password for 'this' [whatever site I'm on] site. NO, I DON'T! If I wanted to save the darn password, I would have clicked 'yes' about 1,000 sign-ins ago! Stop already with the asking me.! This 'gold key' feature just doesn't get it. It is a huge nusiance. Why isn't there a box to click that says "DON'T ASK ME AGAIN"?
