Drop down image problem

I am designing my web page with Dreamweaver. I'm on a Mac and
using Safari as my primary browser. However, when I check a drop
down menu for a series of buttons, I get a duplicate "ghost" image
of the menu when I check with Foxfire. It is in a positioned aside
from the designated position.
The design was originally created in Fireworks and the html
pasted into Dreamweaver. I then made adjustments to the position in
the behavior palette.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a remedy?
thank you

Resolution is not the critical issue. Browser viewport width
is. To make
your decision you need to have some ideas about the following
issues -
1. What is the primary target demographic for this site?
2. What are the browsing habits of that demographic? Do they
normally have
their browser window maximized on the screen?
3. If they usually have their browser maximized, what is the
typical screen
width?
4. If they usually do NOT have their browser maximized, what
is the MINIMUM
screen width in that demographic.
5. How do I want to build the page?
a. Fixed width and left aligned?
b. Fixed width and centering?
c. Flexible to fill whatever width from left to right?
d. Flexible (within limits) and left aligned?
e. Flexible (within limits) and centering?
As you can see, this decision is probably much more complex
than you
thought, and will require that you know quite a bit about
your intended
target visitor and their browsing habits.
If you elect to go with 5a, or 5b, then your decision would
be - 'what is
the mimimum browser width I want to support without
horizontal scrolling?'.
Once you have determined that minimum supported width, all of
your decisions
are made. That's how wide you want your page to be.
If you elect to go with 5c, then you just build your page
within a flexible
container (the simplest example - although an obsolet one -
would be to use
a 100% width table to hold the entire page). Be aware that
pages with
limited text content can look VERY sparse and empty on wide
viewports when
built in this way.
If you elect to go with 5d, or 5e, then you would add this
sophistication to
your decision matrix -
'what is the greatest width I want to allow the page and its
contents to
become?'
In this case, you would use the CSS styles - 'min-width' and
'max-width' on
the primary page container. Just so you'll know, although
these styles are
well supported *now*, earlier versions of IE (and some other
browsers) will
not support them so reliably.
So - which is it? 8)

DW Pop-Up / Drop-Down Menu Problems

Hi. I am new to this forum and I am not a pro web designer
(but am proficient with web / graphic design software), so bear
with me...
I am using Dreamweaver MX and Fireworks MX (not the 2004
versions) to re-design a new website for my photography biz (I am,
of course, using PhotoShop for some graphics/images too).
I want to use a horizontal navigation bar (with 9 buttons)
and drop-down menus on the new site.
My first attempt was to design the nav bar in FW and export
it into DW (preferably into a Template). The nav bar design (w/
drop-down menus) in FW was simple. Exporting was also simple.
However, I experienced major problems when inserting the "piece"
into a FW document (I use "tables" and not "frames"; no CSS nor
Flash).
Once the nav bar is inserted into a DW table, it doesn't work
in the Browser (latest version of Safari; I use a Mac PowerBook).
Some times, it did work, but most others, it did not. FRUSTRATING.
I then decided to simply design the nav bar "buttons" in FW
(with simple roll-over to change text color / size on each button)
and realized that DW can also do Drop-Down / Pop-Up menus. This was
successful at first, but now when I try to insert numerous buttons
into a DW document (multi-row and column table), I get the same
result in that the d-d menus do not work when viewing in the
browser (but the roll-over text effect does work). STILL
FRUSTRATING.
I have also tried to save the nav bar / buttons as Library
Items, but to no avail. This is rather important should I decide to
one day change the navigation on the site (it will have over 25
pages to start with).
I have been on the Adobe site and have read numerous tech
reports to try and solve this. I have also come across a few notes
on this forum, so decided to give it a shot. Quite simply:
1. Am I wasting my time using an older version of DW and FW
(even though I have no interest in using fancy Flash stuff and have
no interest in being a pro web designer; I do want to do my own
site and maintain it though...). Should I upgrade to Version 8 of
the suite?
2. I see that some third-party software is available to do
Drop-Down menus. Should I take this route? Will these extensions
work in the older version of DW?
3. My nav bar will be relatively simple, both in appearance
and functionality. So, I do not need any extravagant type of
software. Can anyone recommend something for me?
4. The following link is the only attempt that I had at
getting the nav bar to operate both locally on my browser and
uploaded on to my host server. I am not 100% happy with the
appearance, but when I went to change it, I had the same problems
detailed above (i.e., it didn't work). This example was done with
FW into DW. It was simply a test (to see if uploading the page on
to the server would get the drop-downs to work), so none of the
links have been inserted into the menu selection tabs.

Thanks for your help. Sorry about the long message, but I
wanted to include enough detail such that you wouldn't have to come
back to me for numerous questions...

Depending on your expertise level, DMX may be all you you
need. But where
you are wasting your time is by fiddling with these awful
pop-up menus.
Those who understand them left them behind when they were
first introduced.

Yes, and yes, and don't think twice about doing it! Use the
PVII methods or
commercial products. They are what you need.

If really simple, check even the MiniMenus from

Spry region drop-down list problems in IE

Can someone please help me determine the reason that IE does not display the correct item in a spry region drop-down list when first opening the site. You can see the problem at http://www.minursemap.org/agedistnurse.html. The initial item in the drop-down list should be Alcona with the corresponding graphic displayed in the detail region. In Firefox, this works correctly. When first opening the page in IE, the graphic is Alcona, but the drop-down list displays Wexford (the last item in the list). From then on, all of the links work correctly.
The code for the two regions is below. Thanks in advance for assisting someone new to spry.
<div id="ctyname">
     <div spry:region="dsChartNurse">
       <select name="name" spry:repeatchildren="dsChartNurse" onchange="dsChartNurse.setCurrentRow(this.value)">
         <option value="{ds_RowID}">{name}</option>
       </select>
</div> 
</div>
<div id="image">
   <div spry:detailregion="dsChartNurse">
        <div align="center" style="padding-bottom:15px"><img src="{dataimage}" width="405" height="202" />
        </div>
   </div>
</div>

Try the following code to replace yours:
       <select name="name" spry:repeatchildren="dsChartNurse" onchange="dsChartNurse.setCurrentRow(this.value)">
         <option spry:if="{dsChartNurse::ds_RowID}=={dsChartNurse::ds_CurrentRowID}" spry:selected="selected" value="{ds_RowID}">{name}</option>
         <option spry:if="{dsChartNurse::ds_RowID}!={dsChartNurse::ds_CurrentRowID}" value="{ds_RowID}">{name}</option>
       </select>
I hope this helps.

Drop down menu problem IE7

I have a small problem, don't know if you can help at all. I have have upgraded to the latest version of spry and created my spry menu in Dreamweaver CS3. It works great in firefox, but in IE7 the drop down menu jumps up to the top of the browser window, instead of below the menu bar.
When I check using the browser compatibility function in CS3, I get a message "Expanding Box Problem" with the following lines of code highlighted:
<ul>
          <li><a href="testimonials extra.html">Extra</a></li>
          <li><a href="testimonials defender.html">Defender II</a></li>
        </ul>
Here is link to the site, so you can take a look

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated ?

Drop down Lists problem

Hi
I have two drop down lists.
One called P2_PRODUCT_GROUP which has a LOV.
Also another called P2_PRODUCTS which has another LOV.
I want P2_PRODUCTS to be filtered based on the selection I make in P2_PRODUCT_GROUP.
I've used the following SQL statement for the P2_PRODUCTS LOV:
select PRODUCT d, ID r
from PRODUCT
where ID = :P2_PRODUCT_GROUP
When I run the page, it doesnt display anything in the P2_PRODUCTS drop down list at all, even after I select a PRODUCT in P2_PRODUCTS nothing shows in P2_PRODUCT_GROUP.
What am I doing wrong?
Regards
Adam

Hi Adam,
that's the classical cascading lov problem. It's not necessary to do a page submit roundtrip, you can use AJAX instead.
Have a look at Carl Backstrom's AJAX example at http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:37 or have a look at my generic cascading lov which is part of the ApexLib Framework http://inside-apex.blogspot.com/2006/11/generic-solution-for-depending-select.html
BTW, my solution also can handle a popup lov as a master.

Drop-down binding problem

I have a drop-down list that I have populated. When an item is chosen from the drop-down list it automatically shows the code for that item in another field. I have put these codes in in the Binding section. The problem I'm having is that if a person chooses an item from the drop-down list and then change their mind, the code from the original item stays in the field as well as the new item code.
Is there any way that the field can automatically change to the new item code?
Thanks.

Hi,
In the change event of the drop down you can use code similar to;
TextField1.rawValue = this.boundItem(xfa.event.change);
Where TextField1 will be your field that needs to be keep in sync.
Here's an example that might help, https://acrobat.com/#d=p*6x4WA4w8NDDlMvq*aspg

Serial resourse name drop down menu problem in built versions of software.

Hi,
I have developed Labview programs to test new PCBs as they come off the production line, by stimulating the PCBs via RS232 serial. These programs work well on my development PC, and have been built as appilcations with installer ready to be transferred to the test PC, so our production department can use them. The problem is that when I install the built applications onto the production PC, the serial resource name selection drop down menu is grayed out and disabled. This stops anyone from being able to select the correct serial port.
I am using Labview 6.1, Windows XP.

Wardo.

My first guess is that you have not installed VISA on the target machine.
See the link below: -

My second is that there is no serial port.

Fireworks drop down menu problem in explorer 7 help

I created a fireworks drop down menu for my website which
usually shows the 'up' label, in this case January, February etc
once activated, but now this only shows when the mouse moves over
it and then the 'down' state shows correctly. Has anyone
experienced this problem and if so can you offer a solution? The
drop down is at
http://www.laserbattlefield.co.uk/index.html
and its the photo gallery label which has the drop down.
Thanks.

Debbie
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
when I attempt to use these programs, and I choose a drop down menu from the top title bar, a lot of the options on the menus are in gray, and they do not work. Does this mean the only give you the preview of the program?
No Debbie you have the full version. However, if these options and commands are not available (are gray) then it means that the objects the operate on are not selected. So, in iPhoto for instance, under the File menu, I cannot ‘Edit a Smart Album’ unless I have selected a Smart Album first. I cannot create an Event unless I have selected a photo to make that Event with, and so on.

CSS Drop Down Menu Problem (only in IE)

Hi Folks,
I have just added a new drop down menu and it seems to work perfectly in every other browser except IE.
In IE the cursor makes the next menu item along drop down and not the one that's hovered over.
I have removed the jquery script and the same problem occurs, so I reckon it must be a CSS problem. Here's the CSS code in case anyone has any ideas what the problem is.
Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated cos I can't figure it out .
Cheers
Dave

I think that is fine but it did get converted to a smiley face you are right. This is how it looks
#topmenu #nav, #nav ul{
font-size:10.5px;
font-weight:bold;
margin:0;
list-style-type:none;
list-style-position:outside;
position:relative;
line-height:35px;
background-color:#006699;
width:100%;
text-align:left;
it's all on a local set up right non but I will try to pop it up and post a link.
The symptoms are easy to describe though. When you hover over a top level menu item, the list drops down under the link directly to the right.The positioning isn't random, it is exactly in line, just under the wrong heading.
In every other browser it seems to be fine.

IE drop down menu problems

I am currently redesigning a website for the company I work
in-house for and am having IE problems.
The site includes both a Accordion Spry and a Spry menu.
Which look and function as they should in all other browsers except
IE (but of coarse). What happens is when the site is viewed in IE
the drop down links have space between them and a gray border
around the drop down. Also for some strange reason the word "false"
apaers in the background of the drop down.
Which I can only conclude is from the imported style sheet,
but I have no idea why. I have tried removing the spry menu and
create the menu in css but still no luck.
If any one can help it will be appreciated.
Thank you
The test site is at:
http://www.leaf-financial.com/newsite/index.html

Hello,
The problem for the false is a known bug we have for the Spry
Menu in a solution for another IE bug. You'll have to go in your
CSS and look for this class "ul.MenuBarVertical iframe". Inside you
should add the following line:
filter:alpha(opacity:0.1);
and that element behind the menu will disappear. I am not yet
sure why you have the other problem with the menu spacing but I
will try to investigate later.

[JS][CS3] Drop down menu problem

Hi
I am trying to use a drop down menu inone of my dialogs. The emnu is showing, but i cannot select it.
myDialog = new Window ('dialog', 'Name',[50,50,350,370]);
myDialog.frameLocation = [300,200];
var myListItems = ["One","Two","Three"];
var myList = myDialog.add('dropdownlist',undefined,myListItems);
myList.selection = 1;
myList.bounds = [20,200,100,20];
myDialog.show();
Any ideas where I cam going wrong?
It seems to be when I am entering the bounds of the list, but I do need to place this list carefully.

Thanks for the plug...
I was really trying hard not to advertise, but rather to advocate the correct way to use ScriptUI.
However once it was brought up let me just say a word. Most apps that automatically create dialogs will use co-ordinates and bounds, overriding the default layout manager. In that Rapid ScriptUI is different, since it shows you how to manipulate position of elements without using layout manager.
The $2 script, while still existing, is a really old version of the library, however the professional version is extremely capable and outputs code which is really easy to understand and edit if necessary.
I did not realize that some countries don't allow paypal. But if its an issue, contact me via prvt or contact page on scriptui.com and we could try to work something out.
