Drop down lists are incomplete on various websites

I'm coming across websites where the drop down lists (eg for what state you live in) are incomplete. It works fine in every other browser I've tried.
Here's an easy page to test the problem on: https://www.bankofamerica.com/
The problem occurs on Bank of America's main page, in the upper left where you select a location it only lists about half the states and there's no scroll bar.
Problem also occurs in safe mode.
Clunky and counter-intuitive workaround is to use down arrow key to navigate to other state names.
Basically, I'm using Safari for more and more sites.

At least you have a workaround in that the arrow key works.
Quick check 
Before looking for deeper problems let's not overlook the obvious common solution cookies or cache.
*Reload using (Mac equivalent of Cmd+f5) Ctrl+ Shift+R. If that does not help Close all tabs except a final one relating to the problem site and:
*# Clear the Firefox cache [[How to clear the Firefox cache]]
*# and the site cookies [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer#w_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site]]'''_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site'''
*# then try again with the problem site.
As you see the problem on multiple sites I doubt the above will help, but you would regret it if if it does and you failed to try it. It could also help other readers of this thread.
Anyone else seeing this ? 
This is likely to need help from other Mac users to discover what it affects. There have been reported problems with scrolling but that usually seems to relate to touch-screens &/or scrolling of Windows not the dropdown lists.
* as in this mailing list discussion http://productforums.google.com/forum/?_escaped_fragment_=topic/chrome/FjjdquTVNBE#!topic/chrome/FjjdquTVNBE
* See for instance this recent answer by ''Alice'' although again problems seem mainly to be gestures etc. problems [/questions/979427#answer-508330] & ''this older thread posted on Apple's forum, in case it helps:'' https://discussions.apple.com/message/23541760#23541760 Mavericks and Firefox scrolling
It seems possible that the problem will be with your particular install, because, otherwise there would be noticeable reporting of problems. Half of Mac users of Bank Of America for instance would likely have internet banking services fail.
You have already discovered it may be Firefox & OS X version dependent, although of course it could be other factors that differ in the other machines. Try to compare the setups for any other differences and clues.
Please Try 
Whilst waiting to see if others chime in may '''I suggest a couple of things you could try''' that may help narrow this down.
# Testing using an additional new clean profile with all plugins disabled [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles#w_5-reinstall-firefox]]_5-reinstall-firefox. (I did note you have tried safemode already)
# Installing and running Firefox 24 ESR as an additional browser as a test. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/ http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions#Installing_multiple_versions (ESR is not intended for use by private individuals, but is secure. It is an older fully developed and tested Firefox version)

Drop down lists are active in PDF when received by email

Hello,
I have a form with drop down lists and the form is set so that when the user submits it, the PDF form is sent, not the XML file. The problem is that when I receive the PDF form, the drop down lists are active and I can change the items in the list. Is there a way to disable this so that when the PDF form is received no changes to the form can be made?
Thank you.

I think you need to have a flag in a hidden field that indicates that the form has been submitted. You could set that flag on the form's pre-submit event. On the form's initialize event, check the flag. If it's been set (i.e. the form has been submitted before), programatically lock down the form. Here's a tidy little (untested) recursive function that locks down the form: lockDown(xfa.form.nodes); function lockDown(oNodes) { for (var i=0; i<oNodes.length; i++) { if (oNodes.item(i).className == "subform") lockDown(oNodes.item(i).nodes); else oNodes.item(i).access = "readOnly"; } } Jared Langdon http://www.jlangdon.ca

How do I get my drop down lists in alphabetical order?

Got a new computer and installed Firefox 3.6.10. I moved over my bookmarks, etc. from the old computer. However, all of my drop-down lists are not in alphabetical order any more. And if I use one of the entries, it will sometimes move to a different order than it had been when I clicked on it. How do I get them back in alphabetical order?

The entries for form field are in current Firefox version is the order that you add them and not ordered alphabetically. 
Maybe an extension like Autofill Forms can sort them.
I'm not using it, so you need to check that yourself.

Master detail form - drop down list in detail (ADF)

Hi,
Been racking our brains for a few days/weeks about this one, and would be grateful for any pointers why this does not work.
We have developed an in-house application for dealing with risk and chemical assessments.
The process we have adopted allows users to create an assessment first then they are taken to another form where they are then able to add risk factors/ or chemicals relating to the assessment. The intention is to present the user with the ability to select from a drop down list which contains the chemical names.
We have been going through the forums and have tried all the examples we can find (all the examples work on our system), but when we try to adapt them to our approach they create an error indicating that they cannot find the values in the entity object.
Has anyone else come across the same problem or is it that the ADF is not suited to dealing with the master/detail approach and drop down menus.
The drop down lists are in an ADF table.
Thanks in advance
Andrew

Hi Kuba,
Thanks for the pointer, I think we tried that one early on. For the time being we have opted for using a selectInputText box, and that appears to be working. Well at least it has got us past the deadline for yesterday, now onto the next deadline.
Thanks again!

Drop down list in Adobe forms

Hi All,
I need to provide a drop down list in the Adobe form. I am calling this form from an SE38 program. I have selected the 'Value Help drop down list' element. How do i pass the value or bind the values to this element. The values for the drop down list are selected from a standard table at runtime.
I tried using Enumerated drop down list also but did not work.
Any idea????
Thanks,
Prakash Pandey

Hi ,
Thanks for posting this, saved me a lot of hassles trying to program something. One question. My values are in a nested table. e.g. I have a table with criteria for an appraisal. The criteria have a dropdown on them with a ratings. So, one appraisal, many citeria, many possible rating values. When I put in your code, e.g. $record.APPRAISAL.CRITERIA.DATA[].RATINGS.DATA[] , I get all Ratings relevant to all criteria on each line for the criteria table, not just for the criterion they belong to. How do I specify that it should only pick up the ratings for the current criterion ?
Hope my explanation makes sense
Thanks !

Missing Export and Use Drop Down Lists

I cannot export my .mov files to any format other than .mov as the Export and Use drop down lists are missing. When I go to File > Export the text for Export and Use are there followed by blank gray space as if the drop down lists never existed.
I just upgraded to Pro today and had infrequently used QuickTime Player previously. I have the most current version 7.6.5. The other functions appear to be working normally, but I am not a "familiar user" so I can't say for sure.
Any ideas?

Well I could not copy & paste the text from the Movie Inspector, so I have typed it below (except for the complete source info).
Source: C:\....Filename.MOV

I have also downloaded a couple of iPod hip-hop ad movies (.mov) and they have the same problem (no export drop-down lists), so I don't believe it is the movie format.
I have not tried to uninstall/reinstall QuickTime Pro yet, but wonder if I should....

Remittance Rules Details - Payment Method Drop Down List

In reviewing Remittance Rule details for an HR payee, when I go to Payment method and click the drop down list are any of the listed payment methods SAP standard delivered?
I know Payment Method is configured under Financial accounting. Is there a way to tell which of the options in the drop down list is standard delivered as opposed to customized?
Thanks,

Hello,
Go to T-code FBZP and click on Payment methods in company code.
Then go to company code US01 and there you can see the standard delivered payment methods for USA.
Any payment methods other than standard assigned to your company code are customized.

Is it possible to create interactive drop down lists that reference tables on separate pages of the PDF?

I am looking to create a user input PDF in which drop down lists are utilized to search tables, however, I am not very familiar with the options that are available or if this is even possible? Also, is it possible to write a background code that could read user inputted text to run a search or even solve some equation? Can someone let me know if these items are possible and/or let me know what adobe program may be necessary to accomplish these tasks? Thanks!

PDFs have no concept of "tables" like MS Word or MS Excel has. There is content that looks like a table.
Acrobat JavaScript does know about arrays and form fields. So one could have an array in JavaScript and fill in a series of fields that looks like a table. One can then use JavaScript to search the table.
JavaScript in Acrobat can accept user input in fields and pop-up windows.
It is possible to solve user imputed equations if the proper notation or coding is used.

Photoshop Elements, All drop down lists locked

After downloading PSE11 and starting the trial version, all drop down lists are greyed out and locked....File, Edit, Windows, Layers, etc...all lists have the text in grey and are not available for use...I am not able to do or save anything.
Please help....and yes, I have tried opening an image and editing it...and still the same problem.
Trial versions are supposed to be fully functional...and yet nothing is functioning...PLEASE HELP!

Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. After a few seconds release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Alternatively hold down the three keys whilst clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys for a few seconds; then release. You should get the settings option.
When you see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

My area is not on the drop-down list?

just applied for skype number but my area is not on the drop-down list can't get any further until I choose something from the list, what do I do, just pick the nearest area?
Post transferred to create its own new thread (topic);
subject/title edited accordingly.

Hi, ladyfromllan, and welcome to the Community,
Yes, you are correct: you would need to choose a Skype Number nearest where you ultimately wished to have your Skype Number located. Ultimately, the number would be best situated so that those who call it the most would not incur toll charges; however, that said, Skype Numbers are not available absolutely everywhere for several legitimate reasons.

Elaine

Favorites exported from Internet Explorer are not available in Bookmarks drop down list as they should.

Favorites exported from Internet Explorer are not available in Bookmarks drop down list as they should. Where can I find them?

You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).
If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export 
Import the HTML file in Firefox 3: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File
