Drop Down Menu Behavior

Hi there. I am a relatively new Mac User and loving the OS X experience. I am on Mavericks and there is just one thing I find annoying: when I ctrl-click and unfold a drop down menu, if by mistake I don't click on a valid option the drop down menu just disappears; is there a way for this not to happen? I mean, let's say I mis-click, is there a way to keep the drop down menu open so I don't have to summon it again to make my choice?

I don't know of any way of make a 'context menu' stick around for longer after clicking off a menu.
If you are having issues with the mouse or trackpad accuracy you could consider changing the sensitivity in the relevant section of System Preferences.
It is possible to select items within menus using the keyboard, so after you right click move your hand off the mouse & try the cursor (arrow) keys, you should be able to move through the options & then press return to open that menu item. esc should close it too.

  • How do I insert a drop down menu bar?

    Hi, I'm designing my 1st website and I started it in  photoshop cs5.5. I imported my site into Dreamweaver cs5.5 and uploaded it to my server.

  • How do I get a drop-down menu to choose SMTP when composing an email in Apple Mail?

    Apple Mail used to have a drop-down menu in the Composing Mail window to select the SMTP server to use.  It is no longer there, in Yosemite (10.10.1).  How do I get that back?

    I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. That's exactly what DW offers validation behaviors or Spry Validation for. Select the form element(s) required to validate, apply the behavior, set the options in the dialog. Done.

  • How do I add "Save As" to the Pages drop down menu?

    How do I add "Save As" to the Pages drop down menu?

    It took me awhile but I found what I was looking for. This is posted at http://www.tuaw.com/2012/07/29/get-save-as-back-on-mountain-lions-file-menu-easi ly-and-without/
    Option 1. Terminal.app If you are comfortable using Terminal.app, you can add a different keyboard shortcut this with one simple line. First, quit all your apps except Finder and Terminal. Then paste this command (as one line) into Terminal.app (and press Return):
    1
    defaults write -globalDomain NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add 'Save As...' '@$S' 
    view rawdwrite-global-saveas.sh hosted with ❤ by GitHub
    That's it!
    Launch TextEdit and open the 'File' menu and you should see "Save As..." back in its rightful spot with its original Command + Shift + S shortcut, as shown in the image above.
    Aside: After you enter the 'defaults write' command, you will not see any confirmation that it was entered correctly. Terminal.app is a little terse sometimes. If you want to verify it from the command-line, enter this:
    defaults read -globalDomain NSUserKeyEquivalents
    and look for "Save As..." = "@$s"; in the output.
    Option 2. System Preferences.app If you would rather not use Terminal, it's still very easy to add the keyboard shortcut.
    Launch the System Preferences.app, then open the "Keyboard" preference pane.
    At the top you will see "Keyboard" and "Keyboard Shortcuts" – click "Keyboard Shortcuts" (labeled '1' below). Then in the list on the left side, click "Application Shortcuts" (labeled '2' below). Then click the "+" button (labeled '3' below):
    Once you press that "+" button, a small window will appear asking you to enter the title of the menu item and the keyboard shortcut that you want to use.
    Enter "Save As..." in the "Menu Title:" field, and then press the keyboard shortcut that you want to use. In the example below I pressed Command + Shift + S:
    Note: It used to be true that you had to enter an actual ellipsis (which you can get by pressing Option+ ; on a US-English keyboard). However, when I tested this in Mac OS X 10.8.2, it worked with three consecutive periods.
    Bonus Tip: Hide the "Duplicate" menu item.
    In my original article I suggested that you also enter a keyboard shortcut for "Duplicate" and while youcan do that if you wish, you do not need to do that.
    However, if you would like to hide the Duplicate menu item, you can do that. There are two steps: first, remap "Save As..." to Command + Shift + S (as shown above). Then the 'trick' is to remap "Duplicate" to Command + Shift + Option + S.
    What you will have done is swap the keyboard shortcuts for "Duplicate" and "Save As..." which means that OS X will make "Duplicate" the optional command. If you open the "File" menu and hold down "Option" the "Save As..." command will change to "Duplicate"
    (Thanks to TUAW reader 'rbascuas' for pointing this out in response to the original article!)
    Important Addendum: "Keep changes in original document"
    As we reported in August 2012, the "Save As..." command in early versions of 10.8 had an unexpected and likely unwanted side effect in Mountain Lion: it would save the changes in the new document (created by "Save As...") but would also save the changes to the original document.
    However, Apple realized that users might not want that behavior, so in Mac OS X 10.8.2 they added an option "Keep changes in original document" which you can see here:
    Option A: If you want to save the changes you've made in the document and then save the document with a different name, then make sure that the box is checked.
    Option B: If you want your original document to stay as it was when you last saved it and create a new document based on the modified content of that document, then make sure that box is not checked.
    If you do not see the 'Keep changes in original document' box, then the application is probablygoing to give you the "Option B" behavior, but if you are not sure, I would suggest choosing Cancel in the "Save" dialog, then copy and paste the contents of the document into a new file, and save the new file. I know that's several extra-and-less-convenient steps, but if you are worried about preserving the original document, better safe than sorry.
    You could also save the file, duplicate it in Finder, and rename the new instance. Open old file and revert to previous save using 'Versions'.
    Frankly,I wish that Apple had just left the "Save As..." command alone, but for some reason they didn't ask my opinion. That said, I'm glad that they brought it back in Mountain Lion. I would have paid $20 for that feature alone.
    Note: This article was re-written and republished on 2013–02–21. The original process still works, but I wanted to update it to reflect some additional information.

  • Mouse hover drop down menu not shown

    recently (about few months ago), i found the profile drop down menu on www.zhihu.com no longer works. i also noticed that other mouse over funtions are disabled too.
    oddly, the problem only seems to appear on firefox on my laptop.
    other browsers on this computer(ie, chrome) or firefox on my other desktop computer works completely fine. so i don't think it's a website-related issue.
    methods tried but didn't help:
    turning off hardware accelaeration.
    clear cookies.
    safe mode.
    reset firefox.
    migrating profiles and firefox program files from desktop computer to laptop.
    completely reinstall firefox.
    any idea?
    and sorry for my poor english expression, it is a second language and i'm not very good at it :-)

    This could be related to your new hardware.
    In order to be "mobile friendly" some websites may change menu behavior for devices with a touchscreen.
    Does your laptop have a touchscreen?
    To disable Firefox from telling websites that you have a touchscreen, you can make a change to a hidden setting.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''touch''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled''' preference and change the value to 0 (that's a zero) and click OK. Here are the options for this setting:
    * 0 = disabled
    * 1 = enabled
    * 2 = auto-detect (default)
    To see whether the site behaves differently, you may need to clear cache and cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does hover work normally again?
    A user with an HP all-in-one was not successful with a setting change, and reported that the only way he found to end the problem was to turn off the touch capability in the Windows Device Manager ([https://support.mozilla.org/questions/971084?page=2#answer-522974 post 522974]). I hope that is not necessary in your case.

  • Airport drop-down menu greyed out

    On my MacBook, the drop-down menu that appears when the Airport menu bar icon is clicked has greyed out. Although the MacBook joins my primary network just fine, I cannot choose my secondary network (second base station), even though it is listed. All action choices like "join other network", etc. are also greyed out and cannot be chosen.
    I've rebooted, cycled Airport on/off/on, checked settings in Sys Prefs -> Network, etc. I've checked the Airport Extreme Base configuration using Airport Admin utility. This is a new problem, no known changes to system or applications other than installing Apple software updates as issued with a 2 week delay in case there's an update problem.
    My Mini shows the drop-down Airport menu normally, and I can choose/join both my primary and secondary networks. Same software status as the MacBook - no new apps, all Apple updates after 2 week delay.
    Any ideas for how to get my MacBook to un-grey the Airport menu items? Thanks!

    Closing this question out, the MacBook reverted to normal behavior sometime since I posted the problem and this post. No clue why.

  • Nav bars rollover stops working when there is a drop down menu

    I am making a navigation bar bar that has about 5 links on it
    all with rollovers. Their is one rollover that uses a drop down
    menu. That rollover doesn't give me a rollover just a drop down. I
    want to have both happen.
    Also does anyone know how to keep the rollover in the down
    state? I want to make it easy for the user to know where they are
    in the site by just glancing at the nav bar.

    Add a swap image behavior to the button you want to rollover.

  • Display normal text instead of drop down menu

    I have two tables. One is the customer particular, which has RaceID(int) as one of the field. The other
    table is Race, which has RaceID(int) and Race(char). Both of these tables are linked together.
    I have the following code generated from Ultradev when I am using Dynamic Elements Server Behavior.
    I will gonna do a search page, which list the value of Race of customer in normal text for each staff,
    not the drop down menu(but during insert page, I am using drop down menu to enter the data). How to
    do that?
    Codes:(This code will generate a drop down menu which compare the value in the customer particular and
    the race tables. If selected, display that one with the drop down menu.
    <select name="race">
    <%
    while (Race_hasData) {
    %>
    <option value="<%=((Race.getObject("raceID")!=null)?Race.getObject("raceID"):"")%>" <%=(((Race.getObject("raceID")).toString().equals(((((Matching_data
    = Matching.getObject("raceID"))==null || Matching.wasNull())?"":Matching_data)).toString()))?"SELECTED":"")%>
    <%=((Race.getObject("race")!=null)?Race.getObject("race"):"")%></option><%
    Race_hasData = Race.next();
    Race.close();
    Race = StatementRace.executeQuery();
    Race_hasData = Race.next();
    Race_isEmpty = !Race_hasData;
    %>
    </select>

    don't use <select>, use <input type = "text"> instead and you will get text box.

  • I edited my Drop Down Menu, yet the changes arent reflected online

    Hi everyone,
    I created a website for a friend, and I used Drop Down Menus
    for a image category. Now, I went back into the behaviors palette
    in DW, and I edited the name of one of the items in the menu. But
    when i uploaded my file back online, none of the changes took
    place, and this was in 5 different files. Here's the site:
    http://www.helenbwilson.com/
    If you click on the "Portfolio" button, a drop down menu
    should come out—but instead of saying "Godot and Mul." it
    should only say "Godot". Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?
    I already re-uploaded my "mm_menu.js" file back online. Is
    there another file Im missing?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks everyone
    -Psy

    The mm_menu.js file is not controlling it.
    It is the JavaScript on the page:
    function mmLoadMenus() {
    After you make the changes you will need to upload the pages
    you made the changes on.
    BTW you might want to consider another option for that menu:

  • In Itunes 12 is there a way to view search results in the playlist view rather than the drop down menu?

    When searching for a song title, an artist etc in Itunes 12 it shows the results via a tiny consolidated drop down menu, however in previous version of Itunes search results would be displayed in the main playlist view. I seriously dislike the search drop down view because A) it only shows limited results B) It shows artwork C) It is confusing when trying to search your playlist when you are trying to organize your library.
    If anyone knows a way to change the search view preference please let me know how or advise me on how to suggest to Apple that they change it back or give people the option to choose which search result view they would like to use.
    Thanks.

    If you disable the Search Entire Library option (available in the dropdown to the left of the search box) iTunes 12 will not show the search results in a dropdown but will immediately go to a filtered version of your current view.  With the Search Entire Library option enabled, you can still get to this filtered view by clicking on the first entry in the drop down, which will say "Show <search string> in Library" or "Show <search string> in <playlist>" depending on where you start the search from.
    There are some inconsistencies in the search behavior, most notably that where you have the Search Entire Library option enabled and search within a playlist the dropdown will show all matches in you complete library (whether in your playlist or not), whereas the first entry in the dropdown just takes you to the filtered playlist view.
    You can use https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html to provide input to developers about bugs, enhancement requests, etc.

  • 'Weird' Terminology: rigs, snapshots and checkboxes/My odyssey, to create a simple drop-down menu ;)

    The Preface
    I'm a hobbyist! "Daddy does movies", enthusiastic about the -zillions of features, tools like FCPX and Motion5 offer! I'm no designer, no engineer, no 'pro'. My goals are sky-high, results more down-to-earth
    This is no request for help, just to share my … quest for a 'simple' effect. Or feature… Or box.-
    In hope, it helps YOU to solve your problems…
    The Issue
    Simple: I wanted to create my very own 'title' template for FCPX. Concept: a lil' animation, the two teams logos reveal a lower third, showing the actual score. Plus, an insert showing the scorer (=my kids love to see themselve in such 'sports graphics' )
    Usually, I 'manufacture' such graphics as single Motion-Projects. This time, my goal was a template, my kids slaughtered in the first season's game the other team by 11:1 (which is in soccer…  a goal-fest) To 'built' each Title manually as individual Projects would spend too much time. I needed a template! … so, step #1: using a Dropzone for opponents logo - easy. Animating - been there, done that, easy.-
    But that 'show players face&name' … 18 team-members… wouldn't it be nice to have some 'drop down menu'?
    How to accomplish that?
    The Manual, with all respect, is written for experts. Describing ALL options in one sentence. I need a cookbook, step-by-step-instruction … My preferred source of imagination, MacBreakStudio/rippletraining/Mark Spencer, hasn't done a tutorial for 'drop downs' yet.-
    My guts told me, it has something to do with 'rigs' …
    The Rig
    I dragged my folder with player-pics into my Motion5 project; there, I could check/uncheck each player. But I wanted these 'boxes' avail in FCPX, I wanted to 'publish' this check-list. Trying 'tis&'tat, I noticed, I can apply to the opacity of each player-pic a Rig. And a Checkbox-rig - hey, that close!!
    … soooo?
    No 'checkbox' in FCPX after publishing my title. No list after publishing to FCPX! What have I done wrong?
    The Snapshots
    I was confused by the meaning of  'snapshot'! … and since it made "ping!" in my head, it's so simple:
    As I would done it in a 'manufactured', single Motion project, I have to select each team-member, create a New Snapshot, set opacity to show only this player; create another New Snapshot, showing a diff. player. … and so on, and so on.
    … for sure, for convenience I renamed each Snapshot to each Player's name…
    In my amateurish mind, I had the imagination, Motion5 would offer me a 'behavior' (or 'filter' or whatever) to create checkboxes; or drop-downs; … uhm, well it does, but for me the work-flow is back-to-front: first creating a status-quo, then tell 'this is option#1/#2/#3' … I had the idea, you can select first an 'empty box', then drag its content into it. I've learned: professional don't tic this way.
    Eighteen Snapshots later …
    The Result
    After publishing my hand-crafted Title, it appears like that in FCPX:
    The Dropzone is to apply the actual contestants team-logo; the 'Title' is the score, just type the number; and - finally! - I had my drop-down-menu, listing all players,  for simple selection.- Me happy … !
    In movin' images:
    http://youtu.be/wIeu1cVMu94
    As mentioned before: the design isn't meant to win a price; and most probably, there are 'shorter ways to Rome' … so, if any of you 'pros' like to comment or recomment a 'better', in terms of 'easier' way, don't hesitate to teach me!

    … I'm no expert (as you notice in my first post ), but I'm really overwhelmed by the endless options, esp. in correlation with FCPX… on first sight, 'rigging' looked like 'bundled color sliders' to me, but by creating your very own drop-down menus you can create extremely powerful tools, handcrafted for your very own needs.
    For sport-reports, with its tons of statistics and inserts, you can create a box of 'title genrators' - once done, multiple times used, and extreeeemly fast then.
    … And when a 'nnob' like me manages it, it is really no rocket-science…
    Kudos to the DevTeam at Cupertino!!!

  • Linking a page as a browser window from a drop-down menu item

    I have tried to link from a drop-down menu item to link to a small browser window instead of a full page.  I tried using the "behaviors" but I got both the regular page and the browser window.  Is there a way to make it just the browser window.
    Thanks.

    I tried that target=_Blank" but I still got the regular page plus the small browser window .  I got rid of the Behavior for now.  My aim is to would display the page in a simple 450 wide x 450 long browser window with a scroll bar with nothing else.  If you can give me a code hint to do that, It would be appreciated.  I'll figure out the rest.
    My HTML coding skills are limited, as I'm used to using FP.(FP seems to be to the Web circles as the Bard's Scottish Play is to the theatrical world)

  • My new bookmarks now appear at the top of the drop-down menu, not at the bottom like before. Why?

    It used to be that when I created a new bookmark and saved in the Bookmarks Menu it would go to the bottom of the list on the Bookmarks drop-down menu. Now, new bookmarks go to the top of the drop-down menu and appear ABOVE the "Recent Tags" and "Recently Bookmarks" folder. How can I fix this?

    This behavior may have been changed by an extension.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Drop Down Menu selection query for recordset.

    I am looking to utilize a dynamic drop down menu to query a recordset...I am using Colfusion to import an MS Access database that contains the following fields: "Model Date", "Name", "Points" and "Target".  Each time the database updates, the "Model Date" field contains the date and time the model was run.  I have figured out how to create a dynamic drop down using SELECT DISTINCT "model date" and have also figured out how to create the dynamic recordset to be displayed showing the "Name", "Points" and "Target" data. 
    I want the user to select the "Model Date" from the drop down, hit a submit button and then have the appropriate "Name", "Points" and "Target" data queried and shown below.
    The query should take the selection from the "model date" dropdown and then query the "name", "points" and "target" fields for that particular "model date"
    I admit my knowledge of SQL and Coldfusion is not the best, but it seems like this is a somewhat simple task and I am just missing one or two pieces of the cog to put it all together.
    The database basically looks like this:
    Model Date...........Name..........Points........Target
    8/1/2010 08:00......John Doe.....1,250.........5.55%
    8/1/2010 08:00......Jane Doe.....850............2.35%
    8/1/2010 08:00......Bill Smith....11,832........-123.23%
    8/2/2010 09:02......John Doe.....1,323.........6.67%
    8/2/2010 09:02......Jane Doe.....1,001.........3.21%
    8/2/2010 09:02......Bill Smith....10,235........-110.26%
    The dropdown will only show the "model dates"
    8/1/2010 08:00
    8/2/2010 09:02
    For example, if 8/1/2010 08:00 was selected from the dropdown, I want the following displayed:
    Name..................Points...................Target
    John Doe.............1,250....................5.55%
    Jane Doe.............850.......................2.35%
    Bill Smith............11,832...................-123.23%
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks,
    Mike

    My second paragraph talks about just displaying the filtered data, so I'm assuming that's what you're looking for, but still not quite sure based on what the other responses are. 
    But I head on anyway -
    On your first page, make note of the instance name of your drop down menu, such as "ModelDate".  Make sure it's in a Form and set the form action to the page where you want to display your data, set the form action to POST.
    On the results page, create a table with cells for each of the data elements you want to display. Create a recordset which you can do in Simple mode. Leave it at select all, and set the filter drop down to the database field which contains your Model Date. In the box to the right, select "=". the next dropdown selct "Form Variable" and the variable name type in the instance name of the drop down on the first page. 
    I may not have the terminology right, doing it from memory.
    From the data bindings tab, expand your recordset and locate each of the database fields you want to display.  Drag each one to the table cell on the page where you want it displayed.  The table cells have to be in a linear row.
    Now, select the table row buy selecting the TR tag in the tags just above the properties panel.  In the server behaviors tab, select repeat region and "All Records"
    Publish your pages and test!

  • Drop down menu doesn't close

    Hi everyone,
    Since I upgraded to Leopard, I remarked a strange menu bar behavior, can you tell me if it's the same for you : When I click on a menu item's icon (not on whatever application menu but at the right of these, like the Bluetooth, Clock or Airport menu), first the drop menu appears. Then, if I click again on this icon, the drop down menu close itself but if I move my mouse at least one pixel in the menu bar area, it opens again. It doesn't really retract or close itself, it only opens and re-open. The only thing to do is to click outside the menu area (on the desktop) to close definitely the drop down menu. Strange!
    It wasn't like this in all previous OS X and OS 9.
    Do you experience the same thing? Is it a bug?
    Thanks for sharing.

    I've already made this game. There is a much easier and more user friendly implementation. Have the user start a new game from a menu or button or whatever. Once the game is started have buttons above each row (possibly with a graphic arrow pointing down in the the color of the player who is placing the piece), when the player clicks the button drop a piece into that row.
    Don't put an action in an action, you are just making complicated code. Code (especially OO) is supposed to be uncomplicated, easy to read, write, etc....
