Drop down menu default is ugly...why?

Hi,
Im sure this is a really stupid question but I have a
template I built with a standard drop down menu...
http://www.bluehippotravel.com/spahotels.php
-see top right where it says "more"? And see on the top left
for the hotel search where there is the country/city/state drop
downs?
My question is, why are they the ugly old style drop down,
when I want them to look like the more modern, bubble style like
the volvo drop down here:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select2
Im sure it's something really obvious and simple but I have
no idea....thank you in advance for the help/
Also, does anyone have a suggestion on the page
http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select2
for a better way to arrange the menu? I could do a more
attractive javascript menu but it's got a mixture of drop downs,
text input (Hotel Name) and two image clicks (Date and Amenity)
Thank you!
Laura

It's because you have used an ordinary jump menu element (and
used it
incorrectly, too since it's not within a <form> tag) -
<label><select name="jumpMenu10" id="jumpMenu10"
onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)" class="more">
<option selected="selected">More</option>
<option
value="
http://www.bluehippotravel.com/allinclusivevacations.html">All
Inclusive</option>
<option
value="
http://www.bluehippotravel.com/safaris.html">Safaris</option>
</select></label></span></td>
and then styled it with this rule -
select.more {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: x-small;
background-color:#e2f7fd;
border-color:#003399
font-size: x-small;
font-weight: normal;
color:#003366;
The w3 example doesn't style the <select> tag at all.

Firefox 6. When right clicking a tab no drop-down menu appears. Why do I not have the option to pin, unpin, etc.

I'm using Firefox 6 with all current updates. This is on a desktop pc running Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
At some previous time I was able to pin tabs - I pinned three. Lately I do not have a drop-down menu when right clicking on a pinned or unpinned tab. The feature is just not there.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps

I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps at all. And 2, Lr everytime I load it up it gives me the option to retry or switch to and it takes a while for me to even get anywhere with it I think it has something to do with the catalogs? I've been using these programs for a few years now on a Mac...no problem but when I use a PC when I'm away coz it's the (only) comp available these happen PC's are so useless! Please can anyone help??...

I can give a few suggestions on Photoshop CC 2014, but Lightroom is a separate forum and you should ask Lr questions there.
First close Photoshop.
Then start Photoshop by double-clicking on it's icon and very quickly after that, hold down the ctrl-alt-shift keys until you see the reset dialog. answer "Yes" to delete settings, and let Photoshop continue to load.
It's tricky to do and may take a few tries, but at least it should reset Photoshop CC 2014 to defaults.

Why can't I find preferances in the edit tabs drop down menu?

Although I had Indesign CS6 for over a year this is my first time using it . I want to set the default page size to inches, instead of using Indesigns default settings. Following Terry Whites instruction From the video clip on YouTube I tried finding Preferances in the Edit tabs menu, But when I click on the edit tab I can't find preferances in the drop down menu. What am I doing wrong or what am I not doing. sombody please help me to change this setting. I know nothing about the measurement type that indesign uses as a default.
Thank you, For your answers.

Setting default value in dynamic drop-down menu

Hi,
I created a simple drop-down menu that can be used to edit an
existing record or to create a new record.
When creating a new record, I'd like the drop-down menu to
display "Not specified" by default. Could anyone help me with this?
The "Not specified" option in the drop-down menu should refer
to record ID 11 in my database table entitled "names".
Here's what my code looks like so far.
The db queries:
<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="DATA" NAME="get">
SELECT *
FROM names
order by name
</CFQUERY>
<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="DATA" NAME="quo">
SELECT *
FROM quotes
WHERE quoteID = #quoteID#
</CFQUERY>
This part is for the existing database record:
<select name="frn_ID">
<cfoutput query="get">
<option value="#id#"<cfif id is quo.frn_ID>
selected</cfif>>#name#</option>
</cfoutput>
</select>
Here is where I'd like the ID with a default value of 11 to
be displayed:
<cfelse>
<select name="frn_ID">
<cfoutput query="get">
<option value="#id#">#name#</option>
</cfoutput>
</select>
</cfif>
Thank you for any help with this!
Luke

Thank you.
I added this line:
<CFSET ThisOne = 11>
and then edited the drop-down menu to appear like this:
<select name="frn_ID">
<cfoutput query="get">
<option value="#id#" <cfif ThisOne is ID>
selected</cfif>>#name#</option>
</cfoutput>
</select>

Why does my drop down menu not have setup sync?

MY drop down menu in Firefox does not include setup sync. Do I have the latest version of firefox? I amd trying to sync info with my new laptop.

Firefox > Tools > SYNC NOW
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

In System Preferences, and CDs &DVDs, I've set the drop-down menu for audio CDs to open iTunes. can anyone tell me why it always reverts to Ignore?

Can anyone help me figure out why the setting in System Preferences and CDs & DVDs will always revert to Ignore when I set the drop-down menu to When you insert a music CD, to Open ITunes? I've tried iTunes Help and it told me exactly what I have been doing. I've even tried downloading iTunes again, to no avail. If anyone has had the same problem, please let me know. I would very much appreciate it.

In iTunes Preferences not system preferences under the General Tab there is a drop down in the lower part letting you specify what action to take when a CD is inserted
Show CD
Begin Playing
Ask To Import
Import CD
Import and Eject
I believe this setting adds to the system preferences

On my CC drop down menu why is it only Lightroom app that does not have CC

I have historically used Lightroom as a single purchased product and recently I purchased Creative Cloud.
As a new user I am very unfamiliar with things but I noticed On my Creative Cloud drop down menu containing a list of all my apps I noticed that each of my apps conclude with CC at the end.
with other words
Photoshop CC
Bridge CC
Edge Inspect CC
Scout CC
Lightroom NOTHING ?
On my CC drop down menu why is it only Lightroom app that does not have CC at the end of Lightroom.
Has the system recognised my old Lightroom and it has not installed a CC version or is this the same for everybody out there and if so why?
Why no CC on the drop down menu after the word Lightroom?

Why no CC on the drop down menu after the word Lightroom?
Nothing to worry about. It's the same for everyone and it's normal.
Lightroom does not follow the Cloud version numbering (yet). It's always had its own version numbering.
When the Cloud was first released there was no Lightroom included.
Adobe added Lightroom to the Cloud later but never added CC to the numbering. So yet another layer of confusion was added to the versioning of Cloud software.
There are now two distinct versions of Lightroom:
Lightroom 5.6 (perpetual license, does not include Lightroom Mobile)
Lightroom 5.6 (Cloud which includes Lightroom Mobile)

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.

Default values for dependent drop down menu

Hi!
I did create an insert record page that lets the user put in information using text fields. In addition the form has a dependent drop down menu for a category and then depending on the chosen category, the user is presented with choices in a second drop down menu for subcategories.
The insert of the record itself works fine.
The records are then listed in a table. A link to a details page should then list all fields of a chosen record. I have another form sporting them dependent drop down menus again. Since I retrieve a record from the database I would like to have the drop down menus default to the values stored in the database.
But whatever I tried the menus always default to the respective first entries in each menu.
I tried to use the "select value equal to" field in the "insert record" for the category and the "Default detail value" field in the dependent drop down item for the subcategory field.
Any pointers anybody?
Thanks in advance
Juergen

Hi there I cannot understand your request fully but I think I understand....
I think I have done nearly exactly what you need
I will try to explain
for a start I am working on a art gallery site that has many different artists and many different paintings
I am able to add a new artist and have that artist name appear automatically in a dropdown menu on my add painting form page so that when I add a new painting I do not have to type the arrtists name every time
I am not sure this is what you need but I think maybe....
(i have another site that displays different categories of jewellry... with a form that has same dropdown and can choose product category.... but the process is the same)
the way I did it was to first create an 'artist_info' table in my database and an 'add artist page' pretty simple
Then an painting_pnt table in my database and an 'add painting' page with a form that contains a dropdown menu that is dynamically populated from the artist_infotable... label from the artist_name field value from the artist_id field so the form uses two recordsets.......
Then in my painting_pnt table I have a field that stores the artist_id
So when I add a new artist..... the name automatically appears in the dropdown menu when I add a new painting I choose the artist name and then later I can filter recordsets on my detail pages using the id_artist....
there is a lot more to it as well but that should get you started
I hope this helps
If you have any questions at all I will try to explain better

"undefined" appearing next to text in CSS Drop-Down menu, why?

Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with a CSS drop-down menu. The menu works fine, as you can see here:
http://littlebuddymedia.com/help/011.html
But the text "undefined" appears next to the main menu options. My question is, why?
I have narrowed the problem down to this chunk of code:
<div class="chromestyle" id="chromemenu">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu1">Resources</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu2">News</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu3">Search</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
If you remove the rel="dropmenu1" portion of the code, the word "undefine" no longer appears, but then the menu doesnt drop-down anymore.
Any ideas?
If it is needed:
Here is the CSS file: http://littlebuddymedia.com/help/chrometheme/chromestyle.css
Here is the JS file:http://littlebuddymedia.com/help/chromejs/chrome.js
Thank you.

When I use FF to view the generated source, I see this -
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu1">Resources undefined</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu2">News undefined</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="dropmenu3">Search undefined</a></li>
The undefined is coming from the javascript functions that you have loaded in that external file. This function call is what starts it -
<script type="text/javascript">
cssdropdown.startchrome("chromemenu")
</script>

My default drop down menu is not aligning

I'm not sure where or how to adjust this since it is driven from the default menu system inside the site.
The page in question is http://www.nznutraceuticals.com/home_copy There is only one drop down menu under PRODUCTS. but it centers to the screen width instead of relational with the menu item. Any ideas?

Hi,
Looks like it's because of the styles linked by your template. I've connected and applied the same menu to a fresh page on your site (BC TEST MENU), with the default template, and it renders fine. Consider using css html only as the menu type, or look into these docs: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/898/cpsid_89875.html // http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1903
Kind Regards,

How do I get a drop down menu to auto default to option selected a value other than the default written in the javascript?

I use web based software where I have to select from a drop down menu a particular option. However, I only ever use 1 option. Sometimes as much as 100 times a day. Is there anyway to get Firefox to auto select the same option every time? I don't have access to the source code so I cant change <option selected="selected" value="">.

A possibility would be a Greasemonkey script to do this automatically or a JavaScript bookmarklet to do it manually.
You would need to remove the selected="selected" from the currently selected option and set that attribute for the wanted option.
You can test the bookmarklet here:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element/select
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var d=document,s=d.getElementsByTagName('SELECT')[0],o=s.getElementsByTagName('OPTION'),S='selected',v='value1',i;for(i=0;O=o[i];i++){if(O.value==v){O.setAttribute(S,S);O.selected=true}else{O.removeAttribute(S);O.selected=false;}}})();</nowiki></pre>
If there are more 'selects' then you need to adjust the element number [0] and you also need to adjust the value of the wanted option.
