Drop down menu hidden behind javascript slider
I have a js slider that is sitting in front of my drop down menu.
I tried the x-index in my css file using position as absolute and nothing...
Can anyone help..I am new to this. I am using Easy Rotator for the slider
Thanks
.servicesdropped {
display: none;
text-align: left;
position: absolute;
background: #172323;
font-size: 12px;
width: 590px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000;
margin: 10px 0 0 20px;
padding: 10px 20px 20px;
z-index: 40000;

64 errors is not acceptable. You still have non-working menus owing to the malformed lists and your slider doesn't work.
I'm trying to be constructive when I say this site is seriously overdue for a re-build. The table layout with a gazillion spacer.gifs is a relic from 1990's web design. Practically speaking, this site belongs in a museum. In the long run, it would be better to re-build it with CSS layouts and modern web practices See Responsive Web Design.

Spry Drop down menu disappearing behind flash mov
Hi Can someone help? I have a spry drop down menu that appears fine in IE but in firefox it disappears behind my flash movie! it appears fine if there is just a image. Any ideas?
This is the wrong part of the forum for this type of problem, and it may be better if you post this type of question (or most questions), to the dreamweaver section.
That said check your position: absolute: statments in your css, as this is often the cause.

I am making a website with a drop down menu and while it appears in Firefox and Safari fine it doesn't in IE. Instead it seems to be cut off when rolled over.
Would anyone have any idea what could be causing this issue?

Drop Down Menu Hidden By Flash in IE
http://www.extravaganzacreative.com/moonlight/test2.htm
My drop down (under "Portfolio") drops behind my Flash movie
that it should extend over. It works fine on my Mac in FF and
Safari, I am only seeing it when I test it on my PC in IE.
I have tried changing the wmode to transparent in all places
where that is relevant. I have also experimented with z-index
(although I don't know if this impacts flash movies.)
I have been stuck on this for days. Not sure if this was the
best forum to post this at because it combines various members of
the Creative Suitehttp://www.projectseven.com/support/answers.asp?id=127

How to avoid prompting the userid and password in Drop Down Menu
Hey Guys hope you can help me.
I have created a page wherein within that page I have a drop down menu using a javascript here is the code (please see my code below): Now the problem is each time I click any of the selection below the useid and password prompt me.
Is their any way that this can be fixed so that I cann pass the userid and password as a parameter? I have already tried to pass the &SESSION but it does not work.
Please enlighten me on this one....
Thanks,
Henry
<select name="P300_selected_alert" size="1" onChange="bringMeHere(this.options[selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="" selected>-Select One-</option>-->
<option value="All Alerts">All Alerts</option>
<option value="Acknowledged">Acknowledged</option>
<option value="Unacknowledge">Unacknowledge</option>
<option value="Acknowledged-Resolved">Acknowledged-Resolved</option>
<option value="Acknowledged-Unresolve">Acknowledged-Unresolve</option>
<option value="Target Name">Target Name</option>
</select></td>
</td>
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function bringMeHere(a)
if (a == "Acknowledged")
location.href="f?p=103:295:12375097291676676231:NO::";
else
location.href="f?p=103:300:12375097291676676231:NO::";
</script>
---------------------------------------------------Henry,
See the change I made to your reports region template on page 1, adding the session id to the links as was suggested earlier:
var Session_Id = html_GetElement('pInstance').value;
if (a == "Name")
location.href="f?p=35225:3:"+Session_Id;
else if (a == "Employee")
location.href="f?p=35225:2:"+Session_Id;
else
location.href="f?p=35225:1:"+Session_Id;
And again, you do not want to be hard-coding the application ID anywhere in your code.

Flash Animation Blocks Drop-Down Menu
I added a simple flash animation (slideshow) to a site I am
working on which is located under the navigation bar that has a
drop-down menu (created in Fireworks). When I preview the site in
Firefox or Internet Explorer on a PC, the drop-down menu is behind
the flash animation and all of the links cannot be seen. Is there
an easy solution to this problem?
Thank you,

JavaScript and Drop down menu help?
Hi,
I'm having trouble trying to get options in my drop down menu to update in another section. I have the below script in a hidden field and everything seems to be working but it keeps picking up the last line only when doing calculations (i.e 48) when I change it in the drop down menu to say "HBZ-200" which has the value of 200 it is still only picking up the last line and value of 48.
So to put a little perspective on things the below script is in a hidden field called stndwatt, I then want to calculate that in another hidden field called calc which has the following calculations - (Qty3+ballconsump)-stndwatt, this should then update my visible field called ElectYear1 which then has the calculations of - (Qty1+Qty2)*(Qty4*Qty5*Qtycost*calcs*weeksinyear)/1000, as far as I can work out my stndwatt field is only picking up the last line below which is 48.
I'm sorry if this is vague I'm not very familar with JavaScript or PDF forms and have been scratching my head all day with this.
var v = this.getField("ProductLineOne").value;
if (v=="T101221W-30 (3000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="T101221W-40 (4000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="T101221W-50 (5000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="T101221W-60 (6000K T10 LED Tube)") event.value = "21";
else if (v=="HBZ-100 (100W LED High Bay)") event.value = "100";
else if (v=="HBZ-150 (150W LED High Bay)") event.value = "150";
else if (v=="HBZ-200 (200W LED High Bay)") event.value = "200";
else if (v=="ZSL-48W (48W LED Shop Light)") event.value = "48";Are you sure the code you posted here is EXACTLY the same as the code in
your file? Did you copy&paste it?
If so, can you share the file in question? -
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. -
Pass a url variable to javascript for drop down menu
Hello,
I'm in over my head as far as javascript goes. This is what I
am trying to do. I have this URL...
http://www.grasshorse.com/prod2.cfm?SortBy=all&ProdAbbr=shm
I want to take the variable for ProdAbbr which in this case
is "shm" and make that a variable in javascript. So that I can add
the variable to a dynamic link I'm using for a drop down menu.
mm_menu_0520211545_0.addMenuItem("All Departments","location='prod.cfm?SortBy=all&ProdAbb r=eval(ProdAbbr)'");
I really have no clue what to do. I haven't hardly used
javascript at all and I'm looking for some charity. Does anyone
have any ideas on how I can do this?
Thanks
Steve
Any insight is greatly appreciated.jawwinker wrote:

The javascript for a drop down menu
I have a problem. I am new in pdf
javascripting. What i want to do is to make a drop down menu with multiple items, clicking any of each items will take me to a bookmark or a web addess. I can make the drop menu (this is wuite easy, however without adding java script the drop down menu will be dead. Can someone help me with this script, i will be much obliged if some one has an actual pdf file with that drop down menu and the script. That will be much appreciated my email address is monaahmad at yahoo dot com
Regrads
Mona ahmadYou could try something like this in your "onchange" event of the drop down.
var sSelectedItem = xfa.event.newText; // get the item from the drop down
switch (sSelectedItem) {
case "Item 1":
window.location = "http://www.website1.com"
break;
case "Item 2":
window.location = "http://www.website2.com"
break; -

/*******Hi -
While I am not familiar with the use of all the span tags I see,
You said "currently on the "about us" option a sub menu drops down, ive worked out how to add to this menu and change the words"
What is the problem doing the same thing under the other top level item? -
After someone suggested the P7 link (
http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/navigation/auto_hide/index.htm[i
), I was able to reverse engineer it and figure out how it works
(obviously not a feat of genius, but I'm new at this). Anyway, I
got it working, made some changes to and and had a functioning
horizontal drop down menu bar to pop into my own site.
So I renamed everything, linked the .js to the HTML page in
the <head>, put the CSS into the attached style sheet, etc.
Everything was going great until I previewed it and realized that
the drop downs were happening behind the "bottom_half_wrapper"
elements rather than on top of them all.
So then I played with the z-index and put the nav bar on the
2nd level. No dice.
Also, you cannot scroll down the drop down menus without them
disappearing.
How should I be approaching this? I think that what is
especially hindering me is my lack of javascript knowledge. I am
under the gun at work and learning all of this on the fly. I have
attached the relevent code, but cannot publish the site since I am
at a large educational institution and do not have permission to
publish it to our server yet.
Thanks!I don't think there is a correct answer to your questions, just opinions and options that all have a place in design decisions. Not all people will allow javascript or Flash content, so sticking with a CSS/html approach will help maximize the potential audience. But CSS/html-only solutions can end up lacking interesting functional/interactive elements. So the choice really comes down to using what works best to make the site performance what it needs to be.

DW CS4 Horizontal Spry drop down menu not displaying correctly in Internet Explorer 8
Hi,
I have created a horizontal Spry drop down menu in Dreamweaver CS4 with my own background images. I have done various modifications to the CSS script to accommodate the style and feel needed; including making the main buttons' height twice the size of the sub menu buttons and some alignments. It seems to work different depending which browser is used.
It works well in Google Chrome.
It works well in Firefox with the exception that if any of the buttons are clicked, thereafter a thin black line is diplayed horizontally across center of the top main buttons when the mouse rolls over them. I would like to correct this but is not nearly as bad as the problem I'm having in Internet Explorer 8.
Here is my biggest concern and I would greatly appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this matter.
Once opened in Internet Explorer 8 the main navigation buttons appear as they should. IE8 prompts me the following: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options..". Once I allow IE8 to run scripts or ActiveX controls, the background image disappears and only shows on any menu or submenu button when the mouse rolls over that particular button. Can someone please help.
The menu can be seen at work by clicking on this link:

Below are all the scrips involved.
Here is the CSS script named "SpryMenuBarHorizontal4.css" in use :

SpryMenuBar.js
This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar. You should have no need
to edit this file. Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
showing that submenu until the timer fires.

Jose H.Hello Nancy,
I was troubleshooting For the next 8 hours after my post here and eventually I got it right, I uploaded the files to the test server and at the time did not have the chance to post the solution here. This is why, as you saw, it is working correctly now. Both the CSS and HTML files needed modifications. While working on the code I had to run IE8, Chrome and Firefox simultaneously and refresh all three after every change in the code because what would fix the problem in one would cause a problem for the other.
In addition to the problems listed in my original post, there were also other graphical issues in IE8, such as; the main menu buttons without sub-menus would only display at half their size vertically. The border around the buttons would not display despite that the background images were rendered in Photoshop as flattened JPEGs with boarders as part of the background image. Being so, I removed all borders from the CSS script.
By the way.. the IE8 security measure did pop up while working from the server.
Anyhow for those of you who are experiencing similar problems you can take a look at the working code bellow and compare it to the initial code. I've included detail comments on every line I have changed, modified or added.
Good luck.. as I know it can become a complicated task when creating custom Spry menus.

And Richard.. Thanks again for the time and your help, truly appreciated.
Jose H. -
Please help: Populating values in drop down list by onchange - javascript !
I am working on a task - I need to populate drop down named "year" dynamically (from database) depending upon the select of an element from drop down list "carLine" . I am calling javascript funtion on onchange event of the html select and setting property of the selected element.The environment is Struts and dynaactionform is being used . Here is the my html select for both the drop down list s and javascript funtion to set value. The getYears method is defined in the locatoraction action class. But after doing all these carLine is not getting populated with the values corresponding to selected carline.
Database side is working fine .
<script type="text/javascript">
function getYearsForCarline(){
document.getElementById('method').value = 'getYears';
document.forms[0].submit();
alert("submitted");
</script>
<html:form styleId="locatorForm" action="/locator/locatorAction" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="method" value="getYears" />
<tr>
<td align="center">
<table border="0" width="300" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5">
<tr>
<td><span class="formLabelEM"><bean:message
key="label.locator.carLine" />*</span>
<html:select styleId="carLineBox" property="carLine" onchange="javascript:getYearsForCarline()">
<html:option value="">Select a Carline</html:option>
<html:optionsCollection property="carLines" />
</html:select></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><span class="formLabelEM"><bean:message
key="label.locator.modelYear" />*</span>
<html:select property="year" >
<html:option value="">Select Year</html:option>
<html:optionsCollection property="years" />
Any advise will be highly appreciated . Thanks in advance.Thanks both of you for the advise ! My code worked perfectly fine after adding separate action mapping for Year and using that as action in the form though the new action mapping point to the same action class locatorAction ..I still do not understand the reason behind this exactly(any suggestion are most welcome) but it works. Here is code for my action mapping :
<action path="/locator/locatorYearAction" name="locatorForm"
input="/locator/locatorMain.jsp"
type="com.apps.sales.web.salesin.actions.LocatorAction"
parameter="method" validate="true">
<forward name="showCarlines" path="/locator/locatorMain.jsp"
redirect="false" />
<forward name="showModels" path="/locator/locatorModels.jsp"
redirect="false" />
</action> -

</html>thats my code for part of database, in the parts that go "if CID = 0", thats the new record field, in there right now i just have users put in info into blank input fields, however, i would like to know if i can make certain fields, like Mraketer, and Counterparty fields to have drop down menus, Anyone know??So basically the main focus of what I was askin is in this block of code below:
if (CID == 0) {
// Do the insert via a PreparedStatement
java.sql.PreparedStatement ps = null;
ps = db.prepareStatement("insert into hit_or_miss values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
ps.setInt(1, nID);
ps.setString(2, DE);
ps.setString(3, SI);
ps.setString(4, TT);
ps.setBigDecimal(5, NTL);
ps.setString(6, ST);
ps.setString(7, CP);
ps.setString(8, ED);
ps.setString(9, SD);
ps.setString(10, MD);
ps.setString(11, CT);
ps.setString(12, MRKTR);
ps.setBigDecimal(13, SC);
ps.setBigDecimal(14, MP);
ps.setString(15, CC);
ps.executeUpdate();
out.print("<font color=darkblue>The new record has been inserted into the database successfully</font>");
} else {
// Do the update via a PreparedStatement
// First we insert a row into the archive table
java.sql.PreparedStatement ps = null;
ps = db.prepareStatement("update hit_or_miss set date_entered = getdate(), summit_ID = ?, transaction_type = ?, notional = ?, structure = ?, counterparty = ?, expiry_date = ?, start_date = ?, maturity_date = ?, currency_type = ?, marketer = ?, sales_credit = ?, markup = ?, comments_color = ? where hom_ID ="+CID+" ");
ps.setString(1, DE);
ps.setString(2, SI);
ps.setString(3, TT);
ps.setBigDecimal(4, NTL);
ps.setString(5, ST);
ps.setString(6, CP);
ps.setString(7, ED);
ps.setString(8, SD);
ps.setString(9, MD);
ps.setString(10, CT);
ps.setString(11, MRKTR);
ps.setBigDecimal(12, SC);
ps.setBigDecimal(13, MP);
ps.setString(14, CC);
ps.executeUpdate();
out.print("<font color=darkblue>This record has been updated successfully</font>");
} when CID = 0, what it does is it pops up a new window called "New Record" and in this new window, there are boxes where inputs can be made, so that when u hit submit, it submits into the database.
What I want to do is, for example, there is a input field called "Marketer" where one can type in his own name as the Marketer, I want make this into a drop down box, where you can pick the marketer, and not have to type it in.
You know how websies have New User, where you create a new user that is added to their database, and usually the COUNTRY field is a drop down menu where you pick the country from. I would like to do that to my database, and this is the area, or the code, that deal w/ new record "IF CID =0" and edit record "ELSE"
Is this possible?
Thanks in Advance
