Drop Down Menu Linked to Nav Bar

It looks like the default menu bar that opens up when you click a "my page" or drop down button is layered into the nav bar. That is, if the drop down menu is bigger than the navigation area, it is "hidden" behind that layer.
I would like to bring this menu forward one step, so that it is over the navigation. I can't find where to do this at.
Also, what was the thought behind hiding it, am I missing something about a possible conflict with a browser?
Thanks!
Kirk

Hi Kirk,
Do you mean how the drop downs do not go below the banner area? If so, it is done that way because of the burn-through problem. In IE a select box (and in Netscape all form inputs) are displayed above all other layers. That means if a there is a select box in one of the portlets on a page, and the drop down drops down over it, the select box will appear on top of the drop down. This will obscure the links in the drop down.
If you don't mind the burn through problem, then there is a variable in navhztlddmenufuncs.js that you can change the value of. Look for the following code in that file.
/* ** CONFIGURABLE SETTINGS ** Flag for only displaying dropdown menus over the header and community section area. This is done to avoid a browser intrinsic issue where certain form elements are drawn ontop of any divs/layers. Set to true by default, Netscape 7.x is the only browser that doesn't exhibit this problem, set this flag to false if Netscape 7.x is the only browser used. Optionally, this flag could be set based on the browser type. gMenuMAXRowsLimit only applies when gMenuUseBannerEndTags is false.*/var gMenuUseBannerEndTags = true;var gMenuMAXRowsLimit = 8;

  • Cannot remove autocomplete entry from address bar; have already cleared history, and entry is not in the drop-down menu of the address bar either.

    I am having problems removing an autocomplete entry from my address bar; I have tried clearing my history, so it's no longer in that, and I do not have it bookmarked either, so it's not getting the URL from that location either. The autocomplete entry isn't even showing up in the drop down menu, so I can't even scroll through that to delete it.
    Basically, I want to be able to type "st" and go to "store.steampowered.com"; however, despite numerous times of typing in "st" and then going down into the drop-down menu to choose "store.steampowered.com", the bar continues to autocomplete "steamtrades.com", which is exceptionally annoying because I do not have that website bookmarked, or in my history, yet it continues to autocomplete to that address, which I do not want it to autocomplete to, and cannot figure out how to remove because I've already cleared my history multiple times, do not have it bookmarked, and it is not showing up in the drop down of the address bar for me to go down and force delete it.

    Did you try to remove some letters from steamtrades.com to see if that bring this entry up in the drop-down list?
    If it is not in the history then it might be present with a typed=1 flag indicating that you have typed or pasted it in the location bar.
    You can use the SQLite Manager extension in Firefox to inspect the places.sqlite file to see if this entry comes up in the moz_places table.

  • Spry Vertical Drop Down Menu- Links Moving about!

    Hi Everyone.
    I wondered whether anyone might be able to tell me what I am doing wrong?
    When I go to create a spry vertical drop down menu using images instead of text as the links - all of my links jump slightly to the right. Or, in the case of sub-menus - slightly down.
    I have put together a dodgy example below. I don't understand why it is moving the images around.. What am I doing wrong?
    Apart from removing the original text and pressing insert > image object > rollover image - I have not changed any significant settings on the spry menu.
    Edit: I have also tried adding "position: absolute;" tags to the spry coding, but it hasn't made any difference.

    Please let me know how you can post code?

  • How do I double space a document using Pages There is NO Line Spacing control in the drop down menu in the format bar

    How do I double space a document in Pages. The instruction say to use the Line Spacing control in the format bar, but there is NO Line Spacing control in the drop down menu under Format. I'm writing a novel and I am having to manually double space after every line. It is **** when I am trying to edit my work.

    The computer is not too old (and neither are you ).   It may be better if you could upgrade it from 10.5.8 to 10.6 ... but that would not solve this problem.
    As both Paul and I have advised ... get yourself on Pages > go to the View menu and halfway down is the option 'Show Inspector'.   You'll end up with a panel like Paul showed you in his post of 08:42.   Let's see what you can do from there.

  • How do I keep the drop down menu in the navigation bar open without continuously holding the mouse button down?

    When I use the mouse to hover over the naviation bar, I can see it, but once I select a drop down like bookmarks, I have to continuously hold the mouse button down until I move it to the bookmark I want, then I release the mouse button to select the bookmark. I used to be able to just click once to open the bookmark drop down, then click once to choose the bookmark I wanted to open. How do I get this function back?

  • How do I delete something from the drop-down menu of the URL bar. I went there accidentally and don't want it in the list.

    I directly typed what I thought was the correct URL into the URL box. It took me to a site different from where I was wanting to go. Now that site's URL is in the list of URL's in the drop-down box. Is there some way of deleting this from the drop-down list? It seems to me that there used to be a way to do this--a small x on the right side of each site's URL in the list. After one of the updates this was no longer there.

    touch it with mouse, don't click, and press DELETE.

  • What happened to the drop down menu on the navigation bar that showed previous pages visited? It was to the right of the "forward/back" arrows.

    To the right of the forward/back arrows there was a drop down arrow that would allow you to see the last several stops you had made after doing a search. This was very handy for going back and forth between articles, etc. '''I used it all the time and want it back. '''If this version of Firefox doesn't have it, please tell me how to download the previous version that did have it. Thanks.

    The Back/Forward button drop-down arrow marker was removed from Firefox.
    To get the tab history drop-down list, you can:
    *right-click the Back/Forward button
    *HOLD down the left-click mouse button on the Back/Forward button until the list appears (about 1 second)
    *Add back the drop-down marker by installing this Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/

  • When I open a drop down menu from the tool bar, and move the pointer down the list of choices, they become constantly "darkly highlighted" and the typefaces change to black making them unreadable.

    As the pointer is moved down the list of choices in a drop down box, once the pointer passes each choice, that choice becomes constantly “darkly highlighted” and the type face of that choice turns black. So, as the pointer moves down the list of choices all of the choices become a block of darkly highlighted black text, making it impossible to read the choices which were passed over by the pointer.
    It is though the HTML, JavaScript or Java attribute of ''*<code>onMouseover</code>'' is missing the attribute of ''*<code> onMouseout</code>'', thereby when the user moves the pointer off the boundaries of the element, that element retains the CSS given it by the''*<code> onMouseover</code>''

  • The drop-down menu in the Location Bar will not drop down

    I am using Mac OS X 10.5. I have done the following in the attempt to correct this problem, but nothing has worked:
    1. Updated Firefox to version 3.6.6
    2. Checked to verify that the location bar is set to History & Bookmarks.
    3. Reset all user preferences in Firefox Safe Mode.
    4. Gone to about:config and verified that the value on browser.urlbar.maxRichResults is set to 12.
    It also lags significantly when I start to type an address into the Location Bar and takes anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds to drop the URL I prompted it with.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Sounds like a problem with the History.

  • "Bookmark toolbar" is visible as drop down menu but shows empty bar even though it is checked on in "view" menu

    the horizontal "bookmark toolbar" is checked on in the "view" "toolbars" menu, but appears as a blank bar, without any entries. If I go to "Bookmarks" on the menu bar I can see the "bookmark toolbar" entries. How can I make visible the bookmarks saved in the horizontal "Bookmark toolbar".

    Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    Make sure that all the toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar

  • 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

    want to have both happen.
    Also does anyone know how to keep the rollover in the down

  • Every single website, or link within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu. How can I stop this? This just started happening.

    Every single website url address, or url address within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu.
    I don't want everything added or saved in the location bar. Only urls that I used a lot used to be saved there but now every single url (and url within a url)I visit is being added to it.
    How can I stop this? This just started happening.

    A possibility is to open the links via the right-click context menu or a middle-click in a new tab to make sure that Firefox sees them as regular links.

    The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
    Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />
