Drop Down Menu on Page to Display Different Content

I need to put a drop down menu into a page. People would be able to select form the menu and get different content on the page. These would not be links to other pages.
I do not want the menu items to be links to other pages, but separate content all on the same page. Kind of like a anchor, but instead of all the text being displayed at once the text only displays when chosen from the drop down.

You could also use jQuery to show/hide divs.

  • Spry Tabbed Panels overwritting Flash drop down menu in IE but display fine in Firefox

    I am having an issue with Spry Tabbed Panels appearing above
    a Flash drop down menu in IE6 & IE7 but it works fine in
    Firefox. Would someone be able to educate me on what I can do to
    fix this problem. The page that is exhibiting this problem is
    http://us.shuttle.com/performance.aspx
    I’ve add “WMODE” to my flash menu,
    also updated “SpryTabbedPanels.js to version 0.5 –
    pre-release 1.6”, but neither way is
    helping…….

    Thank you very much for the suggestion. Yes, this is how I
    tried:
    .TabbedPanels {
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    float: left;
    clear: none;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 1000;
    I’ve been tried setting Z-index to from 50 to 2000 in
    attached css, but still not working.

  • Hover Hyperlink State in Drop-Down Menu and other Hyperlink display problems

    Hi World!
    So, I'm finishing my new website for a client, but a have some problems:
    At first:
    I putted a Drop-Down Menu and it contains hyperlinks. Normal. But, I can't give a specific state to each hyperlink in the under-menus, I only can put a state for the global link in the Under-Menu! I can put a hover state to a normal HyperLink but not those into a Drop-Down Menu! It is normal?
    How can I make that each link in the Under-Menu has a specific hover state and not all together in the same group! (pictures jointed)
    (what I want to do with the links into the menu. - Juste a picture, not from A-Muse)
    Then:
    When I want to manage my website on BusinessCatalyst, I see strange underlines under my Menu links! (picture). But on Adobe Muse, I see no underline to these links! What's the matter? ^^
    (when it's on the prewiew mode)
    (On A-Muse)
    RESOLVED! But not completely. I've made a Hyperlink-style, but it doesn't works...
    On the prewiew (with the hovering mouse)
    EDIT: In the menu, "Accueil" and *Gérants Indépendants" musn't open another window under. So I made independent forms on the menu. But can I make that those one are in the menu TOO? I don't want to open the blue window for those one.
    Thanks a lot!
    O.

    http://metisfiance.businesscatalyst.com/
    That's the link!
    No I just can't "activate" the hover-modes, like the pictures! Normally, Adobe Muse must be easy to use and i used Muse like I have to do and so,.. It doesn't work^^ Why? You have now the link, I hope you can help me

  • Populate a table field from selection made from drop down menu

    Hello all,
    I'm having a bit of head scratching problem that i just can't get my head around. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4
    and phpmyadmin for my site.
    I have a form that inputs a record into a table in my database.
    The form is a user picking a fantasy sports team. A user selects a player from a drop down menu.
    The players name is got from a recordset that accesses the player database, with the values coming
    from the id field and the values from the name, so a user selects a player by there name and not
    there unique id value. The code for this is as follows:
    <tr valign="baseline">
    <td nowrap="nowrap" align="right">GoalKeeper:</td>
    <td><select name="gkid_team">
    <?php
    do {
    ?>
    <option value="<?php echo $row_rs_pt_gk['gkid_gk']?>" ><?php echo $row_rs_pt_gk['gkname_gk']?></option>
    <?php
    } while ($row_rs_pt_gk = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_pt_gk));
    ?>
    </select></td>
    What i'm trying to achieve is that when a user selects a player from the drop down menu, their price is displayed in the table cell next to the menu. The value is held in the same table of database as the names and id values. I need to do it so the page doesn't need to be refreshed so i assume i need to use some sort of javascript, php and/or maybe ajax. However with java and ajax i have very little or no experience so i'm not really sure what i'm doing. I've been on numerous forums, looked in text books and have been searching the net for hours but i can't seem to solve this problem.
    Any help or advice would really be appreciated as i just can't seem to get my head around it,
    Thanks,
    pb1uk

    can this be done??? thanks in advance annieYes.
    One way of doing it is submitting the form on change of the selected value and fetch back the query results. Have a servlet invoke the method and set the results in the request.
    Another way (not recommended) is to fetch the results corresponding to all the values in the dropdown and have it in the session. The latter solution would obviously be slow.

  • The drop-down menu is not rendered properly with iframe where a pdf is embedded

    I want to embed a pdf in a webpage, where the drop-down menu needs to be displayed on the top of the pdf. I am using iframe to embed the pdf.

    *[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779435 bug 779435] - the drop-down menu is not rendered properly with iframe where a pdf is embedded
    It is usually best to attach a minimal test case to the bug report.<br />
    In that case the code doesn't get lost if the page is removed from the server.

  • Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer displaying font preview.

    I am using Illustrator CS4 and my drop down menu displaying different typefaces is no longer showing all of them, just blank spaces where they would be...that is unless I put my cursor over it and I can then see the typeface. This is more of a nuisance than anything and didn't happen until I updates OS X to Yosemite. I currently am operating OS X  Yosemetie 10.10.2
    I have attached a screen shot. You can see that the font highlighted as the cursor is over it I can see the preview...but one I move the cursor it appears like all the others in the list and is blank.
    HELP!

    Solved using this previous users had the same issue; Font previews not appearing correctly in the character window after upgrading to Yosemite

    When I proceed to enter my email, every time that I place the cursor in the username window, every past entered username appears in a drop down menu; I want to clear this memory for this element.

    Could you be a little more specific?  I took that section out of my CSS file but the problem persists.

  • Displaying drop down menu lists on :hover

    I'm currently trying to implement a drop down menu into my website. My site is at http://www.derektoigo.com/assets/livesites/deploy/index.html (CSS - http://www.derektoigo.com/assets/livesites/deploy/css/style.css )
    I've been working with CSS for a while and can employ mosts techniques, but this is my first time attempting to implement a drop down menu. The main reason I'm here is because I'm looking to better understand why my menu won't display at all and how to overlay these lists over other positioned objects on the page. I'd like to have my menu display horizontally in the black bar on the top of the page and have the ul's in the li's (drop downs) display when I hover over a menu link with some margin (about 30px) to the right of each link. Additionally I find that when I hover my mouse over a link unless both it and its drop down lists have a fixed width, the menu item will "jump" to the side; if possible instead I'd be interested in using flexible width for each menu item and just keeping the drop down lists set to a fixed width, but I don't know how to employ this without the margins being messed up. I'm also concerned about the slider region I implemented being pushed down as a result of the menu not being in the header bar.
    I know this is kinda vague but to be honest I'm really not sure what to explain than otherwise just showing it to you, so if anyone can show me what I'm (not) doing in my CSS that should be different it would be really appreciated. Thanks so much.

    I don't see any menus on your index page.
    Maybe this will help get you started.  View source in browser to see how the code comes together.

  • 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.

    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

    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.

  • 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.

  • Mobile drop down menu won't disappear once I have clicked one of the links in the drop down to take me to an anchor further down the page. I want the drop down to disappear upon clicking and scroll at the same time.

    Basically I have a drop down menu, which i have tried to create numerous times with different widgets available in muse or as freebies on the net.
    The menu within the drop down is a manual menu and each button links to an anchor on the page, so that when clicked the page scrolls to that anchor.
    My problems is that once I have clicked one of the links to go to the anchor further down the page the drop down remains. For the purpose of User Experience and fluidity across the mobile design i would like the drop down to disappear on click of the anchor link. Is this possible?
    Many thanks,
    Lew.

    Hi Brad,
    At the moment I have used an downloaded widget which utilises the acordian style to create the drop down. Here is a link to the Mobile version of the site - http://www.brainstormdesign.co.uk/phone/index.html
    Many thanks,
    Lew.
