Drop down menu within a form doesnt work.

I use an online database in which i need to upload pictures and answer questions all within a form. When i go to pick an option from a drop down menu within a form, the form doesn't go down and i cant make any choices. any way to fix this?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode??

Code placement for drop down menu within an animated button

I have a main menu comprised of 7 buttons; 6 of which are all
straight forward with an animation. (The animation is that when the
buttons are rolled over the button extends itself out to the right.
On the rollout the button returns to its original state.) The 6 all
function fine.
The 7th menu button is the same idea but with the edition of
a two button drop down menu that appears when the main button is
rolled over. The roll over part is fine. My problem is moving the
cursor off the main button to get to the sub-menu items without
having them disappear once the cursor if off the main 7th button.
Within the time line of the 7th button (all of the buttons
are movie clip buttons) I put an invisible button, removing the
sections over both the main button and the sub buttons. I have
tried the following:
(I should point out that the labels within the button for the
animation are an _up, _over and _out states...the buttons animate
out in the _over label and animate back to the original position in
the _out label,)
The code and where I have (unsuccessfully) tried placing it
are as follows:
1.) On the invisible button itself (within the main button):
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("_out");
2.) On the Actions layer (within the main button):
invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
gotoAndPlay("_out");
3.) On the Actions layer (on the main timeline...which is
where the code for the other 6 buttons is and running as should):
btnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
btnMusic_mc.gotoAndPlay("_out");
4.) Just a slight variation of #3 (still on the Actions layer
of the main timeline):
btnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
brnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.gotoAndPlay("_out");
The result for all four of these options has been the same.
In rolling over the main button (btnMusic_mc) it does animate out
as it should, exposing the two sub buttons. But moving the cursor
off the btnMusic_mc neither allows me to reach the sub buttons nor
does the btnMusic_mc animate back to its first position (as it
should). It just snaps back into that position.
Clearly I am missing something here. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

Here is what it should read, and does on Safari:
Rates and Hours
FAQ - Yoga
FAQ - Reiki
FAQ - Massage
No, it shouldn't and it doesn't. It should look like :
Rates, Hours, Reservations
Rates and Hours
FAQ - Yoga
FAQ - Reiki
FAQ - Massage
FAQ and Reserve - Training
Here's the correct part :
<select>
          <option value="">Rates, Hours, Reservations</option>
          <option value="http://yogareikimassage.com/MG/Rates.html*_top">Rates and Hours</option>
          <option value="http://yogareikimassage.com/MG/FAQ_-_Yoga.html*_top">FAQ and Reserve - Yoga</option>
          <option value="http://yogareikimassage.com/MG/FAQ_-_Reiki.html*_top">FAQ and Reserve - Reiki</option>
          <option value="http://yogareikimassage.com/MG/FAQ_-_Massage.html*_top">FAQ and Reserve - Massage</option>
          <option value="http://yogareikimassage.com/MG/FAQ_-_Personal_Training.html*_top">FAQ and Reserve - Training</option>
</select>
The <select> item was missing. And if you don't want the first line in the menu (Rates, Hours, Reservations) then don't enter it in the first place.
BTW, it's not a dropdown menu. It's a selection list in a form.

How can I get the drop down menu on the internet to work, which shows most visited websites? It was working on Firefox, and now doesn't.

On the internet when using Firefox, the drop down menu on recently visited sites (where you type in web addresses), does not work. How can I get it drop down and show websites that I recently visited, so I can click on them there instead of retyping them every time?

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing":
* Firefox (Tools) > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Drop down menu in Flash form

I've never developed form in flash before, so this is very
NEW!!! I'm having problems incorporating the "AS" code for the
drop-down in my actions. It's just a simple drop-down with (name -
Gender) / (options - Male / Female)
This is what I have thus far:
if (firstName == null || lastName == null || emailAddress ==
null || zipCode == null || {
gotoAndPlay("regempty");
} else {
surveyEntry = new LoadVars();
surveyEntry.firstName = firstName;
surveyEntry.lastName = lastName;
surveyEntry.zipCode = zip;
surveyEntry.emailAddress = emailAddress;
surveyEntry.sendAndLoad("x_processSurvey.asp", surveyEntry,
"POST");
gotoAndPlay("thankyou");

hey Hutch--
Can it be done? Sure it can. But why would you want to? If
they select a state int he drop down, that's their selection, just
send that data with th erest of your form, why reprint it in
another text box?
I guess if you were trying to show what a mailing label would
look like or a biz card or somehting like that, then OK, but
there's no need to duplicate the data somewhere else to send it.
That being said, you need to look into chage event that the
combo box uses. See Live Docs here:

Good luck!

Get / Put commands in site drop down menu greyed out and not working

Re: Dreamweaver CS4
About a year ago my get and put commands greyed out and stopped working. I called my webhost and they were no help, they did say that they moved my site to a new (linux) server about the same time. I have applied all the correct settings on my configure server window and when I hit test it connects successfully.
I have been posting over the last year using Firefox FTP but am making quite a few changes and it's making me crazy going back and forth. Anyone have any ideas?

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

Whenever I left-click on a link that should give me a drop-down menu within a page the menu does not appear and I get send to the top (or bottom) of the page.

I suspect I've accidentally changed some setting but I can't figure out which one. I upgraded from 3.6.8 to 5.0 but the problem persists. Please help if you can. Thanks.

Make sure you have javascript enabled in Firefox
* use '''Firefox button -> Options |Content| [] enable javascript'''
* as explained here [[Options window - Content panel]]
* see also [[JavaScript]]
If you continue to have problems please give specific examples.
When you write messages in this forum can you see the formatting buttons above the line for links, Bold, italic & paragraph numbering.

My drop down menus made in Fireworks wont work after I put them in Dreamweaver

I am trying to make a site for my work. And I made a drop down menu within Fireworks. I pasted the code into the place I wanted it to go on Dreamweaver, then I saved the page and went into Internet Explorer. I rolled over my buttons that were supposed to be drop downs and they only work if you refresh then roll over and once you take your mouse off of it, you'd have to refresh again to see the buttons. I have tried and tried to figure this out but I just cant seem to. PLEASE HELP!

Here is the link to my page
http://lakechelanmirror.bravehost.com/
The drop down menus are supposed to be the NEWS button and MIRROR BLOG button.
I THINK this is the code for the menu..
var mmOpenContainer = null;
var mmOpenMenus = null;
var mmHideMenuTimer = null;
function MM_menuStartTimeout(hideTimeout) {
mmHideMenuTimer = setTimeout("MM_menuHideMenus()", hideTimeout);
function MM_menuHideMenus() {
MM_menuResetTimeout();
if(mmOpenContainer) {
var c = document.getElementById(mmOpenContainer);
c.style.visibility = "inherit";
mmOpenContainer = null;
if( mmOpenMenus ) {
for(var i in mmOpenMenus) {
   var m = document.getElementById(mmOpenMenus[i]);
   m.style.visibility = "hidden";
mmOpenMenus = null;
function MM_menuHideSubmenus(menuName) {
if( mmOpenMenus ) {
var h = false;
var c = 0;
for(var i in mmOpenMenus) {
   if( h ) {
    var m = document.getElementById(mmOpenMenus[i]);
    m.style.visibility = "hidden";
   } else if( mmOpenMenus[i] == menuName ) {
    h = true;
   } else {
    c++;
mmOpenMenus.length = c+1;
function MM_menuOverMenuItem(menuName, subMenuSuffix) {
MM_menuResetTimeout();
MM_menuHideSubmenus(menuName);
if( subMenuSuffix ) {
var subMenuName = "" + menuName + "_" + subMenuSuffix;
MM_menuShowSubMenu(subMenuName);
function MM_menuShowSubMenu(subMenuName) {
MM_menuResetTimeout();
var e = document.getElementById(subMenuName);
e.style.visibility = "inherit";
if( !mmOpenMenus ) {
mmOpenMenus = new Array;
mmOpenMenus[mmOpenMenus.length] = "" + subMenuName;
function MM_menuResetTimeout() {
if (mmHideMenuTimer) clearTimeout(mmHideMenuTimer);
mmHideMenuTimer = null;
function MM_menuShowMenu(containName, menuName, xOffset, yOffset, triggerName) {

MM_menuResetTimeout();
MM_menuShowMenuContainer(containName, xOffset, yOffset, triggerName);
MM_menuShowSubMenu(menuName);

Only half works in opera, menu doesn't stay visible long enough to click on it.
I'm also getting "<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%>" at the top of every page?

PLEASE HELP!! Drop Down Menu Using Photoshop Images

I have hit a brick wall in trying to work this out, and it is
killing my productivity, I just need to get through this hurdle on
this site, and I can finish it.
Quick rundown on where I'm at:
I created the website to look how I wanted in Photoshop.
After I've gotten it looking how I want, I bring it into fireworks
and slice it up (I'm sure this step can be skipped, but thats how
I'm used to it), and then I export it into Dreamweaver.
All of that is working fine, except for this drop down menu.
All I'm wanting to happen is when they roll their mouse over "firm
profile" for example, for there then to be a drop down menu that
drops below it (no animation necessary) that has 2 additional
options they can select.
I have created what the page would look like after the drop
down menu would come up (in photoshop). I've tried doing swap
images and menu bars and some scripts from the net etc etc but
nothing works. It either tries to load the drop down menu WITHIN
the slice where it says "firm profile" instead of below it, or just
messes up completely.
In fireworks, I'm able to setup a swap image where when you
put your mouse over "firm profile" it asks which slice you want the
new swap image to come up in, which would work fine EXCEPT that
when you go to select one of the bottom submenu options, the
rollover disapears. If you do it where the whole slice is switched,
then that submenu appears when you rollover where it would be, even
if you haven't first rolled over "firm profile"
So to summerize: All I want is to be able to tell it when you
put your mouse over "FIRM PROFILE" that underneath it , a drop down
menu image that I have already created pops up, and you are able to
1) select the sub menu items (urls). I feel that this should not be
anywhere near this hard.
Please help.

I just realized--and Murray correct me where I stray--I may have intimated what you want to do is not very complicated. It will be a bit involved, actually. You are probably going to have to set up an id for each menu item so that you can apply the applicable image to the link state for each button. That is to say, your images for Menu Item 1 are going to be different than for Menu Item 2, so you are going to have to code individual link states for each button rather than rely on a global state. I think you can still do what you have designed, but you will likely have much frustration getting there if you are not comfortable writing code. Perhaps what might be easier for you is to use text in the html code for each menu item and then globally apply one background image for the a: state, another for the hover state, etc.
Hope I'm making sense.

Yes that does make sense - and is exactly the thought I was coming round to.

Font Selection - Drop Down Menu Selection

Hello All,
I have a general question about the FONT selection in the menu bar in iBA that has been puzzling me.
Sometimes when I select a font within a text box and move over to the Drop Down menu within iBA the default view is the top six most recently used fonts.
At other times the font selection moves down the long list of fonts alphabetically — say to Helvetica.
I have being playing around with the key combination keys to see if holding command key or a combination will change this.
By holding down the ALT / Option key turns the FONT PREVIEW view OFF so the menu is more compressed and maybe faster to load.
Any thoughts on this would be great. I would really like to be able to jump to my top six recently used fonts by holding down a hot key rather than at random times as it seems to me right now.
Any view?
Regards,
Nigel
TOP SIX MOST RECENT FONTS
ALL THEY WAY DOWN THE LIST

I downloaded it again and reinstalled it, restarted my pc, restarted illustrator, and it still didn't work - but, with my type selected, I went to Type -> Find Font and from there I managed to change it into aurulent_sans_mono ok. but even after that I still can't select it in the other ways. It's probably just a bug but at least I've found a way round it.
thanks for trying it out

Need help fixing a CSS Drop-Down menu for IE6

Hello.
I have created an entirely CSS drop down menu for my website
which works perfect in Firefox, Safari, Opera and IE7 however when
I tested in IE6 it displayed like this -->
image
here or go to http://www.runecentral.net/index.php (Must have
/index.php as i have redirected / to the community forum.)
Here is my code

Thank you for your reply.
To answer your first question, I tried it with just one
before and it caused Internet Explorer to display the background
incorrectly so I just kept them both.
I have replaced background-image with background:
url(/img/defmenu.png) repeat-x;
But, I cannot access my XP machine until tomorrow so I cannot
view the site in IE6, if you could test it and tell me if it is the
same as the image linked to in my first post that would be great.
Kind Regards,
Perry

Drop down menu poulated by 2 db columns

I have a form where I enter information into a table. There is a drop down menu in the form where the id is connected to another table. Basically I'm pulling names from another table. I've got an id that connects fine.
However, I'd like to pull 2 columns into the one drop down menu selections. I n my other table I have a firstname and lastname column. I'd like to pull both those columns into the one drop down menu.
Ideally each line in the drop down menu would read "lastname, firstname"
Thanks in advance!
Peter T

what database are you using ?
u can simply do like this..
for example..
SELECT concat(convert(FirstName using UTF8)," - ",convert(Lastname using UTF8)) as FullName, userid
FROM employees
here i concat two fields Lastname and firstname
this is mysql specific.
if u still cannot do it
post ur table schema here i will write it for u
hope this helps.
Regards.
