Drop Down Menus on different browsers

Hi. I am a teacher and I'm making a website for my school. I just learned how to create drop down menus using html code. I checked the website on Firefox, Safari, and even Opera. Everything looks great, except for Internet Explorer. The menu at the top looks totally funky! It's in the wrong direction, the pictures are missing, etc. In addition, other things look messed up as well. Please check it out...
http://nestleweb.com
Why is this happening? I know that many people use IE, so it has to look right on this browser. Any suggestions?

I did the same thing. I provided links on the homepage so users would not use IE. But the problem is... once a user goes to IE and sees the menus and the page all messed up, he/she might just give up and not even scroll to the bottom to see the browser recommendations. I just received an email telling me that the website was messed up for a visitor.
Just venting...I am a teacher that's making the school website. Now, in my own classroom, I can tell and train my students and parents to use FF, but it's out of my control for the rest of the school and any other visitors. I'm just frustrated with the situation because everything takes so much time to make and then it looks horrible on IE! Thanks for your post. It helps to know I'm not the only one!

How can I correct the problems I've been experiencing lately with drop-down menus in general as well as and leading of text. It 's occurring on both Safari and Firefox browsers.

The above headline pretty much covers the problems.
Access to the drop down menus is erratic. Sometimes it's problem-free, but at other times it's impossible to see the options on the menu, or if they are visible, it's impossible to effect a change by clicking on one of them. The times I notice it most is when I am trying to change fonts or font sizes, but it occurs at other times, as well.
It's also frustrating to have to deal with double spacing (for example, when describing items on eBay). Sometimes the text flows normally, but if I force a return, the text that follows usually is double-spaced.
Often, the justification option does not work either.
Occasionally, I can get around one problem or another by switching back and forth between Safari and Firefox, but eventually, the original problem resurfaces.
Because it happens on both browsers, eBay tech support is inclined to think the problem is in my software. (I'm inclined to agree.)
Although they have suggested clearing the history in FF, that option must have been relocated, because it'sno longer under the "Tools" menu, where it was in the past. I also can't find the clear your cache option on OS Safari or 10.8.3.

I don't think it'd help much but clearing history is now in the History menu, and setting FF to clear history on exit is near the bottom of the Privacy tab of FF Preferences.
Also, if you don't have the Develop menu in Safari, open Safari preferences, click Advanced, and select “Show Develop menu in menu bar.” You'll find "Empty Caches" there.

Drop down menus on iPad, the first selection in the drop down will not load as a selection when using safari, what can I do?

Drop down menus on iPad, the first selection in the drop down will not load as a selection when using safari, what can I do? I use this for my mobile, on-site auto repair business and not being able to call up repair and diagnostic info and reference for some cars is troublesome for sure. It works fine on the computer and I have installed a remote desktop app as a workaround but it is unreliable because the desktop is not business dedicated and may be off or in use at the time. So is there a known fix for this?
Let me paint a more descriptive picture, visualize 4 drop down selection menus, first one is for year, next one is for make, 3rd one is model and the last one is for engine size/type. If I wanted to choose a 2012 vehicle it wont work because it is the top selection on the list. This can be forced by selecting any other year and then coming back to 2012. Ok fine, but then let's say I wanted to choose Acura as the make, well it won't take it because again it's the top selection. Again you work around it be selecting any other make and coming back to Acura. Ok now select the model, same trend follows. But now since most Acura vehicles come with dedicated engines and no optional engines I have only 1 selection in that final drop down menu and it will not take my selection and therefore never let me proceed to the info I need.
This is also true when ordering parts from my wholesaler's website, they use drop downs and I can only get to that last drop down and then I'm stuck. This is blindingly frustrating, what options do I have. I'm not opposed to any avenue at this point.

Did you ever figure this out? I bought my iPad last week to use in my business as well. I assume you are trying to use alldata? That is where I noticed this same issue. I had problems with identifix working with safari but downloaded a different browser and that works fine. Alldata does not work with either browser. The main difference is that on identifix if there is only one engine selection, it automatically selects the only option and continues to the home page. With alldata you have to make the selection manually even if there is only one option. Honestly if I can't get this to work I am going to return the iPad as it looses a significant amount of usefulness to men

Drop down menus disappear in a blink of an eye. If I open more than 10 tabs I can't get to them, the arrow takes me back to the first 10. Only in FF, IE works fine. Tried safe mode and no change. It was fine one day and then not the next?

drop down menus don't work...they disappear in a blink of an eye. This only happens in FF not IE? That includes the menu below! I can't have more than 10 tabs open because the arrow won't take me past 10 it just returns to the first 10???

Right-click, drop-down menus in Firefox 15 cause entire Mac OS 10.7.4 system to hang, forcing manual reboot.

I bought a new MacBook Pro.
I am running Mac OS 10.7.4 with Firefox 15. Every time I right click or try to use a drop-down menu in Firefox, it causes the entire system to hang, forcing a manual reboot.
No crash reports are available as the Firefox does not actually crash.
I have tried
1.) Starting Firefox in safe mode
2.) Disabling all the add-ons
3.) Resetting Firefox
4.) Removing and re-installing Firefox
5.) Disabling hardware acceleration
The problem still occurs.
This is critical a critical issue as I have been using Firefox's Zotero plugin to write my PhD dissertation which is about 50% complete and now I cannot use Firefox or the Zotero plugin and have about 800 references I do not want to have to manually re-enter!! Also it is preventing me from continuing work on the dissertation as I am unable to insert references, and I have submit this thing by March!!!!

Ok, further developments. Still can't get Firefox to work; it makes Lion hang and I have to force a reboot. I tried using terminal to open FF's profile manager, delete my old profile and make a new one. Same problem.
I tried making a new user account in Mac OS, and doing another fresh install of Firefox. It worked! I was able to use drop down menus and right click without crashing the system!
However, as soon as I installed the Zotero plugin... the same issue started occurring again.
Dear programmers, please help me. It will literally take me weeks of work to re-do all of my citations using a different software or manually. There must be a way to fix this problem!

Presentation Director Monitor Drop Down Menus Blank

I'm trying to get Presentation Director functioning properly, but there are a couple of screwy things going on:
If I check the properties of the "Capture" profile, it has the resolution of external monitor incorrect. (1920 x 1200 Vs Captured 1024X768). Yes, even after re-capturing.
When I go to edit a profile, the drop-down menus for both the built-in LCD and external monitor for resolution and color quality are blank. Both the standing values and the contents of the drop-downs are blank.
(I'd post a picture, but the work firewall won't let me get to any image hosting options.)
Relevant Info:
W510
nvidia Quadro FX 880M
Newest nvidia drivers
Newest presentation director (4.62)
Got rid of nvidia NView crapware, but the NVidia desktop manager is still present. It actually recognizes the proper resolutions for each display, but doesn't have any good way of quickly switching display setups like PD does.
Any suggestions?

I assumed you were running XP. This video driver persistency feature is implemented on XP as well as Vista/Win7. I don't know why the PD settings are blank.
For your first two scenarios, you should be able to configure that one time manually and then have the video driver automatically remember the settings as you connect and disconnect the display. First, with no monitor connected, configure the TPLCD how you want it. Then connect the monitor and configure both it and the TPLCD how you want them. Then disconnect the monitor and the TPLCD should automatically revert to the settings you specified when the monitor wasn't connected. Then reconnect the monitor and the settings for both monitor and TPLCD should revert to the settings you specified when the monitor was connected previously. Have you tried it? This is a very common configuration scenario that I know many customers are using successfully without the assistance of PD or any other software.
For your last two scenarios, you will just need to experiment to see if the the persistency works or not, like I said it depends on how old the projectors are. If it doesn't work, or if you are frequently connecting to different projectors, then you should be able to use PD for the projector ONLY! don't try to use PD to control the TPLCD.

Help with actionscripting multiple drop-down menus

So I have 3 different drop down menus that I want to use, and I want them to all work together so that if I have drop down menu number one open, the 2nd menu will drop down while the 1st one is still down.
(I'm using Flash cs3)
Here are some screen shorts:

Photoshop CS6. Windows and Mac pop-up/drop down menus

Hi guys!
I have a problem with pop-up menus in CS6 (13.0.5) and ACR (white balance) under Mac OS 10.8.5.
I have been working with photoshop on PC under Windows for the years. I recently had to switch to CS6 on Mac.
I can no longer place my cursor in the Photo Filter preset mode (or ACR white balance presets) field and use arrow keys to quickly toggle through different presets/modes to find the ideal mode.
I know that with Shift+ an Shift- one can toggle between blend modes (Layers). But these keyboard combinations do not work for Photo Filter and other pop-up/drop down menus.
I used to be able to preview a lot of filters (or other modes) in seconds to choose the optimal. Now I have to click this button and click again on each photo filter. This is lengthening enormous the process.
On my Mac, I can certainly click in the menu and use the arrow key to go up and down but what that does not do is apply the blend mode, unless I also press Return. But pressing Return kicks you out of the menu so you have to start the click/arrow/Enter cycle again, which is a long way just to try the next blend mode.
It is very annoying. Please help! Thank you very much!

New Drop-down Menus Not Picking Up Styling

I have a Muse site with pages and drop-down menus.
I have stylized top-level pages, and also the drop down menus for the secondary pages.
I was under the impression that once a drop-down menu was stylized, any new drop-down menus created by adding secondary pages to a different top-level page would inherit the same stylization as the first drop-down. But, that does not happen. Yes, I have Edit Together selected in the options panel.

Drop down menus and swf files

Here's the site:
http://www.oldshoecreative.com/CLS/
In IE, I cannot seem to get the drop down menus to appear in
front of the swf files that runs below them. I've tried the "wmode"
and "transparent" settings which work fine in Firefox, but I can't
get it right in IE. Any help would be appreciated.

I had to insert code seperately for IE and one for other
browsers. Here's the code:
<div id="webflashxmedia">

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent(
'type','application/x-shockwave-flash','data','clsmedia/webflash.swf','width','765','heig ht','141','wmode','transparent','bgcolor','#FFFFFF','movie','clsmedia/webflash'
); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="clsmedia/webflash.swf"
width="765" height="141"><param name="wmode"
value="transparent" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"
/><param name="movie" value="clsmedia/webflash.swf" />
</object></noscript>

Drop Down Menus Aren't Dropping Down!

Hey and thanks in advance for any assistance!
I had to update my drop down menus in DW CS4. I made the necessary changes, tested it on my computer and proceeded to update every template, then every page on the site.
No problems as the menus worked fine on my computer, even after refreshing the pages.
The problem lies that on every other computer in our office, the menus don't drop down, but extend horizontally across the page and off the screen now.
My computer - drop downs.
Other computers - horizontal mess.
Here is our site!
Suggestions?
This was my first revision of the menus since I upgraded to CS4 (which I find more difficult). The code view on my index page had about 9 lines of space between each menu line, so I took that out. Could that have caused a problem?
On a different note, in my viewing pane - my "page window" extends behind my folder view and I can't scroll up or down without minimizing the folders. Also the properties view used to fit nicely below the page window and beside the folders window, but now it extends behind the folders panel and I can't seem to fix this.
And don't get me started on why DW would eliminate the ability to change colors without having to make styles! I still haven't figured out how to do that yet.
Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Okay, I've tried that and it didn't work. But even better, DW CS4 kept locking up (giving me the 'white screen of death') and closing down. When I tried to open DW again, it went through the motions and "disappeared" - would not finish the process.
So I rebooted and tried again. Same thing. I reinstalled DW CS4 and it appeared to install fine. I opened it up, the screen came up, it loaded the cache, scanned my 2600+ folders and pages . . . and disappeared.
Bottom line I can't access Dreamweaver. It's always locked up on me (a couple of times a day), but it's never been this buggy. I don't know if it's a compatibility issue with Win 7 or what. I'm seriously thinking of going back to MX as I dislike CS4 so much right now.
As I said before, I never-never-never had these problems before I upgraded to CS4. Right now my feelings for DW are not in a good place!
Thanks for trying anyway. If you have any suggestions, I'm more than open to them!

Drop down menus not working

Hi, I am using DVDSP2.0.0 - it has been working fine for ages then suddenly about half of the drop down menus have stopped working - for example if I go to the "First Play" drop down menu in the "Disc" window and click on it - it goes blank. Any help on this would be much appreciated. NB: I recently did a software update including going up to OSX 10.11.4 and also a Pro application support update.

No-one from Apple, apart from the moderators, reads this forum. If you need to send feedback about a product there are alternative places to do so, which will be more effective than ranting here.
V2 has been quite a long time outdated now, and I don't think it is unreasonable to update your software to keep up with the developments in the OS. The software depends on Quicktime for a lot of the things it does, but changes to the QT architecture with successive OS updates are not backwardly compatible with older QT releases. QT6 is a different beast to QT7, for example. The only way to reliably keep older software running is to not update the OS.
That said, I do still occasionally see if DVDSP v1 still runs and the machine I have that on has 10.4.x on it... yet I installed it at 10.0.x, I believe. Amazing really, but then it is a different set of code to v2.
The other thing to consider when menu entries go AWOL is whether or not you have any font management software running, and if you have inadvertently turned off any fonts which the software uses.
Finally, if you have the older OS on a disc, can you not simply downgrade until such time as you get to a point where the upgraded FC Suite makes sense for you?

Drop Down Menus in iTunesConnect are non functional

When I login to iTunesConnect (tried multiple browsers, clearing cache, etc) it says I have to approve the contract. When I go to contracts it says I have to chose a legal entity from the drop down menu. The menu is empty. When I try to add myself to the menu, it says I've already been added and I should choose myself from the drop down menu.
When I go to contact us, there is a drop down menu asking what the nature of my inquiry is. The menu is blank.
There is no place on iTunesConnect to submit a book for publishing. (Maybe this option appears after the contract has been approved?)
Nowhere in iTunesConnect are the drop down menus populated. They are all empty. And, therefore, completely useless.
What should I do?
(My iTunesConnect, by the way, if that's necessary information.)
<Email Edited by Host>

Apart from your other problems.... if you are using iBooksAuthor - you do not "publish" using iTunesConnect.
You use iTunesProducer which can be downloaded from your iTunesConnect > Delivery your Content page.. but not until after December28th.
On the missing functions in Drop Down menus, unless you have a fault of corrupted files... greyed out items in Drop Down menu usually indicate its because their part of a procedure is not open for you to use because an early part of the process is not yet submitted.
Apple are shut down until after the 28th of December, so that's is also another reason the menu items are not available. You will need to wait a few days and check again.
BTW.. although they have been edited out... its not advisable to put on display any account information that could help the unscrupulous to gain advantage.

Drop Down Menus for iWeb: Will They EVER Come?

I've got several websites that I need to update, and frankly probably rebuild from scratch.
I am considering moving them to iWeb. However, the ONLY reason I have not switched over yet is the unavailability of easy WYSIWYG drop down menus for iWeb. It's safe to say that if there was a seamlessly integrated way to create these, I would have started publishing at least four different sites with iWeb...YEARS ago.
So, now, faced with the choice again, the drop down menus question is before me again.
Please understand: I know and understand the various ways they can be manually created. That's now what I'm asking.
What I'm asking is for people's opinion: What's the likelihood that Apple will ever add this functionality to iWeb itself?
If so, any likelihood of this happening soon?
Because if they don't, I then have to make a choice to go through the long and arduous task of manually creating the menus for several sites (and making sure their perfect before we "go live" with the new versions...) And I'll have to weigh whether or not I want to bother with that.
Obviously, I am intentionally asking for your conjectures, unless some of you would like to dish on stuff you know.
Thanks in advance.

iWeb is discontinued, so the likelihood that it gets the menus you want is rather slim.
And yes, there is a seamless way to add them.
