Drop Down Menus problem with DHTML in Navigator 6

I realized that Navigator6 does not support "layer" architecture anymore. So, I need to modify the code like following. I think Navigator6 supports "style" instead, but could not find any documentaion in Netscape website what type of DOM they support. Could you advise me where I should look at or how I can modify the code.
Thank you for your time..

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.

Problem with drop down menus in firefox 4

when I scroll over a drop down menu, for example when I right click and put the cursor over one of the options it goes black. If I scroll over one of the menu bar drop down menus as I move over one of the options it stays highlighted in gray. I am running firefox 4 and have already tried turning on the menu bar and turning off hardware acceleration

Problems using drop down menus in safari v7

I am having problems using drop down menus in safari v7. e.g. on the BMW used cars website (http://usedcars.bmw.co.uk), there's a drop down box for location. This only goes up to 50 miles on my macbook but goes up to national on my iPad. Any ideas?

Thanks Peter, Dale. Looks like it is back to the drawing board for me then!
I tried to import it through MS Word but iPad doesn't support the document. Looking into converting document into a Numbers spreadsheet as it has drop down boxes but unfortunately need to buy the £6.99 numbers app for iPad to make it worthwhile. Might just stick to good old fashioned "cross out the answers that don't apply" using pen and paper..................

My Drop Down Menus Do Not Work Properly in IE

Hey. I'm really stuck and have been for over a week. Let me preface this by telling you I didn't build our website and have little knowledge of spry and spry assets. I can't the get the gentleman that built our site to help and I'm desperate!
The site - www.ncsoccer.org , has drop down menus. They work fine in Chrome, FF and Live Preview (DW CS4). But in IE8, they do not.
I had to revise the drop downs (changing names and removing some drop downs - I've done this with no problem before). When I uploaded the index page and the template pages, the error started.
In addition, the people in my office that use Contribute to update their sections, cannot access anything but our index page and I don't know what (if anything) I've done wrong, as everything worked fine before the menu revision.
I'm including the 'sprymenubarhorizontal.css" code below. Maybe you can see something that isn't right.
Thanks for any insight or suggestions. Remember, asking me to create to create sprys or widgets or something like that may be over my head! Try to dumb it down for me!
Thanks.

A;though the CSS is very well documented, there are those that ignore those signs. Look at the following
/* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are a fixed width */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 100%;
    position: relative;
    text-align: left;
    cursor: pointer;
    width: auto;
    float: left;
The rest have been given a width of 15em, so this value may be a good start.
DESIGN INFORMATION: describes color scheme, borders, fonts
/* Submenu containers have borders on all sides */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
    border: 1px solid #CCC;
   width: auto;
    background-attachment: fixed;
Just keep the border property and remove the other two.

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???

Gmail drop-down menus (Move to, Labels) and emails and Facebook chat will not open.

I am unable to open emails in standard Gmail. Emails can be opened after switching to the basic html version. I am also unable to use the drop-down menus, such as "Move to" or "Labels." The button turns gray, but the options do not appear.
Facebook chat is giving me a similar problem. When I click "Chat" in the bottom left, it acts as though it's trying to load but does not open up to reveal friends.
I have tried the following: deleting cookies, reinstalling Java, updating my vid card drivers, and uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox
Scans for viruses and spyware have yielded no results. I use AVG, Spybot, and Malwarebytes. The Gmail emails and menus will open in IE8.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Lost all the text in my drop down menus

All of a sudden I do not see any text in my drop down menus or on pop-ups. I tried to open Safari and got the pop up menu with a yellow triangle with a black exclamation point in it. It also had the three buttons at the bottom - one was blue - but no words.
I can open Firefox but not Safari. I can open the System Preferences widget but all I see are the icons, not the names of the choices. No matter what application is open I do not see any words in the dropdown menu.
First I tried zapping the PRAM. Didn't work. Then I booted from the startup disk and ran the disk repair utility, it repaired several things, but I'm still having the problem.
The font on my menu bar has changed too.
I installed x11 two days ago - not from the startup disk but from a website a friend helped me find when I didn't have my disk with me. I also installed Open Office. Should I uninstall those?
Is it possible I got a virus?? I have no clue how to deal with a virus on a Mac. I haven't had any trouble with my iBook since I got it in November 2005, and I don't know any tricks.

my apologies, i'm guessing from your name that you might be from a non-english-speaking location ... if so, check to see if this is an issue for you (also see other posts in the thread):

My 27 inch imac has just started acting weird, the thumbnail images and folder on the desktop have disappeared although the titles are still visible. When I open a programme the programme windows are all black and the drop down menus just show random

When I tried to open the web browser the browser flashed black and white at start up, then all the applications when i open a new window are completely black, I am unable to view the drop down menus as the come out as random pixels. This happens to all new applications i have been able to open. The document window opens as plain white but if you click on it it opens a document even though you cant see any thumb nails. Some of the documents are open as normal images/files. Having been a mac user for 10 years i have never seen anything like this before, any ideas or suggestions

I have started running a virus check.
There are no viruses for OSX. Uninstall the software, repair permissions and restart your computer. Especially if it's Norton's. It's known to cause problems.
To rule out a hardware problem, run the hardware test: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11342 OS X Mountain Lion: Use Apple Hardware Test and zapp the PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11342 OS X Mountain Lion: Use Apple Hardware Test.
In the end you may need to lug your iMac down to your local AASP or an AS. Diagnostic testing is FREE!
i have had a mac in fact it is 17 years.
You got me beat by 3 yrs.

DW Pop-Up / Drop-Down Menu Problems

Hi. I am new to this forum and I am not a pro web designer
(but am proficient with web / graphic design software), so bear
with me...
I am using Dreamweaver MX and Fireworks MX (not the 2004
versions) to re-design a new website for my photography biz (I am,
of course, using PhotoShop for some graphics/images too).
I want to use a horizontal navigation bar (with 9 buttons)
and drop-down menus on the new site.
My first attempt was to design the nav bar in FW and export
it into DW (preferably into a Template). The nav bar design (w/
drop-down menus) in FW was simple. Exporting was also simple.
However, I experienced major problems when inserting the "piece"
into a FW document (I use "tables" and not "frames"; no CSS nor
Flash).
Once the nav bar is inserted into a DW table, it doesn't work
in the Browser (latest version of Safari; I use a Mac PowerBook).
Some times, it did work, but most others, it did not. FRUSTRATING.
I then decided to simply design the nav bar "buttons" in FW
(with simple roll-over to change text color / size on each button)
and realized that DW can also do Drop-Down / Pop-Up menus. This was
successful at first, but now when I try to insert numerous buttons
into a DW document (multi-row and column table), I get the same
result in that the d-d menus do not work when viewing in the
browser (but the roll-over text effect does work). STILL
FRUSTRATING.
I have also tried to save the nav bar / buttons as Library
Items, but to no avail. This is rather important should I decide to
one day change the navigation on the site (it will have over 25
pages to start with).
I have been on the Adobe site and have read numerous tech
reports to try and solve this. I have also come across a few notes
on this forum, so decided to give it a shot. Quite simply:
1. Am I wasting my time using an older version of DW and FW
(even though I have no interest in using fancy Flash stuff and have
no interest in being a pro web designer; I do want to do my own
site and maintain it though...). Should I upgrade to Version 8 of
the suite?
2. I see that some third-party software is available to do
Drop-Down menus. Should I take this route? Will these extensions
work in the older version of DW?
3. My nav bar will be relatively simple, both in appearance
and functionality. So, I do not need any extravagant type of
software. Can anyone recommend something for me?
4. The following link is the only attempt that I had at
getting the nav bar to operate both locally on my browser and
uploaded on to my host server. I am not 100% happy with the
appearance, but when I went to change it, I had the same problems
detailed above (i.e., it didn't work). This example was done with
FW into DW. It was simply a test (to see if uploading the page on
to the server would get the drop-downs to work), so none of the
links have been inserted into the menu selection tabs.

Thanks for your help. Sorry about the long message, but I
wanted to include enough detail such that you wouldn't have to come
back to me for numerous questions...

Depending on your expertise level, DMX may be all you you
need. But where
you are wasting your time is by fiddling with these awful
pop-up menus.
Those who understand them left them behind when they were
first introduced.

Yes, and yes, and don't think twice about doing it! Use the
PVII methods or
commercial products. They are what you need.

If really simple, check even the MiniMenus from

Why are drop down menus on webpages in Safari no longer working? I have iphone4 ios6.0.1. Is there a fix?

Since I updated to 6.0, the drop down menus on the web pages I use in Safari on my iphone 4 are no longer working. The drop down appears and then quickly disappears so that you can't select anything. Is there a fix? One example is http://www.scvavolleyball.org/ I need to select Juniors>Girls>Weekend Sites but I can't on my phone....but I used to be able to....and I still can on my ipod touch. Help.

The current release supports the white-space property for a text area and it is possible that the website uses white-space: pre instead of white-space: pre-wrap.
The former will prevent Firefox from wrapping the text.
You can check that in the Inspector via the right-click context menu.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Page_Inspector
See:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/36#CSS
<blockquote>The white-space property is now working on <textarea> HTML elements (bug 82711).</blockquote>

Drop down menus on certain websites (ie ESPN) are no longer working on Firefox but work with both Chrome and IE on same computer so I believe its Firefox issue.

I tried updating Firefox to 19 and then even the Beta 20 version. I have rebooted computer countless times. On the same computer, I can open IE and bring up ESPN and the drop down menus work fine so I know its not a computer issue and it must have something to do Firefox. I tried the "starting in safe mode" and disabling add ons because I saw those suggestions but that didnt work. I also tried unchecking the box about hardware acceleration because I saw that suggested also and needless to say that didnt work either. Can someone please please help me, its very frustrating.

The menu on the ESPN site is generated via JavaScript, so make sure that you aren't blocking JavaScript if the menus aren't working.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
