Drop Down Menus Too Long - bottom part is hidden
When I click on a drop down menu like to file or save, the menu is too long and I can't see what's at the bottom. These are instructions like Save, Accept, Cancel etc. It wasn't always like this, but it has been for a few months now. I don't see any adjustments to make. It is this way in Safari, Mail, and all other applications.
Can you help?
A right click should keep them open until you mouse click again. There is no time limit.
Go to /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and delete that file then log out and back in or restart. Your menu bar should return to default.
Let us know.

Drop down menus no longer work on many sites after upgrade to ios 5.
On my iPad and iPhone I'm having trouble on a number of sites with drop down menus. When you click on the menu, it immediately selects the default option instead of allowing the menu to drop and then select one. Any way to fix this?
Thanks,
BillObviously you are referring to web sites using Safari???? If it happens on both devices - iPad and iPhone - that seems rather odd to me.
Try all of the basics .... Resetting the iPad may be your first best bet ....
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Why are my slide shows disappearing and drop down menus not working?
I have a huge problem with clients currently waiting on a response from us.
We have created a website with MUSE, we have implemented slideshows and drop down menus which work fine when you preview them.
HOWEVER, once we put an editor in place for the client to then input their content onto the website, all of the slideshows disappear and the drop down menus no longer work!?
What do I do to rectify this problem??
Thanks GuysThis actually did work... But, I have figured out that the issue is really in IE7... and for whatever reason the code was making IE8 go into compatability mode (essentially using IE7).

Can you make drop down menus and can you make hyperlinks to parts of a page
I was just wondering if it is posable to make drop down menus on iweb and if it is possible to make hyperlinks on the same page to another part of the page because the page is very long.
if it is posable to make drop down menus on iweb
No. You have to make them yourself. Search this forum :

I ran Advanced System Care3 disk optimizer program on my computer and now the drop down menus in Firefox open too fast. Mostly in the Bookmarks menu with nested folders. I went into the registry and changed all the "MenuShowDelay" data values back to 400(which were changed to 200 by the program. All the other windows programs drop down menus went back to the original speeds and are fine. Firefox did not change back to it's original delay speed. Where is the registry entry or configuration file for Firefox? How can I slow the menu down?
Thanks,

I recently updated to the newest version of Flash (17.0.0.134) and I have a MacBook Air, running OS X and I have Safari version 8.0.4. Ever since the update I can no longer select drop down menus or get Netflix to run properly. Has anyone else had this issue/know how to resolve it?
1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
Press “Delete All” button under “Browsing Data and Settings”.
2. Install Adobe Flash Player.
System Preferences > Flash Player > Updates
Press the “Check Now” button.

Download it and quit Safari from Safari menu in the menu bar.
Follow the prompts to install Adobe Flash Player. -
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>

The drop down menus in Photoshop CC 2014 are too small to read without using the magnifier. They are OK in Photoshop CC. I have been unable to find anyplace to adjust the font size. I have Windows 7 Pro. Looking at the Photoshop version history, it looks like this problem comes and goes as Photoshop is updated. It should be an easy fix.
Try the Photoshop CC 2014 Preference experimental section 2X UI option

Drop down menus fade off too quick
This is a real pain. I only get three seconds before drop down menus dissapear. This is a real problem when selecting from a long list of options.
I'm sure there must be a setting for this somewhere, but I'm damned if I can find it.
Anyone know how to change this?A right click should keep them open until you mouse click again. There is no time limit.

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.

How do i get my drop down menus to stay open longer
how do i get my drop down menus to stay open longer
In fact, once one is down, moving the mouse over other menubar options drops those down and raises the other.
-
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.callthescribe wrote:

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. -
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.hi Rina!

Making drop down menus in server side includes
Can drop down menus be part of a server side include? If not,
how do I have drop down menus in my pages without copying the code
to all the pages individually?
I am working in Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac. I've made the drop
down menus using the behaviors window. Everything is fine in the
original html file. When I use the file as an include in my main
page, the javascript drop downs do not work. I have the style sheet
used in the drop down file attached to the main page. What do I
need to do with the main page to have the drop down menu work? I
need to use this drop down on the majority of my pages. Thanks!
Note: I've taken out the extra code in the include file

Drop down menus and image loading
Hi there,
I have an idea on my site to display photos for consumers to purchase. What I have is 2 drop down menus, the first one has a list of the galleries, the second has a list of the photos. When you select a gallery a corresponding list of photos for that gallery appears in the second drop down menu. That part I've got under control. After that, the user is supposed to press a "Check Picture" button and the picture they have selected is supposed to come up in another small window so they can double check that they the photo they want is the one they are ordering. Firstly I wanted the photo to appear in an applet that I had at the top of the screen but that seemed WAY too difficult so I decided on just having it load up in a new window scaled down to just fit the pic.
The code for the "Check Picture" button is this:
<input type="button" name="Button1" value="Check Picture" onclick="WinOpen()">
but I'm having trouble with the WinOpen() function.
Because of the two drop down menus I've had to put this code in:
var groups=document.doublecombo.example.options.length
var group=new Array(groups)
for (i=0; i<groups; i++)
group=new Array()
group[0][0]=new Option("-Select A Picture-")
group[0][1]=new Option("")
group[0][2]=new Option("")
group[1][0]=new Option("Barrel Shed","photos/gallery1/barrelshed.jpg")
group[1][1]=new Option("Cafe Jojo","photos/gallery1/cafejojo.jpg")
group[1][2]=new Option("Close Up","../photos/gallery1/closeup.jpg")
...that I got from a tutorial (but of course I don't really understand it.)
Is there a way that in the WinOpen function I can have something like...
window.open("../photos/gallery1/"PicValue".jpg","DisplayImage","menubar=no");
and then down with the options part I can include a value that corresponds to each picture.
...or am I going in the completely wrong direction and there is a much easier way that somebody knows of.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
PeterNot too sure as this is a JavaScript question but I'll give it a shot.
You should try to get the value (which appears to contain a URL) from the second drop-down form element. Not sure what it's called but if you look at the second select element it should have a name associated with it (I've assumed it's called example2).
url = document.doublecombo.example2.value;
window.open(url, "Display Image", "menubar=no");But as I said, I'm not sure.
