Drop-down menus wig out, have to type backwards in address bar, etc.

When opening firefox, I noticed that my bookmarks were missing. I went to the drop-down menu to select view and the screen started scrolling all of the drop-down menus. I then moved onto the address bar and the cursor started moving to the beginning of the bar. When I typed in my address info, it would put the next letter in front of the last letter making my text enter in backwards from what I was typing.
My first thought is I have a virus, but my pc is protected. Firefox is the only program being affected. I can use IE explorere, but that is taking a step backwards in my opinion. I need this fixed asap. Help!!!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

Using Javascript to require 2 drop down menus to have something selected

Hi everyone. I'm trying to get 2 drop down menus to each have something selected when the form is submitted. I'm using javascript for this, but I can't get it to work. Basically, if one is blank and the other one isn't, I want an error to pop up saying they have to fill in the one that is blank and vice versa. What am I doing wrong? Here's what I have for the javascript and on the form below. My 2 drop down names are Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Initials and Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Rev. Thanks for anyone's help!

Eddie,
   I actually got this javascript below to work so if one drop down is left blank, and the other one is filled out, an error will pop up saying to entering either some initials or a rev. The only problem is that I have a dynamic list of drop downs in rows, so I need this javascript to run for each row. If I do the 1st row with 1 drop down selected and the other not, it gives me the error, which is perfect. But if I want the 2nd row to error out, for instance, doing the same thing, the error will not pop up. How do I make this work so it does this for each row since the list of drop downs is dynamic? My drop down menu names are Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Initials and Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Rev.
<script type="text/javascript">
                    function verify() {
                        var Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Initials = document.getElementById('Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Initials');
                        var Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Rev = document.getElementById('Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Rev');
                        if(Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Initials.selectedIndex == '' && Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Rev.selectedIndex != '') {
                            alert('select Initials!');
                            return false;
else if(Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Rev.selectedIndex == '' && Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Initials.selectedIndex != '') {
                            alert('select a Rev!');
                            return false;

Drop down menus keep flickering out, what's wrong?

Whenever I click on the button on the Firefox toolbar and then start scrolling down, as soon as I want to go into a folder or press a button the drop down menu flickers out and then I have to go back to the toolbar and start again.
Any future answerer please keep in mind that I am talking about the browser itself, not a web site.
I have the latest version of Firefox for Mac and this only started happening a few days ago. Pleas help.

I had this same issue. Dual screen, right side screen drop down menus flicker out, left side screen operates normally.
Dell PC
Windows 7
Firefox 16 (just updated today)
All Java applets up to date
I dug around and found a resolution to this problem. It's been a problem since 5.0. I have 16.0 and it still is an issue. My drop down menus go wonky, flickering, and can't be seen or legible.
The resolution I found had me fighting for the resolution because it lacked detailed steps so I'll post them here.
1. Point to "start", ''click''.
2. Point to "Search programs and files" box and type "run" in that box, HIT ENTER.
3. With "Run" dialogue box open, type in "sysdm.cpl", CLICK "OK" button
4. In the "System Properties" dialogue box, CLICK on the "Advanced" tab.
5. Under the "Advanced" tab, in the "Performance" section, CLICK on the "Settings..." button.
6. Under this "Performance Options" dialogue box, under the "Visual Effects" tab, select the radio button next to "Adjust for best appearance". CLICK the "apply" button.
7. Lastly, under these options is a box with visual options. CLICK on the check box to remove the check next to "Show shadows under windows". CLICK "apply" button again.
This worked for me.

Drop down menus, context menus and auto fill menus items don't appear!

I have FF4 beta, this started since FF4 beta 7. I work on Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
The problem is that I can't see drop down menus unless they have alot of items, nor context menus (like highlighting a text then right-clicking it), auto fill bars don't show the auto fill info entered before .. the menu itself appears, kinda. but it's transparent and the I can't see the items, don't know where to click to select the thing I want.
I haven't got this problem before 4.0b7 .. after I got it, I thought it was one of the plugins, so I disabled them all but still have the problem!
An image describing the problem is here, taken now on this page, I highlighted a text, and right-clicked it: [http://imgur.com/e9juh.png here] you can see the menu is somehow appearing, surrounded by the red border, but I can't see it!

Hardware accelaration disabled also worked for me. ATI Radeon 4670.
Seems the issue isn't set on one type of card. My flicker/vanish only did so on my secondary monitor.

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, please help...

Hi all,
I am very new with this.
Is it possible to have drop down menus for navigation?
For example, is it possible to use the tabs and have other links under the tabs? (drop down menus)
What I have been doing is using the HTML Portlet and writing javascript code for the menus. I am assuming that there should be an easier way to do this.
Where can I find more portlets?
I have used other CMS before such as Dot Net Nuke and there are a lot of different modules avaialable for DNN. Is there a place that I can check out for this CMS that has tutorials, or different portlets?
I would really appreciate it if any one can help me with this.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello,
In APEX 2.0 and greater there are built in list templates with built in dropdown navigation.
Just use a list instead of tabs, you can even make a list that perfectly mirror tabs that's how the tabs in the APEX builder itself are built.
Look at the top navigation here http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:5 it is an example of a slightly customized list with dropdown template.

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.

Options>options>Advanced, '''deselect '''"use hardware acceleration when available"

I bought pages on the app store and have math type installed. However I am do not have the option to "Insert Mathtype Equations" either with right click or the drop down menus at the top of the screen.

I bought pages on the app store and have math type installed. However I am do not have the option to "Insert > Mathtype Equations" either with right click or the drop down menus at the top of the screen. I also have OS Lion installed if this makes any difference. Please help!

I assume but I can't check that MathType rely on the standard iWork applications location which isn't the one used by the mac App Store.
Create a subfolder named iWork '09 in the Applications folder.
Select the iwork applications which you own then drag them into the iWork '09 folder.
You will be asked to type your password. Don't worry, it's normal.
It's required because the System must store the infos describing the new location so that, if a new revision is delivered, mac App Store will be able to find the apps where they are.
When this will be done, try to re-install MathType.
I guess that this time it will behave flawlessly.

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.

You got me beat by 3 yrs.

I have created a Fireworks nav bar with drop down menus. Can't get the weblinks to save.

I have been trying to add the web addresses in my Fireworks nav bar drop down menus. I can't get them to "take". I add the address, click done and some of them save and some don't. I am pulling my hair out! HELP!

the easiest way is constructing your menu with frame labels
now i have no way of knowing how you are constructing it ..so
this may not work for you ...i assume that you have created a main
button ...that has been converted into a symbol & then
duplicated to create all other buttons
okay here it goes ..i hope i dont confuse you
i will explain how to create 1 button with 4 submenu items
with the trems that i mentioned above
but iam not going to explain all the details of creating a
whole nav bar
because it just takes too much typing ...i assume you already
know this
sooo ! ...lets say this is the Portfoio button ...inside the
symbol now
create 8 layers ...the order is going from top to bottom
actions
labels
submenu Logos
submenu Illustration
submenu Animation
submenu Coolstuff ."you will name your button items how you
like" ...
main button....lets just say Portfolio !
invisible btn for main button
so now on with the hard stuff
create 20 frames ...stop action on frame 1 ...frame 9
...frame 20
on the labels layer now ....name frame1 "Closed" ...frame 10
"Open"
on the submenu Logos layer ...create a keyframe on frame 10
all frames before the 10th frame will be blank frames
repeat that for the rest of the submenu items
on the main button layer you will just place the main
Portfolio button on frame 1
& on the invisible button layer ..the inv btn is going to
be placed on frame 10
all this is iam hoping your have converted everything into1
symbol
all you need to do know is attach code to the main Portfolio
button & the invisible button
so click on the Portfolio button
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndStop("open");
invisible button
on (rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("closed");
& that should be good ...very simple !
then just repeat this process for every button that makes up
your nav bar ....& it doesn't matter if your inv buttons
overlap each other or your main nav buttons are touching each other
peace John

It has something to do with Segoe fonts in your Windows system.

Reader drop-down menus have invisible content

I'm running 9.4.7 on Ubuntu 11.10. The Reader drop-down menus either have no text in them or the text is the same colour as the background. I've tried changing the Ubuntu theme but the problem remains.

Found an option to make the workaround permanent.
Run Terminal.
Paste this "cd /etc/X11/Xsession.d" (no quotes).
A edit file would open separately.
Paste this "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY="acroread":$UBUNTU_MENUPROXY" in the Editor window.
Save the File.
Exit Terminal.
Do a fresh Login.
The menu option would appear below the Taskbar but would be working.

Have the drop-down menus in Muse been fixed?

I recently had a problem with Adobe Muse (Case #0183888983). I was emailed the information that the problem, malfunctioning drop-down menus in my site, had now been fixed. In the meantime I decided on my own to access an earlier version of Muse through Time Machine and then re-save and publish the Muse site with this earlier version. I'm afraid I don't dare open up the Muse site in this fixed version in case it doesn't work as described, and then I have to go through the tedious process again. So there's no way I can tell if my site would function with the new fixed Muse. The next time I create a new site, I'll be able to determine whether the bug has been fixed.

Muse 3.1 did fix a couple of issues with menu bars.
http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/release-note/adobe-muse-release-notes.html
If you could be more specific about the problem you were seeing, someone could probably confirm if 3.1 fixes it.
