Drop downs disappear behind a shockwave software object (SWF)

I am having my drop downs disappear behind an swf file. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Flash always rises to the top.

IMO, the most reliable cross-browser solution is to move the drop-down menu away from competing Flash objects.

Email address list populated drop down disappearing on the to / cc / bcc fields when composing emails

First the symptoms:
As far as I can see this effects only the v5.0 RIM OS. We have a multitude of users and the ones who are affected all shared the same trait: they had newer, v5.0 OS preinstalled on their BBerries. The ones with v4.7 never had the problem (might be a coinsidence, nothing solid here)
The user cannot see a drop down of email addresses prepopulated with the recently used ones, and with the option to "lookup" the email address. User starts typing the email address, and no drop down is shown while composing email.
If the user manually types in the email address into the To, Cc or BCc fields, the adress will not be permanent and the email will not be sent at all. The "send" menu item will not be visible when the track ball is pressed.
Quick remedy to send emails:
Hit the enter key after typing in the email address. Do NOT switch to the next row using the track ball, or pressing the trackball. Hit the enter key. Then you will be able to send the email.
Backing up the user files and wiping the handset and re-installing the OS seems to resolve the issue, alas, one user had the same problem again in a month after the operation. So that is NOT a permanent solution.
Funny fix: On the affected device, go to email options -> Options / General Options / "Show recent contacts when composing email" and just switch it to whatever is in there. If it is Yes, make it No, if it is No, make it yes. Then save. And the drop down should become visible again. Counter-intuitively, this setting was YES on on affected device, we switched it to No just for the sake of having made a change, saved the settings and the drop down became visible with the setting at "NO". When we switched it back to "YES" the drop down became invisible again

Once you have the Write window open, press F9 to open the Contact Sidebar. Select your contacts from there.

Slide out and drop down competition

Hey everyone. I have been trying to find a solution to this for days, and yet can't figure it out. I have a menu that needs to slide out (horizontally, left to right) from behind an element that says menu. But then instead of the links taking you to the actual pages the content is dynamically loaded using ajax into a pane that drops down and is the width of the entire wrapper around the menu.
I have uploaded the files to a testing site, here.
I have got the slide out feature working just fine. However, the drop down doesn't show up. I have been checking in Firebug to see if it actually loads the content, and it does, but it is all invisible. I'm thinking it is more of a css problem than a javascript problem, but after a few days of trying different things I don't know.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Having content dropping down sounds like collapsible panels, but I'm not entirely sure how you want it all to function. I didn't see anything besides the slide out menus in Chrome. Should the content that 'drops down' disappear when another button is pressed? In that case, you might want to look at Tabbed Panels, too.
If you think it is a CSS problem, work systematically through your stylesheet, turning off styles or attributes one at a time so you can see what affects what. You might be inadvertently keeping your content "off-screen" ... there but not there...

Flash Drop Down Menu

Hi all
I am learning ActionScript 2.0 for about 6 months and I have
created a flash based website. My question is how to allow a drop
down menu to animate outside of a Shockwave files boundaries.
I have seen Flash menus that do this and also I have
seen some banner ads that allow animation to display outside of the
swf file.
Is there any tutorials or information out there that I can
learn, or could somebody give me an idea of what to do. I
understand how to use the Menu component and how to create a
regular drop down menu within the boundaries of a swf file
javono

you can't visibly animate flash objects outside the stage
boundaries. you can appear to do so using div tags so that's what
you should check.

Thanks to the super-users, and questions on backgrounds and drop-down menu

Hi all.
I've spent a fair amount of time perusing the archives, so I don't have to bother you all with the basic questions. Great thanks to Wyodor, Old Toad, Ethmoid and Cyclosaurus for their excellent and oft-repeated tutorials.
With your help, I've figured out how to set up a personal domain name, modify my background image, and create a drop-down menu. (These were major accomplishments for a neophyte like me.) My primitive template can be seen here:
http://www.monroekarate.org/dojo/Template.html
And I am pretty happy with it. I have one problem, and one minor element that I'd like to fix.
The drop-down menu was created following the excellent tutorial from the iWebfaq but I notice that although it looks perfect there is one malfunction. If you hover and try to select an element where there is no underlying content, it works fine. When you try to select a list item with underlying content, however, the drop-down disappears. Any idea why that happens or how I can fix it? I suppose I could just add a space buffer, but that is an inelegant solution.
On a more trivial note, the background was actually supposed to be composed of two images. The top row was supposed to be a horizontal set of tiles (slightly darker in color) and the rest of the background was tiled in a second image, giving a gradient effect. I used the script Wyodor described here with repeat set to yes which gave me single-image tiling. Looks OK, but if I could get both sets of tiles used it would add substantial richness to the visual effect. Ideas?
Thanks again for all your help to date, and thanks in advance for considering this issue!
Cheers,
Liam

I appreciate your reply but those arrows were not the ones I was trying to describe. In the same box where you would type your web address on the far right is a small star and then next to it an arrow pointing down. If you click on this arrow, it normally drops down a list of the websites you commonly use. Or, if you are on a website ordering something, there might be a similar arrow that you need to select in order to choose which shipping you might want such as ground, next day air, etc., these are the kinds of arrows that are not working correctly now. Any ideas on these? Thanks for trying to help me.

Displaying user selection from drop down list in static text on master page

Hello,
I am using LC 7.0 at workk and I have hit a road block.
I have a drop down list at the top of the form. Once the user makes a selection, I want to take that value and paste it in static text located on the master page. I can't seem to get it to work.
Please help!!!

Hi,
Place the Drop Down list on form
Place text object(s) on master page
here is the script to display the value and/or text of drop down
Script will be on Drop Down list events
Calculate event to display value of DD - FormCalc
form1.pageSet.Page1.StaticText1.rawValue = this.rawValue;
Change event to display Text of DD - JavaScript
form1.pageSet.Page1.StaticText2.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;
SAVE the form as dynamic pdf.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Raghu.

Drop Down list in table with data from database table

Hi,
I have created an interactive form in WD ABAP.
In Context tab I have created the nodes as follows:
ZSOHEADER node with cardinality 1..1
|-> MATERIAL node with cardinality 0..n. Under MATERIAL node there are 2 attrib. MAKTX and MATNR.
I am fetching data from MARA table into an internal table IT_MARA.
The node MATERIAL is bound to internal table IT_MARA.
I have created a table with property ' Body rows vary depending on data ' .
I have only one row in table. The first cell of the row is a drop down field.
I have bind the field to the node MATERIAL->DATA->MAKTX.
Now the issue is even though I have created only one row in my table, in preview it is creating as many rows in the table as the no.of records in the internal table.
I want only one row with the drop down list containing all values of the internal table.
Kindly suggest what to do.
Regards,
Vinod

Hi,
In the WebDynpro Context, in the main node create another node like A1 with cardinality 0..n and in this node create attributes TEXT and VALUE.
Now goto method and in that method using code wizard read the node A1.
And use the below code snippet sample in your program, i.e. code this under respective method of the webdynpro.
*Declare the TYPES
TYPES : BEGIN OF TY_TABLE,
TEXT TYPE SOMETYPE,
VALUE TYPE SOMETYPE,
END OF TY_UOM.
*Define Internal Table and work area.
DATA : IT_TABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_TABLE INITIAL SIZE 0,
WA_TABLE TYPE TY_TABLE.
SELECT TEXT VALUE FROM TABLENAME INTO TABLE IT_TABLE.
lr_node_info->bind_table( IT_TABLE ).
And in the Adobe Form Layout
Go to Menu of the Adobe LiveCycle Designer:
Tools>Options..>DataBinding
In that window you just check the Show Dynamic properties Check Box.
Now for the Drop Down go the binding tab in object palette and click on the list items and there specify the Internal Table and specify the text as the internal table text field and value as internal table value field.
OR
From the WebDynpro Native Library Palette use the Value Help Drop Down and in object pallette goto binding tab and provide the form interface binding. Before this in the WebDynpro goto Context and for the particular field under the properties provide the search help as dictionary search help and specify the name of the dictionary search help.
OR
We have another method of setting the Text and Value to the DDL directly in the WebDynpro by coding in the methods, I dont have much knowledge on this.

Dynamic drop down list in Adobe forms

I have created a drop down list using enumerated drop down list from webdynpro native tab and binded in the object palette by giving $record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[]* in the list items dynamically.DESCR is the field in the internal table into which i fetched data from the database table .I have written this code in a BADI.I dont know whether my form's display type is activex or native? I am not getting any values in the drop down list.can anybody please tell me what might be missing and how should i know whether my form is ActiveX or Native?
My form is called from portal so i have used BADI to connect portal to form

Hi sarang,
I have done a dynamic drop down list in which DESCR field comes from database table and pops into the drop down dynamically. I was working for a PCR scenario so the adobe form was called from portal.I will tell u all the required steps.It might work for u as it is working for me:
1.In the form:
I used two elements from library first is a "ENUMERATED DROP DOWN LIST NO SELECT" from web-dynpro native tab and second is "ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE" from ISR controls tab.Place them one on other inthe form.
For drop down list the setting are:
     In object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS put :$record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*].in ITEMS TEXT write text in ITEMS KEY write key.
     In binding,in default binding put $record.DESCR.DATA[*].FIELD.
For text element the settings are:
     In binding,default binding put Normal.
     when we select ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE it automatically comes with calculated read only int he value tab.so open script editor and place the below code:
$record.DESCR.DATA.FIELD (in calculate).
2.Now the code in BADI is as follows:
In BADI we have to write the code for drop down list in the METHOD "SCENARIO_SET_ADDITIONAL_VALUES"
As i didnt change the standard BADI i added an enhancement spot in which i wrote a function module which fills ADDITIONAL_DATA. and the below code fills the ADDITIONAL_DATA .
DATA: t_t572b TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t572b WITH HEADER LINE,
        t_t554t TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t554t WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT * FROM t572b INTO TABLE t_t572b WHERE sprsl EQ 'E'.
CLEAR ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
LOOP AT t_t572b.
    ADD 1 TO ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
    ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_KEY'.
    ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descd.
    APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
    ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_LABEL'.
    ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descr.
    APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
    CLEAR t_t572b.
ENDLOOP.
For DESCR field the we have to declare DESCR_KEY and DESCR_LABEL in the place holders for key values and palce holders for default values in characteristics tab(where all the fields for the form are defined) of ur respective scenario.(where ur pcr scenario is defined)
Hope ur problem got resolved.
Please let me know if any doubts.
If ur form is not called from portal and u want a dynamic drop down list the difference is put a data drop down list and in object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS select the field into which u populated the data from the database table (this code shud be written in code Initialization in the respective interface) and in ITEMS TEXT put $ in ITEMS KEY put $.and in binding as we normally do bind it to the respective field in which the data is populated from database table.
It should work.

Warning about drop-down html widget

There's a widget to add a drop-down menu on iWeb pages that's available on this site:
<http://allaboutiweb.com/index.php/2009/04/add-a-drop-down-menu-to-your-iweb-pag es/>
It works! However, you can't change the color (pale blue) or the text style (small sans serif). When I tried and couldn't, I decided to ditch the widget.
Then I found out that I COULDN'T DELETE THE DROP-DOWN widget. It seems to have latched on to a Statcounter html widget in a way that I can't see it in the Statcounter code.
When I publish the page, the part of the drop-down menu I see is whatever fits the width of the widget window for Statcounter.
(Think of a medicine cabinet with two sliding doors. You can see the inside of cabinet if the door's not closed. Now picture the inside of the cabinet as your drop-down menu and the doors as your page background. It's as if the widget box is an open door. You can make it small, but you still see part of the drop-down menu behind it.)
I finally hid the entire widget behind a shape with 100% color fill.
Does anyone have a more elegant solution to this problem? And is there a drop-down widget out there that will allow you to change its style? Thank you.

Let me show you what I mean. Here's the html for the statcounter widget from a page where there's no problem (I have only changed the security and project IDs).

<script type="text/javascript">
var sc_project=0000000;
var sc_invisible=1;
var sc_partition=58;
var scclickstat=1;
var sc_security="aaaaaaaa";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter.js"></script><noscript></noscript>

Here's the code from the page where there is a problem.

<script type="text/javascript">
var sc_project=0000000;
var sc_invisible=1;
var sc_partition=58;
var scclickstat=1;
var sc_security="aaaaaaaa";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter.js"></script><noscript></noscript>

See? Identical.
Now here's the html for the drop-down menu:
<FORM NAME="URLlist">
<SELECT NAME="droplist">
<OPTION SELECTED="SELECTED" VALUE=" ">Select a page.</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="http://www.thefirstURL.com">A Page Name</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="http://www.anotherURL.com">Another Page Name</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="http://www.anotherURL.com">Another Page name</OPTION>
</SELECT><INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Go!" ONCLICK="GotoURL(this.form)">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
</FORM>
So then--How would you get rid of the drop-down html code when it isn't visible anywhere on your iWeb pages?

Poor performance when using drop down box on web report

We are using dropdown box functionality in web reporting to allow easy selection of characteristics values. We have 4 dropdown boxes
that represents Region, Area, Country and division.
We need to use booked_values = 'Q' to show only relevant values for selection in the dropdown. However the issue is takes a long time for results to appear
on the template. Read from Fact table is quick but process of deriving drop down values is very slow.
<object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="DROPDOWNBOX_1"/>
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_FILTER_DDOWN"/>
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
         <param name="BORDER_STYLE" value="BORDER"/>
         <param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value=""/>
         <param name="IOBJNM" value="ZPC_ORG14"/>
         <param name="BOOKED_VALUES" value="Q"/>
         <param name="TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_1" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
         ITEM:            DROPDOWNBOX_1
</object>
Do you have any suggestions on how to improve performance on drop down?
Thanks, Jay

Dear Jayant Dixit,
1) If the values in the drop down box....are NOT dependent on user selection...then webserver can send them along with the first page....and cache them on client m/c...for multiple client/server dialogs....
2) If the values are changing based on what the user selected from a previous input......then...you need to do some research on how SAP Webserver could optimize the "network traffic"......For example: a) Apache webserver has a module that compresses the content on the webserver side and then send to the client...b)A Client browser plugin decompresses the received packet and displays appropriately....
3) We may need to research the latest SAP webserver capabilities....
Good luck, BB

Spry Drop down menu disappearing behind flash mov

Hi Can someone help? I have a spry drop down menu that appears fine in IE but in firefox it disappears behind my flash movie! it appears fine if there is just a image. Any ideas?

This is the wrong part of the forum for this type of problem, and it may be better if you post this type of question (or most questions), to the dreamweaver section.
That said check your position: absolute: statments in your css, as this is often the cause.

[Forum FAQ] The Value drop down list is grayed out when you perform search for Group Policy Objects in GPMC

Symptom
On Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2, when you use the Search for Group Policy Objects feature in GPMC, the “Value” field is not populated when you choose “User Configuration” as the Search Item. (See Figure 1.)
<Figure 1>
Cause
The happens because the Data of the (Default) value of the following Registry Key is not correct.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions\{4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6}]
By default the Data is (value not set). (see Figure 2)
<Figure 2>
Resolution
The registry keys under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions] are the Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions. The CSE name of the GUID {4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6} is
RemoteApp and Desktop Connections. Please follow the steps below to resolve the issue.
1. Locate the registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions\{4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6}]
2. Take the ownership of this key: Right click on the registry key and choose Permissions option and click the Advanced button on the dialogue window. Then on the Advanced Security Settings dialogue window, click Change button to take the ownership
of the key for the current logon account and make the current logon account Full Control permission with the registry key. (See Figure 3.)
<Figure 3>
3. Change the data of (Default) value from "(value not set)" to
"RemoteApp and Desktop Connection Component". (See Figure 4)
<Figure 4>
4. Once the steps above are completed, the Value drop down list will be populated again when you perform Search in GPMC. (See Figure 5)
