DW Drop Down Menus and IE 7.0

Hello Folks,
This is my first post here, and I really understand very
little about web stuff, so I need someone to walk me through this
stuff, if you'd be so kind.
I have drop down menus I created in Dreamweaver 8.0. Most of
my pages are validated by
http://validator.w3.org, and
yet when a visitor views them in Internext Explorer, the drop down
menus don't display correctly. I'm on a Mac and can't check it
myself, but a couple of folks have verified it for me. Is there
something I can do to fix this without a major overhaul? The menus
work correctly on Safari, Firefox, IE 5.5 and an old version of
Netscape I happen to have here.

The same problem with my
Stock
Photography Site.
If someone could help me out I'd really appreciate it. I
looked around on the web and a few references to this problem, but
I can't seem to find any solution. I didn't fnd hardly any
reference to it here in these forums.
Thank you.
Cheers

Same problem on PC Firefox and IE7
Actually worse in FFox - the buttons don't show up until you
mouse over the
actual top level text link. But the dropdowns do work. IE7,
the buttons
show, but the dropdowns do not show a link, just a dash (-)
It could be something in the js - I notice this in the code
-location
name of file location...
so not sure whether it's the dash in that string causing an
issue or not...
don't know enough js to help with that. Are you using a
leading dash before
you enter the text link ?
There is also way too much code to go through to troubleshoot
sorry. I
would seriously consider usng another menuing system :-)

Black dots in drop down menus and in previews.

I just upgraded my Mac to 10.9.3 and i have these weird tiny little dots appearing in my drop down menus and when I open an image in Previews. Actually, some images just look crazy in Previews with giant squares all over them. Any idea how to fix this? I have this same operating system on an older computer at work w/out this problem.
OS X 10.9.3, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5

Is it only Preview that you are seeing this problem? If no, then it could be a hardware issue. Make a Genius appointment. Troubleshooting and analysis are a free service at the Genius Bar.
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
I am already running 10.9.3 so am not sure what good that would do
Running the combo updater often fixes odd issues. It's easy to do and certainly don't hurt.
MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.9.3 install from a regular update, just run the 10.9.3 Combo Updater on that system.
"Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

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
Peter

Not 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.

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 and submitting completed forms

Hi,
I have two questions:
1) On my form I have multiple drop-down menus. Is there a way to allow the user to return the field to its original blank state once an item is selected from the menu? I noticed that I could add a choice to the menu that is simply spaces and when that line is selected, the field returns to blank.
Is there a better way? To reset the form following a "mis-click" on one of those menus would be frustrating for the user.
2) We would like to set the form up so that when the user is finished, they can click on a button and the form is saved in PDF form and also with the XML data. In reading about LiveCycle, it seems to me that we need to send it to a URL or by e-mail, but we would like for the user to be able to save it to their own hard drive. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michael H

This bug still occurs:
How to Reproduce:
1.Download:
http://jqueryui.com/resources/download/jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.zip (or any other version)
2.Find the default example for sortable:
jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom\ development-bundle\demos\sortable\default.html
3. Replace first li item to (just to add a html select)
<li class="ui-state-default"><select><option value="1">1</option><option value="2">2</option></select>Item 1</li>
4. The dropdown options will not appear(as if the dropdown is disabled).

Help writing code for drop down menus and/or radio buttons

Hey, new to the forums, fairly new to programming in Java. I want to put up a "Ebay store", on Ebay.... well I guess that's obvious. I want to make a menu that either incorporates "Drop-down menus" (preferred - see below) or radio buttons. I do not know how to code these or how to incorporate them with the Ebay interface so that the new options selected by the customer with automatically adjust the price of the item. All help is appreciated.

I'm guessing what you want to do has nothing to do with Java. It probably has more to do with JavaScript. You are probably going to have to learn a little HTML (Drop-down menus are really select boxes) and then some JavaScript to go along with it (onChange="javascript: doPriceChange();"). I have absolutely no idea about the EBay interface so this is all just a guess. Here's a google search for adding javascript to a select box.

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 :

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!

None of the drop down menus work they r highlighted gray so I can't access them got the latest updates running lion. 10.7.2 all software is up to date

Just updated everything but when I open iTunes all my drop down menus are gray and I can't selecte them. To close out iTunes I have to use command option esc and force quit because all drop down menus and shaded gray and I can't access them

1 - the sudden disappearance of my 22 mailboxes, used to sort the emails that I need to file for future use
That was most likely the result of some kind of corruption, as I've already said, not a bug in Mail. Have you repaired the hard drive with Disk Utility recently? That wouldn't be a bad idea.
2 - at random times, mail (or the server) says that my password is incorrect and I must reenter (fix: usually I can quit mail, restart, and the connection is restored without reentering my password)
This is a known issue, where a failure to respond promptly on the server's end mimics what happens when the password is rejected. There's no need to quit Mail, just cancel when asked to enter the password, take the account back online and try again.
3 - mail seems to resort the mail in my mailboxes at random time. Several times a day, I must reset the sort to (a) by date; (b) by desending
Never seen that before. That points more to some kind of possible corruption in your Mail data or preference files.

Creating drop down menus in JSP using custom tags

Hi, i am working on a JSP which has custom tags for displaying menubar and menus, now i want to have these menus converted into drop down menus, and the submenus displayed onmouseover event. I am getting solutions with pure html page calling javascript functions.But i dont need this, i want the work done by my TagHandler class which sends the output to output stream, which in turn is transformed in to actual HTML by a XSLT embedded in my JSP.
Please help as i am new to custom tags, and desperately in need of help.
If possible give some sample code or useful links.
I will be highly grateful.
Thankx in advance

that's fine, but the tag has to, ultimately, generate the HTML/Javascript stuff like you've already seen.

Captivate 7 - Not recording drop down menus

Hi - Last week I was able to record the movement of drop down menus and now it's skipping the movement. During play back nothing is showing as happening. My settings are Automatic / Demo / Automatic Panning. Thanks!

Hi
Have you modified AdobeCaptivate.ini?
I have added a HTML5 demo (published from CP7) which shows two runs of visiting drop down menus here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1796574/demo1.zip
In the first run, the entire navigation across all of the drop down menus got recorded.
In the second run, however, only the end points of the navigation got recorded.
This is to show that Captivate uses a set of heuristics to decide when to retain and when to throw away the in-between slides. A simple rule of thumb is, if the mouse landing click has a "good correlation" with the intermediate slides w.r.t x,y coordinates and the amount of screen changes that happened during the mouse navigations in-between, then the entire navigation is retained in the recording.
Cheers
Siva

Where can I get code for Drop Down Menus

Where can I find html code for drop down menus?
Can this be inserted as an html snippet?
Thanks

Cyclosaurus is the resident expert on java script. Search the forum for his posts in topics containing "drop down menu". Also Google "drop down menus" and you'll get a lot of sites with many types of menus and codes. I had trouble adding one via an HTML snippet and am still working on it just to learn the process.

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 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???

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
