Fireworks 8 CSS Popup Menus

Hi,
in previous versions of Fireworks I was able to create
multiple popup menus and insert the menus into various table
positions across a web page.
In the latest version of Fireworks (8) I have tried to do the
same using the CSS popup up menus but when previewing the page one
or both of the menus fail to work properly. In some cases the popup
menus appear onmouseover in the wrong place or other times the
menus simply don't function at all.
If I create a single CSS popup menu and insert into a page
there is not a conflict and it is viewable in various browsers.
Is there an adjustment that I can make to the code or the way
that I export to Dreamweaver 8 so that multiple popup menus (in
different tables) can function on the same page?
Thanks,
Boris

CSS Popup menu export problems

I have followed all the instructions to export css popup
menus from Fireworks CS3. I can see them when I preview in browser
from the launch button top right. But when I export the CSS etc.
and view the files in Dreamweaver it simply doesn't make any sense.
Nothing seems to export properly, images missing, no
behaviours nothing, what is the exact process, can someone help?!!

Don't use a code produced by a graphics program
Murray (*ACE*) usually has the answer, so I'm copying from
him. He once linked to this blog post, from the guy who worked on
the menus:
The
sordid tale of mm_menufw_menu.js

Popup Menus from Fireworks to Dreamweaver

I have created popup menus in fireworks and imported the html
into Dreamweaver. But when I do the table cell resizes to the
menu's expanded size. How can I get it to only take space of the
unexpanded button. Where when expanded the dropdown flows OVER the
underlying page.
Desparately seeking help-
Bobbi Jo

Post a link to the page, please.

Fireworks 8 PopUp menus-

I create a page with single level popup menus in FW8. Export
html/slices to DW8
The menus only show up when I do a mouse over. I can modify
the code in DW8 to remove the javascript onmouseover= ( ... ), and
add a onload=(..). All then works as I want it to work. Top menu
displayed on page load, mouse over/out behavior works as expected.
The top level menus are acting like I would expect the lower
level popups to work. Mouse over to display. Mouse out, timer
delay, they go away.
I assumed/want the first level menus should display on page
load. Just the popups (lower menu levels) should popup with
mouseover. Wrong assumption or something wrong?? I guess I could
use Buttons instead.
Insight????

Popup Menus and Flash

Hi All,
I have created a you-beaut pop-up menu in Fireworks 8 and
have it sitting on the webpage just nicely however, on the page is
a Flash slideshow as well. The Popup menus are hidden behind the
Flash content
Now I have read all the stuff about making wmode transparent,
but it makes no difference.
Has anyone else come across this problem and found a
solution?
Thanks all.

> which is probably why Murray is a little reserved about
this animal.
> But, it works for me.
A little reserved? I'm rabidly opposed to it. A menu system
that can
generate > 3000 lines of css should be thrown in the
toilet. I don't pick
that number lightly - it was actually on a menu that was
posted here for
help not too long ago. Personally, I think you made a bum
decision - all my
experience is recoiling at this choice.,...

Ideally, you need to run as far away from those menus as you
can, before
you try using them. From a maintenance perspective at least,
they are a
nightmare.

Can I turn off the onscreen popup MENUs in safari 6.0.5? (mountain lion

Not popup windows or popup ads. I'm referring to the system popup menus that appear mid-screen when using Safari. The menus appear to be contextual, and will have choices, such as "go back." I have to tap somewhere on the screen to get it to go away. Frankly, I'm not even sure what tackpad gesture I am doing to cause them to pop up. I only want to use the regular tool bar menu and I find the popup menus disruptive and annoying. I have not been able to find a preference that relates to them. Can I get rid of these things? Thanks for your help...
Jen

I tried that, but there are no settings in there regarding the pop up onscreen menus. It seems to happen in other apps, though less frequently than Safari. Maybe it is an OS thing? However, I could not find any applicable preference...

Well, I made it to the Apple store and they, contrary to the guys at B&H, confirmed my original suspicion and yours: that the drive was failing. I bought a replacement drive and am restoring my time machine back up now.
I am a bit annoyed that the B&H guys got this one wrong but I have to give them credit for underselling me rather than overselling me; I do appreciate that.
Also worth mentioning is that the 3TB Seagate drive was less than 2 years old and is supposedly still under warrantee. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of support I get from them.
So big thanks to you, Bob, for your very good suggestions. The Apple community has come through strong for me and I appreciate it.

Popup Menus in Forms 10g

I have a tool bar that I added within a Form that has few popup menus...
When I Run form on Web layout I noticed I have to right click in order to see the popup menu... Before in client server it would only require left mouse click and the popup menu would display.. is there anyway of setting it so it would display if I hit the left button vs the right button. Reason being users who are used to Non Web based will not know to hit the right mouse button vs. Hit the left mouse button..
Anyway to fix this

I would like to respectfully suggest that windows standards are such that a left-click will select an item, and a right-click will display a pop-up context menu if applicable. I believe the action you describe is how it should be. I mean, even on the page that I use to enter this very note, if I click a link or a button, it will perform the action, and if I right-click in this text box I get editing command shortcuts, right-click on a link I get options for how it is to open, etc.
I don't believe a left click should open a context menu. If your users use other Windows standard programs, this should not be an issue, as this is how they work already.

FRM-92100 at toolbar canvases on calling popup-menus

Hi all,
I am migrating our 6i forms to 10g and now there is following problem.
When I call the popup-menu, attached to a toolbar canvas, I´ll get the frm-92100 failure-message. On other canvas-types and items, there are no problems of calling popup-menus.
What could cause this problem?
thank you.

Thanks for your reply,
I´ve created a new popup menu and attached it, but it doesn´t work too.

Embedded 3D PDF covers popup menus

When I embed a 3D PDF into a web page it covers up popup menus (even when the 3D annotation is disabled). This is true for PDFs generated in either Acro8 or Acro9 and for all browsers tested (Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera, Chrome).
For embedded flash movies, this can be avoided by setting the parameter wmmode="transparent", but this doesn't seem work for 3D PDFs. Is there another way?
Thanks,
Beat

Popup Menus not working - software, not DVD

Hi.
On PowerBook G4 1.67, 1GB RAM OS 10.4.11 I use DVD Studio Pro 2.0.5. I use it once every three months to make a set of ads that runs on a theater screen. Occasionally I use it in between for small projects where iDVD just isn't quite enough (or too much, as the case may be).
Since I last used the software I've installed at least one 'Security Update' and can't remember when I installed the x.x.11 update (before or after last time I launched DSP2).
Anyway, I have a problem with some of the popup menus in the inspector window, or palette, where settings for objects (menu, track, buttons, etc) are made.
For example, on launch, new empty project, the popup menu "First Play:" will empty and not actually pop up any options when I click on it. The same thing happens with "End Jump:" and "Target:"
I've searched through this forum but keep only finding questions and answers about actual DVD menus and no mention of anybody else having this weird bug.
Does anyone know what might be going on?
I've deleted the .plist file from my ~/Library folder and reinstalled DSP2 to no avail. Any other suggestions?

I have the same mysterious problem. I have a Dual PowerPC G4 running Os x 10.4.11.
Running DVDSP 2.05 I believe everything was fine until I did some online update. Very aggravating.

Popup menus getting cut off...

I'm writing an applet, using Swing, which is contained within a small pop-up browser window. Within my applet i'm using a number of popup menus.
The problem is in certain situations, when the pop-up menu is very wide, its gets cut off by the sides of the browser window. However when the pop-up menu is very tall and extends past the bottom of the browser window, the menu appears over the top of the window and so isn't cut off.
So its clear that a pop-up menu can extend outside of the browser window, but i need to make it so it will do this when the menu is to wide, not just when it is too tall. I thought it might have something to do with menus being lightwieght components by default, so I tried using setLightWeightPopupEnabled to force the menus to be heavywieght, but this didn't seem to help.
Anybody got any ideas on this?

no, cuz if it extends outside the applet or frame, it usually uses a Window as the root popup container, so it shouldn't do that.

Popup Menus / Bug ID 4634626

The PopupMenu totorial refers to this bug when it refers to look and feel for popup menus. The bug is reported as being fixed however I cannot find an example of how popupmenus should be used correctly so that they respond to the correct look and feel method of invoking a popup.
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4634626
Does anyone know where I can see an example of how this should be done now as the tutorial seems out of date?
Thanks,
John

Figured it out. The new API has the following:
public void showIfPopupTrigger (MouseEvent e) {
        if (e.isPopupTrigger()) {
            show(e.getComponent(),
                       e.getX(), e.getY());
    }
