Help with Drop Menus

I am designing a site that has multiple pages of images.
(Photographer website) I added a drop menu to keep the site
organized but I am now running into problems. Because of the
multiple pages, whenever she wants to upload pictures I have to
adjust the drop menu on like 15 pages. So I did the site over using
frames thinking this would help. But no. Now the frame cuts the
drop menu off.
So my question is. Is there a way to create a link or
javascript that I can link to on each page and then only edit that
one item. So when I go to that link/script and edit it, it will
just link to all other pages that contain that link/script. I don't
know if this is an easy fix, but I have just been pulling what
little hair out I have.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

Investigate using DW's Library items, or Templates, or
ordinary Server-side
includes. It's the only way to do it.

Need help with drop down list in parameters

Hi All,
I have the following data set:
DEPT1     DEPT2     DEPT3 DEPT4
Commissioner's Office     Finance     Accounting     Accounts Payable
Commissioner's Office     Finance     Accounting     Fiscal Analysis & Repo
Commissioner's Office     Finance     Accounting
Commissioner's Office     Planning,Asset Mgt     Asset Management     Inventory & Tracking
Commissioner's Office     Planning,Asset Mgt     Asset Management     Mobility & Congestion
Commissioner's Office     Planning,Asset Mgt     Asset Management     Roadway Safety
Commissioner's Office     Planning,Asset Mgt     Asset Management
Commissioner's Office     DesignProj Mgt & Tec     Bridge Dsgn Insp Hyd
In plus i have four parameters with searchlight options, the problem is when i select "Finance" from DEPT2 and in the next selection level i'm seeing all the departments "Accounting,Asset Management and Bridge Dsgn Insp Hyd" insted of just "Accounting". What i want is if i select a department in DEPT2, in the next drop down list(DEPT3) i want to see only the departement corresponding to the one i selected in dept2. Please need help.
Thanks

Hi
First of all you need to be using Discoverer 10g or 11g Plus not 9.0.4. Assuming you have the right version you need to present the parameters in the correct order. You can change the order on the parameters screen by selecting Tools | Parameters from the toolbar. You then use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to place them in the right order so that DEPT1 is offered first, followed by DEPT2, then DEPT3 and then DEPT4.
Next, you need to check the radion button on the bottom of the right-hand side that allows linking of parameters then you make DEPT2 dependent upon DEPT1, with DEPT3 dependent upon DEPT2 and so on.
While this works without hierarchies it works best when you have a hierarchy in place and even better when there is a composite index on the 4 items.
Best wishes

Help with drop-in text animation

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to create a specific text animation, but I'm having a little difficulty. I'd like to have the text drop in in a random order into its final spot. I can get close using the text drop-in animation, but I'd really like the 'source' of the text dropping in to be from a single point. Picture a watering can pouring the letters out and they randomly fall into their correct spot in a phrase. The default look of the drop-in animation is that each character drops from its corresponding spot in the phrase. I've played with changing the tracking, using the 'before' setting and managed to squeeze the space that the text is dropping from, but that causes the letter to appear to move after they've already landed. You can see a rough draft here: http://www.c2-it.com/clients/a/textdrop.mov
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get closer to what I'm looking for?
Thanks,
CJ

Todd, thanks for the reference to the tutorials. They helped me understand a little more how the animators work.
Mylenium, I'm still a little confused on your approach. I've got the base text layer and added an animator for opacity. I set it for random and that works fine, the letters randomly appear and complete the phrase. For the 'pouring in' part, I added a second text layer and animated the position property, but the text still originates from its original place in the phrase. I can't get it to originate from a single point. Also, I'm not even sure I understood about using multiple selectors for the 1st layer. Just using the animator for opacity with a random setting seems to provide the correct 'ending' of the animation.
Thanks Again,
CJ

Hi,
you need to understand how eventing works in BSP and MVC architecture. Pls refer to the below link for a basic understanding of how BSP works - View, Controller and Model class concepts.
http://www.sapdev.co.uk/webapps/bsp/washome.htm
For your requirement -
1. you need a view on which you will create a drop down list UI element and a table view element
2. you will need to create a contoller class - this will be used to handle the event that will be triggered when user selects an entry from drop down list
3. you will need a model class in which you will write the business logic to retrieve employees of selected department.
Pls search this forum or blogs for - data binding with BSPs, Table View. Pls read these concepts and try to develop your requirement. You can come back to this forum if you face any issues during development.
hope this helps.

Help with sub-menus

I need to add four more pages to my website already setup and running. I want to add the additional pages under one of the pages already functioning. Like a sub file or something on that particular page.
Ex;
Page 1
Page 2
Page 3 —page 3a; page 3b; page 3c; page 3d
Page 4
Page 5
Page 6
I used DW CS5, two column, liquid with left sidebar, header and footer. I would n’t like to mess with my left side navigation bar unless unavoidable.
I need the whole procedure from A to Z, since new to DW.
Any help given is very much appreciated.

Go to File > New > Blank HTML page > Layout [none].

Need help with jump menus

I'm 53 and electronically challenged. I am an artist and am re-doing my extremely simple/basic website, and would like to add jump menus. However, when I try to insert the Form Object...Jump Menu, the dialog box tries to open, but then I receive an error message "When executing...a JavaScript error occurred." After I hit OK, everything freezes up, and I have to hit the Ctl/Alt/Delete to get out of the program. I have been trying to find instructions; I went to File/Debug, but I receive a message saying the document cannot be debugged because it contains no JavaScript. Honestly, I don't even know what that is. Perhaps I'm trying for something too complicated...I really just want to add those drop-down menus which every other website seems to have. Navigating my site has become too complicated, and I would like to simplify the process. If anyone responds to this (my first forum message, ever), please use baby-computer language. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the referral. After reading and answering the first response, I was led to another question/answer about JavaScript and did go to the troubleshooting page (where I've been since writing). Not that I understand 1/10th of what it said, but on my computer I wound up here:
...\DreamweaverUltradev\Conf\Objects\Forms
It wasn't the same path as the article said (at least not on my computer), but I looked at all the "icons" and discovered that everything had at least 2 icons (Image Field has 3), but the Form Insert only had one icon, which looks to me like a dollar sign inside a box. Everything else either has what looks like an Internet Explorer symbol, or a page with a broken corner (Dreamweaver icon?). Anyway, I keep reading suggestions about reloading the program, so I guess I'll do that, unless someone can make an easier suggestion (I am terribly inept and for some reason have difficulty loading programs).
Thanks.

I need help with drop down lists

I have a form that does not have lots of space and I want to use drop down lists to fill in specific information that describes site conditions. The problem I have is that the drop down list is only set up for a single line and that is not enough space for what I want in the drop down list. In other words, I have items that are several sentences. I have seen some descriptions of creating a drop down list that then fills in a text box that has multiple lines. Unfortunately, that is not an ideal solution for me. I just want the drop down list to select a single phrase. Here is an example of what I want to be able to select in the drop down.
The water heater spilled flue gases in excess of 5 minutes under worst case conditions. The combusiton testing was completed with in 30 days of the invoice submittal.
The form does not allow me to create a field that goes all the way across the page so it needs to look something like this:
The water heater spilled flue gases in excess of 5 minutes
under worst case conditions. The combusiton testing was
completed with in 30 days of the invoice submittal.
Any help is greatly appriciated.

Thanks for responding.
I have three items that are very similar in length and text for each drop down. There are 9 drop downs right now. I am using the drop downs to fill in a form that is used by several people and I want to keep things as simple as possible. Associated with the drop down already is a check box. When the check box is checked, it fills in a text box with a score (1 point, 5 points, etc). That score then tallys for a total with all the other scores in another text box. Using a drop box to fill in a text box is just getting to busy and than I have to distinguish each drop down item so it is clear which text you are selecting.

Help with drop down box if/then function and sum

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me with an if/then function. I have a drop down box with all of the provinces listed, then based on their choice I need to calculate provincial sales tax with a sum function for the price of the item plus the sales tax. Help!

You can enter the sales tax rate for each province as the export value and
then use the drop-down field directly in your calculations.

Need help with drop down menu

Hi guys,
I'm using div's for the main navigation of my site and want to create a drop down for the first two buttons. All the tutorials I have seen have been for using unordered lists but I need to use divs for this navigation set (long story!).
Can anyone help me get them set up please? Ideally I would like the drop downs to fade in but it's not essential. I take it I need to create an absolutely positioned div where I want my drop downs to appear, is that correct? - but then where do I go from there?
If you click here for my test site.
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
SM

Hi Ken,
Thank you for the reply.
I had the main nav as an unordered list to begin with but for some reason I didn't find them as easily controllable as the div's i.e. setting widths and heights etc. as I wanted each button to have a set width, instead of just having text with padding. Originally I had the button divides set as border left and right strokes but for some reason they weren't adding up, I think because of the padding I had on them. I know you can set these with unordered lists but opted for divs in the end!
Hope that helps.
Thanks again,
SM

PREMIRE EL, 11. NEED HELP WITH DROPPING CLIP. SO FAR 3 1/2 HOURS. :(

i HAVE A LARGE VIDEO CLIP THAT IS IN VIDEO/AUDIO #2. I CAN NOT DRAG AND DROP IT INTO VIDEO/AUDIO #1 IN BETWEEN CLIPS. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING. PLEASE HELP ME. BARB

barbe1957
Without seeing your Timeline structure, I offer this thought for now. If you want to post a screenshot of the track situation, that would be helpful.
Why can you not drag and drop the large clip from Video/Audio 2 Video/Audio 1 - messes up the existing Timeline or just will not move or something else?
Select the group of clips that are now in the place where you want the Video/Audio 2 material to be. Then drag the selection as a group out of the way.
Drag in the Video/Audio 2 material to Video/Audio 1. Move the previously moved group back to wherever you want it.
What is the duration of this large Video/Audio 2 clip?
We will be watching for your follow up in the morning.
Thanks.

Add On...Typically as you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard as you add a clip to an existing Timeline to avoid disturbing it.

Need help with Drop Down Menu _ URGENT!!

Hello -
I'm new to Dreamweaver. I actually have an old version
(Dreamweaver MX 2004).
I'm updating a website for work and this needs to be done as
soon as possible so I'd appreciate if anyone can be so kind as to
shed light on ANYTHING. =/
This is what I need:
I need a drop down menu; when a selection is chosen, I need
information regarding that selection to appear on the bottom of the
page. (I am working off an Excel sheet - it has list of service
descriptions along w/ the unit price, frequency & other fields.
So If I chose "database hosting" off the drop down list,
information would be generated (ie. it's corresponding unit price,
frequencies, etc.)
I've attached an example of a code but I cannot use that code
(which has JavaScript) to tweak what I need exactly.
I am VERY new to this so if anybody can help be out I would
GREATLY appreciate it.
Thanks!!

Conflict with drop-menus

Hi all,
I've created a page that has a horizontal drop menu along the
top, and I wanted to make a side vertical menu for a few pages.
When I apply both menus to the page, one seems to nix the other one
out- ie: the top menu will expand, and the side menu won't.
Anyone know of a soultion? I've tried renaming the .js file
on one of them, doesn't seem to work. Thanks in advance!

You need to create both in the same Fireworks document and

Help with drop in speed...

I used to get 6.4Mb/s regularly when I ran a speed test. Since a recent migration about 2 weeks ago I get maximum of 256k/s. I have run a test and it says my Configured Download Throughput Speed in 250k/s - Does this mean the maximum I can get with that setting is 250k/s? I have tried calling the "help" desk but they can't seem to understand the problem. If I transfered to another ISP would they be able to change this setting? Sorry if Im missing the obvious. Any help gratefully received.

What speedtest have you run? The bt one? What figures does that show, and what do you mean by 'migration'?

Help with DROP ZONES!!

Hi. Firstly, sorry if I'm not able to explain myself in the proper terminology...very new to Pages and all.
Here is my query:
How do you create a Drop Zone (if that's what it's called)? i.e.The zones on the templates that enable you to drop a picture (any image) in them and they fill the shape entirely. So instead as using a solid colour as a fill, you'd use an image?
Thank you!!

pseudo,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
In Pages' parlance, it's called a Placeholder. Just insert an image, any image, into your Pages document. Select it. Click on Format > Advanced > Define As Media Placeholder. That's all there is to it.
