Help with multi column drop down menu

HI all,
I am attaching an image from the ESPN web site, in the hopes that someone sheds some light on what is the name of the pull down menu that is shown there?
and how you go about creating such menus, even larger (even as wide as the Navigation bar itslef)?
thanks!

Help with jsp and drop down menu

hi, im tryin to put a drop down menu using javascript, is the example in the page:
http://tutorials.alsacreations.com/deroulant/
but creator detects a error:
The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.
int creator and when i deply the proyect, here is the code:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Can anybody tell me what im doing wrong?

hi,
Creator does not recognize (or whatever you say) characters like '<'. You can import js file which includes your script or change these characters for example put "<" instead of "<".

Problems with mm_menu.js (drop-down menu)

I've made a couple of sites with mm_menu.js (drop-down menu) made by Dreamweaver. It works fine in Firefox, Google Chrome. It worked fine in Internet Explorer up to version 9. In version 10 the mm_menu.js doesn't show at all, and in version 11 it does
show up, but places itself in the upper left corner of the browser. Can anyone explain why this is so? Is there any fix one can put in the code to make the drop-down menu look correct?

I can't seem to open additional tabs with the +, the drop down menu, or Command T? Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Hello,
I can't seem to open additional tabs with the +, the drop down menu, or Command T? Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
I'm running Firefox 30.0 in OS 10.8.5 on a Mac Book Pro with the 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 and 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory.
Thanks in advance,

Can't Block Person in iChat, with task bar drop down menu in Buddies.

Hello : )
I was wondering if anyone knows how i can use my "Block Person", on iChat (task bar with drop down menu in Buddies). I am pretty sure this worked has worked before , the command is there it just seems to stay greyed out. I know it can be done in the Security tab / ichat preferences, I would like it to work under the Buddies drop down as well. I know it did before, my HD was replaced. Help would be most appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Eme;~[)

Hi Eme,
Ok. iChat 3 has a setting that needs to be set if you are going to use the same screen name on two copmuters or on two apps on the same computer.
Go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts
Select the AIM account in question in the left hand column
Select the Account Info tab.
Log out of AIM (iChat menu)
Check the check box "Allow Multiple Logins for This Account"
Log back into AIM.
If this is not checked starting iChat 3 will boot off (log out) any other AIM Client using the same screen name whether it is on the same computer or not
From what the ISP says and what you have posted here it seems the modem is in Bridge mode.
I take it if you open System Preferences > Network > Select Airport from the second drop down > TCP/IP tab you IP is shown as 10.0.1.2 ?
And the drop down just above that says "USING DHCP" ?
This would mean the Airport is in default mode and Issuing Addresses.
Also by default an Airport would do NAT. (Network Address Translation)
This measn the Airport sorts out where each bit of data has to go.
It is different from other routers as you don't have the specify which ports are going to whch ports on one IP (Port Forwarding)
Which Netopia device is it ?
3347 ?
If it is this one you may need to look at the QoS settings.
These are setings that are supposed to protct you form reciveing data too quickly. (helpful if you are running a busy web site but restrictive sometimes for iChat).
As you are omly talking about sorting out Block lists it is prpobably the multiple login option that needs doing.

Problems with flash transparent drop down menu over html in some browsers

Hi everyone... this is my first post and it's about an issue
that's causing me a few problems.
I'm currently designing/ building my company's web site, the
test page be viewed here: www.musflashtv.com/test.htm
1) This layout contains an embeded flash movie (.swf) with a
transparent background, this is the main navigation.
The flash navigation has a drop down menu that animates down
and covers the html page (containing links) below.
The problem is that in most current browsers such as; Firefox
2.0.05 (links below template don't work), Netscape 8.1.3
(navigation drop down and links don't work) and Opera 9.10 (links
below template don't work), any links just below the 'invisible'
transparent area coverd by the navigation can't be clicked 'through
the flash file'. The exception is IE 7.0, everything is fine there.
(it hasn't been tested in any mac browsers though).
Because the area below the navigation on
www.kitachi.info/work is one large dummy jpeg file, the link below
would be a much better example to look at.
http://www.musflashtv.com/shows/ind...tlight-Sessions
The flash navigation is embedded in the html (tlp) template
file using the code below and aligned using an external style
(.css) sheet, this html code not only embeds the flash movie but it
also tells the browser to display it's background and as
transparent. The flash movie is embedded in a layer that sits above
the table.
3) The flash embed code:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
name="shows-navigation-tranparent" width="851" height="300"
align="top" class="flash-navigation"
id="shows-navigation-tranparent">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie"
value="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />
<embed src="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" width="851"
height="300" align="top" quality="high" wmode="transparent"
bgcolor="#000000" name="navigation-tranparent"
allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
scale="exactfit" />
</object>
Does anybody know of any code that can solve this problem or
know a different way of creating a flash navigation with a drop
menu that can be embeded over html?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated especially as
this issue is holding back progress in a big way.
Thanks in advance guys!

It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
last
year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
Quicktime etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.

Problem with checkbox and drop down menu

I am using DW8 with PHP/MySQL.
I made a insertion form and a couple of the fields are
checkboxes and another is a drop down menu. Everything works fine,
however, when I create an update form and the recordset calls the
data it doesn't retain its values on those items.
For example, if I checked a box when inserting the record and
then call the data up for the update form, the box is not checked,
making the user believe it was never checked in the first place.
The same thing goes for the drop down menu. If I have 3
options in the menu and someone selects the third one, when the
update form is used it defaults to the first option automatically
instead of actually calling up the original value selected.

The fact that two scripts do not work together does not mean
there is a bug in the RH script. It is simply that they were not
designed by their respective developers to work together. This
happens with multiple scripts in any html file.
Try creating a new project and then importing just this topic
into it. Does it still have the problem?

Help with actionscripting multiple drop-down menus

So I have 3 different drop down menus that I want to use, and I want them to all work together so that if I have drop down menu number one open, the 2nd menu will drop down while the 1st one is still down.
(I'm using Flash cs3)
Here are some screen shorts:

I'm relatively new to actionscripting all together, and I'm not a great programmer either. I'd greatly appreciate any help, I'm completely stuck and have no idea what to do.
Thanks!

Need help fixing a CSS Drop-Down menu for IE6

Hello.
I have created an entirely CSS drop down menu for my website
which works perfect in Firefox, Safari, Opera and IE7 however when
I tested in IE6 it displayed like this -->
image
here or go to http://www.runecentral.net/index.php (Must have
/index.php as i have redirected / to the community forum.)
Here is my code

Thank you for your reply.
To answer your first question, I tried it with just one
before and it caused Internet Explorer to display the background
incorrectly so I just kept them both.
I have replaced background-image with background:
url(/img/defmenu.png) repeat-x;
But, I cannot access my XP machine until tomorrow so I cannot
view the site in IE6, if you could test it and tell me if it is the
same as the image linked to in my first post that would be great.
Kind Regards,
Perry

JCombobox with JMenuBar (as drop down menu)

Hello, i'm trying to make a new component (as generic as possible) to display a tree structure in a combo-like style.
So i finally choose a JTextfield to display the current item + a JMenuBar with Menu and MenuItem generated from a TreeModel (i'm not sure this is the better choice to make, but tha's not my present problem).
2 questions :
1) am I reinventing the wheel ???
2) i've got a problem of pack when displaying the compent and i don't find where.
Thanks. Cyril.

"Open With" drop-down menu has multiple instances of apps

When I right-click on a file and select "Open With", the resulting drop-down menu contains many, many multiple instances of the same app - five Firefox's, five Quicktime Player's, at least three instances of every relevant app. Why is that happening, and how can I clean that menu up?

I happen to have the same problem. However I cannot find the two files in step two:
2.
Trash the following two files in the Macintosh HD > Library > Caches folder:
* com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore
* com.apple.LaunchServices-014nnn.csstore
I did input my UID number as you are told to do so in the instructions. The only I can find is the one in step six a:
6.
Verify that the problem is solved. If not:
1. Trash the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file in the Home > Library > Preferences folder of the affected account. See Note [3].
Is there a reason as to why I cannot find those files? Oh and I did delete it; all it did was reset the file associations.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. May your loins be blessed with fertility.

Change this:

width: 100%;
to this:
.ddsmoothmenu{

background: #new color code;
width: 100%;
And repeat this on other selectors.

Using a drop down menu as navigation

Good morning all!
I have been struggling with making a drop down menu work as navigation for a while and finally need to reach out to all you brilliant people on this forum.
I currently have a drop down menu with three items(Nav1, Nav, 2, Nav3) corresponding to three pages(Screen1, Screen2, Screen3). When I first created the menu it seemed I could only use the OnChange option to use navigation with the menu because, when using
the OnSelect I only get these options:
If(Datasource!Selected!Title
/// and ///
If(Datasource!Selected!Value
If I use the first option the title listed on my data source doesn't work, I get the red squiggly line. If I use the second option (Value) I have no value listed in my data source.
Therefore I used the OnChange option, I can get the menu to navigate to the first page, however I realized that this option chances to one single page no matter what the menu option changes to.
Does anyone know how to make a drop down into a fully functioning navigation menu?
The other issue I ran into was resetting the drop down to the first list item upson returning to the screen however, ptr.chovan,
offered this working solution:
set a variable in screen1 property OnVisible
UpdateContext({active: true})
and in screen1 property OnHidden
UpdateContext({active: false})
Then in dropdown visual add this in Items
If(active=true, .... your data source here ...)
Or perhaps easiest way is instead of resetting datasource of dropdown, you can reset dropdown default by adding this into Default property
of dropdown
If(active=true, "Screen1")

If your Items in dropdown1 are
["Nav1", "Nav2", "Nav3"]
Then use OnChange property of the dropdown1
If(Dropdown1!Selected!Value="Nav1", Navigate(Screen2,""), Dropdown1!Selected!Value="Nav2", Navigate(Screen3,""), Dropdown1!Selected!Value="Nav3", Navigate(Screen4,""))
Does the other solution of resetting dropdown helped you?
