Horizontal menu with horizontal sub menu using image rollovers or similar

Hello,
I am brand new to web design and working on my first site. What I lack in skills, I have in free time to learn right now : ) Please let me know if there is a tutorial or other resource that describes what I am trying to do...I've been searching for days and just can't find what I'm after.
The design concept is a menu of main categories that apear to be floating over an object. When you hover over one, it looks like it gets pressed down in space resulting in the next line populating with subcategories to be selected. If you click on the main elements, you would be directed to that page - Services for instance. If you just hovered over a main category, you would be presented with a list of sub-categories that behave in the same fashion. If you then clicked on one of the sub-categories, you would be taken to that specific page.
Here's a sequence of images that show what I'm after.
I built all this in Illustrator as described in a Lynda.com tutorial. I then exported slices to dreamweaver and started building content. Each of the categories and sub categories is a separate slice with images built for the rollovers. I was able to build the main categories and get them to visually sink upon using an imageswap...now I'm stuck on how to get the second line to behave as I described.
This is a fun learning experience. Let me know if there is a better way to achieve the design. I just stared investigating SSIs as well and see the value in having this menu in just one place, referenced into all my subsequent pages. I have successfully embeded an SSI footer with rollovers on my page, but this menu problem is really tough for me.
I really appreciate any pointers.
Thanks,
Jeff Prince

I tried building a Spry Horizontal menu to get what I want, but I had no success there. Any tips for that?
On a separate note...I do not know if it is proper to use a 'tabbed panel' for my menu project, but it seems to work fine. I have built both the top (main category) and bottom (sub category) lines of my menu using spry with .png image rollovers.
Now I just need to find out how to make the main category button rollover stay 'down' while browsing the subcategories. I would also like to get the subcategories to populate upon mouseover of the main category, without requiring a selection. Now that would be slick : ) In my example above, the 'services' title should be depressed while in that submenu and look like 'landscape design'.
One minor problem is the space created between my subcategory images. I can't find the .css or .js that is creating that space. I've really trimmed down all the .css and do not know where else to hunt.
Thanks for any advice,
Jeff

Custom spry type menu using images instead of text

Hi.
Before I ask my question properly, I just want to put it out there that I have created my almost finished (apart from this part) website pretty much cometely in design view. I am very very limited with HTML and have zero scripting experience.
I'm looking for a step by step guide to the solution/s if anyone can be so kind as to help.
My website uses a non standard font throughout so my headings are all .png files including the menu bar navigation.
I would like one of my menu buttons to continue to switch to a different image as the others do (it simply changes colour) but also drop down a further two clickable images in the spry style.
Is it possible to create a rollover image that has further hotline regions or clickable images as part of it?
If not, can you create a spry menu with no text, just background images?
Alternatively, is there another way to achieve what I'm looking for.
Thank you very much.

Use a background image, keep the original label (e.g. Home) for accessibility (screen readers, search engines etc), but hide the labels by placing them in a span and giving the span a left margin of -1000em. Also give the item an identifying class (home),as per
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu home" href="#"><span>Home</span></a>
and the CSS
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a span {margin-left: -1000em;}
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.home {
background: url(home_bg.png);
Give the hover and focus a background image of choice.

Sub report using Stored Procedure returns incorrect data

Post Author: rikleo2001
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Guys,
I am using CR 9 in ASP.net application.
One simple report and one Sub report, sub report is basically linked with Stored procedure accepting one parameter and returns a select query.
Main report is linked with that sub report using that parameter field.
Sub report is on demand sub report.
Now when I execute that main report and click on on demand sub report I am getting Wrong order information.
Here is out put on main report
Order 1                                          on demandDetail
Order 2                                          on demandDetail
Order 3                                          on demandDetail
     NOW If I click on Order 3 (On demanddetail link, it displays rondom order details, some time correct on too), I am really stuck and don't know where I am going wrong.
Please help me to solve this issues.
Many Thanks

Hi Yangster,
Thank you so much for your reply.
On DEMAND Sub report is located in main report, IN DETAIL SECTION
I am passing Order ID from main report linked to {?morderid} in subreport under command object, and if I run it in design mode, it works perfectly alright, so problem is isolated to ASP.NET and Crystal report post back method on Crystal report.
The example I give to you this is a simple example to identify issues in my real application and report.
My main report contains summary of data base on unique identifier. that summary have 4 differant types of details which has to be on the same report (as Crystal report doesn't provide Nested subreport), so I decided to use 4 subreports on main report and all subreport using Stored procedure command object.(Sub report has it own complex processing requirement to fulfill).
Please help me with any further ideas? for the sample which I presented to you this is only using one SP on main report with a simple processing.
Many Thanks

Create master document form with multiple sub form

Hi Dear;
how can i create a master form with multiple sub form using screen painter?
best regards;

Hi Dany,
Do you mean a form connected to a MasterData Object with multiple childs?
If so:
1. Create a new ScreenPainter form;
2. Add a Folder item for each of the childs;
3. Add a new matrix to each of the childs and change their PaneLevel to from 1 to N (N = number of childs you have);
If your code you then need to catch item pressed event for the Folder Items and change the form's Pane Level accordingly.

Horizontal sub menu in ie, need vertical?

Built a SpryMenuBarHorizontal with one sub menu. Works fine in all browers except ie.In ie sub menu is horizontal instead of vertical.
Any help?
Thanks

I put your page through the validator:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Foptionsclinic.net%2Ffirst_step.ht ml
Main problem it identified was "end tag for "p" omitted."
I looked at your page in "view source" and see this:
<div id="headernav2">
<p>CALL US: 817-599-6700<br />
    HOT LINE: 800-392-HELP<br />
    EMAIL US: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a><br />
    CHAT WITH US:
I think that <p> element is not closed.
Whether it has anything to do with your spry menu is yet to be seen. I fix my own code in this way. I do not understand why some things work or do not work. My suggestion to you is add these tiny little characters in your code </p> and test it. If it works call me a Coding deity. If it doesn't work, remove it and post again content in the knowledge that someone, a complete stranger, was prepared to have a look at your page.
For my part, I have a hunch that it does have something to do with your menu. If not, it needs fixing anyway.

Horizontal sub-menu - can you help?

I'd like to make a horizontal sub-menu appearing under a
horiziontal root menu (rather than the usual vertical drop-down
menu) - can this be done?
I know I could do this type of menu using Flash but I'd
rather not contain the navigation for the site in a .swf file - not
very user-friendly.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Strange behavior when I try to match a mpeg2 video with the menu size image

hello all,
got a strange behavior when I try to match a mpeg2 video with the menu size image,
menu size is 1920 x 1080 (photoshop file)
mpeg2 video 1920 x 1080 (1second 19 frames)
the idea is to go from the menu link to the next sub menu with a video as transition, using the same image on the video as the menu and then zooming in (in my case through a door) to end up after the zoom in the next level menu.
I try to achieve a smooth change from the first play menu picture to the video image into the next level menu picture,
everything works good but when I watch it on the preview mode on the left and right side of the video it shows a black bar at least 15 to 25 pixel wide, that means the video image appears smaller and it causes a little jump what is preety disturbing and can not be sold as a professional work.
why encore treats the video size and picture differently?
it's gratful appreciated if somebody who got experience in a transition I mentioned obove posting any solution,
thankl you all

Hi all
I'm having a very similar problem with Encore. My menu items are distorting (a minor but infuriating squashing top and bottom) when previewed.
Using Encore,PS,AE CS4
DVD format SD PAL DV widescreen
I created 3 menu frameworks and 3 video transistions to link them in AE. On the final frame of each transistion in AE I saved the frame with Composition>Save Frame to> Photoshop Layers. In PS i added the button functionality and saved.
In Encore I use Dynamic link to import AE transistions as timelines and imported each PS menu twice, once as "menu" and once as an asset.
When I link the timeline transistions to the menu and preview at the point the menu begins the whole image is squashed. When the next transistion is activated the image returns to its original size.
Thinking it was the use of PS that was causing the menus to distort I used the menu asset directly in the time line. Obviously no menu functionality but also no distortion. The AE transistion flowed straight into the "menu" just as I expected.
In the properties panel the menu Aspect Ratio 16:9
The AE transistions PAR is SD PALwidescreen 1.4587.
I did try the Blu Ray suggestion above but the same distortion was apparent.
Any suggestions short of squashing the video to match the menu would be welcomed.
Thanks

How to show active page in Spry Menu Bar using images

Hi,
I have already read this answer "how to show active page in spry menu bar" but I am using images, not text. I have mouse-over and mouse-out working in the Spry Menu Bar using image.png and image-over.png, but I cant' figure out how to get the image-over.png to appear on the active page since the spry menu bar is locked on the individual pages. (I tried to put it in an editable comment, but spry wouldn't go for it. :-)
Any ideas. Here is the code:
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">

Hi Harjeet,
Reason of your Dump is that the enhancement "LFDCB001" which you used contains one Function module exit "EXIT_SAPLFDCB_001" and another one screen exit in calling screen "SAPLFDCB" number 0150.
So when you activate your project these above mentioned both components were activated.
So when you execute transaction SAP looks for called screen "SAPLXM08" No-0400 but as you havn't created and program go for DUMP.
Solution - Just Create called screen "SAPLXM08" No-0400 and activate.
Thanks,
Vijay

Menu button image

Hi,
I'm creating a menu using an Apple template as a starting point. When I drag my track (with markers) to a menu button and choose "create chapter index & make connections" the sub-menu buttons do not show the entire image of the frame where the markers are. Is there a way to re-size the image without re-sizing the whole button?
Thanks in advance,
Ray

Hey Genius'!!!
Hardly that.
I would like to be able to set up drop down menu on certain menu images. thanks so much for your help!!!!
How good are you with CSS and HTML code?
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/CSS-Horiz-menu-3.shtml
If you don't like working with code, use the Spry Menus that come with Dreamweaver.
Insert > Spry > Spry Menu > select horizontal or vertical menu...
If you want to customize your Spry Menu code, see below

Using Image Capture to scan with Canon Pixma MX700

I previously had trouble connecting my Canon Pixma MX700 to my MBP, but soon figured out that I needed a new high speed USB 2.0 cable, versus the old one I was trying to use it with. Doh!
So now it prints without any trouble at all, and I know that all its features - printing, scanning, fax, copier, are supposed to be compatible with Leopard.
However, I'm still having issues scanning. I Googled and found a comment somewhere that with this specific model, one has to use Image Capture for the scanning portion, instead of the Canon software.
Great, so that explained the problem I was having trying to figure out how to GET it to communicate at all with the MBP (downloaded the latest scanner driver from Canon with no result).
But it still will not scan with Image Capture. Communication is fine- the image is detected and I can see it perfectly in the Image Capture window, am able to change options, etc. Once I drag and select the image I want to scan and click the scan button, nothing happens. Or more specifically, the button will be click-able and for about two seconds it appears to be working (with the scan button substituted by a cancel button), but then the scan button will pop back up and nothing appears in the folder I specified the image to be saved to.
Now I'm completely stumped. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!!!

With my MacBook running Leopard, I had been able to successfully scan multiple images by pressing the MX7000 scan button and capturing the images with MP Navigator. The MX700 is networked over WiFi. Early on, I learned that it seemed to be more reliable to drive this process using the scan button, rather than trying to initiate the scan from the MP Navigator UI.
However, recently things stopped working, and after the first image was scanned, subsequent scans would fail, with MP Navigator complaining about not being able to connect to the scanner. This sounds similar to the problem described in the original posting.
I went to the Canon USA support site and downloaded /installed the latest versions of the MX700 scan driver (13.9.0) and MP Navigator (1.0.4), both available under the "Drivers and Downloads" section for the MX700 support page (be sure to select "Mac OS X" from the pull-down menu).
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDeta ilTabAct&fcategoryid=238&modelid=15651#DownloadDetailAct
The new updates seem to have solved the problem, and I can now scan multiple images one after the other. Again, I always initiate the scan from the button on the MX700, and always capture using MP Navigator, which has the really nice feature for creating and editing multi-page PDFs.

Using images with Transparency in Photobooks

I'm to a point where I would like to use images that utilize transparency in Aperture photo books. Is this possible? So far, PSD files that I've cropped with PS's lasso tools to have transparent areas surrounding their subject tend to change this area to white when dropped into a book.
Does anyone know of a way or format to use to retain this transparency? I love the speed of Aperture's photobook tools, along with export and printing options, and would like to be able to layer images that bleed together, or have a cut-out subject on top of others, but I haven't noticed a way as of yet.
Is this ability even available in Aperture yet?
If not, is there a third party plugin that gives it to the user when making photo books?
Please let me know soon, else i'm going to have to adjust my workflow back to photoshop only for page set layouts and the created PSD files on blank book pages- not fun.

i have been trying different ways to make it work fine, and find several things to consider:
Note: for the next ways i tried with images with transparency.
1 searching images in the iPad with safari and saving it into Photo app
then copying it with the popup and pasting it with the popup inside Pages or Keynote:
work fine.
2 using the saved images that worked fine in the first way but
then inside Pages in my opened document, using the menu to import the image from the
Photo app, to insert the same downloaded image used in the first case:
does not work, the image appears with a white background.
3 trying the first way (manually copying and pasting) but with the images i imported from
my MacBook Pro using the normal way via iTunes(10.1.1 (4))
does not work, some images appears with a black background, other images
appears with a white background.
4 trying with the images of the third way, but changing the method using the photo app
menu from Pages
does not work as in the third way
i dont have problem using transparency images in the first complex way.
my problem is when i try to use images with transparency in the other three normal ways.

Menu background image size

Hi...if I follow this link http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html and the instructions for preparing menu background images. My images still get cropped. Does anyone know the real sizes that will fit perfectly?
From the Apple link:
"If you want your images to fit the DVD window exactly, use an image-editing application to crop and resize the images to the following dimensions:
720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format
854 x 480 pixels for widescreen in NTSC format
768 x 576 pixels for standard video in PAL format
1024 x 576 pixels for widescreen in PAL format"
Many thanks in advance

Shingy,
Today there is an update to iDVD (as well as other iApps) that you should make.
After doing the update this is what I found:
I'm not sure if the things I'm seeing are a result of the update, but after updating I have further defined the problem.
The problem now seems to be in figuring out the proper background size when using a widescreen theme converted to 4:3
Widescreen as widescreen and 4:3 as 4:3 work as expected in PAL.
So, if you stick with the originally discussed image sizes for PAL you will be OK AS LONG AS you don't try to use a widescreen theme as a 4:3 theme. (I didn't try using a 4:3 theme as widescreen.)

Drop Down Menu Using CSS Only

Apex 3.2
I have created a drop down menu for my application by following this blog
http://www.grassroots-oracle.com/2013/05/css-pull-down-menu-using-apex-list.html
It works perfectly if my list has only one level, but I can't get it working for sub items.
If I add a sub item to my list, then the whole menu displays incorrectly.
Has anybody used this blog before
I would post on the blog, but it requires a google acount, which I am not allowed to create
Gus

Hi Gus,
Have you read the comment from ino?
Thanks Scott, very useful.
One update: this works if there are no sub menus. For the same reason as you described about the <ul> bug, you can change the Sublist with sublist items to
<li><a href="#LINK#" class="dir">#TEXT#</a><ul>
(extra <ul> at the end). Took me a while to figure out why my sub menus were not showing properly, until I read your comment in the "Sublist template before rows" section.
It looks to me that this would solve your problem.
