How can I create a rollover drop down menu from a link in Dreamweaver CS5?

Hello all, I am working on a portfolio website and I was just wanting to know if there is any way that I can create a drop down menu from a text link that cascades once the cursor has made contact with the link. I would like to have it in my navigation bar where the Portfolio link is. Basically, my navigation bar looks like this : Home | Resume | Portfolio | Contact. I only want three items on the drop down menu beneath the portfolio link: Traditional Art, Photography, Graphic Design. I would really appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!

Have a look at what Nancy does http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/CSS-Horiz-menu-2.shtml

How can I get the airport drop down menu to allow me to enter a WPA2 Personal Password

Powerbook G4, with Airport Card firmware 9.52. Through the System Preferences, Network, using the "edit" button, I can enter a WPA2 Personal password, but when I go to connect to the network, the drop down menu only allows me to enter a WEP Password. And, obviously, I get an error message saying I have the wrong password. Why can I use WPA2 in the system preferences, but the airport menu doesn't then allow me to enter a WPA2 password to connect?

Try Connect to Other... from the Airport menu.

How do you Make an Interactive Drop Down Menu in Adobe Acrobat Pro That Uses Hyperlinks?

Hi first off let me point out and apologise in advance for my ignorance and possibly my misuse of the correct terms, I'm new to this.
Anyway here goes, my best attempt to try and explain myself. Using Adobe Acrobat Pro I am trying to create a drop down menu that lists a set of documents. Once you click an item in the drop down menu it then opens up the corresponding document. So far example the Menu reads "Documents" and below it there is three options "Dogs" "Cats" "Hotdogs" when you click on "Hotdogs" you open up the document for hotdogs etc.
I have actually done it once before using Javascript and a combo box and I think basically you buried the links to documents in a series of bookmarks, the Javascript code then was basically a shortcut to activate those bookmarks.
So in short, could someone please tell me the code I would need to make this happen? I have looked extensively for the right forum post to see if my question has already been covered but I couldn't find anything and I possibly could have been using the wrong search terms.
Please ask me to clarify anything to help you understand what it is I'm asking.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
Elliot.

Hey I think I found a solution to my own problem I made an "OK Button" right click>properties>actions>select action>run a javascript>add - and executed this code:
function searchBookmarks(bkm, nLevel, bkmName)
if ( bkm.name == bkmName ) return bkm;
if (bkm.children != null) {
for (var i = 0; i < bkm.children.length; i++)
var bkMark = searchBookmarks(
bkm.children[i], nLevel + 1, bkmName);
if ( bkMark != null ) break;
return bkMark;
return null;
function bookmarksAsPopUp(bookmarks)
   if(bookmarks && bookmarks.children)
     for(var i=0;i<bookmarks.children.length;i++)
bookmarkName = bookmarks.children[i].name.replace(/\s{2,}/g,' ');
while (bookmarkName.indexOf(String.fromCharCode(11)) > 0)
bookmarkName = bookmarkName.substring(0,bookmarkName.indexOf(String.fromCharCode(11))) +" "+ bookmarkName.substring(bookmarkName.indexOf(String.fromCharCode(11))+1)
popUp = popUp+"{cName: '"+bookmarkName+"', cReturn: '"+bookmarkName+"'" ;
if(bookmarks.children[i].children)
          popUp = popUp + ", oSubMenu: [";
   bookmarksAsPopUp(bookmarks.children[i]);
   popUp = popUp + "]";
popUp = popUp+"}";
if (i != bookmarks.children.length-1)
popUp = popUp+", "
   return popUp;
var popUp = "";
bookmarksAsPopUp(this.bookmarkRoot);
var cChoice = eval("app.popUpMenuEx(" + popUp + ")" ) ;
bkm = searchBookmarks(this.bookmarkRoot, 0, cChoice );
if ( bkm != null ) bkm.execute();
Then you can just add your own bookmarks and they populate the pop-up menu automatically (including the hierarchy sub menu structure, you nest bookmarks within a main book mark.) which is a more efficient way than the one I used before.
I take no credit for this by the way my source is here PDF Bookmarks as a PopUp Menu | The Practical:PDF Blog
I hope this helps anybody looking to do the same.

How to import excel list into drop down menu in acrobat pro DC

Does anyone know if an excel list of 527 items can be imported into a drop down menu in adobe acrobat DC? I am on a mac v10.10.

I would convert the Excel worksheet into a tab delimited file. Edit that file in a text editor, not Word, into a list that meets the formatting for the array for the setItems. method. Then add the code to use that array to set the items for the drop down field. So you have something like:
var MyItems = new Array("One", "Two", "Three");
this.getField("Dropdown1").setItems(MyItems);
You can then cut and paste this into the JavaScript console, highlight text and execute the text. Or cut and paste the code into a document level JavaScript.

How to make animated drop down menu responsive?

Hi
I've made an animated drop down menu in Edge Animate. It works fine at 945px wide with drop downs coming from 4 of the links. When the window is resized to 700px I want to reduce the 8 top links down to 4 and have longer drop downs and the same again at 400px wide. How do I do this as Edge has no media queries. do I use symbols?
Thanks.

Hi garyt88,
Found something that could help although I have to admit that I have not tried it myself.

This is usually caused by one or more bookmarks having a long title.
You can check that folder in the Library and shorten long names.

How do I reset the font drop-down menu?

In the font drop-down menu, all used fonts are listed on top of the rest. Now I got a long pile of used fonts, but only two fonts among them are most frequently used, and I want to keep only these two on top of the drop-down menu. How do I reset the list (clear the history)? Thanks.

Mine shows only the last 6 used fonts. Note that you can option click the fonts drop down menu to show them only by name, without their preview, thus saving you some space.

How do I get the complete drop down Menu?

How do I get the complete drop down menu when I CTRL-Mouse click a folder. I am getting MORE in the bottom, and I need it to be removed.
Thanks

The "More" area in the contextual menu's are bothering quite a few people. It's a feature of Leopard and can't be removed. There may be a hack available, but I'm waiting for some help from Apple...
It reminds me of the Personalized menu's that Microsoft enables by default in some versions of MS Office for Windows. And it's a feature that I turn off immediately after installing Office for a client.

How can I get my Bookmark drop down list back?

I had to clear and restore my Macbook Pro and when I installed Firefox the drop down Bookmark menu is gone. I have the same version of Firefox on two computers and one has the drop down menu and this one doesn't. How do I get it back?

Do you mean the star on the location/address bar to bookmark the current page?
You can try to click the Restore Defaults button in the Customize palette.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
*View > Toolbars<br>Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup

How to get "tones" tab in drop down menu

how to get "tones" tab in drop down menu

I assume that you are referring to the categories on your iTunes library (?), if you are then go into Edit > Preferences and on the General tab make sure that Tones is ticked
You can also enable the left-hand sidebar on iTunes 11 on a PC via control-S, which then allows you to view the sections of your library (those enabled in Preferences) via that sidebar, and if you have iOS devices they will also show on that sidebar when connected.

Animated drop-down menu buttons won't respond onRelease

I created a drop-down menu movie clip. Within it are multiple
buttons which change their alpha values. I'm having an impossible
time of getting the buttons to respond to an onRelease from the
maintimeline.
for instance:
stop();
_root.menu_mc.print_btn.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("print1");
_root.menu_mc.illustration_btn.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("illustration1");
I can't place any code directly on the buttons because later
in the timeline the actionscript needs to change for the same
buttons:
stop();
_root.menu_mc.print_btn.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("print2");
_root.menu_mc.illustration_btn.onRelease = function(){
gotoAndStop("illustration2");
}

i don't think so. Sorry for my ignorance, but the code you
see is basically the only code I have in the movie.
menu_mc is located directly on the maintime line. Inside of
menu_mc are the buttons. If I place a button instance inside of
menu_mc (and there are not multiple instances of it) I can use an
onRelease and it works fine.
I can create an invisible button, place it over the animated
button and get the onRelease to work, however, since the buttons
are rollovers, I loose the animation with the invisible button
covering them up. I can't seem to target multiple instances of the
same button in the movieclip. is there any way around this?
