How can I get a drop down choice to auto populate another cell?

Hey there.
I have a drop down list of options and for my spreadsheet to do What i need ot to do, I need to assign each choice a different value. How can I do this so that when I pick "choice 1" it will place a pre determined value in a different cell?

You can add a table that provide a list of items (that are in the pop up menu) and a corresponding value (shown on the right):
In the table on the left you can refer to the table "Price List" to locate the item in column A, then retrieve the corresponding value from column B.
B2=VLOOKUP(A2,Price List::A:B,2,0)
this is shorthand for... select cell B1, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
=VLOOKUP(A2,Price List::A:B,2,0)
select cell B2, copy
now select column B, then unselect cell B1, by holding the command key and clicking cell B1
paste
change the pop-up menus in column A as needed.

How can I get a drop-down list selection also be selected in another field with the same list but a different name?

I have a street address and a billing address. A question is posed with a checkbox — "Is the billing address the same as the street address?" If Yes is checked, the street address automatically fills the billing fields. If No is checked, the user must fill in new information. In both the street address and billing addres, the State field is a drop-down list. How can I get the drop-down list selection in the street address State also be selected in drop-down list for the billing address State?

Has anyone done this?

How can I get the drop down menu on the internet to work, which shows most visited websites? It was working on Firefox, and now doesn't.

On the internet when using Firefox, the drop down menu on recently visited sites (where you type in web addresses), does not work. How can I get it drop down and show websites that I recently visited, so I can click on them there instead of retyping them every time?

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing":
* Firefox (Tools) > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Made a drop down menu. How can I get the drop down to fade in and out? !

Hi guys!
I've created a drop down menu (with the help of you legends on here! )...Now I just need it to animate so when the user hovers over the main menu item, the drop down fades in.
Here's the HTML I have...
    <ul id="nav">
        <li><a href="#">Nav 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Nav 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Nav 3</a>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 1</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 2</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 3</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">» Sub Menu 4</a></li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li><a href="#">Nav 5</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Nav 6</a></li>
    </ul>
...and here's my CSS...
ul#nav {width:920px; height:35px; list-style:none; padding:0; margin:0; background:url(navBg.jpg) repeat-x; z-index:999;}
ul#nav li a:hover, #nav li a:active {background:url(navOn.jpg) repeat-x; text-decoration:none;}
ul#nav li a {color:#E0E2E7; display:inline-block; float:left; margin:0; padding:10px 19px; width:auto; text-decoration:none;}
* html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; } /* for IE 6 */
* + html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; } /* for IE 7 */
#nav ul {width:208px; left:-9999em; list-style:none; margin:35px 0; padding:0; position:absolute; z-index:999;}
#nav li:hover ul {left:auto;}
#nav li {float:left;}
#nav li li a {width:190px; background-color:#efefef; color:#2e2e2e; padding:8px; margin:0; }
#nav li li a:hover {background-color:#000; background-image:none; color:#FFF;}
#nav li:hover {background:url(assets/images/frame/navOn.jpg);}
From what I can make out, I assume I need either Javascript or JQuery...
Does anyone know how I can get the drop down to fade in and out?
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

Yes, you'll need a client-side script to do fade-in/fade-out fx. Look at jQuery Superfish.

How can I get bookmark drop down to extend folder list to the left instead of the right?

Recently cleaned up my bookmarks. Previously when I clicked on the bookmark file bar icon (between history and tools buttons at the top of the screen) the bookmark drop down would appear with my folders and links (as expected) and when I moused over a folder it would open a drop down list on the left of the main bookmark drop down but now it is opening on the right. How can I get it back to opening on the right?
This is not about having a bookmark pane always open on the left side of the window. Rather it is about how to control how the drop down menus act. (OSX 10.9.3 and Firefox 30.0)
Thanks!

So I think I understand what your suggesting but I have a folder inside a folder that has long names and it opens back to the left (after the initially opening to the right) and appears to overlay the screen space needed to display the titles.
If your right (no pun intended) then the programming that supports the drop down menu display would need to scan through all the enclosed folders looking for the potentially longest title to determine which way to open the list?
I know that this is a minor issue but it does seem that something may have changed here. It would be nice if there was away to control this part of the drop down operation. Thanks!

How can I get the drop down window for a ID and P/W "Always remember" Auto Fill

Recently I had a mail issue with my ATT (Yahoo) Mail account and they temporarily changed by Password.
After the issue was resolved I changed it back but the auto fill kept the temporary Password in Safari when I log onto my e-mail account via the internet instead of the Apple Mail program.
In the Past, whenever I would put a different P/W or ID there would be a drop down window that said :
Never, later or Always remember", at least something like that terminology.
Since I have had no reason to change P/W or ID lately I do ot know if it is Lion issue or if there is a way of getting the drop down to appear.
Thanks,
Greg

If I am not making my request understood, please let me know and I will try and reword it.
It is always easy to understand what I are asking but it does not always mean that others understand it.
Thanks,
Greg

How can i get a drop down menu or check list control

i want to give the user a choice between 7 options on the front panel. i want either a check list or drop down menu.thanks

You can use any of the ring controls to generate a drop down list. The ring controls are found on the Controls >> Ring & Enum palette. You program the drop down items the same way with any of these controls. Type the first drop down item on the control. Right click on the control and select "add item after". The controls text field will blank out and you can enter your second item. Repeat for every item on the list you need to generate. After you are done entering items, click on the control with the application tool and you will see a drop down menu of all the items you entered.

Elements 9 - text, font family - how can I get the drop down menu to work?

I can't change the text fonts in Elements 9. Most everything else seems to work except the font family drop down menu. When I click on the arrow, the menu drops but immediately dissappears. The font size drop down works but not the family menu. Help please.

I think it's usually a restriction of short displays on netbooks and laptops etc. You may have to live with it unless you can change display resolution via the control panel.

How do I get a drop down menu to auto default to option selected a value other than the default written in the javascript?

I use web based software where I have to select from a drop down menu a particular option. However, I only ever use 1 option. Sometimes as much as 100 times a day. Is there anyway to get Firefox to auto select the same option every time? I don't have access to the source code so I cant change <option selected="selected" value="">.

A possibility would be a Greasemonkey script to do this automatically or a JavaScript bookmarklet to do it manually.
You would need to remove the selected="selected" from the currently selected option and set that attribute for the wanted option.
You can test the bookmarklet here:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element/select
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var d=document,s=d.getElementsByTagName('SELECT')[0],o=s.getElementsByTagName('OPTION'),S='selected',v='value1',i;for(i=0;O=o[i];i++){if(O.value==v){O.setAttribute(S,S);O.selected=true}else{O.removeAttribute(S);O.selected=false;}}})();</nowiki></pre>
If there are more 'selects' then you need to adjust the element number [0] and you also need to adjust the value of the wanted option.
