how do i get my drop down menus to stay open longer

In fact, once one is down, moving the mouse over other menubar options drops those down and raises the other.

How do I get spry drop down menus to display infront of my content?

Hi,
I am currently using DW CS4 to create a website for a uni project. I have created a Spry Menu bar which displays correctly when I preview it however I have uploaded a few pages to my site to test them and the drop down menus disappear behind my content. Is there any way I can fix this?
My web address is www.nataliemiddlemore.110mb.com if you want to have a look. There is currently only 3 pages uploaded.
Also the drop down menus do accross the page horizontally rather than drop down underneath each other. Is there a way to fix this?
I would be very grateful for any help and am only a beginner so keep it as simple as possible for me.
Thankyou in advance.

You have used Absolutely Positioned Divs for your primary content. AP Divs are (by definition) taken out of the normal flow of the page. When they are in the code after the menus, they might show in front of them. I did not experience that on my system, however.
I don't see any overriding reason...beyond the thought that AP Divs are easy to make and place...for using AP Divs. Your page structure is very stable, and normal relatively-positioned Divs should work just fine.
As to the drop down menus trailing horizontally across the page, control the width of this: ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul to contain the left-floating list items. That style selector shows up in the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css stylesheet. The submenus should then fall vertically.

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 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.

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 do I get a Drop-down menu on back/forward button

How do I get the old (FF3) Drop-down menu on the back/forward button, so I can go back/forward more than 1 page at a time?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

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,

How can I remove transparent drop down menus?

I do a lot of screen shots for technical documents and the drop down menus are a problem because they are semi transparent on my new (bought used) macbook pro. Is there a way to make them more opaque on the MBP? I had another macbook pro (same model) that did not have this problem. They are both 2008 model 5.1 17" inch.

I do a lot of screen shots too and while I don't know of a way to alter the menus themselves, I tend to shoot them over blank white documents. Or if the document window cannot be white for some reason, I move it down out of the way and shoot the menus with the Backdrop application in the background. The Backdrop application (free at the App Store) does nothing more than put up a black full screen window which I set to white and then stack behind the current application.

How do I get my drop down lists in alphabetical order?

Got a new computer and installed Firefox 3.6.10. I moved over my bookmarks, etc. from the old computer. However, all of my drop-down lists are not in alphabetical order any more. And if I use one of the entries, it will sometimes move to a different order than it had been when I clicked on it. How do I get them back in alphabetical order?

The entries for form field are in current Firefox version is the order that you add them and not ordered alphabetically.<br />
Maybe an extension like Autofill Forms can sort them.
I'm not using it, so you need to check that yourself.

How do I get a drop-down menu to choose SMTP when composing an email in Apple Mail?

Apple Mail used to have a drop-down menu in the Composing Mail window to select the SMTP server to use. It is no longer there, in Yosemite (10.10.1). How do I get that back?

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. That's exactly what DW offers validation behaviors or Spry Validation for. Select the form element(s) required to validate, apply the behavior, set the options in the dialog. Done.

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 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.
