How to make a Previous/Next Menu

Hi there. This is my first time posting in the Adobe forums so please be patient if I don't do things correctly.
I currently have the Adobe Web Design CS5 package and all the programs that come with it, but my question is specifically about Dreamweaver. My computer is a Macbook with the latest operating system as far as I know.
I've been trying to create a next/previous menu for parts of my own personal website. It's http://www.aidenart.com . If you click on the link to the Concept Art page you should see a bunch of image thumbnails that act as links. Click on any one of those images and you're suppose to see the full image from the thumbnail in a whole new page. On the pages with the full images I would like to include, at the bottom, a jump menu so that a visitor can pick any of the pages that they might want to see (I already know how to do this part), but I would also like to include buttons which allow the visitor to visit the next image in the list and also the previous one in the list. You know, a previous and next menu. I've seen other websites using those kinds of buttons so I know it's possible somehow.
By looking at the source code of some websites and doing a bit of research on my own, I think this can be done using javascript of some kind. Maybe by using an "onClick" behaviour or something. I looked at a few different web help sites, including W3 Schools, and I still haven't found any clear cut explanations on how to make a previous/next menu. If someone could just show me the basic code for making a simple one that actual works then I could probably work from that.
I would prefer it if I didn't have to bother with the dreamweaver extenstions section because most things listed in the exchange are something you have to pay for. And for those of you who think I should just make individual links on each page, please keep in mind that I'll want to add more pages in the future. Most likely a lot of pages. I also want to be able to make previous/next menus for the comics section of my website for when I have more comic pages available, so I really need to know how to do this.
I hope that was enough information for you guys. I can try to provide code if you guys want although I'm not sure how that would help solve my current problem.

Only way to do pagination effectively requires either a database or XML files containing your data. Neither way is really for a beginner based on my experience with both. And based on the size of your library right now, pagination isn't what you really need.
If it is going to be an image gallery you could look into the php Gallery script if you have a mySQL database ( http://gallery.menalto.com/ ). But for simple solutions.
For even smaller solutions you can look to JQuery solutions. They require minimal amounts of coding, mostly just file inclusions.

It's just about finding one that meets your needs and gives you the ability to customize as you see fit.

how to make chooser drop down menu, Example i want choices 1 or 2 or 3 from the drop down menu or Location , Egypt , USA , Canda

Hello,
Where do you want to insert it in Muse. Do you want to add this in Muse Form widget then you can use the widget mentioned in the link below.
Forms+ Bundle Widget – Widgets.Mu
If you want to insert it anywhere else in Muse and if you have the HTML codes for that then you can insert its codes in page from Object > Insert HTML.
You may also require to use some java scripts to make them working as expected.

How to make a fly-out menu item checked?

Hi,
is there a way to make a fly-out menu item (coming from an XML list) checked - like in this example:
by the way, I know it's been submitted as a bug already, but fyi sub-menu items (2-1 in the following example) don't work as expected:
var xmlMenu:XML =
    <Menu>
      <MenuItem Id="item_1" Label="Item 1"/>
      <MenuItem Label="Item 2">
        <MenuItem Label="Item 2-1"/>
      <MenuItem/>
      <MenuItem Label="---"/>
      <MenuItem Label="Item 3"/>
     </Menu>;
Thanks in advance!

If Harbs says nope, it's nope
At least now I know it. Thanks!

How to Make DropDowns in Navigation Menu Fit

cs4
http://ahy4life.com/test2/index.php
The client wishes to have nine dropdowns in the navigation menu at top. Only eight are ostensibly visible just now, even tho they exist in the code. While I can change the width of each menu item, how can I make "Meet the Owners" and "Events & Promos" appear on two lines. For example:
Events &
Promos
Please disregard the improper alignment of the dropdowns; I will correct those once this other issue is addressed.
Thanks, -Biggs

hello,
Looks like you have some significan code problems in your page. These need to fixed before you can address the difficulities you describe.

Editing complete, now how to make a DVD with menu

This is my first go through with PP CS4 and I'm nearly complete. I've edited my entire video and I've organized my project into about 40 sequences. Now I'd like to create a DVD menu for it and export the entire project to DVD (likely more than one since it totals nearly 4 hours). I'm looking to create a looping video at the menu with a couple options like "play all", "scene selection", and "bonus features". Each of my sequences is a different scene. What is my next step, what program(s) do I use from here to make this happen? After reading some other threads it looks like Encore is the direction I need to head in, but since this is my first time, I'm unfamiliar at the moment.
Any tips and/or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
Ben

How to make the spacing between menu items equal with varied menu item sizes

If the title isn't clear, what I mean is how do you make the space between each of the items in a horizontal the same when some of the menu items are up to double the size of others. Currently I am using the margin property and the space between the larger items is smaller than between the smaller items.
If you need more information just ask.

Screenshots don't tell the whole story which is contained in your HTML and CSS code.
Without a link to your test page or a look at your code (all of it) the best we can provide is wild guesses.
Help us help YOU by providing a link.
HOW IMPORTANT IS CODE? A Plea to new posters.

How to make a play all menu and a play single movies menu

Hi, I'm a noob with Encore and trying to make a dvd menu, but can't seem to get it right.
I have in total 6 movieclips which I would like to make en menu for. I have made a menu, where there are a play all button and a kind of chapter button.
I have linked alle movies as end action to each other, expect the last of cause - paly all menu done - check
Then in the "chaptersmenu" I took the first clip and changed the override setting to the "chaptersmenu", but when I do that the link between clip 2 and 3 becomes dashed instead of solid, and when I preview it stops after the second clip on play all.
What am I doing wrong and how should I do it, to accomplis what I like?

Just to recap, so I understand it correct.
I link each movie specific button to the specific movie, with action of "last menu" and no override. Then for the play all, I create en playlist containing all movies, and the play all button is then linked to that playlist.
I'll try that when I get home. After I made the question yesterday, I came to think, if I could use Premiere to help me out. So I made a sequence, with all movies in, and created some chapter marks, and that I could get to Work in Encore. So now the computer is just sweating to create the dvd structure, so I can test it.
I don't know which is the correct way to do it, or if it just a matter of taste, but it seems that Premiere sequence requires a lot more space on the disk then with separate movies. But I have dual layer disks, so guess that doesn't make any difference.

How to make a DVD without menu, just tracks

I don't know where to put this question, under which forum, so I'll try it at DVD SP.
A friend of mine is working as a DVD VJ, using videoclips and music. He uses Music-DVD's with videoclips on it but most DVD's have a menu to start with, in which you can't skip forward or continue. So I ripped the DVD in chapters (the tracks) and now I would like to have them burned again on a DVD. In toaster it creates, after burning, 12 different tracks but you have to go to 'menu' first before getting to another track. I would like to be able to go from track to track as on a CD. Does anyone know how to do that?
I have FCP, DVD SP, Compressor, Toaster

I've tried to make the different clips into track 1 with end jumps, or into 4 tracks with end jumps and having one First play. It works in playing and skipping the tracks from 1 to 2 to 3 and to 4, but I can't skip back then or forward again. And being a DVD DJ my friend needs to be able to skip to track 4, and back to 1, or 2...without having to go to the menu. So this options is not working.
Someone has other options?

Is there a tutorial on how to make a long press menu appear on a table item with storyboard?

Hi there!
I'm very new to app development and i've been playing around with designing a few. I wanted to know, how can you create a long press menu appear when pressing and holding on a table item. Id like it to pull up a menu with 3 options, each leading to its own view depending on what one is selected.
Is there a decent tutorial out there for a beginner? I'm using the newest xCode with storyboard and all the tutorials i found are for older xCode versions.

Greg,
This topic is covered elegantly in an older book by Al Ward. The directions are too long to post here. The book is still available - at Amazon for $0.46 + postage!!
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=photoshop +elements+2+special+effects&x=11&y=12
He wrote this for PEv.2, yet it requires only the basic tools which remain in the more recent versions of the program.

How to make Changes to Brush Menu Button Template!

I know this should be easy, but I'm not having luck so I thought I'd ask the forum:
I am using the BRUSH template for a chapter index. The default chapter button drop zones for the video look as if they have a hazy effect over them. I'm trying in vain to make changes to this so the video appears crisp and clear but I can't find out how to modify these drop zones.
Can anyone help? Thanks!
Jenny

It's not the drop zones themselves, it's the "patches" that are used to fill the drop zones. The patches are Apple-supplied image files, difficult to locate. I don't know if they're editable but you want to make a copy of the entire template file before you go in and start messing with it.

How to make moving/scrolling photo menu?

http://media.moma.org/subsites/2008/miro/flashsite/index.html
How can I do this?
when you move left and right and paintings move. and when you
click on a painting, you see the the title and it links to another
page on the site.

....I'm pretty sure google ads are flash files.
What you can make with photoshop are GIFs, not flash files. GIFs aren't very professional, so I'd advise against it. Most sites use flash and css.
Otherwise check out pfaffenbichler's link. If you need a simple moving object, instead of moving it every frame, I suggest just setting the start position and the end position, then tween the frames in-between. There are tons of GIF tutorials out there.

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.
