How to overwrite certain drop down menu items

Hi,
i have a dropdown menu where i disabled custom text entry. the last item in the dropdown is the "Other" option where I want the user to write extra details. I was wondering if there's a way to pop up a text field when the "Other" option is selected.
Also, the dropdown field stretches all the way across the page..so when the "Other" option is chosen, would it be possible to automatically shrink the field to fit a text field next to it for the user to type in details.
I'm not sure if there's a better way to do this....any help would be much appreciated!
thanks!!

Hi,
Hopefully you will get it working soon.
I suspect that the form is not saved as Dynamic:
Other than that, double check the that the object references in the script matches the objects in the forms, including subforms if objects are in different subforms.
If you could share the problem it would help finding the problem.

Multiple drop down menu items to populate the a separate text box...more help please

Thanks to Gilad D67 for showing me how to have multiple drop down menu items appear in a separate text box. This stuff blows my mind. Is there any script I can use to make a new drop down menu item appear in the same text box, but on a new line below a previous entry. For example. I select 'cat' from my drop down menu and it appears in my text box. Now I choose 'dog' from my menu and it appears in my text box like so 'cat dog.' Is there any way I can make 'dog' go straight to a new line automatically without having to manually go into the text box and change it?
cat
dog (new selection goes straight to a new line)
Now, I don't have a clue if this is also possible, but imagine, I don't like my drop down menu selection of 'dog' and I go back into the menu and I change to 'rat' but in the text box, 'dog' still appears and 'rat' is added. Do I have to manually delete 'dog' from the text box or is there script that can do this for me.
Any assistance would be incredible. It amazes me how people know this stuff.
This is the script I have so far
(function () {
    // Do nothing if not committed
    if (event.willCommit) return;
    // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
    var aQuotes = [3];
    // Populate the array with the paragraph text
    aQuotes[0] = "Use common singular nouns, plural nouns [plural ‘s’] and proper names to say what things are"
    aQuotes[1] = "Use numbers 1–10 to count"
    aQuotes[2] = "Use basic adjectives and colours to say what someone/something is or has"
    // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
    var item = event.changeEx
    // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
    getField("Text30").value += " " + aQuotes[item];

You have to set the option for the text field to be multiline and then change the last line of the script to:
getField("Text30").value += "\r" + aQuotes[item];
To reset the field you can use a separate button with a Clear Form command, and then you just select this one field from the list.

Multiple drop down menu items to populate the same separate text box. How can I do it?

In Acrobat Pro X, I've figured out how to create a drop down menu with items that will populate a separate text box, but how can I get multiple menu items to populate the same text box. For example. My drop down menu has three items cat, dog, mouse. I choose cat and it appears in my separate text box (hooray). Next, I choose 'dog' from the same menu. I would like it to appear in the same text box along with my previous selection 'cat.' Is this possible? I'm very new to Java Script, any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

She is the script I'm using
(function () {
    // Do nothing if not committed
    if (event.willCommit) return;
    // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
    var aQuotes = [3];
    // Populate the array with the paragraph text
    aQuotes[0] = "cat"
    aQuotes[1] = "dog"
    aQuotes[2] = "mouse"
    // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
    var item = event.changeEx
    // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
    getField("Text field 1").value = aQuotes[item];

Acrobat Forms - Make fillable text box appear after box checked or drop down menu item selected

I have been asked to build an approvals form for my workplace however the approval processes vary considerably depending on the subject. I have been asked to create a list of topics in the form of check boxes or a drop down menu which will then populate a list of text boxes with differing approval authorities and corresponding spaces for signatures. i.e. if 'Topic 1' is selected a list of names and signature spaces will appear, however if 'Topic 2' is selected a different list of names and signature spaces will appear instead.
In order to achieve this I think I only need to find out how to link check boxes or drop down menu items to the appearance of different text boxes.
I should also add that I am a beginner with this stuff.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

Remove the red coloured part
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible {
left: auto;
top:0;
or start again with the original SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css and follow the rules as in http://www.dwcourse.com/dreamweaver/ten-commandments-spry-menubars.php#one.
Either way will get you back on track.
Good luck.

My Bookmarks category on the toolbar has a Trojan Horse logo on four of the drop down menu items.

I have a Mac G5 desktop with OX 10.5.8. My Safari browser was hacked by TH malware, and so I deleted it because it is too old to update to Mavericks.
I am now using Firefox. I see now that the trojan is embedded in my Bookmarks bar, on the drop down menu items. I'm am having trouble resetting Firefox, nor can I get the Malwarebytes that I downloaded to open and run. I have cleared the history, cookies, cache on my computer. I have also deleted Java, MSN, and the old email Mail and its settings from the hard drive.
I'm a low-tech techie. Thank you for your ideas,
svidor

Are you able to give screenshots or other information so we know more about your problem.
*[[How to make screenshots]]
*[[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
I have no idea what the trojan is / was but there have been quite a few reports of pseudo ransomware. This demands money and makes it appear that Firefox is locked up. If you are lucky and have that sort of problem it is easy to get out of.
* see for example this thread [/questions/981475]
If you have book marked sites with malware Firefox provdes you an option to forget about sites that may resolve the issue.

How to add a drop-down menu to a rollover image?

Hi,
I guess my title says it all... I was wondering how to add a drop-down menu to a rollover image? I know that there's the sprymenu, but I need to have my own rollover images.
Thanks,
Kazem

Frankly, ANY link can offer a drop down.
Take a look at this turorial.
That will get you your dropdown menu. So you have that.
Now, on your top menu (or any level where you want to have an image instead of text do this:
(I am copying the HTML structure in the tutorial here):
<nav>
          <ul>
                    <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Tutorials</a>
                              <ul>
                                        <li><a href="#">Photoshop</a></li>
                                        <li><a href="#">Illustrator</a></li>
                                        <li><a href="#">Web Design</a></li>
                              </ul>
                    </li>
                    <li><a href="#">Articles</a>
                              <ul>
                                        <li><a href="#">Web Design</a></li>
                                        <li><a href="#">User Experience</a></li>
                              </ul>
                    </li>
                    <li><a href="#">Inspiration</a></li>
          </ul>
</nav>
Now, let's pretend you want an image instead of the word "Articles." You'll want the image to be sized appropriately, and if you look at the CSS, you'll see it's 112 pixels wide by 52 high. If your image is approximately those dimensions, you're all set.
So instead of "articles" you insert your image.
Done.

Drop down menu item

Hi i am trying to figure out how to make a drop down menu on the business catalyst admin console

    <li>
    <a href="/Previewer.html">Code Previewer</a>
    </li>
</ul>
unfortunately my dashboard looks like this
so i can not do the normal method.
please help and i am sorry this is probably obvious but im new to this and am unsure so i apologize in advance.

In terms of what the poster is asking and "BC uses boostrap for most of its menu"
- Back end - You can not modify the admin unless you build an app, it is only control not style. - This does not use boostrap
- If on the front end:
-- CSS only html menu is just raw output - Not bootstrap
-- Default is that nasty tables, inline stuff and root BC CSS - not bootstrap
-- A basic BC site does not use bootstrap
Some of the templates do (not all of them) so it will depend on that and also if the module is just a module or module v2 and on what it is using. You often need to customise the boostrap basic CSS on a menu as it is not quite compatable as all BC templates that use it have.
Without more info though from the original poster you can only guess what he is refering to

Linking a page as a browser window from a drop-down menu item

I have tried to link from a drop-down menu item to link to a small browser window instead of a full page. I tried using the "behaviors" but I got both the regular page and the browser window. Is there a way to make it just the browser window.
Thanks.

I tried that target=_Blank" but I still got the regular page plus the small browser window . I got rid of the Behavior for now. My aim is to would display the page in a simple 450 wide x 450 long browser window with a scroll bar with nothing else. If you can give me a code hint to do that, It would be appreciated. I'll figure out the rest.
My HTML coding skills are limited, as I'm used to using FP.(FP seems to be to the Web circles as the Bard's Scottish Play is to the theatrical world)

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.

Adding a drop down menu item?

Can I add a drop down menu item from the interactive form opening page dropdown list.

Doug,
Ah, that's called the Action Menu and at this point there's no way to do that - at least not a supported method. You could always manipulate the "apexir_ACTIONSMENU" list...
This would make a good enhancement request.

The BBC is a drop-down menu item on my bookmarks toolbar. About 20% of the time, when I click on a news story, I get the link that's underneath, not the one on the drop-down menu. What the?

I don't understand why Firefox would take me to a link UNDERNEATH the link I clicked on in the drop-down menu. Items in the drop-down menu are supposed to be clickable. I'm tired of clicking on a BBC news story link only to be sent to the beanie babies page of Amazon.com.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I installed my third-to-latest upgrade, about 3.5

How to add my drop down menu to my website

I have been following a dreamweaver video to create a drop down menu with pure css which has turned out great. My problem is when you follow a video I followed the instructions and started a new html and then attached the css styles to the new html called "dropdownmenu". But as I don't know how to put it in my index page. I understand that css is the rules but how to I get it in my website. Most prob an easy one for all you experts out there!
I hope someone will help me please.
Thanks Karen
Oh im useing cs5.5

Thank you very much for taking you time to answer me. I have managed to do this but I get a bit confused with the files so I hope you can just help on this one!
I went to duplicate the dropdown.css file and put it in my css folder but the file was already there, also a link was in the css file altough it did not have "media=screen". I duplicated the dropdown.css and put it in my dropdown.html, not sure if that is right. This is how I have set out my files.                                                           Folder - dropdown
                                                                                                           -navMenu.html
                                                                                                           -dropdown.css
                                                                                   Folder - css
                                                                                                          - dropdown.css
                                                                                                          -styles.css
My index page link between the "head" is <link href="css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> ----so am I right in saying that the styles.css is determing the index page at mo and any future pages if I want.
And the link from the navMenu.html is <link href="../css/dropdown.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />------and this is getting the information from the dropdown css.
If I am correct do I need both copies of the dropdown.css? I hope this is nice and clear for you!
Once again thank you very much for your help.... it is very much appreciated! I spend most of my time learning from youtube and don't really like to bother people but after an hour of scratching my head I gave up!

Spry Tabbed Panels overwritting Flash drop down menu in IE

I am having an issue with Spry Tabbed Panels appearing above
a Flash drop down menu in IE6 & IE7 but it works fine in
Firefox. Would someone be able to educate me on what I can do to
fix this problem. The page that is exhibiting this problem is
http://us.shuttle.com/performance.aspx
I’ve tried adding “WMODE” to my flash menu,
also updated “SpryTabbedPanels.js to version 0.5 –
pre-release 1.6”, but neither way is
helping…….

Thank you very much for the suggestion. Yes, this is how I
tried:
.TabbedPanels {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
float: left;
clear: none;
width: 100%;
z-index: 1000;
I’ve been tried setting Z-index to from 50 to 2000 in
attached css, but still not working.

Drop-down menu items appearing all over screen ?

So i have a JSP webpage accessed by about 20 people. It has some drop-down fields for doing a search. After the search, the screen gets all messed up (this happens randomly and is hard to reproduce). It basically takes a drop-down menu's items and places them randomly across the screen.
I am not sure what is causing this, but if you have any ideas or suggestions, I will appriciate it. I am not posting any code yet, cuz i'm not sure where the problem is, or what it is?

The following is from the JSP where I feel the problem is occurring
   <%=XMLUtil.toString(XMLUtil.toHiddenField("pname", qSearch + ": " + queue.getName()) )%>
    <TABLE class="TITLE_TOP">
        <TR><TD><%=queueMgr.getSelectionModeSpecifier(null)%></TD>
            <TD align=right><A class=BUTTON href="javascript:startSearch();" onmouseover="return setStatus();"><%=pm_logon.map(PMConstant.SEARCH_BTN)%></A></TD></TR></TABLE>
        <TABLE class=PANEL>
        <TR><TD class=LABEL><%=pm_logon.map(PMConstant.MSG_QUEUE)%></TD>

                <%=pm_logon.map(PMConstant.MSG_PAGESIZE)%><%= XMLUtil.toString(mySearch.getPageSizeSpecifier() ) %></TD></TR>
        <TR><TD></TD><TD><%= myFilter %></TD></TR></TABLE>
        <BR>
    <%
        if (size > 0) {
    %>
    <%=XMLUtil.toSummary(pm_logon, size, mySearch, "mySearch")%>
    <%= XMLUtil.toString(mySearch.getPage("editColumn", false, false, false, false, false, true)) %>
    <%
        }else if( SearchManager.ACTION_SEARCH.equals(mySearch.getSearchAction()) ){
    %>
         <%=XMLUtil.toWarning(pm_logon.map(PMConstant.MSG_NO_REC), pm_config.queueAutoRefreshInterval()<= 0 )%>
    <%
