the text in the menu and link to that page,
Is it possible?

Can't choose multiple items from drop down menu...

Been trying to hold down Control button while clicking, thought that worked before. Did I disable something unintentionally?

The Control key works like that on MS Windows. On the Mac, it brings up the contextual menu when clicking, i.e. it simulates a right-click. That works with both single button and multiple button mice.
You want to use Command (the apple key) for selecting more than one item, such as items 2, 7, and 5 from a list. You can also use Shift when you want everything in between so you don't have to click on each one, like items 3-8 in a list.
This works when selecting items in the Finder or selecting items from a list that allows you to select more than one item, such as Mail or perhaps choices on a web page.
Not all lists will allow you select more than one item since sometimes you are suppose to select only one.

Drop Down menu problem/hyperlink

In the attached file, I cannot get the links on the drop down menu to work (schools, contact us, etc.) I need them to hyperlink to other pages.
Any help is appreciated.

The dropdown links have arrow src refereneces but the last link 'Geom Prod Specifications' doesn't but the arrow is still showing.
My guess is that the right arrow is hard coded to appear when a child menu is linked to a submenu item.
Why do you have an arrow on submenu items which don't have child menus linked to them?

Equal Space between Menu Items and Drop Down Menü left aligned not possible?

It seems like I can either have equal spacing between the horizontal menu items and the drop down menu will show up centered , or I say the menu items should be of equal size, and then drop down will be left aligned. Is there any way of having equal space AND left aligned drop down???? Thanks in advance!

Hello Anjum,
Thank you for reporting the issue. It seems to be a Bug and we have logged the same. Hopefully it will get fixed in coming releases.
As of now we do not have any workaround for same. However once we have some workaround, we will definitely share it with you.

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

How do I create a drop down menu with multiple items in Adobe Acrobat 9?

I am trying to create a drop down menu with four items within a field box. When I try to do this
the font is too big and it just doesn't fit.

You can use panel widget to create manual menu where set to show target on rollover.
Something like this :

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.

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.

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.

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>
            <TD><%= XMLUtil.toString(queueMgr.getQueueIdSpecifier())%></TD></TR>
        <TR><TD class=LABEL><%=pm_logon.map(PMConstant.MSG_FILTER)%></TD>
            <TD><%= XMLUtil.toString(myFilter.getFilterCountSpecifier() ) %>
                <%=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 )%>
    <%
    %>the following is a method from the XMLUtil being called:
    public static String toString(Node node)
        StringWriter out = null;

        String returnString = null;
        try
            out = new StringWriter();
            domWriter = new DOMWriter(out);
            domWriter.print(node);
            out.flush();
            returnString = out.toString();

            try

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];

I cannot open more than 1 Tab per window. The "+" does not work as well as the item "New Tab" from the File drop-down menu. What shall I do ?

I have just removed FireFox and reinstalled it again on my Mac Book PRO.
When I open FIreFox I canNOT open more than 1 TAB.
I click on the "+"on the top line of the window. It should open another TAB but id does NOT.
I click on the File item in the top menu bar. A drop-down menu pops up. I click on "New Tab" and nothing happens.
How can I get more than 1 Tab on the same window ?
This feature works with Safari !
Thank you so much.
Best regards

We have seen reports about a Community Toolbar extension causing this issue with not being able to open a new tab.
So if you have such a toolbar then start with disabling it.

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)

Selecting an item in a Drop Down Menu to activate a field

Hi,
I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES to create a dynamic form and I wish to have an 'other' field appear when 'other' has been selected in drop down menu. I've worked out how to give each of the drop down items a Specified Item Value and use this to trigger the presence of the 'other' field. However I'm not sure which event to use to activate the presence code.
Thanks in advance.

You can write the code either in the change event of the dropdown or in the Exit event of the dropdown.
If you use the change event use the below syntax..
     if(xfa.event.newText =="Other")
          fieldName.presence = "visible";
If you are using the exit event use the below syntax..
     if(this.rawValue =="Other")
          fieldName.presence = "visible";
Sample file is at the below location..
