Editing Drop Down Menus in Contribute

I have a client who is using contribute and wants to edit
drop down menus. These drop down menus link to individual pdfs and
she changes the names of the pdfs on a regular basis and wants to
update these links in the drop down menus. The site was created in
Dreamweaver. In role preferences of Contribute I turned on the
allow unrestricted editiing which allows form elements to be
edited. However I cannot figure out how to change the drop down
menus. Is there any way to edit the drop down menus fields in
Contribute?

Create a SSI (with PHP f.i.), best in de root of the site,
considering the way Contribute is handling linking.
Call the file something like menu.inc.php.
Provide your client with the url to menu.inc.php in the
Bookmarks or explain the Choose-button in Contribute to open the
file menu.inc.php.
Keep the file simple (ul/li or p) .

Trying to add drop down menu with specific look

Hi. My home page is http://benefits.mt.gov/hcbdsite/index.html. I'm trying to make the top right five buttons into drop down menus. Some will be just straight down, but at least one will be different, like the one like the one at http://www.optumhealth.com/ when I hover over Solutions and Services (4th button on top bar). Is there a widget that can help me set this up? In the 3 day DW training I took, we talked about widgets, but I've never used one. Thank you!

How to edit drop down menus in Contribute?

When I get to a page on my site with drop down (or jump) menus, there doesn't seem to be any way of editing these in Contribute. Anyone know how to do this?

Hi,
If you have used Spry widgets (like Menu bar widget), then, you can edit the menus within Contribute CS5 itself. But if you are using any other way like a script based or 'form action' then, within Contribute you cannot edit such menus. You can choose to edit such web pages in an external application (like Dreamweaver, Textpad, or Notepad) by clicking Ctrl+Shift+E, and the web page will be opened in that editor. You can make changes there, save it, and publish the web page in Contribute.
Hope this helps.

My form autocomplete shows blank drop down menus with 'Form History' still stated beside the blanks when I type in entries I previously entered.

It is remembering what I entered, but the options are blank. Please help, this is really annoying. I also lose form history (when it was working properly) after I leave Firefox idle for more than 5 minutes. It's been like that for a long time, but my form history (autocomplete) used to stay intact if I left the computer for a bit. I know exactly how to use my privacy options, they are set the way I always had them set when form autocomplete used to work properly for me.

Yep, this is def a problem with the google toolbar. I did find that if you turn off the google autofill, you can keep the toolbar enabled and the problem goes away. The browser then uses Firefox's autofill instead. Thanks for leading me down the right track. I didn't want to lose Google toolbar, but not having form history has been a pain, since i use it for shipping packages and not having it makes it time consuming.

Drop down menus, please help...

Hi all,
I am very new with this.
Is it possible to have drop down menus for navigation?
For example, is it possible to use the tabs and have other links under the tabs? (drop down menus)
What I have been doing is using the HTML Portlet and writing javascript code for the menus. I am assuming that there should be an easier way to do this.
Where can I find more portlets?
I have used other CMS before such as Dot Net Nuke and there are a lot of different modules avaialable for DNN. Is there a place that I can check out for this CMS that has tutorials, or different portlets?
I would really appreciate it if any one can help me with this.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello,
In APEX 2.0 and greater there are built in list templates with built in dropdown navigation.
Just use a list instead of tabs, you can even make a list that perfectly mirror tabs that's how the tabs in the APEX builder itself are built.
Look at the top navigation here http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:5 it is an example of a slightly customized list with dropdown template.

Apex 4.1 : drop-down menus in tabs?

Hi,
Is it possible to create drop-down menus in tabs like the ones in the configuration of Apex 4.1 (Home, Application Builder, SQL Workshop, Team Development...)?
Thanks...

Multiple drop down menus won't work

Hi guys,
Mac newbie here: I decided to give them a shot after a lifetime of PC use due to a friend's recommendations.
I'm trying to apply for jobs, and every single site that has two drop down menus, with one dependent on the other, won't work in Safari. (if I go try it out on a PC with IE, it works without any problems). For example, a menu that reads "country" and the next one reads "state". It will let me choose the country, but then the "state" one won't work at all, with the only option being "choose one".
As these are required fields to send the application along, I'm having to borrow someone else's computer every time I apply for a job, and that's getting old fast. Any ideas on how to get Safari to quit hanging up on the dropdowns?
I have no idea if this matters or not, but I bought my Mac when I lived in Japan. I'm still running the English version of the OS, though.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

I use www.alldatapro.com for auto repair information. It a members only site so it might be a bad example. The problem im having is, i cant select the first option in any dropdown menu. The badpart about that is some of the menus only have one option. In such a case, i have to log in on regular computer, put the info in, then reload the website on the ipad so i can use the "previous vehicles" option. I have a jailbroken ipad running 4.3.1. The dropdown mnus worked perfect until i upraded to 4.2 and i still havent found the source.

Best practice for creating large drop down menus?

I'm attempting to transition from using Photoshop to Fireworks cs4 for design and prototyping of websites.
Right now I'm working on re-creating a nav bar design in FW. The design calls for large drop down menus with lots of non-standard content similar to nymag.com
I've got each button setup as a 2 state button, however when the large drop down spans across to the right, the other buttons next to it appear to be over the first fly out. If I move that layer on top of the others, all the other buttons begin to act strangely. Any ideas?

I have to agree with Pixlor and here's why:

Multiple drop down menus

I have generalised this question to JSP's i'm using the struts framework but it applies to JSP's as well anyway:
I have many part drop down menus. These are mapped to partXX, part XX where XX represents the part number. This is a bad way of doing it because i can't easily add more parts to my form without creating more variables. I've tried storting it in an array but the last selection is stored and then previous one is wiped when the form is submitted. Any ideas?

Given that you use JSP twice in the first sentence,
possibly the JSP forum would be a smarter place to
ask your question?

Can you make drop down menus and can you make hyperlinks to parts of a page

I was just wondering if it is posable to make drop down menus on iweb and if it is possible to make hyperlinks on the same page to another part of the page because the page is very long.

if it is posable to make drop down menus on iweb
No. You have to make them yourself. Search this forum :

Gmail drop-down menus (Move to, Labels) and emails and Facebook chat will not open.

I am unable to open emails in standard Gmail. Emails can be opened after switching to the basic html version. I am also unable to use the drop-down menus, such as "Move to" or "Labels." The button turns gray, but the options do not appear.
Facebook chat is giving me a similar problem. When I click "Chat" in the bottom left, it acts as though it's trying to load but does not open up to reveal friends.
I have tried the following: deleting cookies, reinstalling Java, updating my vid card drivers, and uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox
Scans for viruses and spyware have yielded no results. I use AVG, Spybot, and Malwarebytes. The Gmail emails and menus will open in IE8.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Lost all the text in my drop down menus

All of a sudden I do not see any text in my drop down menus or on pop-ups. I tried to open Safari and got the pop up menu with a yellow triangle with a black exclamation point in it. It also had the three buttons at the bottom - one was blue - but no words.
I can open Firefox but not Safari. I can open the System Preferences widget but all I see are the icons, not the names of the choices. No matter what application is open I do not see any words in the dropdown menu.
First I tried zapping the PRAM. Didn't work. Then I booted from the startup disk and ran the disk repair utility, it repaired several things, but I'm still having the problem.
The font on my menu bar has changed too.
I installed x11 two days ago - not from the startup disk but from a website a friend helped me find when I didn't have my disk with me. I also installed Open Office. Should I uninstall those?
Is it possible I got a virus?? I have no clue how to deal with a virus on a Mac. I haven't had any trouble with my iBook since I got it in November 2005, and I don't know any tricks.

hi Rina!
my apologies, i'm guessing from your name that you might be from a non-english-speaking location ... if so, check to see if this is an issue for you (also see other posts in the thread):

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.

Why are drop down menus on webpages in Safari no longer working? I have iphone4 ios6.0.1. Is there a fix?

Since I updated to 6.0, the drop down menus on the web pages I use in Safari on my iphone 4 are no longer working. The drop down appears and then quickly disappears so that you can't select anything. Is there a fix? One example is http://www.scvavolleyball.org/ I need to select Juniors>Girls>Weekend Sites but I can't on my phone....but I used to be able to....and I still can on my ipod touch. Help.

The current release supports the white-space property for a text area and it is possible that the website uses white-space: pre instead of white-space: pre-wrap.
The former will prevent Firefox from wrapping the text.
You can check that in the Inspector via the right-click context menu.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Page_Inspector
See:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/36#CSS
<blockquote>The white-space property is now working on <textarea> HTML elements (bug 82711).</blockquote>
