Keeping Nav Bars highlighted with pop-up menus

How do I get navigation bars to stay highlighted while the
mouse is over the pop-up menu in Dreamweaver 8 and Fireworks 8? I
found directions on the Adobe Website, but it only works for the MX
versions, as the codes are different. Navigation bars and pop-up
menus were created in Fireworks and exported tov Dreamweaver.
Thanks

I am having this problem as well. Does anyone have a
solution?

Working with pop up menus in Dreamweaver CS4

this is my first time working with pop up menus in CS4 (have built many in previous versions), Adobe says you cannot create the pop up menus due to the new Spry feature - but that you can alter existing menus using the Behaviours panel
I have just launched a new website using pop up menus - and there is a glitch when viewing the rollover/pop up menus: I see a question mark to the left of each image in the menu (the images themselves are working beautifully), does anyone know why?
view the website here:
http://www.kiwihouse.org.nz
I want to keep the pop up menu so am looking for a solution to eliminate the floating question mark
does it have anything to do with the multiple javascripts on each page?.. I have one for the menus, and one for the multiple fadeshow
any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
dQ

Not sure if this is the problem, don't have time to go through all your code - but putting the page through the validator bought up a lot of errors...
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kiwihouse.org.nz%2F
Look at the 3rd error message - it's to do with the way the script link has been written.
Lots of other errors that need fixing as well.
On another note, these pop up menus are not the best way to create menus these days, that's why the pop up menu feature was removed from the latest DW version.

Help using countifs with pop-up menus please

made a spreadsheet and am using pop-up menus as the cell format to list several shifts when making a schedule for my job, so far so good.
now i would like to total across the rows for each type of shift in 3 categories so for instance, i would like to create a formula that will tally the number of times i selected either the drop down for 9a-6p or 10a-7pm...i can get it to count one occurance by using =COUNTIF(B5:H5, "=9A-6P")...so i was trying something like =COUNTIFS(B5:H5,"=9A-6P",B5:H5,"=10A-7P") to get it to total the number of times i chose both of those text entires for the drop down, but that seems to be missing something...any help would be appreciated....

Hi Steph,
What you're missing is this (From the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide):
COUNTIFS(test-values, condition, test-values..., condition...)
test-values: A collection containing values to be tested. test-values is a collection containing any type of value.
condition: An expression that results in a logical TRUE or FALSE. condition is an expression that can contain anything as long as the result from comparing condition to a value in test-values can be expressed as a Boolean value of TRUE or FALSE.
test-values...: Optionally include one or more additional collections containing values to be tested. Each test-values collection must be followed immediately with a condition expression. This pattern of test-values, condition can be repeated as many times as needed.
condition...: If an optional collection of test-values is included, an expression that results in a logical TRUE or FALSE. There must be one condition following each test-values collection; therefore, this function will always have an odd number of arguments.
Usage Notes
Each value in test-values is compared to the corresponding condition. If the
corresponding values in each collection meet the corresponding conditional tests,
the count is increased by 1.
The test-values, condition pairs may be thought of as a series of tests connected by AND(s)—the whole set is TRUE only if ALL parts are TRUE.
Your formula should be returning a zero count and you are testing the same set of values for two exclusive conditions—any pop-up set to "9A - 6P" cannot be also set to "10A - 7P"—at least one of the conditions will be false in every case.
For the results you want, you'll need a formula that counts each value/condition set separately, and adds the results:
=COUNTIF(B5:H5,"=9A-6P")+COUNTIF(B5:H5,"=10A-7P")
OR
=SUM(COUNTIF(B5:H5,"=9A-6P"),COUNTIF(B5:H5,"=10A-7P")

Problems with pop up menus

I have a pop up menu that quit working. It's been working
fine, I made some changes and now it won't work. When you scroll
over the button, you see "javascript:;" in the bottom left corner,
but the pop up menu will not appear. It works in both Dreamweaver
& Fireworks when I preview in the browser however. I have tried
exporting the files to their own folder, which is what I normally
do. I have tried exporting them to the main directory where the
pages are. I have tried having the mm_css_menu.js file in the pop
up menu's directory and in the main directory, and in both! Why
will it preview in the browser just fine and not work after I
upload it? Funny thing is, this pop up menu has been working fine
for years. the URL is www.tsheridanenterprises/Lazy S
Morgans/lazy_s_morgans.htm. Thanks.

I'd say the problem relates to the broken links in the code -
<script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript"
src="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Theresa/My
Documents/Dreamweaver8
Webs/LazyS/lsm/image_map/mm_css_menu.js"></script>
<link href="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Theresa/My
Documents/Dreamweaver8 Webs/LazyS/CSS/Level1_Verdana.css"
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
...snip...
<script src="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Theresa/My
Documents/Dreamweaver8
Webs/LazyS/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
Anything that starts with file:/// is broken. Note that there
are 9
consecutive broken links to the same stylesheet in the head
of the page, as
well.
By the way, it's dangerous to leave spaces in your
file/pathnames as you
have here -

Need help with pop up menus...

Hi guys, hope u can help me with this. Im working on a flash
website. I have to include a pop up menu which I have managed to
create no problem. However, when I try to make the buttons inside
the pop up to change to another scene when clicked I cant get them
to work. This is the code I've used:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("Student_area","tests");
I have defined the action to go to the frame labeled "tests"
in the "Student_area" scene as I have been told in a tutorial I
have. However when I test it and click on it nothing happens. I
have tried many variations such as simply telling it to take me to
the students scene like I would do with a normal button but still
nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Hope someone can help me, gotta submit this soon.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone?? Please.

Help with pop-up menus specific to JText Fields

hello,
I am somewhat new to the popup menu aspect of java and so I was wondering how I can implement one popup menu to multiple and specificJTextFields.
What I am looking for is a way that a menu selection can use information specific to the JTextField where the user clicked.
I have tried this already but I have a problem where one selection in a given textfield will spread it to all the textfields with mouselisteners.
Any help would be most appreciated!

I am somewhat new to the popup menu aspect of java...So create a simple program to test how you think it should work. If it doesn't work, then you have some code to post on the forum so we can see exactly what you are doing. Something like:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class PopupTest extends JFrame implements MouseListener
     JPopupMenu popup;
     public PopupTest()
          popup = new JPopupMenu();
          popup.add( new DefaultEditorKit.CutAction() );
          popup.add( new DefaultEditorKit.CopyAction() );
          popup.add( new DefaultEditorKit.PasteAction() );
          JTextField textField = new JTextField("Right Click For Popup");
          textField.addMouseListener( this );
          getContentPane().add(textField);
     private void checkForPopup(MouseEvent e)
          if (e.isPopupTrigger())
               popup.show(e.getComponent(), e.getX(), e.getY());
     public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
          checkForPopup( e );
     public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
          checkForPopup( e );
     public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {}
     public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}
     public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}
     public static void main(String[] args)
          JFrame frame = new PopupTest();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.pack();
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.show();

Multi page pop-up menus?

Is there a possibility to connect several pop up menus?
I saw it on some commercial BDs and I would like to do it on my creation.
I can do it with multi page menus («next» connects to the next page) but not with pop-up menus.
I read somewhere in this forum, that somebody could do it. But HOW?
Eager to hear from you - thanks

Preparing multi-page popups in Photoshop is much easier to understand with some actual examples. Here are two tutorials which include complete Encore projects with all assets, including the Photoshop files, the build folder as created by Encore, and the modified build folder after editing with our Software, BluStreak Tracer 2.

I have created a Fireworks nav bar with drop down menus. Can't get the weblinks to save.

I have been trying to add the web addresses in my Fireworks nav bar drop down menus. I can't get them to "take". I add the address, click done and some of them save and some don't. I am pulling my hair out! HELP!

the easiest way is constructing your menu with frame labels
now i have no way of knowing how you are constructing it ..so
this may not work for you ...i assume that you have created a main
button ...that has been converted into a symbol & then
duplicated to create all other buttons
okay here it goes ..i hope i dont confuse you
i will explain how to create 1 button with 4 submenu items
with the trems that i mentioned above
but iam not going to explain all the details of creating a
whole nav bar
because it just takes too much typing ...i assume you already
know this
sooo ! ...lets say this is the Portfoio button ...inside the
symbol now
create 8 layers ...the order is going from top to bottom
actions
labels
submenu Logos
submenu Illustration
submenu Animation
submenu Coolstuff ."you will name your button items how you
like" ...
main button....lets just say Portfolio !
invisible btn for main button
so now on with the hard stuff
create 20 frames ...stop action on frame 1 ...frame 9
...frame 20
on the labels layer now ....name frame1 "Closed" ...frame 10
"Open"
on the submenu Logos layer ...create a keyframe on frame 10
all frames before the 10th frame will be blank frames
repeat that for the rest of the submenu items
on the main button layer you will just place the main
Portfolio button on frame 1
& on the invisible button layer ..the inv btn is going to
be placed on frame 10
all this is iam hoping your have converted everything into1
symbol
all you need to do know is attach code to the main Portfolio
button & the invisible button
so click on the Portfolio button
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndStop("open");
invisible button
on (rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("closed");
& that should be good ...very simple !
then just repeat this process for every button that makes up
your nav bar ....& it doesn't matter if your inv buttons
overlap each other or your main nav buttons are touching each other
peace John

Smart way to auto update pop-up menu in nav bar?

Smart way to keep updating pop-up menu in Nav bar ?
I created a template in DW 8. It is used to generate many
other pages for the site. only the page content region is editable.
There is a nav bar in the template. Some buttons of the nav bar
display pop-up menu when MouseOver . Those pop-up menu need to be
changed from time to time. What is the best way to automatically
update the pop-up menu in those templated-generated files, using
template (I tried to define the nav bar as editable region,
modified the pop-ups and saved the template. I got a lots of
unexpected problems, DW8 even crashed), using libray items or
something else? I am a relatively new DW developer. Much appreciate
if someone could help.

If the navigation is in a non-editable region of the
template, then changes
to it will propagate automatically to all child pages - are
you not seeing
that happen?
> I tried to define the nav bar as editable region
You wouldn't usually want to do that.
> I got a lots of unexpected problems, DW8 even
> crashed
You must have made other errors. Doing something like this
would surely not
crash DW.
The only problem with having the navigation in the
non-editable region of
the template is that a change to it will touch *every* file
in the site,
each of which must then be uploaded again. To solve this
problem you can
use server-side includes for the navigation. Then you would
make your
change to the include file, upload it, and all pages would
reflect that
change.

Using body id= to highlight current page on nav bar

Hi all, using the method of giving the body tag an id to set
the current page on the nav bar, works all very well. however, this
is no good if you are working from a template as it would mean the
<body> being editable on each page (so most of the content
then)....am I right? or am I missing something blindingly obvious
here which will allow me to change the <body>...
many thanks - didn't really want to use the javascript method
you see!

ideally, you wouldn't actually link the item on the menu of
the page you are
currently on. This is a usability/accessibility thing. If you
do that, then
you can simply style non-linked items on the menu differently
to highlight
that page.
That said, it's often not a practical solution if you are
using SSIs to load
the menu.
In that case, you could just add the Class to a wrapper DIV,
or to the menu
itself:
<div id="myMenu" class="contactPage">
<div id="myMenu" class="aboutPage">
<div id="myMenu" class="productsPage">
etc.
OR, alternatively, give each meny item it's own class and
then over-ride
that one particular class style in the HEAD of each
individual page. That
said, I'm not sure how well the latter would work with DW
templates.

Scroll over highlight function not working on custom nav bar links

Hi - I've created a custom nav bar in iWeb (www.HollywoodRC.com). I have it set up so that the text highlights when scrolled over. This function works in iWeb but does not work on my published site in Safari; however, works in my published site on IE. Any ideas on how to get the scroll over highlight to work on my published safari site? All the links work properly.
Thanks,
Steve

No. Things must have changed. I created a hyperlink with a non web safe font, LedgerD, added a drop shadow and published. I also put the same link in a shape. You can see them in this test page: Page-1 . The two items are image files but they do not contain the link text. Very strange. The hyperlink text can't be selected nor dragged to the desktop like other links, like the Click to Play links on the page, however.
However, I don't know how IE will handle it. According to this IE emulator site, http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/, IE can see the drop shadow. But it doesn't tell us how the links will work.

Creating a hero photo slider using jquery but the nav bar sub menus go behind the hero div tag

Dropbox - Butler Lawyers
Hello Everyone
I m designing a site with a hero photo slider using jquery. My problem is, the nav bar submenus are going behind the photo slider so you can't see the Legal Services tab sub menus. I have provided a dropbox link to the entire project. I m working on the file entitled index.html. Any thoughts on how to fix the problem???
Thank you in advance
Paul

Hi Paul
Sounds like a z-index problem.
We really need to see ALL your files to solve your issue quickly and accurately without a lot of guessing and questions back-and-forth.
Just rename a copy of your problem page (such as "test.html") and upload it to your server (with any associated files) in whatever folder the original page was located, and simply post a link in the Forum and tell us your problem.
This saves you having to cut and paste miles of code into the Forum for the page and all the dependent CSS, JS etc. files.and saves us from having to recreate all your files, find your images and then repair your code and test the solution for you.
I trust this is helpful.

Can You Help with an iWeb Nav Bar Not Displaying Problem?

Hi Everyone,
I have had a website that I created with iWeb and have successfully hosted with me.com (Mobile Me) for the past 8 months. I added a new page yesterday and ever since then, the Nav Bar has stopped appearing on any browser. This happens on every page of my site where there should be a Nav Bar.
I brought up the Safari "Activity" window and when I load one of my pages in, error messages pop up that may hold the clue for someone helping out. (I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the problem.)
All the "http://..." components (not shown) load in okay, but the following "https://..." components below are followed by a "bad server certificate" error message.
https://www.me.com/st/1/sharedassets/2.0.4/Common/Scripts/Site/iWebImage.js

https://www.me.com/st/1/sharedassets/2.0.4/Common/Templates/Layered%20Paper/Laye redPaper_04.jpg
No, I haven't tried deleting the page I created yesterday. I'm quite proud of it and would hate to can it. I will, if I have to, but before then, I was hoping someone else familiar with this problem had a solution they could share.
Thanks.

Hello
I am having the same problem. I have had my website with mobile me for nearly 2 years and have never had a problem.
However my Nav Bar has disappeared on the published website. When I go into iWeb it is there. I have made some changes and republished it - a few times - and when live you can only get to the Home page, there is just a dot where all the other pages used to list.
I brought up the Safari Activity window and it tells me that only 13 of 15 items are there. It doesn't show any other errors.
I would love some help on how to fix it.
Thanks

Is it possible to build pop-up menu on nav bar in a template??

Is it possible to build pop-up menu on nav bar in a
template??
There is anybody who built pop-up menu on nav bar in a
template, made changes to the pop-up menu and successfully updated
the pop-up menu in all files that are generated from the template?
I wanted to do this, but failed. So, I would appreciate your tips
if you have done that successfully.

I have. It's so troublesome, awkward, and arcane, I don't
suggest anyone
use these menus.
