Limit on Pop-Up Menu Items?

I'm using Dreamweaver 8.02 to create a pop-up menu using the
Show Pop-Up Menu behavior. (Vertical menu, sub menus fly out to the
right.). If I add more than 9 items to a submenu, the code for
those items will be created and the script will work, but when I
edit the behavior again, only the first 9 items are accessible in
the Content tab. The script will continue to function until the
behavior is edited, then the code for anything above 9 will be
removed.
Are menu items limited to 9, or does Dreamweaver just not
recognize the code once it goes from mm_menu_1108150729_0_1_9 to
mm_menu_1108150729_0_1_10?
I upgraded to version 8.02, but that had no effect.

Pop-up menu items

Hello, I am new to Spry. I created a navigation bar with
pop-up (or drop-down) menu items going across the top of my web
page. I cannot get the items to drop-down. They are visible without
the mouse hovering and I need them to not be visible until the
mouse hovers over the main menu item. Hope this makes sense and I
am sure a savvy user will be able to help me quickly!!
Thanks,
Jody

Hi, yes I modified the CSS in many ways, I think that's my
problem. I just learned how to do this last night, so it's all new.
Help??!! Thanks.

Pop up menu reference help

I am new to numbers and am trying to develop a logbook to track my flight time. I need to be able to keep running totals of total time and by aircra type. I have a number of questions, but I think this is the one to start with:
i would like to have a pop-up menu (drop down list) to be able to select which aircraft type in a cell. I want the pop-up menu items to be based on what is typed into a different cell (reference cell).
i would like whatever txt is typed in a range of cells to be what is available as a pop up in a different range of cells.
In table 1 if I type C182t in cell b1 thru b10, I want C182t to be available as a pop-up or drop down menu in table2, f2-f200.
i.e.
table 1, b1 I type C182t
table 2 (f2 thru f200) have C182t in pop up/dropdown
Next In table 1, b2 I type PA28R
table2 (F2 thru f200) now have C182t and PA28R as choices
and so on....
thanks in advance nce for the help
anthony

In table 1 if I type C182t in cell b1 thru b10, I want C182t to be available as a pop-up or drop down menu in table2, f2-f200
Inspired by quinn's script, here is a specific AppleScript solution to this problem.
Given a first table named 'Aircraft Types', with C182 in B1 and PA28r in B2:
C182t
PA28r
And a 'Table 2' like this:
A
B
C
D
E
F
PA28r
C182t
PA30
PA28r
PA30
C182t
You can copy-paste this this script into Script Editor and run it to populate column F with Pop-Up Menu containing the choices from 'Table 1'. Whenever you add an item to 'Table 1' just one-click will update the Pop-Ups. (It's not fully automatic the way it can be in Excel, but it's just one click. No need to get involved in the details of the script... unless you want to.).
--change to match where popup values are listed:
property source : {sht:"Sheet 1", tbl:"Aircraft Types", col:"B"}
--change to match range where you want the Popup Menu cells:
property target : {sht:"Sheet 1", tbl:"Table 2", col:"F"}
property guiDelay : 0.15 -- may need to increase on your machine
tell application "Numbers" to tell front document
tell sheet (source's sht) to tell table (source's tbl)
set the selection range to first cell -- put focus on table to sort
sort by column (source's col) direction ascending -- omit if want orginal order
set popSrcRng to my makeBodyRng(source's sht, source's tbl, source's col)
set popSrcRng's format to pop up menu
set selection range to popSrcRng's last cell --put 'first cell' if want default to be first value,etc.
my copyPaste("c")
set column (source's col)'s format to text -- restore format so can add new items as needed
end tell
tell sheet (target's sht) to tell table (target's tbl)
set range (target's col)'s format to text -- clear any existing popups
set selection range to my makeBodyRng(target's sht, target's tbl, target's col)
my copyPaste("v")
end tell
end tell
to makeBodyRng(theSht, theTable, theCol) -- builds the range for just the body cells in a column
tell application "Numbers" to tell front document's sheet theSht's table theTable
set theRange to range ((column theCol's cell (header row count + 1)'s name) & ¬
":" & (column theCol's cell (row count - footer row count)'s name))
end tell
end makeBodyRng
to copyPaste(k)
activate application "Numbers"
delay guiDelay --gives user interface a chance to catch up
tell application "System Events" to keystroke k using command down
end copyPaste
Be sure to change the values in the property statements (within the quotes) if your tables have different names, are on a different sheet, or if you want the Pop-Ups in a different column. And, of course, make sure it runs the way you want on a test document before using it with your real data.

P.S. quinn, note that you can get AppleScript to indent properly on the forum by clicking 'html' and removing the minus sign wherever you see something with this pattern: text-indent: -39.3px. (The number will vary; just delete the - wherever you see it). Then click 'Show Full Editor' upper right to return to the normal view. A little bit of a pain, but it goes quickly, and does the trick until they fix whatever bug is inserting those minus signs.

Pop up menu with rollover images?

I have created a standard pop up menu in behaviors... is it
possible to have images appear as the pointer is rolled over the
individual pop up menu items? or should I be using fireworks to
create an advanced pop up menu?
Many thanks for any help you can give me!
John.

Yes, look in behaviors

NEVER! use fireworks to generate code. You'r just asking for
trouble down
the line.

Pop-up blocker: why is the "show the blocked pop-up" menu missing in the options?

There used to be the "show the blocked pop-up" menu item, whenever a pop-up is blocked by the pop-up blocker, I cannot see that menu these days.
Even in the pop-up blocker help entry, the menu item is in parentheses. Does it mean that sometimes the item would show up and sometimes don't?
What happened to this feature? I really loved this one, and it was one of the main reasons I started to use Firefox instead of IE.
Is there any way to enable this in about:config or something?

Thanks for your reply to this question. I believe that "show the blocked pop-up" ''was'' an option in FireFox's built-in popup blocker. As the OP mentioned, it is listed parenthetically on the [[Pop-Up Blocker Help Page|Pop-Up Blocker Help Page]]. Also, I don't run much in the way of add-ons and extensions, and no extensions were disabled when I updated this morning, but nonetheless the option seems to have disappeared. Since this problem doesn't have many "me toos," maybe it only happens under specific circumstances?

Is there a formula I can use to link a choice from pop-up menu to a $ amount in adjacent cell? i.e. if Item 1 is chosen, adjacent cell populates $125. if Item 2 is chosen, adjacent cell populates $250.

is there a formula I can use to link a choice from pop-up menu to a $ amount in adjacent cell? i.e. if Item 1 is chosen, adjacent cell populates $125. if Item 2 is chosen, adjacent cell populates $250. it seems like this must be possible. Help please!

Hi Gabe,
You could use an IF statement in the second cell.
Popup in column B, two items: "This", That" (without the quotes)
Formula in same row of column C
Format the cell in column C as currency.
If there are more than two items in the popup menu, it's better to use a lookup table containing the same list as the popup in column A, with the corresponding values in column B:
C5: =LOOKUP(B,List :: $A,List :: $B)

Keyboard shortcut to open a cells pop-up menu and select from list of options.

I guessed Option-Return would be the shortcut from this, as it typically lets you edit a cells contents, but no. Read the keyboard Shortcuts list in Numbers>Help but didn't see anything.

Hi ts,
Thanks for drawing my attention to this! Let's add some missing detail…
While "you just press spacebar" to open the pop-up menu, that won't select a menu item.
After you've opened the menu, 'you could press the first letter' of an entry, ( 'like every other pop-up list on Earth,') or you could press the down arrow to step down the list (and the up arrow to step up, if you went beyond the item you wanted to choose).
And you can change your mind; the menu will stay open until you confirm your choice (by pressing the space bar again, OR by pressing return OR by pressing enter).
Note that pressing the first letter will select the 'smallest' item name beginning with that letter. To move to another item name starting with that letter, you'll need to use the up or down arrow key (or the mouse).
Thanks again for posting. With luck, WideEyedPupil will still be monitoring this discussion, and will see these posts.
Regards,
Barry

Strange Problem with 'Show Pop Up Menu"

Hello - I'm hoping someone can help me. I am using a template
to create multiple pages for a video library. The first two
templates worked like a charm. The third and fourth are giving us
trouble.
We essentially create drop down menu navigation for these
pages via the template. There are many menu items in the drop down.
Dreamweaver is now not saving our work as we update the pop
up menus on the templates. Can someone tell me if they've
experienced a similar problem? A major project hinges on this
working properly, and its not at this point.

The DW pop-up menus are incompatible with Templates. I'm
sorry that you
have gotten yourself into this mess. You may also want to

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.

Troubleshooting pop-up menu in Dreamweaver 8

Hello,
I'm using Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.
1. Created a pop-menu woith 6 items all linking to 6 different anchors in a different page.
2. The first 5 items work fine - they link up to the 5 anchors in the destination page.
3. The 6th item when clicked simply closes the pop-menu and does not link to the anchor in the destination page.
    (Completely checked the anchor name and also tested that anchor by linking from a different page).
Please reply asap.Please see HTML Code below:
thanks

Pop-up menu trouble!

I am learning to create a website using dreamweaver, fireworks and photoshop. I created a sample website using these tools. Initially I created a layout in photoshop followed by web slices in fireworks. Later I exported my work in dreamweaver to complete the website. I saved my layout as a template so that any changes get updated automatically in all pages. To add a rollover image menu, pop-up/drop-down menu in template, I switched back to fireworks within dreamweaver. I created rollover image menu successfully and even drop-down too. It worked fine in fireworks preview window. I finished my editing in fireworks and switched back to dreamweaver and updated the changes in template. when I previewed that template, the rollover and pop-up menu worked fine on all menu item(on mouse over). when i clicked a menu item/page /link, it follows to the page correctly and rollover worked still fine and smooth but pop-up menu failed as if i never created one. I tried reloading the page but it failed.
Again I loaded a preview from template and it worked. when I click any menu, it failed. But the rollover works well. I tried to repeat my steps from beginning and the result is the same.
I tried for preview from individual pages, no pop-up emerged. Later I observed that pop-up javascript is located in all pages but never works on execution. It works only in the template from which I created all other pages but it still fails on clicking other links in same template preview. Please help me. This stopped me from moving to next lessons.

Please elaborate

the location of the lessons that you are following
a copy of the code that you have created
This will place us on the same footing and enable us to help you.

Pop-up menu to list multiple time values (8:00 AM etc.) ?

I was looking at the option of using a pop-up menu to select times (8:00 AM etc.) from to keep from having to enter all the times in my spreadsheet manually. Has anyone done this before and is there a download or widget for this? Unfortunately for me, I would need it to be in increments of 5 minutes starting from 7AM to 7PM or so, which would be a tremendous amount of parameters added to a traditional pop-up menu.
Thanks for any input.

Thanks for the insight, it seems to make good sense to me with your process to create multiple pop-ups and/or sliders. Since I'm still new to iWork Numbers though, are the tables you illustrated in your reply saved in a separate spreadsheet to use as a reference for the pop-up in other, separate spreadsheets? Is that what LOOKUP is used for (to reference another sheet)?
My invoice has a single cell for an "IN" time and another for an "OUT" time; all incorporated to a fairly "busy" invoice that can't accommodate any additional cells in those areas.
Both tables are on the same sheet, but I placed them on separate tables on that sheet.
They don't have to be on separate tables, and they don't have to be on the same sheet, but they do have to be in the same document, as Numbers does not provide for linking to separate documents/files.
With the busy invoice in your case, you could place the popup and slider cells (two of each) on a separate table, and only the result cells on the same table as your invoice. The popups and sliders could go on the same table as the lookup array, but that table would then have to be both visible and unlocked.
Placing the Lookup array on a separate table allows you to lock that table to prevent accidental changes to it. You can also easily hide the Lookup table by placing it behind the main table (your invoice), or on a second sheet in your document.
Placed on the same table as the rest of the invoice, you can still hide it simply by hiding the two columns containing the lookup information.
An alternate method, requiring no extra cells or tables would be to Use Insert Date and Time (in the Insert menu, or from the keyboard with shift-option-command-D ) to insert the date and time directly.
There are some complications with this which might make it unusable, depending on how many people need to be trained and how well they take to training. Insert Date and Time starts with the assumption that what you really want to do is insert the date. Changing its mind takes a couple of extra steps that must be done immediately, and each time.
1. Click on the cell to select it.
2. Go Insert > Date and Time (or press shift-option-command-D )
3. Before taking any other action, double click the cell (which will now be displaying the current date) to open a small dialogue.
4. In the dialogue, use the popup menu to choose one of the Time only formats.
5. Click outside the dialogue to dismiss it.
The cell will now contain the current Date and Time value, and will display the current time.
Note that the Time, when inserted this way, will be the time that the insertion was done, and won't be rounded to the nearer five minutes.
You'll find a discussion of LOOKUP (and the two related functions, VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP in the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide, and an excellent overview of Numbers (including explanation of the terms I've used above) in the Numbers '09 User Guide. Both can be downloaded using the menu items in the Help menu in Numbers. Both are recommended reading for new and old users of Numbers alike.

Using COUNTIF formula using controlled data in cell pop-up menu

I'm making a spread sheet that involves adding up the number of times a certain item occurs in a log. A pop-up menu is used in the cell to control the inputs of the log. I'm not sure how to go about using the COUNTIF function to count the number of times each item occurs. The "workout tracker" template in Numbers '09 does what I need to do when counting the "number of days exercised", but I don't understand how it was done. Can anyone explain this to me?
My log table is: (Dashes denote spacing)
Date---------Log Item-----Time
01/03/09---Item 1-------9:00am
02/03/09---Item 2-------12:15pm
03/03/09---Item 3-------9:10am
(you can only chose Item 1, 2 or 3 from a drop down list, you can't manually input anything else)
I want to use a countif command for a table that is:
-----------No. of Occurances
Item 1-------1
Item 2-------1
Item 3-------1

I'm guessing you are curious about the way they did COUNTIF and what "Indicator" is. If you unhide all columns in the Workouts table, you'll see a column D with the header "indicator". The reference to "Indicator" in the COUNTIF functions refers to the entire column. There is a fairly long formula in the cells of that column but, basically, it just populates it with 1-3 depending on what you pick in the Activity popup.

Using a conditional pop-up menu for creating an order form...

I am trying to create an order form on Numbers (version 2.0.1) using my iPad. My idea is to create a pop-up menu that would contain a number of products (about 50 or so). I'd copy this pop-up menu on all the cells in the column under "Description". That part is no problem. BUT ... ideally when a product is selected from the pop-up menu, I would like for its price to automatically populate the corresponding cell under "Unit Price". Obviously the various products will have various prices. For example, I might have three products listed as "Assorted Miniatures" which cost $5 each; "Animal Pot" which costs $10; and "Geometric Pot" which costs $15. Can this be done???
If and when that is accomplished, then I presume I can easily apply the basic formulas to get total amounts. All of this means that once completed the only thing I really need to do is select products and then all the pricing and total amounts are automatically listed and calculated. Can someone assist? I have a show coming up this weekend and I hope to fill out lots of order forms!!! :-) Thank you!!!

MicMac22,
Here is my take. Lookup table as Wayne suggests.
Popup menu is a great idea.
description
quant
unit price
total Amt
Item 2
$2.00
Item 1
$1.00
My entry table would look like yours.
item
price
item 1
$1.00
item 2
$2.00
item 3
$3.00
Table 2 is your lookup table.
The formula in your entry table unit price is pasted into row 2 and copied down.
IFERROR(OFFSET(Table 2::$A$1,MATCH(A2,item,0)−1,1,,),"")
This says find the match of entry in A2 in item column in table 2 return the value in the column 1 over. If error return nothing ("").
Will this work for you?
Q

Limit on Pop-Up Menu Items?
