- Looking for Drop Down menu script w/ semi-transparent backgrounds...

Looking for a dropdown menu script that will allow
semi-transparent
backgrounds (so we can partly see what the list is displaying
over).
I've Googled this to death using all the obvious keywords,
but have yet to
find what I'm looking for.
Thanks.

Yes. I understand and agree. Good point.
Thanks.

Code placement for drop down menu within an animated button

I have a main menu comprised of 7 buttons; 6 of which are all
straight forward with an animation. (The animation is that when the
buttons are rolled over the button extends itself out to the right.
On the rollout the button returns to its original state.) The 6 all
function fine.
The 7th menu button is the same idea but with the edition of
a two button drop down menu that appears when the main button is
rolled over. The roll over part is fine. My problem is moving the
cursor off the main button to get to the sub-menu items without
having them disappear once the cursor if off the main 7th button.
Within the time line of the 7th button (all of the buttons
are movie clip buttons) I put an invisible button, removing the
sections over both the main button and the sub buttons. I have
tried the following:
(I should point out that the labels within the button for the
animation are an _up, _over and _out states...the buttons animate
out in the _over label and animate back to the original position in
the _out label,)
The code and where I have (unsuccessfully) tried placing it
are as follows:
1.) On the invisible button itself (within the main button):
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay("_out");
2.) On the Actions layer (within the main button):
invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
gotoAndPlay("_out");
3.) On the Actions layer (on the main timeline...which is
where the code for the other 6 buttons is and running as should):
btnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
btnMusic_mc.gotoAndPlay("_out");
4.) Just a slight variation of #3 (still on the Actions layer
of the main timeline):
btnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.onRollOver = function () {
brnMusic_mc.invisible_btn.gotoAndPlay("_out");
The result for all four of these options has been the same.
In rolling over the main button (btnMusic_mc) it does animate out
as it should, exposing the two sub buttons. But moving the cursor
off the btnMusic_mc neither allows me to reach the sub buttons nor
does the btnMusic_mc animate back to its first position (as it
should). It just snaps back into that position.
Clearly I am missing something here. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

Here is what it should read, and does on Safari:
Rates and Hours
FAQ - Yoga
FAQ - Reiki
FAQ - Massage
No, it shouldn't and it doesn't. It should look like :
Rates, Hours, Reservations
Rates and Hours
FAQ - Yoga
FAQ - Reiki
FAQ - Massage
FAQ and Reserve - Training
Here's the correct part :
<select>
          <option value="">Rates, Hours, Reservations</option>
          <option value="http://yogareikimassage.com/MG/Rates.html*_top">Rates and Hours</option>

</select>
The <select> item was missing. And if you don't want the first line in the menu (Rates, Hours, Reservations) then don't enter it in the first place.
BTW, it's not a dropdown menu. It's a selection list in a form.

Pass a url variable to javascript for drop down menu

Hello,
I'm in over my head as far as javascript goes. This is what I
am trying to do. I have this URL...
http://www.grasshorse.com/prod2.cfm?SortBy=all&ProdAbbr=shm
I want to take the variable for ProdAbbr which in this case
is "shm" and make that a variable in javascript. So that I can add
the variable to a dynamic link I'm using for a drop down menu.
mm_menu_0520211545_0.addMenuItem("All Departments","location='prod.cfm?SortBy=all&ProdAbb r=eval(ProdAbbr)'");
I really have no clue what to do. I haven't hardly used
javascript at all and I'm looking for some charity. Does anyone
have any ideas on how I can do this?
Thanks
Steve
Any insight is greatly appreciated.

I think the problem may be with the speed that the comparisons are made.
If I type as fast as I can, I can get to the correct Number. If I pause for
very long (1/2 sec ??? ) during the typing it will stall out at the last match.
I am not sure if there are any settings for the keyboard (like typematic rate)
that would help any. Since most part numbers (at least the ones I use) are
in sequence this may be a real problem.
Ex.
323-1234-001
323-1234-002
It would be very difficult for me to get to the -002
I can type 30 wpm but the words are gibberish !!

CS5 drop down menu script errors

Hello,
I'm fairly new to flash and actionscript 3. I've started working on a drop down menu and I keep running into the following errors.
1120: Access of undefined property Moiveclip.
1118: Implicit coercion of a value with static type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display:DisplayObject.
Both compiler errors point to this line of code - navBar_mc.setChildIndex(event.target as Moiveclip, 1);
Actoinscripting:
import flash.filters.GlowFilter;
import flash.events.MouseEvent; var navBtnGlow:GlowFilter = new GlowFilter (0x999999, 0.5, 0, 15, 1, 2, true, false);
navBar_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, navOverF);
navBar_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, navOutF); function navOverF(event:MouseEvent):void{
    event.target.filters = [navBtnGlow];
navBar_mc.setChildIndex(event.target as Moiveclip, 1);
dropMenus_mc.gotoAndStop(navBar_mc.getChildAt(1).name); }
function navOutF(event:MouseEvent):void{
    event.target.filters = [];
any suggestions..?
I've also included a link the fla file.

Jesse,
Thanks for the post and reply.
I changed the line of code you suggested - dropMenus_mc.gotoAndStop(navBar_mc.getChildAt(0).name);
Unfortunaltely I still receive the following report when I rollover the menu button. The menu doesn't drop down either.
RangeError: Error #2006: The supplied index is out of bounds.
    at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/setChildIndex()
    at menu_fla::MainTimeline/navOverF()
Im not quite sure whats going on with it....?
At this point im pretty clueless.
If you have any other suggestions, I'm all ears

Trouble with iWeb code snippet for drop down menu

Hello,
So, I'm having a bit of trouble figuring this out and it goes beyond my knowledge, to be honest. I'm working on a website for someone and when viewed in Safari for Mac or iPad or even iPhone, it all works out great. But, when viewed in any other browser for Mac or Windows, the drop down doesn't display the "menu heading," only what should be the first drop down selection. Not only that, that page now becomes "unselectable" and more or less dead.
Here is what it should read, and does on Safari:
Rates and Hours
FAQ - Yoga
FAQ - Reiki
FAQ - Massage
On all other browsers, it displays the FAQ - Yoga option as the "title" and only displays the other two options. So, is this something that can be fixed in the code snippet or is what I'm seeing a more involved HTML issue that would require actual skills to fix? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated because I'd love to get this knocked out and also pick something up in addition. If I have to edit the actual HTML pages themselves I could do that as well; I've got an editor and have done that for my own site when needed. Anyway, thank you very much in advance!

Spry Tab/Drop Down Menu conflict

When using spry tabs, my drop down menus go behind the tabs
and can't be read. This only happens on pc's. I am creating the
website on a mac running leopard. The template company is not
familiar with spry. It does not occur with spry accordiom.

First thing you should do is to update to the latest version
of Spry which is Spry 1.6.1. Install the updater:
http://www.macromedia.com/go/labs_spry_download
Or grab the files from the Spry download package, I think
that they are in there:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/home.html
Or pull directly from:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBarVertical.css
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBar.js
Also, there's a forum dedicated to Spry, so it would be
better to be asking Spry questions there:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid=72&catid=602
Regardless, you should post a link to your page, as it is
quite common to need to look at code from many of the files that
comprise the final page your visitors receive.

CSS Drop down menu; how to align the right edge of drop down and parent menu?

Hello everyone,
I have a drop-down menu that is currently working well.
The only change I need to make is to have the right edge of the drop-down menu to align with the right edge of the parent menu. When you hover over the menu, it currently "drops" down and to the right, with the left edges aligned.
I want the menu to "drop" down and to the left, so the right edges are aligned.
I have tried fiddling with floats and absolute/relative positioning. I'm not sure what needs to be changed.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated! I'm learning via "cut and paste", so please go easy on any terminology you may use.
Thank you!
Here is my code:
.chromestyle{
     width: 100%;
     font-weight: bold;

Email form script with custom text field and drop-down menu?

Hey, I'm building a website in iWeb - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19707357/Website/craftpackage.html
And I was looking for a script that could possibly send an email to me with the info a user chooses from/puts in 1. dropdown menu 2. text field 3. another text field. I'd be awesome if the fields could have a custom background or a transparent background.The drop-down menu could have any background, but it would be awesome if it could be made with custom images !

Basic question.
What have you yourself done to find out?
Nothing?
Start here :
http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+make+a+mail+form
http://www.google.com/search?q=dropdown+menu+with+transparent+background
Unfortunately, it has no dropdown menu :
http://www.wyodor.net/blog/archives/2010/01/entry_301.html
Btw, dropdown menus in forms at select menus. These are not the same.
http://www.google.com/search?q=select+menu+form
http://http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp
So start practicing and once everything works the way it should, display it in a html snippet.

In the tracing drop down menu, how come the custom is greyed out and can't be selected? It looks like its disabled!!

cc2014,
Have you selected an image?
Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when i select the customer?

I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when I select the customer?
iselect the customer?

Hi bazza,
We won't be able to put the address from a formula into the same cell that you enter the customer's name. We can put the address in the cell under the customers name.
First let's take James advice and concatenate the address in the address table.
Here is the formula in G2
=CONCATENATE(B2&"
",C2&"
",D2&"
",E2)
It shows this way because after I clicked on B2 and typed [&"] (no brackets) I typed option-return
This gives you your new line. Then I typed the closing ". I repeated this for the rest of the address.
Next we want to bring this to your order sheet. I prefer using the two formulas OFFSET and MATCH instead of VLOOKUP.
base tells OFFSETwhere to start counting from. Click A1.
row-offset is for the row. we will use MATCH() -1 to give us the row.
What MATCH does is give you the row number where something is found and you can specify an exact match. I usually construct the MATCH formula first and then cut and paste it into OFFSET. MATCH looks like this: MATCH(A2,Table 1::A,0). A2 is what we are looking for, Table 1A::A is where we are looking (the entire column A), and 0 means we want an exact match. Can you see it inside the OFFSET formula? Notice that we had to subtract 1 from its result.
column-offset tells OFFSET which column A=0 so we want 6.
we ignore "rows", "colomns" we don't need them.
If this seems like too much, just break it down into small pieces.

In view drop down menue I do have fasi languagein encoding for middle east langauges

In view drop down menu for encoding middle east languages I don,t see Farsi language

I have this same problem, which began precisely with the release of 33.0.1. I have been downgrading back to 32.0.3, where this problem does not occur. Each time 33 has had a build update or a release update, I've gone ahead and let the update take place, then tried again, at which this problem came back. This has been the case with 33.0.2 and 33.0.3 as well.
I just went ahead and updated to the latest 33.1 release and found this problem still exists. Before downgrading once more back to 32.0.3, where this problem does not exists, I did a search, found this page, and followed the instructions set forth by ideato.
However, I have concerns. Generally, hardware acceleration is something that gets used for things like--oh I don't know, watching video? Why would hardware acceleration be used to display a drop down menu??? What is wrong with this picture? And why are there no problems whatsoever in 32, but this problem manifests in every build and release of 33?
I think there is a problem here that Firefox developers should look into more carefully. I don't think it's cool to behave dismissively toward users who have stuck with this product through thick and thin since it was still called Netscape.
So now that I've disabled hardware acceleration in Firefox, what other problems can I expect to manifest from having done so?

</body>
</html>thats my code for part of database, in the parts that go "if CID = 0", thats the new record field, in there right now i just have users put in info into blank input fields, however, i would like to know if i can make certain fields, like Mraketer, and Counterparty fields to have drop down menus, Anyone know??

So basically the main focus of what I was askin is in this block of code below:
if (CID == 0) {
          // Do the insert via a PreparedStatement
          java.sql.PreparedStatement ps = null;

          ps.setInt(1, nID);
          ps.setString(2, DE);
          ps.setString(3, SI);
          ps.setString(4, TT);
          ps.setBigDecimal(5, NTL);
          ps.setString(6, ST);
          ps.setString(7, CP);
          ps.setString(8, ED);
          ps.setString(9, SD);
          ps.setString(10, MD);
          ps.setString(11, CT);
          ps.setString(12, MRKTR);
          ps.setBigDecimal(13, SC);
          ps.setBigDecimal(14, MP);
          ps.setString(15, CC);
          ps.executeUpdate();
          out.print("<font color=darkblue>The new record has been inserted into the database successfully</font>");
     } else {
          // Do the update via a PreparedStatement
          // First we insert a row into the archive table
             java.sql.PreparedStatement ps = null;
                ps = db.prepareStatement("update hit_or_miss set date_entered = getdate(), summit_ID = ?, transaction_type = ?, notional = ?, structure = ?, counterparty = ?, expiry_date = ?, start_date = ?, maturity_date = ?, currency_type = ?, marketer = ?, sales_credit = ?, markup = ?, comments_color = ? where hom_ID ="+CID+" ");
          ps.setString(1, DE);
          ps.setString(2, SI);
          ps.setString(3, TT);
          ps.setBigDecimal(4, NTL);

          ps.setString(14, CC);
          ps.executeUpdate();
          out.print("<font color=darkblue>This record has been updated successfully</font>");
     }     when CID = 0, what it does is it pops up a new window called "New Record" and in this new window, there are boxes where inputs can be made, so that when u hit submit, it submits into the database.
What I want to do is, for example, there is a input field called "Marketer" where one can type in his own name as the Marketer, I want make this into a drop down box, where you can pick the marketer, and not have to type it in.
You know how websies have New User, where you create a new user that is added to their database, and usually the COUNTRY field is a drop down menu where you pick the country from. I would like to do that to my database, and this is the area, or the code, that deal w/ new record "IF CID =0" and edit record "ELSE"
Is this possible?
Thanks in Advance
