Menu item moves in active state

I'm using the "Right Icon" to implement a long vertical seperator between menu items:
laurensilverceramics.businesscatalyst.com
I've deleted the Rollover, Mouse-Down and Active states of the menu items. But when a menu item becomes active - it move put by 20 pixels or so. Any idea on how I can fix this?

Hi Ryan,
From looking at the navigation on the site and the corresponding code, it seems you are using a Composition Widget rather than a Menu Widget. The code generated for the Industries link is different than the others as if in its case, the link was applied to chunks of text/content inside the trigger rather than the trigger itself. Recreating that particular item in the composition and applying link just like others should apparently fix this. I would appreciate if you could send your current .muse file to [email protected] along with a reference to this forum thread and mark it to my attention in the Subject? If the file is larger than 20MB, please use an online file sharing service such as WeTransfer or YouSendIt.
Cheers,

How can I get a menu link to show active state in Spry?

I want to have my Spry menu bar show the page I am on as a highlighted with background-color and text-color being highlighted and different than the rest of the menu bar. It seems that there are two ways that people talk about doing this.
One is to modify the a:hover and a:focus styles in the Spry assets. If this is the answer, I am missing something. After much experimentation, I actually created a style for a:hover (which is rollover only) and a:focus (which is when you click on the bar). It has no bearing on the state of the menu when it is showing the page as the page the user is on. If someone can give me a clue whether the CSS in Spry assets is the way to go, please provide specific code that would go in a specific place. Generalities are not helping me go to a specific solution.
The other way to go seems to give the body an ID on each page. There is a thread here: <http://www.highdots.com/forums/macromedia-dreamweaver/using-css-highlight-current-page-227 823.html>
It says:
"Example:
<body id="home">
This is because the CSS is:
#home #menu .home a
background-color:#ED2424;
color: #E7E63E;
That means color the <a> tag with the class home, inside the #menu container,
inside the #home container which is the body.
Without giving the body an ID, there is no "home" container so the CSS doesn't
apply to anything."
If this is correct, where do each of these snippets of code actually go? Does this apply to Spry? I would assume that the body id is in Source Code, and the others are in CSS. But where?
There is also another solution posted elsewhere: <http://css-tricks.com/id-your-body-for-greater-css-control-and-specificity/>
What specific advice can you provide to get a web site to do something that is pretty basic from the perspective of the user?

</body>
</html>
So that you do not have to repeat the style rules in every document, add the rules to the existing SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css. The class is added to the menu item that has the current document, in our case above it will be index.html or similar. The class will be placed on menu items that correspond to the current page.

How to un-checked the sub-menu items in the active document?

Can anybody let me know, how to make the "checked" sub-menu items in "Window" menu to "un-checked" through scripting. More clearly, i need to open a document alone without showing the tools bars, Document info, etc. Kindly help me the possiblities via scripting(vbscript / javascript). I am using illustrator cs3.
Thanks...

With vb you could call an action that changes the workspace. I do this with AppleScript but its only any use for in-house stuff where I know the actions and workspaces are saved.

Active State not working in Horizontal Menu Bar

I have a Horizontal Menu Bar.
I've set the Top Level Item with Normal, Rollover, Mouse Down and Active States to be different.
All three work on the Top Level Item, EXCEPT for Active State. When the menu is Active, and I move the mouse down the items, the Top Level Item defualts to the Normal State, NOT the Active State.
I've tried trashing the Active State and rebuilding it. That did not work.
I can't figure out how to get the Top Level Item in the Menu Bar to display the Active State.
Hope someone has some suggestions, or knows if this is a bug.
Thanks.
Dave Coop.

Hmmm...I've just been playing around, and I think I got the Active State to work correctly. I think my problem was not understand what Active State means.
To answer your question, I was changing the Font Color and Box Fill Color of the Active State.
I did not understand that Active State means the look of the Menu Item when the PAGE is active. I thought it meant the look of the Menu item when the cursor is scrolling down the Menu (i.e. when the MENU is Active, not the page).
Look at this page for an example of what I'm trying to achieve...
http://www.pgavdestinations.com
When you hover over the "Work" menu item, and move the cursor down the menu, the state of "Work" remains changed until you move the cursor off of that menu column. It does NOT return back to it's Normal state until you are off of that menu column.
Is there a way to achieve this with the menu states in Muse?
Thanks for the replies!
Dave.

Swiss iTunes Store on Apple TV (3) missing menu item

Having Apple TV (3) updated Sotware resetted and rebooted and still cant see the menue item movies. Seeing Potcast and all the usual menue items, exept potcast will not work (without any failure message, the screen remains black), all other working properly. When I change to a differnt store (US as an example) movies is available and working as well as podcasts are available and working.
Does somone has an idea how to overcom this issue?
Thansk and best wishes
Thomas

There are reports of TV Shows and/or Movies missing from users screens, initially it looked like this might be an issue in the UK only, but it may well be more widespread. It appears to be an issue that can't be fixed by the user, you will need to wait until this is resolved by Apple.
If you have other icons missing you may have an entirely different issue.

A top level menu item should display its active state if any of its submenu items are active

Example case: I'm designing a Muse site which is basically a portfolio of our work. We design books, doing page layout and covers. We have numerous book categories and sub categories which I put in a horizontal menu. When a given top level category menu item doesn't have a submenu, it is a hyperlink and it displays active state when the browser displays its linked page. But when a given page is displayed from a submenu link, its top level menu item does NOT display active state. I think it should.
For example, we have a "Nostalgia" category which has "Film" and "TV" subcategories. Because the menu item, "Nostalgia" has a submenu containing "Film" and "TV", the label "Nostalgia" is not a hyperlink. The submenu attached to it has the two hyperlinked items "Film" and "TV". When the browser is displaying either linked page, the submenu is hidden. So it would be nice if the top level item, "Nostalgia" would display in an active state.

How can I change the state of a runtime menu item programatically?

Using LabView 6.1, I would like to change the state of the runtime menu item "Operate/Print at completion".
The goal here is to print the VI front panel according to the operator choice (OK ->print, Cancel ->don't print)
In a first release, I put a Stop function at the dialog output (activated by the cancel button) but this function stop the complete application and my idea where to stop only the VI in which the dialog is running.
In a second release, I've tried to use the "Application
control/Menu" but I receive every time an error:
Error 88 occured at Cannot modify application menu item in the printtest.vi.
Possible reasons: LabView, Runtime menu error...
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Re
gards,
phidu

Instead of using the print at completion option, print the VI programatically if the user selects to print...open a reference to the VI you want to print and use an invoke node to print vi to printer.
Alternatively create another VI with a layout optimized for printout, set it to print at completion and run and load the data into that VI if and only if the user OKs the print...

Manual menu shows two active menu items on one page

Hi--I'm having an issue where a manually-created menu shows two active menu items on the same page (as if two pages were active at the same time).
You can see the issue on my test site here:
http://teknationnewsite.businesscatalyst.com/telecommunications-services.html
On the left hand menu, even though only the Telecommunications Services page is active, the menu shows an active state for the menu item below it also. How can I fix this? The states look like they are created correctly in the states panel.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Okay, never mind. I am an idiot. It was a linking issue. I can't figure out how to delete this thread, however, so just please ignore.

Can Dropdown menu item stay on the "roll over" state while the user's mouse is hoving over the sub

Can Dropdown menu item stay on the "roll over" state while the user's mouse is hoving over the parent's sub-menus?
Thanks

Thanks for the response. My main goal here is to get the drop
down menu word "Overview" to remain red once it reaches the frame
"WhoWeAre" or "OurMission" on the main timeline. If I turn the
button inside the movie clip into an MC to do this, the drop down
menu no longer works. Any thoughts on how to get this drop down
menu to do this?

JavaScript: How do you pass the currently active doc to a dialog in a menu item?

I'm using Adobe Acrobat 11.0 Standard on Windows 7, and I'm having trouble with the menu item that I'm creating. The menu item calls a dialog that prompts the user to select a page in the currently active document. The problem is, I can't figure out how to pass the currently active document to the dialog. I scoured the rest of the documentation, did searches on Google and here in the Adobe forums, but haven't turned anything up. The AcroJS API gives the following solution (found under app/methods/execDialog):
This function attaches the Doc object to the dialog box, then passes the dialog box to the app.execDialog method. The dialog4 object and this function can be at the document level.
   function dotheDialog(dialog,doc)
        dialog.doc = doc;
        var retn = app.execDialog( dialog )
Finally, the following script can be executed from a mouse-up action, for example.
    dotheDialog( dialog4, this );
I did this exact thing, but in the dialog, the value of this.numPages still comes out as undefined, indicating that the current document still hasn't been passed. My own code looks like this:
function dotheDialog(dialog, thisDoc){
    dialog.doc = thisDoc;
    var retn = app.execDialog(dialog);
app.addMenuItem({
    cName: "Test Dialogue Box",
    cParent: "Edit",
    cExec: "dotheDialog(templateDialogue, this);"
where templateDialogue is the name of my own dialog, rather than dialog4. I'm not sure what the retn variable that they declare in the documentation is for, but I've tried it with and without that part, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Does anyone know how to do this?

Sorry, here it is. It's also just a small modification of something directly from the API, which is why it still has the date bit in it.
var templateDialogue = {
initialize: function (dialog) {
    // Create a static text containing the current date.
    var todayDate = dialog.store()["date"];
    todayDate = "Date: " + util.printd("mmmm dd, yyyy", new Date());
    dialog.load({ "date": todayDate });
commit:function (dialog) {    // called when OK pressed
    var results = dialog.store();
    var inBounds = (parseInt(results["tPag"]) < this.numPages);
    if(!inBounds){
      app.alert({
        cMsg: "Please enter a valid number for the page from which to make the template." +
        "\n" + parseInt(results['tPag']) + " = parseInt(results['tPag']) !< this.numPages = " + // I put this in to see the value of this.numPages,
        this.numPages,                                                                           // and it continues to be undefined.
        cTitle: "Page out of Bounds",
        nIcon: 0, nType: 0
    }else{
      var nButton = app.alert({
        cMsg: "Your template is named " + results["tNam"] + " and is made from page " + results["tPag"],

Side Question: Out of curiosity, how would you abort if the user clicks cancel? I get the feeling that they don't cover it because it's something you're supposed to already know how to do, but...I don't. Would you just put whatever action you want to take into an if ( button == "Ok" ) type statement so that cancel does nothing?

Implementing menu items and saving state in my app

Hello
I'm a new user to the forums, but have a little bit of java programming experience.
currently i'm writing some business applications, one of which is a payroll system. The target audience is end-user bookkeepers so i am planning for a GUI front end.
My first question relates to how programs save their state. for example, each month the bookkeeper will launch the program and add the next months payments, or he/she will open the program to fix a mistake. In general how do programs like word, excel (or anything) save and load files to work with? I was thinking about using XML. I thought i would load in an XML file containing all work so far, and then the user could save to it, which would add the new work.
Question the second: A lot of gui java apps i use (like argo, symphony etc) have standard menus at the tops. Items like open, save, close, print etc. How are developers actually doing this? is there some premade classes i can just use in my programs as well that would be me this funtionality? This kindof relates to my first question about saving and opening. Further, it seems there are two GUI libraries to consider - either SWT or Swring. Eclipse plugins are written in SWT (from what i have heard). Can anybody recommend which API i should be using to create a GUI for my program?
I think that's it for now. If anybody can provide me with advice i woudl be most grateful, as i'm at a bit of a standstill with my development.
thanks.

The specifics of what happens when the individual menu items are selected are left up to the programmer.
If you are looking for prebuilt menubars with code attached to perform common functions, then I do not know of any included in Java.

Strange ATV2 behaviour - Movies can't be selected for downloaded & most menu items not selectable??

ATV2 fully online, previews movies, downloads YouTube, Homesharing all good (and a seasoned ATV owner and user)
However download movies is not working, and no error message just a "beep" sound when you select "rent movie".
Also many of the menu items cannot be selected. You cannot down select most of the items under General, so it's impossible to change settings, or to do any troubleshooting. You get the same "beep" sound when you select Name, Network, iTunes Store, Reset, etc.
I have done the usual power down, plus reset using remote, but the system doesn't seem to go back to factory default. I haven't tried the mini-USB connection to MAC as I don't have a cable but hoping someone can help?

Very puzzling that I have only seen the bad behavior on Win8.1, and not when debugging the extension. (Haven't been able to try the extension on Win8, but have tried it on several Win7 computers, and one WinServer 2012 R2 computer.)
Is there someplace to look for runtime exceptions? I haven't seen any in the Output window when the bad behavior occurs....
(If you want to try the extension, you can add a gallery and point it to www.cbates.net/VSIX/atom.xml.)

How to create active state or current state in spry menu ?

i have build a vertical menu with spry menu widget, Just
wondering if any one can guide me how to create an active state or
current state in the menu.
I want the visitor to understand which page they are on, so
just want to change the colour of the active link.

<helpful but self-serving too>
There are several ways to do this, but the easiest way, if I
may say so,
is to use my divaGPS Extension. It works with virtually any
menu type
and is designed to accomplish precisely what you are asking

Power user function: cmd+shift+/ not activating menu items in Photoshop

In Photoshop (Mac OS X), I typically use the pattern type cmd+shift+/ to open the help menu, type the phrase of the menu item I want to use, and then hit enter to activate the selected menu item.
I just checked Photoshop CC and the enter key does not seem to correctly behave as it should. Instead of activating the selected menu item, it just dismisses the help menu.
Is there a way to force the enter key to behave correctly, as it does in other apps?

It seems to do the same running 14.1.2 on mac os x 10 6.8
It seemed to work fine before updating from version 14.0

Why does my Desktop Mouse freeze (moves erratically) when selecting menu items in PSE13 Editor?

It seems that my computer with 8GB of memory may not be enough to use PSE13. The Organizer menu works fine when I select menu items. The problem is when I switch to the Editor. My mouse starts to freeze, move fast, or too slow. It is difficult to select
a menu item in this situation.

Unusual. In theory PSE13 should be better as it's a 64 bit application.
Can you try re-setting the prefs then close and re-launch the Editor. First you need to go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General
Then click the button shown on the image below.
