Missing characters with menu drop down
I have witnessed today a very strange problem. We have 2 new G5's (less than 6 months old)running 10.4.6. On both machines today I saw problems with missing characters. On one machine I was reinstalling Adobe CS2 Premium and the initial installation screen was actually missing characters in the words under the icons. Also, the menu bar drop downs were missing characters as well. I was able to figure out how to do the install and the rest of the install did not have a problem. After restarting the system, everything seemed to be fine.
As I was working on reinstalling Adobe on the first system, the person on the second system asked me to come over and look at a problem he was having. He too was missing characters on the menu dropdown. Example: Shutdow actually was h tdown and most other drop downs were the same way. On this machine, there wasn't any applications running except Finder and Extensis Suitcase. When I restarted the system the problem was gone. Any ideas as to the cause and cure for this problem? Anyone else experienced this?

No, there isn't. No matter which menu model you use, you'll
always have
to update everything on the server manually. You might want
to explore
the subject of server side include commands.

All the menu drop-downs just flicker when I press them.
All the menu drop-downs (File, Edit, View, etc.) don't display and hold when I press any of them. They flicker on but immediately the content disappears and all that's seen is a ghost outline of the drop-down box. This happens with the major menu items as well as all of the sub-menu items.

How to hide menu drop downs layout
Can I hide the menu drop downs on my layout pages? They interfere with laying out text and images.
Hi wayneswhirld,
Click on the small blue icon next to the menu widget and select top pages. That should hide the drop down menu.

I cannot open pages on my MacBookPro. I get a message to update it. In my software update in the apple menu drop down, it shows no updates at this time. I have iWork '09.
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs, including files that refuse rto open:

Help with rollover drop down menus
I created a flash document with rollover drop down menus, but
the menus some times won't go back up unless you rollover their
associated buttons again. Also I created a link inside one of the
buttons on one of the menus, but when you click that button the
menu stays down until you rollover the button again. Some times 2
menus will be down at the same time. Can anyone help me fix these
problems? I'm a beginner and this is the first flash movie I've
ever made.There is a lot of documentation on the web describing techniques to implement "Cascading Dropdown lists in Excel".
A few starting points that may be helpful:

I have an iMAC with the Yellowstone OS installed. This problem existed on the previous OS as well. Whenever I click on my wireless mouse, a menu drops down with several options on it. This menu then blocks my ability to click directly on the desired item. This is very irritating.

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?
I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

My apologies if this is the wrong section. I am working on creating my own website http://www.outlookcounseling.com and was wondering if there are any good examples of standard JS drop-downs. I attempted using a script I found online; however, the menu drop-down was a little too dynamic for my liking and the menus themselves are not user friendly. Unfortunately, my javascript abilities are subpar so I've come online for help.

2. how do I recover to FF3.5.10? - I liked it very much ! - thanks to all at Mozilla :-)Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.

Help needed with CSS drop down menu
Hi guys,
I'm trying to build a drop down menu for my site but, despite seeing a few tutorials and examples, I've had no luck yet!
I'm pretty sure my HTML is correct...
Code:
<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="#">Menu 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Drop Down 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Drop Down 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Drop Down 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Drop Down 4</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 4</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 5</a></li>
</ul>
My CSS looks like this at the moment...
Code:
ul#nav {width:920px; height:35px; list-style:none; padding:0; margin:0; background:url(navBg.jpg) repeat-x; font-family:'OpenSansRegular'; font-size:11px; font-weight:700; text-transform:uppercase; -moz-box-shadow:0px 0px 10px #1c1c1c; -webkit-box-shadow:0px 0px 10px #1c1c1c; box-shadow:0px 0px 10px #1c1c1c; z-index:999;}
ul#nav li a:hover, #nav li a:active {background:url(navOn.jpg) repeat-x; text-decoration:none;}
ul#nav li a {border-right:1px solid #000; color:#E0E2E7; display:inline-block; float:left; margin:0; padding:10px 19px; width:auto; text-decoration:none;}
* html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; } /* for IE 6 */
* + html #nav li {display:inline; float:left; } /* for IE 7 */
ul#nav li ul {left:-9999px; position:absolute; list-style:none;}
ul#nav li:hover ul {left:0; position:absolute;}
ul#nav li ul li {}
ul#nav li ul li a {width:230px; background-color:#efefef; color:#2e2e2e; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:10px; font-weight:normal; border-bottom:solid 1px #FFF; padding:7px; margin:0;}
ul#nav li ul li a:hover {background-color:#028efd; background-image:none; color:#FFF;}
I'm really struggling with this. Does anyone know how I can get Menu 3 to display the four drop down items beneath it - not the same width as the Menu 3 button but just inline with it.
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
SMTry this. It's been adapted from a menu I previously made on another site.

Need help with javascript drop down menu
Hi,
I inherited a website that was already created. I do not know
what version of dreamweaver they created it in but I have
Dreamweaver MX 2004. I am trying to make changes to the drop down
menus. I have figured most everything else out about dreamweaver
but cant figure out how these menu's are made or can be modified. I
have gone into the main template and clicked on the menu section I
want to modify. All it shows it a link to javascript:; I have
searched everywhere for what this means or how to modify it but
can't find anything. Can someone tell me how to get to this info so
I can make changes. Thanks. My website is www.pfcal.org if that
helps.Oh boy. Templates are not for uploading. They have no effect
on the
server. They only change local files which must then be
uploaded to the
server. But - I'm troubled by this comment -
> It didnt give me an option to "save" though
When you made the changes did the template page get marked as
"dirty" (with
an asterisk beside the name)? Which DW are you using?

Need Help with Spry Drop Down Menu
Greetings,
I'm a Dreamweaver beginner, and I'm currently working on a
redesign of our corporate website, and I would really like to
incorporate a drop down navigation system. So far, I've gotten
close to what I would like to have, except there are a few items I
just can't figure out. Here's what I have so far:
Click
Here
As you can see, whenever you hover over one of the links, a
sub menu appears. This is great and everything, except I would
really like to make two minor adjustments:
1) I would like to decrease the line-spacing between the main
menu and the submenus.
2) I would like to change the font color of the sub-menu for
better readability.
I created this menu using Dreamweaver's Spry Menu feature. To
get the desired results so far, I simply played around with the CSS
file. The only two things I can't figure out are the above. I tried
to change the font color of the submenus in the CSS file, but there
is no tag that allows you to do this. I found a "Help" document on
repositioning the location of the submenus but every time I try, I
don't get any noticeable results.
Any ideas on how to pull off what I'm looking to do? Any
replies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Bump
