Multiple Pop Up Menus on 1 Page

When I create 2 popup menus in Fireworks and move the .html
to dreamweaver, either one of the menus will work, but as soon as
they're both present on the same page, one won't work. I get .js
errors in mm_menu.js
Any ideas?

FW8's menus were very much better than earlier models, but
they still stink
on quite a long stick.

How to edit DW 8 pop-up menus in DW CS5?

Hello,
Yes, I understand about Spry menu bar in CS5 and will use it in the future for creating new pop-up menus.
However, I have already created many pop-up menus using DW 8 for multiple web sites and standalone web pages - about 100 web pages total - for my employer.
Is it possible to edit these DW 8 pop-up menus from within DW CS5?
I did try the only instructions I found, which I thought were to choose ~ Deprecated from the Behaviors menu, and then choose the Pop-up menu. However, even when I have open a web page in CS5 containing an existing pop-up menu I created in DW 8, I do not see anything about Deprecated on the Behaviors menu.
I tried positioning my cursor on the URL and then also on a graphic item associated with the pop-up menu behavior I applied in DW 8 - still did not see "Deprecated" in the Behaviors menu or how to select it. (Please note that my pop-up menus do not involve Fireworks MX in any way; they were created directly in DW 8 by applying the pop-up menu JavaScript behavior.)
What am I missing? How do I select "Deprecated" in the Behaviors menu?
Is there some other way - or any way at all - I can edit my pop-up menus previously created in 100+ web pages ? I really do not have time to re-do all of these web pages using Spry.
Please advise. Thanks!

Hello, Thanks for the response. All of my web sites and standalone web pages are internal, behind the corporate firewall so I cannot provide you with links.
Recap: The pop-up menus I created in DW 8 work beautifully, seamlessly and were very easy to maintain in the earlier version of Dreamweaver. I have been using DW pop-up menus since 2004.
Goal: To update and edit these pop-up menus created in DW 8 - in DW CS5. Why? Because we have multiple websites and standalone web pages, 100+ web pages total, some with multiple pop-up menus on each page and it is not possible due to time limitations to re-code and re-develop all of these existing pages using the new Spry menu. We will use the Spry menu when we create new menus for new web pages in the future.
I have previously read here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7ae 9a.html that you choose ~ Deprecate from the Behaviors menu to update existing DW 8 pop-up menus in DW CS 5, but I do not have this option available to me - I do not see a "Deprecate" selection available when I select an existing DW 8 pop-up menu to edit in CS5. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? When I place my cursor on the pop-up menu items, and go to the Behaviors panel, I do not have a Deprecate option, and the pop-up menu actions are not available to select.
I am concerned that the only way it appears that I can edit the pop-up menus is to edit the HTML which is possible but messy, and defeats the reason for having DW in the first place. Otherwise, I guess we go back to using DW8 and don't use DW CS5 at all for our existing web pages. If that happens, management will certainly question "why did we pay $400 for a commercial license for a software product which does not allow us to edit our existing web pages?".
Here are two coding samples from my web pages with the links changed so that confidential information is non-identifiable:
Example 1
1. Link coding associated with the pop-up menu behavior (identifiable link information changed for this example):
<a href="examples1/index.html" name="link1" id="site-home" style="text-decoration:none" onmouseover="MM_showMenu(window.mm_menu_0112173011_0,152,-1,null,'link1')" onmouseout="MM_startTimeout();">Example link 1<img src="images/triangle-sm.gif" alt="pointer" width="5" height="6" style="margin-left:6px"/></a>
2. Associated coding in the <head> tag for this particular example:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="mm_menu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
3. Of course, we load the menus in the first line after the open <body> tag:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">mmLoadMenus();</script>
The "mm_menu.js" file itself is located in the self-same directory/folder as the web page, so it loads properly and the pop-up menus function as expected.
Example 2
1. Link coding associated with the pop-up menu behavior (identifiable link information changed for this example):
<a href="javascript:void(0)" name="link5" id="link1" onclick="MM_showMenu(window.mm_menu_0203084229_0,-115,-40,null,'link5')" onmouseout="MM_startTimeout();">Reports</a>
2. Associated coding in the <head> tag for this particular example:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javaScript">

</script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="mm_menu.js"></script>
3. Of course, we load the menus in the first line after the open <body> tag:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">mmLoadMenus();</script>
The "mm_menu.js" file itself is located in the self-same directory/folder as the web page, so it loads properly and the pop-up menus function as expected.
-------End Code and examples-------
Please advise. Thanks.

How do I have Blu-Ray pop up menus linked together if I'm using multiple timelines?

I have a 6 timeline project that I put in pop up menus for. Each timeline asks for it's own pop up menu to use. The pop up menus seemed to need to be created with the multiple chapter option to work for me, I couldn't create stand alones and link them together because the timeline asks for ONE pop up menu associated with it. I then created 6 separate pop up menus (each one ended up with about 3 pages) one for each timeline. I tried to link POP UP MENU1 to POP UP MENU2 with a NEXT button at the end of the last page of POP UP MENU1. When I drag the whip to link it to the proper pop up menu when I actually look at the button the link is the current pop up menu not the one I want it linked to, so I am unable to do this. The pop up menus function properly on my Blu-Ray player- If I am viewing material from timeline 1, I can pull up POP UP MENU1 and arrow back and forth to the three pages on this, POP UP MENU2 functions the same way for timeline 2. etc.
Project Settings:
Blue Ray
720 X 480
EncoreCS5
Quad 4
2.4 GHZ speed
150 GB free space on drive
NVIDIA GEFORCE 8500 card
6 GB Ram

First of all, the pop up menus can not be linked to each other.
If you want, you can have more pages on a single pop up menu and link all your timelines or chapters to the buttons of the pages and then link that pop up menu with more number of pages to all of the timelines. In this way, you can have the option to navigate to any chapter of any timeline while any timeline is playling.
Thanks,
Ramesh.

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.

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.

Pop-Up Menus and active content errors - Help!

I'm attempting to add pop-up menus to my navigation bar, to
make my site more user-friendly, but to no avail:
I've tried designing pop-up menus in Fireworks, then
importing the html code in, but that gives me errors when I try to
insert the bar. Then, I tried putting my menus in different layers,
with a "show layer" behavior on the button, and a "hide layer"
behavior attached to the roll-off of the layer, but my version of
Dreamweaver won't attach a behavior to a layer.
Then, I noticed the tech-note on this site for the fix to use
pop-ups in a template, so I added pop-up menus directly to my
navigational buttons using the wizard. So here's where my problem
comes in. . .
When I preview my page, it throws up an active content error,
but will still run. I uploaded it to my remote server, but when I
went to the url, no action takes place when I put my cursor over
it. Anybody have any ideas on how to create a pop-up menu that
won't throw up an active content error? I've seen them on plenty of
websites before, but can't figure how to do them.
Any light you could shed would be greatly appreciated!

Sometimes, they make your site less user-friendly. So be
careful.
The DW/FW pop-up menus are usually something that should be
avoided. They
are very poorly thought out and implemented, and will likely
cause you
continuing problems. It's foolish to devote the time to them
that could be
more effectively be placed elsewhere, especially since there
are better
options that work right out of the box, so to speak. Please
check the free
and commercial options here -
http://www.projectseven.com/.
> Any light you could shed would be greatly appreciated!
Don't use DW/FW pop-up menus.

I am receiving a lot of pop-up ads on website pages. It has only recently started happening. They open new windows with ads for online gambling, online dating and other things. They are annoying and I want them shut off. Please help me

I have recently started seeing millions of pop-up ads on website pages. It is not something that normally happens. They open new windows with ads for online gambling, online dating among other things. I am growing sick and tired of these ads, and have tried multiple things. I have uninstalled and reinstalled software, I have blocked pop-up ads and unenabled Java script. I have tried everything I could find, but nothing has worked. I have even downloaded AdBlock and Clean Genius. Nothing has even remotely changed this annoying trait. I hope this can be a quick fix I can perform and not something that will have to be done by a tech-hand. Please, if you know anything about this issue, let me know how to fix it.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, you have installed malware by clicking on a pop up ad.

Templates + Pop Up Menus

I know, I know Murray, you said these don't work in the past,
however, I made a template with a pop up / drop down (however you
like to call it) menu and so far it seems to work just fine. Am I
delusional ? Headed for a huge fall later on when I discover X
dosn't work with this feature ? Or does it really work now ?
I do know that pop up menus don't work with library items
still but the templates seem to be ok. Any experience for this
anyone ?
Cheers
Simon

> Am I delusional ?
Yes.

Yes. Rename or move a linked page. Add a new menu button to
the page.

items
Actually, that's wrong too. They work just fine with Library
items -

Multiple data merge results on one page

Good morning everyone,
I am trying to set-up the menus for my upcoming wedding, where everyone has already chosen what they are having. I have created a .csv file with four columns - Name, Starter, Main, Dessert.
As I am printing these off at home, I want them to be half A4 size (105mm x 297mm), with two menus per page.
However, by doing the normal Data Merge, I end up with having the same menu twice on each page. So both menus on the page are for the same person.
How do I set it up so that I can have two different menus, the next entries in the .csv file, on the same page?
Thanks in advance.
Simon

Sounds like you tried to put two menus onthe page and run a multi-record merge.
To merge multiple records you use only one set of placeholders on your page. Put it in the upper left position. ID will duplicate it as many timeas as will fit using the spacing parameters you specify. It's often helpful to use an empty frame with no stroke to define the area to make setting the sapcing easier. Group it with your text frame(s).

Beyond Pop-Up Menus

I recently generated a set of pulldown menus using
dreamweaver 8 behaviors. I am currently trying to modify them.
First I moved the onmouseover from the link to the table cell.
During onmousover I want the table cell to turn the same color as
the pulldown menu (similar to the pulldown menus on the adobe site
above).
Test Page
http://www.triodisplay.com/company/about2.php
I gave the cells ids and added some javascript. The first
link (catalog) works correctly while the others don't during
onMouseout.
Here is the javascript I created to change the color of the
cell.
quote:
function changeStyleById(id){
if (document.getElementById)
var nodeObj = document.getElementById(id)
nodeObj.style.background = '#333333';
function changeStyleBackById(id){
if (menuid != 0) {
var nodeObj = document.getElementById(id)
nodeObj.style.background = '#B2B2B2';
Here is the cell that calls the code.
quote:
<td align="left" id="1"
onMouseOver="MM_showMenu(window.mm_menu_0425152551_0,-2,9,null,'image1',
'2')" onMouseOut="MM_startTimeout('1');"> <a href="
http://www.triodisplay.com/ps/ps.php"
class="topnav"> <img src="testbutton/blank.gif" alt="design"
name="image1" width="1" height="1" border="0" id="image1">Retail
Design</a></td>
Here is a link to the javascript
http://www.triodisplay.com/company/mm_menu.js
The problem I am having is onMouseOut="MM_startTimeout('1') .
MM_startTimeout calls a function and I've inserted a variable for
it to pass which is equal to the id. The problem is the mm_menu.js
is a list of functions and I can't figure out how to get my
variable to my new function.
I am looking for either an easy way to pass the variable or
if someone has a suggestions to change the color of the cell with
the pulldown menus I'd appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

> First I moved the onmouseover from the link to the table
cell
Bad choice. So was your selection of the DW pop-up menus.
Here's what the
person who adapted that code for Macromedia has to say about
the method you
are using -
http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
Could you possibly consider one of the several other REALLY
GOOD ways to do
this? By the way, these good ways would allow you to do what
you want
easily....

Strange problem with Dreamweaver Pop-Up menus

Hello:
I have encountered a very strange problem with DreamWeaver
pop-up menus, and I was wondering if I could get some help from
this forum, as I can't seem to find an answer anywhere else.
The problem involves use of DreamWeaver's pop-up menu
behavior — all works as expected, and my local preview of the
Web page/site works fine, but when I upload the site to a server, I
see extra question mark and "box" characters added to my drop-down
menus. This problem is inconsistent between browsers: Sometimes I
see it only on IE, sometimes I also see it on Firefox.
For example, check out the following URLs:
http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/cci/
... this implementation of drop-down menus ("Services"
button, etc.) displays an extra "box" character for each of the
drop-down menu items, but this only occurs in IE -- Firefox is
fine.
http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/microtek/HTML/MicroTek_home.html
... this implementation of drop-down menus shows an extra
question mark above the triggering link onMouseOver for Firefox,
and in IE, it shows this "box" character for both the triggering
buttons and for each menu item.
For both of these sites, the pop-up menus work without a
problem *when I'm looking at a local version on my workstation*.
What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on here????
Any help for this problem is appreciated.
Note that I stripped out the JavaScript code for menu
information from the <head></head> area of each of
these pages and placed it in a linked JavaScript document.
HELP!

First, you need to read this, written by the person who
adapted that menu
code for Macromedia -
http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
Then you need to know that there are MUCH better ways to do
such things -

Problems with blu-ray pop-up menus

I made the mistake of tacking this question/problem onto another similar post, so here it is again for some:
I got this error message near the end of the disc build:
Blu-ray Error: "fatal error". Code: "6", Note: "Graphics buffer underflows. - Failed to multiplex with maximum IG PTS: 54900000 (in 90kHz).
The blu-ray project I am working on is an 87 min live concert with about 8 other much shorter timelines. The main menu has 6 buttons with a motion background. There are few submenus as well, but the problem came when I started making pop-up menus for the various timelines.
This is the first project where I really had to explore the possibliltes and limitations of Encore's pop-up menus. I burned a test disc with just a basic pop-up menu to see how the menu's opacity would look over the final video. All the video assets were set to to transcode "Automatically". All audio assets are blu-ray compliant Surround ac3's or 16-bit stereo WAV's so could be left as "Don't Transcode". This disc burned perfectly.
I then went through the pretty involved process of making a final version of the main pop-up menus. The main concert's pop-up menu has 5 pages (including page 0). There are specific pop-up menus for other timelines, but those have no more than 2 pages. None of the menus have more than 10 buttons.
I tried to burn the disc, and it came back with the error above. After reading some other posts, I thought it was worth a try to delete the AuthorScriptHDMVSessions folder before starting a new burn since it was already filled with files from my test burn. That didn't help.
Any insight or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

After countless tests and research, I finally have a successfully burned blu-ray with WORKING multi-page pop-up menus (that I am happy with). Thank you to all the people who gave theoretical guidance and suggestions in emails and other posts. There has been no shortage of oddities and obstacles to overcome when just trying to make a simple blu-ray. Unfortunately, I did not have the time to accurately pinpoint what was causing the original error message. The project just needed to get done.
The main pop-up menu has 4 pages, with 13 buttons on each page. Only about 5 - 9 of the "buttons" on each page are actual buttons that link anywhere. The other buttons on each page only serve as the remaining pieces of the menu's background and cannot be accessed on the final disc. Totally ridiculous way to make the backgrounds for pop-up menus, but it works.
Some of the other things I learned regarding pop-up menus + Encore misc:
1. If at all possible, totally create a menu .psd BEFORE bringing it into an Encore project. Make the button order in the .psd what you want it to end up being in the end (bottom layer is button 1). If you start editing and saving order after it has been brought in, Encore will almost always revert it back to some strange (possibly original) button order. You will spend all your time re-routing button navigation and changing their numbers, only to find out later that Encore has changed it all back without notice.
2. As many people state, it is best to have Encore do as little thinking as possible. All of my button groups originally had Text Layers within them with some fx applied. I merged each text layer down into that button's background layer to essentially rasterize the text with the fx applied. Each (+) button group therefore only had a higlight layer and a background layer. After doing this for all the buttons, the .psd file size was greatly reduced. Naturally I saved a copy before going through the merging process in case I ever had to go back and edit the text.
3. Originally the background for the pop-up menus were made from a rectangle cut-out of the background of the main menu. This was the width of the frame and around 1/5 of the height. I had changed the opacity to around 60%, and cut up the pieces to go with their respective buttons. For the final disc, I just made a shape with the Rounded Rectangle Tool, and filled it with a solid colour. It is probably only about half the size of the original pop-up menu's background. I changed its opacity as well, but then merged it with a blank layer so Encore didn't have to think about the opacity setting.
4. I encoded all the video elements BEFORE they were brought into the project. There are some issues with the way the file sizes are interpretted by Encore, but I won't trust it to encode anything again.
5. For some reason Encore wants to transcode 16-bit, 48.0 kHz .aiff files when making a blu-ray, but 16-bit, 48.0 kHz .wav files do NOT need trancoding (for both dvds and blu-rays).

Maintaining over state on pop-up menus

I've just recently switched from MX to 8. My pop-up menus are
all done using the new CSS function and I can't figure out how to
keep the over state when viewing sub menus (I have two levels of
sub-menus, if there's a way to keep the over state for both that
would be awesome!!).
I had done it previously in MX using the instructions
available on the web, but they're no longer applicable.
Please help

Using 2 pop up menus together

Hi,
Is there a way to create 2 pop up menus to work together?
For instance I want the first one to pick a category, for
example: autos and then the second menu to specify a location from
a list, for example : Cincinnati. Then it would go to a page set
for Cincinnati Autos.

Nope. And as far as popup menus go, you are much better off
giving the
Fireworks ones a pass. There are much better ways to do
them....

Pop-up menus and frames

A web page with Fireworks 8 Javascript (not CSS) pop-up menus
imported into Dreamweaver 8 works fine on its own. However, if I
include the page in a frameset, the menus
appear to work OK (e.g. everything pops up and down when
expected, all the rollover transitions appear flawless, and the
pop-ups are well clear of the frame boundary), but when a popped up
menu item is selected,
nothing happens - the top-level menu items are the only ones
which still navigate to their links.
(I normally avoid using framesets, but the frameset in this
instance has a useful applications function and I would be loth to
remove it)

Hi Max:
Did you define a target for your pop-up menu links? See:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/studio/articles/fwmx_popup03.html
Also make sure that the paths in the links are valid URLs.
It would seem strange that nothing is happening. How do the
menus work
when you browse the Fireworks HTML directly outside the
frameset? This
might give us a clue as to what's happening.
enthusiastically,
