Must select name from Drop Down menu

I have a form that has two drop down menus. One of the menus
asks the user to "Select A Name" from the lst. What is happening is
that the user simply ignores the list and goes to the next field.
Is there any way to require that the user slect a name, and not
simply have the default title "SELECT A NAME" appear in the
completed form response?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ted -
You didn't state which type of server-side scripting is
available to you in
order to process your forms; however, if your host supports
PHP, have a read
through my article. It explains the validation of what you're
looking for,
and even provides free code at the end:

Populate a table field from selection made from drop down menu

Hello all,
I'm having a bit of head scratching problem that i just can't get my head around. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4
and phpmyadmin for my site.
I have a form that inputs a record into a table in my database.
The form is a user picking a fantasy sports team. A user selects a player from a drop down menu.
The players name is got from a recordset that accesses the player database, with the values coming
from the id field and the values from the name, so a user selects a player by there name and not
there unique id value. The code for this is as follows:
<tr valign="baseline">
<td nowrap="nowrap" align="right">GoalKeeper:</td>
<td><select name="gkid_team">
<?php
do {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_rs_pt_gk['gkid_gk']?>" ><?php echo $row_rs_pt_gk['gkname_gk']?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_rs_pt_gk = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_pt_gk));
?>
</select></td>
What i'm trying to achieve is that when a user selects a player from the drop down menu, their price is displayed in the table cell next to the menu. The value is held in the same table of database as the names and id values. I need to do it so the page doesn't need to be refreshed so i assume i need to use some sort of javascript, php and/or maybe ajax. However with java and ajax i have very little or no experience so i'm not really sure what i'm doing. I've been on numerous forums, looked in text books and have been searching the net for hours but i can't seem to solve this problem.
Any help or advice would really be appreciated as i just can't seem to get my head around it,
Thanks,
pb1uk

can this be done??? thanks in advance annieYes.
One way of doing it is submitting the form on change of the selected value and fetch back the query results. Have a servlet invoke the method and set the results in the request.
Another way (not recommended) is to fetch the results corresponding to all the values in the dropdown and have it in the session. The latter solution would obviously be slow.

Trying to reinstall cs4 on my old G5. doesnt recognize previous version when I select it from drop down menu and put in serial #

I'm trying to reinstall CS4 on my G5, but when I put in the serial number it doesn't recognize it. I installed Creative suite premium without trouble but can't get beyond that. My G5 isn't an Intel processor so cant go out and buy new software. I have discs and sn #'s.

Piper and me it looks like you have a full version of Photoshop CS4 registered under this account. Have you tried downloading a fresh copy of the installation files from Download CS4 products? If so is there any event which occurred on this Mac which is leading you to need to reinstall Photoshop CS4?

How to capture selected value from drop down by index

Dear friends,
i want to capture the value of select value from drop down by index, for eg if select air france, how to capture , could any one please let me know
Thanks
Vijaya

Hi Vijaya,
You can get the value of selected from drop down as below
Check out the event handler method attached to Onselect event of the ui element drop down by index , if no event is associated, then create an event and attach to the drop down list
Now you will be having the CONTEXT_ELEMENT in the WDEVENT parameter
               data lo_element type ref to if_wd_context_element.
               lo_element = wdevent->get_context_element( name = 'CONTEXT_ELEMENT').
Now, you can get the static attribute value of selected drop down value & let us say your drop down list values are populated from context node 'ND_DRP_DOWN'
               data ls_data type wd_this->element_nd_drp_down.
                         lo_element->get_static_attributes(
                                   importing
                                   static_attributes = ls_data ).
Hope this helps you.

Rama

Hide Unsorted Bookmarks from Drop-down Menu

Hello,
Just want to know how to "Hide Unsorted Bookmarks from Drop-down Menu" ...
thank you.

Best would be to move all bookmarks in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder to a folder in the Bookmark Menu folder or the Bookmarks Toolbar.
That would only leave you with the menu entry.
Clicking the star in the location bar will bookmark the page in the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and the star turns yellow (blue on Mac) to show that.<br />
Click the highlighted star a second time to open the "Edit This Bookmark" pop-up and move the bookmark to another folder or edit the name.

I am trying to burn a cd from my playlist but after inserting my disc I do not get (burn playlist to disc) from drop down menu

I am trying to burn a cd from my playlist but after inserting my disc I do not get( burn playlist to disc) from drop down menu?

Hollie,
Do things in the following order:
Make the playlist you are going to burn, and open it.
Have the blank CD-R handy.
Use the command File > Burn Playlist to Disc.
When it asks you to insert a blank disc, do so.

Triggering a database query and region update from drop-down menu selection

I suspect this must be covered somewhere in some how-to or documentation but Google hasn't been of much help here:
A user is filling in a form. The first entry in the form is a drop-down menu. Upon the user selecting a value in the menu I would like to query existing entries in the DB and present results to the user, in a region to the right hand-side of the form, as guidance (i.e.: "here's what we already have for this component").
I am unclear as to whether I should be using computations, javascript or a combination of both here. Pointers welcome. Thanks in advance.

Can't select number and type of tracks from drop down menu!

When I create an empty project you are supposed to be able to select the number and type of tracks you want from a drop down menu. This menu worked when I opened logic for the first time. In subsequent new projects this window does not drop down fully and I'm unable to make any selections!
Can anyone help?

Thanks for your replies.
I tried Eriksimon's solution which worked the first time i re-opened Logic, but reverted back to how it was everytime after that!
As you'll know when you launch Logic you get prompted to choose a template, so i slect empty project, then when the main window opens you're prompted with New Tracks drop down/pop out box. What I should get is a choice of Type - Audio, Software Instrument and External MIDI with another section underneath with Format, Input, Output etc... All i get is Number of tracks to choose and External MIDI as the only option! Even if i create the track any subsequent tracks are all External MIDI, no other options!
When i installed Logic i left off the Jam packs as i'm short on HD space at the minute, i don't think this would be the cause but it's the only thing i've left out of the installation. If i have to re-install i will, but it took nearly 2 hours!

I need to define the acceptable answers in a text field by what is selected in a drop down menu.

Hello please help.
First, I am new to form creation in Acrobat XI Pro so please be patient with me.
I am creating an electronic invoice with the client list in a drop down menu. When the service person selects the client, the pricing fields need to have limitations set on them.
If I can figure out the script to set it for one selection from the drop menu, I can figure out the others.
Example of the three important scripts:
If GCO is selected in the drop menu then 80 and 0 are acceptable in the hook up field.
If GCO is selected in the drop menu then mileage = TM -5. If TM - 5 is < 0 then Mileage only = 0. If TM -5 > 0 then (TM - 5) * 3.5
If GCO is selected in the drop menu then Fuel Charge = 0
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Can you please provide a screenshot showing the issue? I have no idea what's happening to you, what with all the caps and all.

Firefox won't let me select options from drop down menus, on the previous version nor on the current 4.0 version that I just downloaded.

If I am on a site and trying to get information etc, and I have to choose from a drop down menu of any kind, Firefox won't let me choose anything. I can't answer the next question regarding This Happened because I can't select from your drop down.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Delete web sites from drop down menu

There is a drop down menu to the right of 'bookmark star'. How do you delete web sites you no longer want here?

Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.<br />
You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.<br />
This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.<br />

Linking to page in main frame from drop down menu movieclip

I have a drop down menu movie clip on the 3rd frame with links that I want to link to pages on the main frame. I tried linking them the same way as if they were on the same main frame but I'm guessing it's not working because the drop down menu is on a sub frame of the movie clip. Any way around this?

In AS3, _parent and _root are replaced by parent and root. And almost always in implementing them you need to caste them as object types. Try using...
MovieClip(this.root).gotoAndStop("3");
