Need help with a navigation bar

I am new to Dreamweaver,working on my first page. This is my first post too, so I hope that I am doing this correctly.  I created a set of navigation bars last night. It is a vertical bar with 9 items.  It looked great except the items were not centered in the sidebar.  I was experimenting tonight and now 8 of the "items"/titles have disappeared.  The list is basically gone except for the one title.  When I look in the code view all the items are listed. I hate to delete the page and start over.  Does anyone have any ideas?

It sounds like you're using CSS to make a list of links turn into a navigation bar. If so, is there a problem with you're CSS?
It would help if you could either attach the files or give us a link to the site.

  • I need help with the navigation menu please?

    I have been working my way through your six part printed instructions and I am styling the header and navigation menu.  The bullet points disappeared which was correct and the tabs moved to the right, as they should, but one tab sits underneath another tab and all tabs are covered up by my main heading.  This is dreamweaver CS6.
    It looks a bit of a mess!

    I have moved this to the main Dreamweaver forum, as the other forum is intended to deal with the Getting Started video tutorial.
    The best way to get help with layout problems is to upload the files to a website and post the URL in the forum. Someone can then look at the code, and identify the problem. Judging from your description, it sounds as though the Document window is narrow, which would result in the final menu tab dropping down to the next row. Try turning on Live view or previewing the page in a browser. Design view gives only an approximate idea of the final layout. Live view renders the page as it should look in a browser.

  • Need help with Spry Menu Bar

    Hello,  I have two templates that I am using.  Both have a horizontal menu bar across the top of the page and then two Vertical Spry Menu Bars down the left hand side of the page - one above the other.  On one template, all menu bars are working correctly.  On the other template, 2 out of three are working correctly.  Not sure what's happening here.  The spry menu bar that is not working correctly is under "Books & Materials" heading.  The menu bar is supposed to turn green when you mouse over it, but instead everything turns white and looks like it "disappears".  I have no idea why it would work on one template and not the other.  Or for that matter, why it is working on one vertical spry menu bar, but not the other on the same page.  Can anyone help me?   www.springerlejoy.com/proanimals4.html  This is a page that shows where it is not working.  Basically, all of the products pages are having this problem.  If you go to the home page:  www.springerlejoy.com you will see that this page is working - using a different template.  Can anyone help me?  I'm at a loss!  Thanks!
    Debbie

  • Need help with page navigation

    I've got a database where records are retrieved and displayed in a repeating region.  I've added page navigation to it because I'm getting enough records in the database that scrolling through them all on a single page is getting to be a very big page.  The page navigation works as far as the first page goes.  I get the correct records on the first page based on my selection critiera.  However, when a result set spans multiple pages, when I hit 'next page', instead of going to the second page based on the search critiera, the records displaying on the second page are the records that would be on the section page if I selected every record in the database.
    My search critiera is pretty complex, so I have not found a way to develop it inside of the recordset definition panel in DW, but I have attempted to recreate the page from scratch and I'm getting the same result each time.
    Does anyone have a snippet of code to make the pagination work correctly?
    This is the code that DW put in there:
    maxRows_rs_results = 10;
    $pageNum_rs_results = 0;
    if (isset($_GET['pageNum_rs_results'])) {
      $pageNum_rs_results = $_GET['pageNum_rs_results'];
    $startRow_rs_results = $pageNum_rs_results * $maxRows_rs_results;
    $queryString_rs_results = "";
    if (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
      $params = explode("&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
      $newParams = array();
      foreach ($params as $param) {
        if (stristr($param, "pageNum_rs_results") == false &&
            stristr($param, "totalRows_rs_results") == false) {
          array_push($newParams, $param);
      if (count($newParams) != 0) {
        $queryString_rs_results = "&" . htmlentities(implode("&", $newParams));
    $query_limit_rs_results = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_rs_results, $startRow_rs_results, $maxRows_rs_results);
    $rs_results = mysql_query($query_limit_rs_results, $dqdb) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_rs_results = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_results);
    if (isset($_GET['totalRows_rs_results'])) {
      $totalRows_rs_results = $_GET['totalRows_rs_results'];
    } else {
      $all_rs_results = mysql_query($query_rs_results);
      $totalRows_rs_results = mysql_num_rows($all_rs_results);
    $totalPages_rs_results = ceil($totalRows_rs_results/$maxRows_rs_results)-1;
    TIA!

    I've put some echo statements into my code to figure out what it is doing and I can see why I'm getting the results I'm getting, but I don't know how to fix it.
    Here's a description of my site.  A user has a select form where they can select records matching their critiera.  There are over 30 attributes that can be selected.  None of them can be selected and that results in every record in the database being displayed.  Any combination of the attributes can be selected and that results in the set of records that match that criteria.
    There is one caveat.  One of the attributes has multiple possible values.  Any given record will only have one value for that attribute, but the selection critiera may include multiple values of that attribute.  So in the middle of the string of "<value = > and <value = >",  I have  "and (<value = > OR <value = > OR....) and <value=>". You can see the actual select statement I have built in a previous discussion I started.
    I'm not a sophisticated php programmer or DW user for that matter, so I don't know how to build an array to capture my record data and then read the array to display the page.  It would be simpler if the selection critiera wasn't so complex - I have found several snippets of code that work well with simple select statements, but I have not been able to adjust them to work with this kind of selection possibility.
    So what I see happening is that after the first mysql statement correctly retrieves the results set, the code to set the select statement is executed again.  But at this second time through, the $_POST values from my form are no longer set to correctly build the select statement.  I thought I might save the select statement and use some if/else logic to circumvent this, but all variables seem to be getting reset when the logic goes back up to the top of the code.
    I hope I'm describing this clearly enough to generate some helpful responses.
    TIA!

  • Need help with BARS 4.0.12 - 4.0.13 upgrade

    Hello,
    I'm a VoIP noob and need help with a BARS upgrade. To resolve a known problem (Bug #CSCsi32637) we need to upgrade BARS from 4.0.12 to 4.0.13. This is per TAC. However, no one in our company has done this before. I've reviewed the 4.0.12 Admin Guide since I was unable to find any admin docs for 4.0.13. However, I have several questions about this upgrade that hopefully someone here can help with:
    1) The install for 4.0.12 requires a reboot of the server. Is this the same for 4.0.13?
    2) CCM version is 4.1(3)sr6; any problems known with BARS 4.0.13 and this version of CCM? I didn't see
    anything in the Rel Notes or via the Bug Toolkit (figure it never hurts to ask).
    3) Will the previously input configuration settings (i.e., Data Source Servers, Storage Location, Schedule) be preserved or will I have to reinput these settings?
    4) Any known issues with performing this upgrade while controlling the server via VNC?
    5) The 4.0.12 docs state that "To successfully back up the Cisco Unified CallManager database, the backup server and backup targets must exist in the same cluster and have the same version of BARS installed". So BARS must be installed on my publisher (the Backup Server) AND my three subscribers? I'm not finding BARS on these subscribers now.
    Many Thanks for any input,
    Brian Read

    1) Yes, any version requires reboot after install
    2) not that i'm aware of
    4) you'll need to reconfigure it
    5) no
    6) although it's recommended there is no real need to backup any other server than the PUB which contains the master DB, any SUB only needs to pull the info from PUB in case of crash and reinstall

  • Need help with navigation within a spark list...

    hey guys, so in my application when you click on a list item, it opens up an image, and along with the image a few buttons are created dynamically...
    the image and the url/labels for the dynamic buttons is provided through an xml/xmlListCollection.
    what i need help with is the url or more specifically when you click on one of these dynamic buttons it needs to navigate me to another part of an list or display a certain set of images that is not in my spark list...

    i have attached a copy of the xml that i have right now to this post for reference...
    any help will be greatly appretiated!!! i've been stuck on this problem for the last week and my project is due soon
    again thank you in advance...

    hey david... just nevermind my previous post... I was able to subclass a link button, so i now have two variables that get assigned to a link button,
    one is "tabId" <-- contains the information on which tab to swtich to, and the second is, "changeTo"... this contans the label name which it needs to switch to
    I'm just stuck on how to change my selected item in my tabNavigator/list
    the code i have right now is
        private function customButtonPressed(event:Event):void{
            if(event.currentTarget.tabId == "troubleShooting"){
                for each(var item:Object in troubleShootProvider){
                    if(item.@label == event.currentTarget.changeTo){
        private function userOptionsChange(event:IndexChangeEvent):void{
            dynamicButtons.removeAllElements();
            navControl.source = userOptionProvider[event.newIndex].children();
            currImage = 0;
            imgList.source = userOptionProvider[event.newIndex].images.children();
            definition.source = imgList[currImage].@url;
            if(imgList[currImage].@details == "true"){

                        dynamicButtons.addElement(newButton);
            var isMultiPage:String = navControl[2]["multiPages"];
            var videoPresent:String = navControl[1]["videoPresent"];
            if(videoPresent == "true"){
                if(isMultiPage != "true"){

    as you know, my xml gets divided into two saperate xmllistcollections one is the userOptionProvider, and the troubleshootingProvider
    as is in the following xml

    Im having some trouble updating my list... basically change to the troubleshooting tab, and then select the one that i need...
    hopefully that makes sence...

  • Hi, I need help with scrolling

    Hello I am Kevin Jin, I am working a huge project acually not that big, but I need help with five things, i mihgt have more things in my mind but here it is
    1. I need help with scrolling like where you have buttons for example or press on a navigation bar tab, then it goes to that specific pace of the page, for a one page website, for example some sites you press on contacts and gose down to the bottom of the page where the contacts place is located, not opening a new link.
    2.Second also I need help with navigation bar, where it fallows the scroll as it gose down, like for example when it is html the object is fixed to the top, and when you scroll down it will fallow it it,
    3.I need Parallex scrolling where you can have the timeline or animations run while you scroll in the meantime and have animation running all the time, for example the infographic site where the bees are fluying but still have seperate animations while you scroll
    4.I am so sorry i have two more to go, i appreciate your help, I would also like to ask if like looping each animations sperately, not looping the whole timeline, can it be possible to loop an animation while you have all the interactivity witht he site like looping seperately all the time, without interfeering with all the other animation
    5.I also are wondering if you can create multiple pages on one animate project, like multiple pages with html
    I just moved on to edge animate from html, and html was also beirf learn for me and mostly i was doing design work, and i thought getting out of graphic river and moving on the theme forest would be a better idea for me, thank you guys so much of the help and add me on skype : kevin2019170 or add me on facebook ; [email protected] or graphicriver, www.graphicriver.net/user/phantomore I would appriciate if you just would like contact me through SNS since I have that in hany 24 hours long, but the thred will also do, thank you doo much foryour help,
    P.S, I want also all the five things to work on one aimate project not interfeering with other ideas liek all five questions i had should run on one site,
    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP AND I APPRICIATE YOUR HELP!

    1.
    write this code in your button Click
    $('html,body').animate({scrollTop: sym.$("Your Symbole Name Here").offset().top}, "slow"); // scroll to the top of that symbol name
    Or :
    $('html,body').animate({"scrollTop":"600px"}, 750); // Higher value means slower , scroll to top page
    1 and 2 see this post http://forums.adobe.com/message/5531344#5531344
    3 use edge commons plugin http://www.edgedocks.com/edgecommons
    4.just put the animations behind eachother so when 1 is done, start with the animating the other symbol/div
    5. i thin its best just to make for every page a new project or make the site in muse.

    What's the problem you're having ???
    PS.

  • I need help with shooting in my flash game for University

    Hi there
    Ive tried to make my tank in my game shoot, all the code that is there works but when i push space to shoot which is my shooting key it does not shoot I really need help with this and I would appriciate anyone that could help
    listed below should be the correct code
    //checking if the space bar is pressed and shooting is allowed
    if(evt.keyCode == 32 && shootAllow){
        //making it so the user can't shoot for a bit
        shootAllow = false;
        //declaring a variable to be a new Bullet
        var newBullet:Bullet = new Bullet();
        //changing the bullet's coordinates
        newBullet.y = tank_mc.y + tank_mc.width/2 - newBullet.width/2;
        newBullet.x = tank_mc.x;
        //then we add the bullet to stage
        addChild(newBullet);
    listed below is my entire code
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
        //declare varibles to create mines
    //how much time before allowed to shoot again
    var cTime:int = 0;
    //the time it has to reach in order to be allowed to shoot (in frames)

            currentHP = 0;
            trace("Game Over");
        updateHealthBar();

    USe the trace function to analyze what happens and what fails to happen in the code you showed.  trace the conditional values to see if they are set up to allow a shot when you press the key

                                  <p>The University of Massachusetts Amherst is leading a Commonwealth Alliance for Information Technology Education (CAITE) to design and carry out comprehensive programs that address under representation in information technology (IT) education and the workforce. CAITE will focus on women and minorities in groups that are underrepresented in the Massachusetts innovation economy; that is, economically, academically, and socially disadvantaged residents.</p>
                                  <p>The project will pilot a series of outreach programs supported by educational pathways in three regions (one rural, one suburban, and one urban). The project will include work with high school teachers, staff, and counselors. CAITE will identify best practices and disseminate, deploy, extend and institutionalize these best practices statewide and nationally.</p>
                                  <p>Community colleges are the centerpiece of CAITE because of the central role they play in reaching out to underserved populations and in serving as a gateway to careers and further higher education.</p>
                                  <p>This project will build a broad alliance built on its leadership in and partnership with the Commonwealth Information Technology Initiative (CITI), the Boston Area Advanced Technological Education Center (BATEC), regional Louis Stokes Alliances and NSF EGEP programs, and other partnerships and initiatives focused on information technology education and STEM pipeline issues</p>

  • I need Help with a website I've created

    I need help with a website I've created (www.jonathanhazelwood.com/lighthouse) I created the folowing site with dreamweaver at my current resolution 1366 by 768. Looks great on my screen resolution but if it is viewed on other resolutions the menu moves and some of the text above and below. How can I keep all content centered and working like it does on 1366 by 768 on all resolutions. The htm to my site is below I started off with a blank template through dreamweaver CS5.

    Look at all the apdiv's you have.  Those are absolutely positioned layers.  I'm assuming by your post that you are very new to Dreamweaver and HTML and CSS.  I would highly recommend not using absolutely positioned layers until you have a better grasp on HTML and CSS.
    Looking at your code I would suggest that you consider using one of Dreamweaver's built in, or downloadable templates as a starting point and work from there.

  • Need help with almost completed plugin engine project

    Hi all,
    For a while now I have been working on a plugin engine. After a few iterations, the engine is similar to the Eclipse engine, in that plugins use extension points and extensions to allow contributions. Unlike the eclipse engine I have added the ability for plugins to fire events through the engine and other plugins can add listeners, all through the plugin.xml manifest. Dependencies are mostly handled automatically at plugin load time (when extensions get resolved to extension points, and listeners get resolved to events). For the case where a plugin needs to use classes from another plugin, dependencies are also allowed to be declared. Like the eclipse engine, activation of plugins occurs the first time a class is used within the plugin's classpath, OR a plugin can be activated after it is loaded.
    What I need help with is testing, working on examples to provide with the engine project, and feedback/suggestions before we release the M1 build. I am asking for those that are interested in this type of work to volunteer to help where applicable and possible. I want to provide a solid plugin engine to the java community, one that is easy to use, works well, and is pretty effecient in terms of resource usage and performance.
    Of particular interest to me right at the moment is dealing with multiple versions. As I see it, the engine will be used within an application and as such plugins would be distributed with a specific application version. The plugin version itself is more of a notification as to what version a plugin is, although I imagine it will help when updating at runtime as well.
    Just a few other details of the engine. It handles (or will soon) dynamic load, unload and reload of plugins at runtime. Plugins can be distributed in an archive file format, we call .par (Plugin ARchive), with additional plugin filename extensions configurable at runtime. The plugins can be developed and deployed in an expanded directory format as they are in Eclipse as well, or in the archive format. In the archive format they do not need to be unzipped when deployed, and they can contain embeded jar/zip libraries. The engine handles finding and creating classes directly out of the .par file at runtime.
    Multiple locations to find plugins are configurable before the engine starts, and even after it starts more could be added to allow additional locations to find plugins. URLs are supported, and soon the HTTP protocol will be supported so that plugins can be downloaded and installed at runtime.
    The project can be found at www.sourceforge.net/projects/genpluginengine. If you would like to get involved and help out, please sign up on the dev mail list and send an email to introduce yourself to the rest of the members on the list.
    I'll also add that I am working on a Swing UI Framework built entirely from plugins. It provides a ready-to-launce UI application that developers can simply add their plugins to, extending various extension points of the framework to have menu items, toolbar buttons, status bar access, help and preferences dialog additions, file i/o choosers, tons of open-source components ready to use (or extend to add on to), and like Eclipse, hopefully... draggable window frames that can be dropped on any other frame to form a tabbed frame of windows. Some of this is a ways off, some is getting there now. Presently you can add menu items that do allow plugin activation when first clicked, so plugins can be loaded but not activated until needed. The Preference dialog works but is not completed, and a plugin that adds a plugin control panel to view all loaded plugins, activate them, load/unload/reload, view extension points, extensions, dependencies, etc is partially completed. The point is, to allow a ready to run UI framework in Swing with an easy path for developers to quickly build applications with. If you are interested in this, when you join the mail list and introduce yourself, indicate that you are interested in this as well, as we need help with plugin development for it and would appreciate more help here too.
    Look forward to some replies.

    Might I suggest setting up a project at a known project-site? I've seen your progress and questions posted here from time to time, but one of the drawbacks is that you have to fill each post with the entirity of your vision to explain what you're doing. That's a lot of text to read - and most folks will skip right over it.
    On the other hand, a well-crafted, good-looking project web-site, with appropriate links and docs and vision statements, diagrams, etc. will have more likelyhood of attracting volunteers. java.net and sourceforge.net are likely spots to set up shop. In addition, you get CVS and bug-tracking systems, which can be quite valuable in such a large-scale project where there are lots of pieces.

  • Need help with Outlook 2013 connecting to Exchange server(2010)

    Hi
    I need help with Outlook 2013 and with my exchange server(2010) email account
    After setting up account initially emails come in and than after an hour or two stop. My OWA is working fine with no issues. I have even created a forward rule in OWA to my GMAIL account whch works fine
    However Outlook 2013 is not syncing messages, have difficulty in sending emails sometimes as it takes too long.  In fact the connection also is intermittent. Even if the task bar shows connected to exchange, it seems that is not the case since new emails
    and any emails I compose dont work.  I have trouble shot the issue with my ISP and email service provide, but they havent resolved the issue  I have also done a TraceRoute and that shows no drops or problems to he exchange server.
    Can someone please help me resolve this matter so I can continue to use Outlook 2013( running Windows 8.1) in both my computers which have the identical problem
    Look forward to a solution soon
    Thanks

    Hi Angela
    Thanks for your message
    To answer your questions, please note the following
    a) My account is set up in Cache Mode( not online mode)
    b) I am the only other user on the account
    c) When the connection to the exchange server is broken, I see upon clicking connection tab that there is no information in the box, and when I press reconnect it starts showing "connecting"
    d) When the connection to the server is there, it shows  connection as "established"
    e) Sorry I dont understand th meaning of CAS array in your environment?  Can you pls explain
    Since yday I have been using Outlook 2010 on desktop and Outlook 2013 on my laptop using Exchange 2013 account.  So far all emails are syncing, and I can send emails from both computers. However, I am concerned that the connection can break-off anytime,
    as it has done that in the past on both outlook versions.  The max time it has worked without any problem is 48 hrs and than after that the same issue of not connection, not syncing and unable to send emails happens
    My ISP has checked and there is no network connectivity issues. My email service provider has trouble shot the issue many times, but to no positive results.  I have also changed the profile a few times, but the intermittent connectivity problem hasn't
    been resolved.
    Can you identify the possible causes and more importantly a working permanent solution please
    Thanks
    Mahesh

  • Need help with advanced applet

    I need help with designing an applet as follows. Can someone give me a basic layout of code and material so i can fill in the rest or at leats give me some hints so i can get started since i am like no good at applets.
    Design and implement an applet that graphically displays the processing
    of a selection sort. Use bars of various heights to represent
    the values being sorted. Display the set of bars after each swap. Put
    a delay in the processing of the sort to give the human observer a

  • Need help with Patch Tool in CS5

    I am having a problem using the patch tool in Photoshop CS5. I click on the Patch Tool and select the Source option from the upper tool bar. Then I circle a gray area in the background of my photo and, holding down the left mouse button, I drag the selection to a black area in the background and release the mouse button. Instead of turning the selected area black it just makes the area slightly darker than it was originally. I just don’t understand why I can’t use the patch tool and any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much for these suggestions. Robert
