No drop-down menus work

All drop-down menus act as if they're disabled, I click it and nothing happens.
I can't even answer the "This happened" field on this site, because it doesn't work.
I'm currently running Firefox in safe mode, so it's not an addon problem.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

None of the drop down menus work they r highlighted gray so I can't access them got the latest updates running lion. 10.7.2 all software is up to date

Just updated everything but when I open iTunes all my drop down menus are gray and I can't selecte them. To close out iTunes I have to use command option esc and force quit because all drop down menus and shaded gray and I can't access them

1 - the sudden disappearance of my 22 mailboxes, used to sort the emails that I need to file for future use
That was most likely the result of some kind of corruption, as I've already said, not a bug in Mail. Have you repaired the hard drive with Disk Utility recently? That wouldn't be a bad idea.
2 - at random times, mail (or the server) says that my password is incorrect and I must reenter (fix: usually I can quit mail, restart, and the connection is restored without reentering my password)
This is a known issue, where a failure to respond promptly on the server's end mimics what happens when the password is rejected. There's no need to quit Mail, just cancel when asked to enter the password, take the account back online and try again.
3 - mail seems to resort the mail in my mailboxes at random time. Several times a day, I must reset the sort to (a) by date; (b) by desending
Never seen that before. That points more to some kind of possible corruption in your Mail data or preference files.

Having trouble with the way the drop down menus work.

Clicking on the heading/icon makes the drop-down visible for a second or two, then either they vanish altogether, or leave a ghost outline. Moving along the headings, sometimes they displays correctly, sometimes they appear and vanish, sometimes they just show a ghost image.
This is a new install of Windows 7 64bit. Not done much surfing yet, but have been on http://www.volvooceanrace.com which is content heavy.
Affects right-click menu as well.

Drop down menus on certain websites (ie ESPN) are no longer working on Firefox but work with both Chrome and IE on same computer so I believe its Firefox issue.

I tried updating Firefox to 19 and then even the Beta 20 version. I have rebooted computer countless times. On the same computer, I can open IE and bring up ESPN and the drop down menus work fine so I know its not a computer issue and it must have something to do Firefox. I tried the "starting in safe mode" and disabling add ons because I saw those suggestions but that didnt work. I also tried unchecking the box about hardware acceleration because I saw that suggested also and needless to say that didnt work either. Can someone please please help me, its very frustrating.

The menu on the ESPN site is generated via JavaScript, so make sure that you aren't blocking JavaScript if the menus aren't working.

Drop Down Menus Fail in iPad Safari

Drop down menus work for a while on iPad Safari.
When they stop working, i.e., any selection takes you to the Home page,
if you clear cache, cookies, then they work for them.
Is there a better fix for this problem?

I would like to correct this. The iOS is 7.0.3. Thanks.

All drop down menus opens and hides emmideately on ubuntu 14 with touch screen display

Hi!
On ubuntu 14 with ViewSonic TD2340 touch monitor ("Advanced Silicon S.A CoolTouch(TM) System" touch panel) all drop down menus in firefox (in other system applications drop down menus works fine) opens and hides emmideately (I can't select any element in it).
I can't use special system function "Click on Focus", because it is just like double click - drop down menus shows with delay, but it is not real to work in ubuntu - I always have 2 clicks instead 1.

My Drop Down Menus Do Not Work Properly in IE

Hey. I'm really stuck and have been for over a week. Let me preface this by telling you I didn't build our website and have little knowledge of spry and spry assets. I can't the get the gentleman that built our site to help and I'm desperate!
The site - www.ncsoccer.org , has drop down menus. They work fine in Chrome, FF and Live Preview (DW CS4). But in IE8, they do not.
I had to revise the drop downs (changing names and removing some drop downs - I've done this with no problem before). When I uploaded the index page and the template pages, the error started.
In addition, the people in my office that use Contribute to update their sections, cannot access anything but our index page and I don't know what (if anything) I've done wrong, as everything worked fine before the menu revision.
I'm including the 'sprymenubarhorizontal.css" code below. Maybe you can see something that isn't right.
Thanks for any insight or suggestions. Remember, asking me to create to create sprys or widgets or something like that may be over my head! Try to dumb it down for me!
Thanks.

A;though the CSS is very well documented, there are those that ignore those signs. Look at the following
/* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are a fixed width */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 100%;
    position: relative;
    text-align: left;
    cursor: pointer;
    width: auto;
    float: left;
The rest have been given a width of 15em, so this value may be a good start.
DESIGN INFORMATION: describes color scheme, borders, fonts
/* Submenu containers have borders on all sides */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
    border: 1px solid #CCC;
   width: auto;
    background-attachment: fixed;
Just keep the border property and remove the other two.

Drop down menus disappear in a blink of an eye. If I open more than 10 tabs I can't get to them, the arrow takes me back to the first 10. Only in FF, IE works fine. Tried safe mode and no change. It was fine one day and then not the next?

drop down menus don't work...they disappear in a blink of an eye. This only happens in FF not IE? That includes the menu below! I can't have more than 10 tabs open because the arrow won't take me past 10 it just returns to the first 10???

Did you ever figure this out? I bought my iPad last week to use in my business as well. I assume you are trying to use alldata? That is where I noticed this same issue. I had problems with identifix working with safari but downloaded a different browser and that works fine. Alldata does not work with either browser. The main difference is that on identifix if there is only one engine selection, it automatically selects the only option and continues to the home page. With alldata you have to make the selection manually even if there is only one option. Honestly if I can't get this to work I am going to return the iPad as it looses a significant amount of usefulness to men

My drop down menus made in Fireworks wont work after I put them in Dreamweaver

I am trying to make a site for my work. And I made a drop down menu within Fireworks. I pasted the code into the place I wanted it to go on Dreamweaver, then I saved the page and went into Internet Explorer. I rolled over my buttons that were supposed to be drop downs and they only work if you refresh then roll over and once you take your mouse off of it, you'd have to refresh again to see the buttons. I have tried and tried to figure this out but I just cant seem to. PLEASE HELP!

Here is the link to my page
http://lakechelanmirror.bravehost.com/
The drop down menus are supposed to be the NEWS button and MIRROR BLOG button.
I THINK this is the code for the menu..
var mmOpenContainer = null;
var mmOpenMenus = null;
var mmHideMenuTimer = null;
function MM_menuStartTimeout(hideTimeout) {
mmHideMenuTimer = setTimeout("MM_menuHideMenus()", hideTimeout);
function MM_menuHideMenus() {
MM_menuResetTimeout();
if(mmOpenContainer) {
var c = document.getElementById(mmOpenContainer);
c.style.visibility = "inherit";
mmOpenContainer = null;
if( mmOpenMenus ) {
for(var i in mmOpenMenus) {
   var m = document.getElementById(mmOpenMenus[i]);
   m.style.visibility = "hidden";
mmOpenMenus = null;
function MM_menuHideSubmenus(menuName) {
if( mmOpenMenus ) {
var h = false;
var c = 0;
for(var i in mmOpenMenus) {
   if( h ) {
    var m = document.getElementById(mmOpenMenus[i]);
    m.style.visibility = "hidden";
   } else if( mmOpenMenus[i] == menuName ) {
    h = true;
   } else {
    c++;
mmOpenMenus.length = c+1;
function MM_menuOverMenuItem(menuName, subMenuSuffix) {
MM_menuResetTimeout();
MM_menuHideSubmenus(menuName);
if( subMenuSuffix ) {
var subMenuName = "" + menuName + "_" + subMenuSuffix;
MM_menuShowSubMenu(subMenuName);
function MM_menuShowSubMenu(subMenuName) {
MM_menuResetTimeout();
var e = document.getElementById(subMenuName);
e.style.visibility = "inherit";
if( !mmOpenMenus ) {
mmOpenMenus = new Array;
mmOpenMenus[mmOpenMenus.length] = "" + subMenuName;
function MM_menuResetTimeout() {
if (mmHideMenuTimer) clearTimeout(mmHideMenuTimer);

Why are drop down menus on webpages in Safari no longer working? I have iphone4 ios6.0.1. Is there a fix?

Since I updated to 6.0, the drop down menus on the web pages I use in Safari on my iphone 4 are no longer working. The drop down appears and then quickly disappears so that you can't select anything. Is there a fix? One example is http://www.scvavolleyball.org/ I need to select Juniors>Girls>Weekend Sites but I can't on my phone....but I used to be able to....and I still can on my ipod touch. Help.

The current release supports the white-space property for a text area and it is possible that the website uses white-space: pre instead of white-space: pre-wrap.
The former will prevent Firefox from wrapping the text.
You can check that in the Inspector via the right-click context menu.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Page_Inspector
See:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/36#CSS
<blockquote>The white-space property is now working on <textarea> HTML elements (bug 82711).</blockquote>

DW-MX-04 Drop-down menus won't work.

I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004 (have been for several years, so I know my way around it). I want to create drop-down or fly-outs menu's to consolidate page links into categores in order to reduce the number of link tabs I have on each page. I've been able to create the menu's I needed (using: Tag Chooser\ Behaviors\ Show Pop-U Menu), but when I preview the pages in IE, the text only shows on the mouseover text (not on top) despite having the text color set as black in the Menu window. But it gets worse. When I uploaded the page to try it, the drop down menus don't show up at all when I hover over the main buttons and I get javascript errors.
Can anyone give me so assistance on how to resolve this?
I've checked the text color issue using the code view editing pane, and it matches the way I have it setup in the Pop-Up Menu. But that's the least of my worries if I can't get them to work at all when the pages are live.
Thanks...JEB

MX2004 software is also somewhat antiquated and no longer supported by Adobe. So it shouldn't surprise you that the tools from nearly a decade ago are obsolete today. The web itself has changed significantly since 2004!
Web standards have moved from HTML3 to HTML5. Layouts have departed from old school nested tables to more efficient CSS. Unlike a decade ago, today's web devices include everything from hand held smartphones & tablets to laptops, desktops and TV displays. So it's not possible to stand still and keep pace with the evolving web. If you're not moving forward, you're falling behind.
CSS is not an extension. HTML = content. CSS = Cascading Style Sheets. CSS is used to style your content. With CSS you can make an ordinary list look like a very cool menu with buttons, borders, shadows, drop-down and rollover effects. If you master CSS, you can do some very creative things with it. However, coding skills are essential.
Below is an example of an unordered list styled with CSS to make a nice horizontal drop-menu.
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/CSS-Multi-colored-drop-menu.shtml
To further illustrate the efficiency and power of CSS, look at CSS Zen Garden.
http://www.csszengarden.com/
Every page on the right panel contains exactly the same HTML code as the first. The only difference is the CSS code.
The shift to CSS is intended to help web designers keep styles separate from content. Learning to work with CSS will make a you better web designer and save countless hours of tedious re-coding when you decide to change the look of your site. It's much easier to edit one file instead of many.
Below are some links to help you learn more about how to work with CSS.

Multiple drop down menus won't work

Hi guys,
Mac newbie here: I decided to give them a shot after a lifetime of PC use due to a friend's recommendations.
I'm trying to apply for jobs, and every single site that has two drop down menus, with one dependent on the other, won't work in Safari. (if I go try it out on a PC with IE, it works without any problems). For example, a menu that reads "country" and the next one reads "state". It will let me choose the country, but then the "state" one won't work at all, with the only option being "choose one".
As these are required fields to send the application along, I'm having to borrow someone else's computer every time I apply for a job, and that's getting old fast. Any ideas on how to get Safari to quit hanging up on the dropdowns?
I have no idea if this matters or not, but I bought my Mac when I lived in Japan. I'm still running the English version of the OS, though.
Thanks for any help you can give me!

I use www.alldatapro.com for auto repair information. It a members only site so it might be a bad example. The problem im having is, i cant select the first option in any dropdown menu. The badpart about that is some of the menus only have one option. In such a case, i have to log in on regular computer, put the info in, then reload the website on the ipad so i can use the "previous vehicles" option. I have a jailbroken ipad running 4.3.1. The dropdown mnus worked perfect until i upraded to 4.2 and i still havent found the source.

How to stop Ad. Reader XI erroneously opening copy of working file on top of original when cursor nears drop down menus, covering them?

Over the last two days, after opening any document in A R XI, as soon as the cursor nears the drop-down menus, another unwanted copy of the original document opens on top (but slightly offset from) that completely obscures the menu options. The original file is partially visible at the foot of the window but cannot be accessed by clicking.
On occasion a file opens from new without the drop-down menu options being visible. The above happens when I click in the empty space.
There have been slight variations of the above problem but at the moment I have not found a way to work with any pdf file
I can only close the document (and simultaneously the program) via the task bar.
I replaced the 'troublesome' program with a newly downloaded copy but the problem persists. I have scanned for viruses.
Any one with similar experiences find a solution?
Thanks.

Drop down menus not working in IE7

My devolper created a template for me using the Spry Menu Bar.
Everything is great, except in IE7, where the submenus drop down underneath the content below.
Here is the page:
http://test.swellinfo.com
If you pull this up in IE7, using IE tester, you will not be able to see the drop down menus... They are coming down, but are just hidden underneath.
Any help, is so greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

This actually did work... But, I have figured out that the issue is really in IE7... and for whatever reason the code was making IE8 go into compatability mode (essentially using IE7).
