Pop up menu links

Hi thanks for reading this can anybody tell me where I'm going wrong in dreamerweaver mx 2004 I have a list of buttons on the left side of the home page and have linked a pop up menu to each button to take me to another page. the problem occurs when I preview the site in explorer (f12 ) all looks ok when I click on the pop up menu it opens the relevant page but with a new tab but when I click the home button to take me back to the home page it goes back to the home page but on the page its just opened so I still have two tabs open it doesn't close one if I click other links on the pop up menu I can have loads of tabs open. any feedback would be brill. Ps i started to build the site then i had to move it to my other hardrive whlist i formmated this one because of a virus then i put it back again on c drive and carried on building could this have anything to do with it cheers.

You have not provided any way to look at your code and it is very difficult to read you post without much punctuation and no line breaks but as far as ican tell what youare asking is why do links open in new tabs instead of in the same tab or window when you click on them is that correct? See what I mean, kind of difficult to read isn't it?
If I understood you correctly, you probably have a target specified in the link tag. Just remove it.
That is, change:
<a href="YourLinkedPage.html" tareget="_blank">
to:
<a href="YourLinkedPage.html">

Pop up menu links dont work

i have created a pop up menu in fw then brought it into my
page using "fw insert html" into dw. saved the page as template. i
then modified it w/ behaviours to have internal page links. i have
already resolved the issue of the menu text showing thru the menu
colors by adding a wider border and making it dark so they wont be
seen. now the links from the pop up menu dont find the pages. i
have partially resolved the issue on the first page view but once
the page is found the menu doesnt work at all on the second page
using the pop up menu that are duplicated into all the pages from
the template.
any ideas?? help!!

Well, I found a coworker with CS4 and the popup menu editor appears to work. Further confirming that this may be a bug.

Pop up menu link problem in MX

I've added a test pop up menu which isn't working. The drop down 'New Link' links to www.taxaccount.co.uk/cgs.html but it doesn't show the link when clicked although the drop down does show. I've also uploaded the mm_menu.js file but no joy. Any ideas what to do to solve the problem please?

Your link code is being processed to search
for: http://www.taxaccount.co.uk/www.taxaccount.co.uk/cgs.html
which, as you can see, contains your domain name twice.
Change target code to target just cgs.html
Now that you have provided the link to the problem page, we can see the call for the remote javascript
<script language="JavaScript" src="mm_menu.js"></script>
located just above your </head> tag

Select from Pop-Up Menu return Data

I am trying to build a nutritional information table. Therefore I have Table 1 Sheet 1. The Columns A, B, C, and D are titled Food, Calorie, Carbohydrate, and Protein respectively. I have populated 10 rows of information (i.e. Chicken, 300, 0, 36).
What I want to be able to do is create another table, in this case Table 2, where I build my diet (based on my workouts) from the information listed in Table 1. For example, let's say in Table 2 I want to create Cells A1:A10 as Pop-Up Menus.
When I go to build my diet in Table 2, I would like my diet to consist of 5 food items. Therefore I select Cell A1:A5 in Table 2 which are Pop-Up Menus. All my options are linked to the Food Column in Table 1. After selecting the proper item the respective nutritional information will populate in the following columns.
Table 1
A1 B1 C1 D1 (Food, Calories, Carbohydrates, Protein)
w x y z
Table 2
A1 B1 C1 D1 (Food, Calories, Carbohydrates, Protein)
(A1 is a Pop-Up Menu linked to Table 1 Column A1)
Once I select w in Table 2 A1, Cell B1, C1, D1 will fill in automatically with the information from Table 1.
I hope I explained that clearly enough. If Numbers cannot do this, what do you recommend?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Yes, your formula for column C of table 2 would look something like the one below. The particular row does not matter, you can put this in all of your rows in column C. The first parameter (A) refers to the cell in column A that is in the same row as the formula. The second parameter (Table 1::A) refers to the entire A column of Table 1 (except for headers and footers). And the third (Table 1::C) refers to the entire column C of Table 1. The formula will look in Table 1::A for the value that matches Table 2::A and will return the corresponding value found in Table 1::C.
=LOOKUP(A,Table1::A,Table1::C)

Pointless change to Safari 6.1 pop-up menu for links

Can somebody please put the adults back in charge of OS development at Apple? This morning I was prompted to install the latest OS update, which includes a new version of Safari (6.1). Almost immediately I noticed this change to the order of items in the pop-up menu when you right-click a link: the position of the first two items is switched. That may seem like a trivial change, but if you're accustomed to opening different types of links in new tabs or new windows, then you've established a bit of muscle memory in your mouse hand, which is now thrown off by the change: you'll instinctively choose the wrong item. One of the basic principles of software usability is that you leverage the learned behaviors of your users, you don't turn them into obstacles.

It seems somebody at Apple strongly believes the UI must be tabbed for all things you do. I feel we're told "don't use windows if you can use tabs". Well, I won't be using tabs (neither in Safari, nor Finder, nor nothing), because they waste a precious line of display space.
Too much silly things done in OSX since Lion. As the OP said, please put adults back in charge of OS development. Thanks.
Big thanks also to MacOsX for sharing his (working) solution for this Safari bug (yes, it's a bug)

Is there a formula I can use to link a choice from pop-up menu to a $ amount in adjacent cell? i.e. if Item 1 is chosen, adjacent cell populates $125. if Item 2 is chosen, adjacent cell populates $250.

is there a formula I can use to link a choice from pop-up menu to a $ amount in adjacent cell? i.e. if Item 1 is chosen, adjacent cell populates $125. if Item 2 is chosen, adjacent cell populates $250. it seems like this must be possible. Help please!

Hi Gabe,
You could use an IF statement in the second cell.
Popup in column B, two items: "This", That" (without the quotes)
Formula in same row of column C
Format the cell in column C as currency.
If there are more than two items in the popup menu, it's better to use a lookup table containing the same list as the popup in column A, with the corresponding values in column B:
C5: =LOOKUP(B,List :: $A,List :: $B)

TS3147 My printer was no longer being detected, so I uninstalled it and when I went to reinstall it I discovered that I no longer have a printer pop up menu to select my printer.

I had a power failure and then began getting a message that the printer (Canon Pixma 610) was not detected. So, I unplugged it from the computer, restarted the computer and no change. The printer was still showing as the default printer, but not being detected. So I deleted the printer and then tried to reinstall it. However, when I clicked on the + sign to reinstall nothing came up. The screen was blank with no printer choices. I went to the Canon website to try and download the driver and received this message: There is no driver for the OS Version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver. I would appreciate any help...

MSG2014 wrote:
I finally contacted Canon and they informed me that my printer is not compatible with Maverick
As Greg stated, the Canon support person is simply referring to what they see on the web and knosw nothing about Mac's. The reality is that the v10.8 driver will work on 10.9. You just may need to get past Gatekeeper to install it. So here is a link to the v10.8 driver. If you get a message stating that the driver is not signed and cannot be installed, then this is Gatekeeper blocking it. So to install it, right click (or Control-click) on the installer and select Open from the pop-up menu. Now you will have the option to install.
The second issue is the printer not appearing in the Add printer window. The USB cable is often the cause as suggested already. Also USB hubs can be a cause. To check if the Mac can see the printer, open System Information and select USB in the left column. The top right pane will show all the USB busses in your Mac. The MP610 should be listed under one of these busses. If it is not present, then try another USB cable and/or another USB port on the Mac. Until you see the MP610 in this view, you will not be able to add the printer.

How to Change Spry Menu Links

I have a Spry Horizontal Menu on my page, and have a few
questions on creating customized Links:
- I know how to add a Link to my Reports, Pages, etc using
the Link Properties box
- I also know how to open the Link in a _blank page using the
Target property box
But
- How do I change the Menu Link in code to open my new page
in a smaller, new window?
(Right now, the TicketSummaryAcct.cfm page opens up fine, in
a new "full-sized" window)
Here is the code currently listed under that Menu button:
<li><a href ="reports/TicketSummaryAcct.cfm"
title="Click here to print the report by Account Number to PDF"
target=>_blank">by Acct# Prompt</a></li>
Thanks,
jlig

In the header of the webpage:
<script type="text/javascript">
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "',
'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=350,height=300 ');");
</script>
in the link section:
javascript:popUp('reports/TicketSummaryAcct.cfm')
don't use a target attribute, as it will break the javascript
in my experience. If you are using the pop-ups in more than 1
webpage, or even for good programming practices, make a function
page.
Webpage name: newWindow.js
function popUp(URL) {
day = new Date();
id = day.getTime();
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "',
'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=350,height=300 ');");
And then in the header of the webpage(s) that you need the
popup for, add this:
<script src="newWindow.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>

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.

Dreamweaver 8 Behaviors for pop-up menu

I am a novice user of Dreamweaver 8. I created a site using
pop-up Behaviors for a dropdown navigation bar. I've read about a
lot of problems others are having, but part of my problem I have
not been able to locate anywhere.
After I created my template and want to save changes to the
template and update the files based on this template, I go thru a
series of JavaScript errors. It never updates any files in the end
and sometimes shuts down the program. An example of ONE of the
error messages is:
At line 1654 of file "C:\Program Files\Macromedia/Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\Behaviors\Actions\Show Pop-up Menu.js": The
function saveDocument() is currently unavailable.
The more pages attached, the more error messages I get....
all are .js errors.
The other problem is the links from the pop-up. I've double
checked them in the behavior pop-up menu... they appear to be
correct and sometimes work, but not all the time.
Everything I read says that I should create the navigation
with pop-ups (drop down menus) in Fireworks. Is Dreamweaver that
unreliable that this can't be done within itself?
If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong to receive these
errors and how to correct my links so they are reliable, I would
very much appreciate it. I have recreated this site 6 times and the
errors are consistent.
Thanks, cjbyrnes

You read about all these problems, yet you pressed ahead and
used them? Why?
DW's Pop-up menus are incompatible with DW's templates.
Embarrassingly sad,
but true.
Did you read about and investigate any of the many
alternatives posted?

Rollovers with Pop up Menu

The last time I tried to do rollovers with a pop up menu in
Dreamweaver 8. It wouldn't work. So I'm searching for another way
to do it.
I created navigation using Fireworks - follow link below to
example. But when I mouse over the rollover that has a pop up menu
attached to it (First link on the left) the rollover images
disappear. Also the drop down menu tends to hang down longer than I
would like.
Can my problems be fixed? Is Fireworks the right tool for
this task?
I had down loaded a trial of the latest version of
Dreamweaver a few months ago and it seemed that this feature had
been deprecated, but there was some sort of plug-in. I'm far from a
casual user, but it was beyond me for the weekend I tried to use
it. Also, this is a bad time for me to invest in new software or
upgrades.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Example of rollover and
pop up menu problem

Don't use Fireworks to make HTML,
especially interactive HTML. Fireworks is a great tool for
making Web graphics, but it is
NOT
good for making HTML. Don't go there. You won't be happy.
Read this:
The
Sordid Tale of mm_menu and fw_menu.js and then save yourself
loads of frustration and go buy yourself a professional menu.
What's your billing rate? At $20/hr a $100 professional menu that
works, cross-browser, beautifully, is going to save you more
than 5 hours of hassle trying to get this stuff in Fireworks to
halfway...kinda...function...almost.
I don't use these kind of menus, but I've seen this question
asked often enough to know that one recommendation is the code from
Project
7.

Show Pop-Up Menu error

I'm having a problem with my site menu. The site works off a
template and all links are created in the template. I have a
central menu bar with rollover buttons, each with their own
drop-down menu (using the Show Pop-Up Menu behavior). When tested
in the browser, the menu drops down on mouse-over as it's supposed
to, but when the links in the drop-down menu are clicked on, an
error page comes up. The directory path specified in the Pop-Up
Menu behavior is correct, but changes inexplicably when tested in
the browser. All other links in the site (not in drop-down menu
format) function as they're supposed to. I have no clue how to fix
this problem. I think there may be a script error in the mm_menu.js
file which is automatically created by Dreamweaver, but am not sure
how to go about correcting this. Any ideas?

> When creating pop-up menus everything works fine
You just think. Read this (written by the person who adapted
the original
Netscape code for Macromedia) -
http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
Those menus are a plague.
Anyhow, try this -

Behaviors Pop Up Menu

I have been using adding the behavior 'Show Pop Up Menu' to create a drop down list for my link menu. I add all the page links and upload. It works fine on the website. However if I try to change anything the next time I open the page in dreamweaver it has lost all the links.
In the events box I have still got On mouse out - hide menu etc but when I double click on On mouse over - show pop up menu all the links and text have dissapeared in the Contents section of the wizard part.
Can anyone help me with where I am going wrong. As everytime I want to make a change I have to re add all the pages and all the links.
Thanks in advance
Rachel

Thank you, I am using Dreamweaver MX.
I am a novice and have sort of understood that link you gave me! Basically does it mean that the show pop up menu behaviour is rubbish and there is no solution to my problem!?!

Troubleshooting pop-up menu in Dreamweaver 8

Hello,
I'm using Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.
1. Created a pop-menu woith 6 items all linking to 6 different anchors in a different page.
2. The first 5 items work fine - they link up to the 5 anchors in the destination page.
3. The 6th item when clicked simply closes the pop-menu and does not link to the anchor in the destination page.
    (Completely checked the anchor name and also tested that anchor by linking from a different page).
Please reply asap.Please see HTML Code below:
thanks
