Pop Up Menu Question

I can generate pop up menus in fireworks, transfer to dreamweaver and they work fine, except; I can't figure out how to change the menu item with the mouse over as the mouse moves over the menu word (like change the text or background color). Can I do this? I am using CS3 on dreamworks and fireworks. I have looked at spry and based on what I have seen, I do like as well as using fireworks.
Thanks

Sounds like you need only one popup. Column B (what you called "column 2") should either be a nested IF statement or a lookup function. The lookup functions are cleaner than a nested IF statement but here is an IF statement anyway:
=IF(A=123,"Job 1",IF(A=342,"Job 2",IF(A=654,"Job 3","")))

Fireworks pop-up menu question

when i use fireworks mx to create pop-up menus, the second level menus don't show on the iphone
when i use cs5 and export as external css, the second levels do appear on the iphone but i'm having a different problem - i'm centering the main image but the submenus don't follow to the trigger point they stay put, on the left of where they should be

The FW pop up menus are - quite possibly - the worst thing to use for a production-level site. And this is coming from a guy who LOVES Fireworks.
They code is bloated, difficult to customize outside of FW and no longer supported by Dreamweaver. Avoid them for anything but prototyping.
The other point worth raising though, is the usability of the site on a smart phone. You may want ot reconsider how the site is navigated when users are on a small-screen device, just for usability's sake, if nothing else. Always remember, big clumsy fingers have to tap the right menu item and if you have navigation with pop up sub-menus, that may be difficult. If you're relying on the user to pinch and zoom (like my stupid bank does) then you will frustrate the user, or possibly even give themt he impression that the company doens't understand mobile browsing.
Consider simplyfiying your navigation to larger, easy to tap buttons. Create style sheets that optimize the screen space for different screen sizes. If you're new to this, it will take some trial and error, but Dreamweaver offers several features to make it easier to design for multiple screen sizes, such as jQuery Mobile templates, and multi-screen preview.
And last - but not least - remember that FW is a GRAPHICS program, with some html capabilities, not a web authoring environment. Just as you don't expect to do complex imaging in Dreamweaver, you should not rely on Fireworks to do any complicated HTML/CSS web site authoring.

Pop-Up Menu Bar Question

Hello, here is my problem, if you could help me out here it would be greatly appreciated.
My problem:
My main page index.html is a frameset with a left frame, top frame and main frame. The top frame is where the logo is and the tag line, the main frame is where the pages will appear and the left frame has a nav bar made from a pop-up menu. Here is my problem, when you scroll over the type in the navbar, the pop-up shows up behind the main frame. How can I correct this? All of the links are working properly and the site is working great except for this.
Thank you in advance for your help. I would post the link here but I don't have it on the internet yet, it is still in production.

FRAMES are a bad idea in general. Tables are best used for tabular data such as spreadsheets or charts.
Choose a CSS starter page or layout that provides a left column or sidebar region where you can insert a common navigation menu.
EXAMPLE:
http://alt-web.com/TEMPLATES/2-col-liquid-layout.shtml
Add commonly used headers, footers, adverts and save it as a DW Template (DWT). Then add some editable regions to your Template for text and images that will change from page to page.

Why am I unable to update my Firefox 3.0 when the pop-up menu tells me that the download was complete?

I am repeatedly told to upgrade my version of Firefox.
Each time I attempt this, whether I disable my anti-virus software (AVG) or not, I get a pop-up menu telling me the download was completed but I still seem to be on the 3.0 version.

You appear to have upgraded to a supported version. I will also attempt to answer your other question. [/questions/885242]

Best way to create pop-up menu's

Hi All,
I have been having a heck of a time doing something that i
would have assumed to be relatively simple - specifically creating
a pup-up menu.
My first set of approach was to dynamically create a movie
clip on a button rollover, and within that movieclip create several
other movie clips that i then assigned actions too. The problem was
that since i applied a action on "rollout" on the initial movie
clip, it became a button, and as such all of the sub
movieclips/buttons became in active (any click was only detected on
the parent).
My second set of attempts have been around the MenuComponent
(see other posts), but here too i have hit problems, initially with
animation and depth. I solved the animation issue, but the depth
problem remains.
Now, i see pop-up menu's everywhere, so i assume that this is
a relatively simple problem - so what am i missing. A google search
showed up lots of examples of how to do using menu that are created
in the UI (rather than purely in AS), using purchased components.
The first case is not an option since i need to create it fully
dynamically, the second would be an option - however i typically
need a far greater level of visual control than off the shelf
components provide (hence i have needed to build up my own class
library for many common tasks).
So after all that, i have a simple question.
"What is the best way to create a dynamic popup menu in
AS2?"
Regards
Neil

I guess you want to make your own popup menu, if I understand
correctly. Nothing simpler, your first attempt was in the right
direction, you just don't assign button actions to the parent clip,
because you won't get the child clips to work, but add another
child at the lowest level inside the parent, that acts as a
"background" clip/button.
And for the rollout for the entire popup, you can add a
transparent clip just under the popup (which is at the currently
topmost depth) covering the entire stage, give it rollover that
acts as your rollout, and make it not use the hand currsor, so you
can't tell it's there.
That's how I do it, anyways..

Customizing Sorting Pop-Up Menu

I've looked on all the forums, can't find answer to this specific question.
I'm using Aperture 1.5.6, but will take an answer on 2.0 too.
I don't use most of the "default" categories established in the Sorting Pop-up Menu. But I do use other categories, like IMPORT GROUP, to sort pictures. Each time I want to see pictures according to category not in default I have to go to the List View and click on category. I cannot figure out a way to save this sort or add this category to "default" list.
Is there a way, a workaround?
Thanks.

Be wary of editing pop-up menus in Numbers. Altering any menu that has been set will change the menu AND its current setting.

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.

Using pop-up menu to fill another sheet

Although I am certain the answer to this question is posted somewhere, I can't find it.
I am trying to create a school budget spreadsheet. Each row has a pop-up menu where I designate which class the purchase is for.
I want to populate the class' spread sheet with the information automatically once I choose the class in the pop-up menu.
for example:
If Class A buys $250 worth of books, I add it to my general spread sheet: Column A =type Column B=Date, Column C= Description, Column D=Category, Column E=Class(POP-UP), Column F=Amount, and Column G= Balance.
When I fill in the info and choose Class A in the pop-up. Once this happens the specific sheet for Class A automatically updates with the same information.
I hope I am making this clear.
Thanks for your help!!
Conrad

Hi Conrad,
Here's your tables, using the method described in the discussion I linked to earlier. The table containing the selected cell is "Class C"
I used two header rows in the Data table to allow entering a starting balance outside the body rows of the table, and zero header columns. The other four tables have one header row and zero header columns ("Basic" in the Table button).
I moved the popup cells to column A. They are not needed in the individual class tables, and moving them avoids the complications of interrupting the range of cells to be transferred to the individual class tables.
The Date columns contain actual dates; the format was chosen to allow for narrow columns so the screen shot would be narrow enough to not cause left-right scrolling to be required in the discussion thread.
There are only two 'working' formulas, one in Test, the other in each of the Class tables.
In Test:
A2: =IF($Class=A$1,ROW(),65537)
Fill right into columns B and C.
Fill down to last row of Test.
Note: Test must contain at least as many rows as does Data.
In Class A:
A2: =IFERROR(OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,SMALL($'A',(ROW())-1)-1,COLUMN()+0),"")
Note: After entering the formula, and before filling it right and down, Select this table in the left side bar and press command-D to make duplicates for each class.
Fill the formula right into columns B to E.
Fill down to last row in the table.
Note: Each table needs enough rows to include all purchases. Rows can be added, and the formulas filled down at any time.
Other Classes:
For each other class, change " $'A' " in the formula to match the column in Test for that class, then Fill right and Fill down.
For an explanation of the functions used, see the iWork Functions and Formulas User Guide, available via the Application (Numbers) menu in Numbers.

Barry

I want to keep a Pop Up Menu blank when not used?

I've got a spread sheet that in several cells that I have a Pop Up Menu assigned and the first menu shows up in the cell in all of the cells for the Pop Up Menu. What I'd like to have is to keep those cells blank with no text or anything unless I click on the cell and use the Pop Up Menu.
Hopefully someone understands what I'm trying to do here.

Todd,
Your new question can be construed as, sort of, similar if you use the Conditional Format route.
Select all the cells where you want to have this effect, and set a Conditional Fornat where "Equal To: 0" results in Text Color of the same as your cell background Fill, usually White.
An IF-test in the cells with the percentage calculation will wortk too. Let's say your base value is in Column A.
=IF(A>0, A*X%, "")
where X is the amount of the percentage you are calculating will blank the cell on a zero result.
Regards,
Jerry

Help inserting Fireworks pop-up menu into Dreamweaver

I wonder if anyone can help me with pop-up menu insertion
process. I create the menu in Fireworks and export it to
Dreamweaver. I place the menu in a fresh test document and it works
perfectly every time, but when I go through the exact same series
of steps in my real page, I get a broken image icon. I just can't
understand why the path is fine one way, yet gets lost in the
shuffle the other way. The only two differences I can think of are
where in the site folder the test page is saved, as opposed to
where the real (archive) page is stored, and the fact that the
archive page already has rows and columns and cells, where the
fresh test page has just one basic table and nothing else at all. I
even tried manipulating the code directly to make the sections in
question identical, and even that doesn't do it. As far as I could
see, my actual working site page (which won't accept the insertion)
had one extra bit of code, namely
<td colspan="4"
Everything else seems to be the same.
I am losing my sanity over this!

Would it be too late to direct you to another menu approach
altogether? The
FW pop-up menus are not the sharpest knife in the drawer -

How to add a button on a pop up menu ?

I have designed my Site on FW and then exported to DW.
Everyting was fine, but now my client asked me to add a new option
in the pop up menu that I already have built. MY QUESTION is: Am I
supposed to add the new option in FW, and then re-export the file
to DW ? because i f so.. I have to update many many code then...
Isn't there any way to edit my popup menu through DW only ??
please, any helo will be appreciated !
thanx a lot,

First mistake was creating the site in FW. You will probably
have to create the button in FW and re-export to all of your pages.
Get some tutorials on CSS and HTML coding. Then put your site
together in Dreamweaver. Use FW to create images, graphics and even
buttons but use them in HTML with CSS. Then adding new buttons and
links will be a snap.
Also look into SSI (Server Side Includes) so you can add one
button to one file and have all your pages update with the new link
automatically.
These guys have some really great tutorials (and free and
commercial extensions).

Change monitor pop-up menu to "On with feedback protection"

I bought a GarageBand book, Apple Training Series: GarageBand '09, to guide me through the learning curve with GarageBand. In the book it says to "Change monitor pop-up menu to "On with feedback protection"" but my GarageBand does not have this option. I have the latest version, but only three options and none of them are "On with feedback protection". The only "ON" choice I have does not give feedback protection as an option. "There is an OFF with no feedback Protection"
Is it hidden somewhere else? Please advise.

Ipad numbers pop up menu calculation

Hi I am using numbers on my ipad and have two questions.
I have a worksheet which has a column with 15 cells that all have a pop up menu. The menu has two choices for answers a: girl b: boy.
I need to create a function that will calculate how many boys and how many girls have been selected. Is there a way this can be done.?
Also I have a column that has 15 tick boxes. If the cell is ticked I would like it to go green if it is not ticked I would like it to stay red. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance guys.

if there is a column with these pop-ups... lt's say column B in a table named "Table 1"
and you have a another table for a summary that refers to "Table 1", you can use countif():
For the table "Summary":
B2=COUNTIF(Table 1::$B, A2)
select B2, copy,
select the column B by clicking the column header "B", then command click cell B1 to unselect, paste

Show/Hide layer with Pop-up menu

I love the fact that we are talking about websites here and this one WORKS LIKE ****...and that's diarrhea. I have been trying to just get on this ******* forum to ask this question for 2 days.
Anyway, I typed this out earlier but it wasn't accepted, I don't know why. Let's see if this one works.
I am not a code monkey, not even really a web person. I am doing this for a friend, so I can't understand really complicated answers. BUT, here's my problem: I want to make two layers disappear in my index page because they interfere with the pop-up menu of another layer. This, I can do. BUT, I want these layers to reappear when someone moves off the POP-UP, not the link. When I use the "behaviors" that come with Dreamweaver, they all relate only to the link, not the Pop-up menu, so as soon as a user moves down the pop-up menu and off the link, the two layers reappear.
Here is what I'm talking about, if that doesn't make too much sense:

Pop-up Menu not showing

I've tried everything I can think of to set an alarm in iCal but I can't get the pop-up menu to appear. I edit a new event, and click and double click and nothing. I don't have alarms turned off in the preferences.
Any help would be appreciated.

I answered my own question, sort of. I clicked the default alarm in the preferences. Either that did it, I simply didn't recognize the pop-up as what I was looking for, or some other weird thing happened. Anyway, I've gotten it working.
