Pop-Up Menus and active content errors - Help!

I'm attempting to add pop-up menus to my navigation bar, to
make my site more user-friendly, but to no avail:
I've tried designing pop-up menus in Fireworks, then
importing the html code in, but that gives me errors when I try to
insert the bar. Then, I tried putting my menus in different layers,
with a "show layer" behavior on the button, and a "hide layer"
behavior attached to the roll-off of the layer, but my version of
Dreamweaver won't attach a behavior to a layer.
Then, I noticed the tech-note on this site for the fix to use
pop-ups in a template, so I added pop-up menus directly to my
navigational buttons using the wizard. So here's where my problem
comes in. . .
When I preview my page, it throws up an active content error,
but will still run. I uploaded it to my remote server, but when I
went to the url, no action takes place when I put my cursor over
it. Anybody have any ideas on how to create a pop-up menu that
won't throw up an active content error? I've seen them on plenty of
websites before, but can't figure how to do them.
Any light you could shed would be greatly appreciated!

Sometimes, they make your site less user-friendly. So be
careful.
The DW/FW pop-up menus are usually something that should be
avoided. They
are very poorly thought out and implemented, and will likely
cause you
continuing problems. It's foolish to devote the time to them
that could be
more effectively be placed elsewhere, especially since there
are better
options that work right out of the box, so to speak. Please
check the free
and commercial options here -

Don't use DW/FW pop-up menus.

Pop-up menus and frames

A web page with Fireworks 8 Javascript (not CSS) pop-up menus
imported into Dreamweaver 8 works fine on its own. However, if I
include the page in a frameset, the menus
appear to work OK (e.g. everything pops up and down when
expected, all the rollover transitions appear flawless, and the
pop-ups are well clear of the frame boundary), but when a popped up
menu item is selected,
nothing happens - the top-level menu items are the only ones
which still navigate to their links.
(I normally avoid using framesets, but the frameset in this
instance has a useful applications function and I would be loth to
remove it)

Hi Max:
Did you define a target for your pop-up menu links? See:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/studio/articles/fwmx_popup03.html
Also make sure that the paths in the links are valid URLs.
It would seem strange that nothing is happening. How do the
menus work
when you browse the Fireworks HTML directly outside the
frameset? This
might give us a clue as to what's happening.

DNS and Active Directory error 4000 server 2008

Hello all,
My network skills aren't very good and I'm facing a dilemma. First off we have two Windows servers on the network. The newest is 2008 Standard (named Vader) and the other is 2000 (dells3). Obviously I'd like to get rid of the 2000, but the people in charge
of my budget haven't given me the option to do so and it's the only back up we have.
Earlier in the week we had lots of problems. One of our nas boxes locked everyone out who was mapped to it and it would only let me log in through the web portal. Two of our Macs our marketing department uses suddenly locked up and wouldn't let them back
in (both were part of the Active Directory). A second nas box won't let certain people map to it and for awhile I had issues logging into Vader itself.
I believe all of these problems are connected to some issues on Vader and possibly in conduction with dells3. In Server Manager under DNS I get error 4000 "The DNS server was unable to open Active Directory.
This DNS server is configured to obtain and use information from the directory for this zone and is unable to load the zone without it. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly and reload the zone. The event data is the error code."
Then under Active Directory Domain Services I get error 2042 "It has been too long since this machine last replicated with the named source machine. The time between replications with this source has exceeded
the tombstone lifetime. Replication has been stopped with this source."
Followed by more text I can post if needed.
Under File Services error 1202 "The DFS Replication service failed to contact domain controller to access configuration information. Replication is stopped. The service will try again during the
next configuration polling cycle, which will occur in 60 minutes. This event can be caused by TCP/IP connectivity, firewall, Active Directory Domain Services, or DNS issues."
And finally if I try to open Active Directory Domains and Trusts "The configuration information describing this enterprise is not available. The server is not operational."
I'm not sure where to start or what to post that might help. Any and all help is appreciated.
Edit: Also I can only add dells3 as the DNS on Vader in the DNS Manager if I try to add Vader to itself I get an error.

It's the other way around. Overall, I'm advising ripping the 2008 server out of AD and adding it back . Let's look at this as a series of steps:
1.) You do a force demote of the 2008 server because it's tombstoned. This means the 2008 server is no longer a DC. You are doing a force because it doesn't have the ability to replicate. If it could replicate, we'd just do a graceful demotion
and be done with it.
2.) Once the 2008 server is demoted, we go to the 2000 server which holds the only good copy of AD. From that server we run a metadata cleanup using the ntdsutil utility. We use that utility to clean out references to the 2008 server which is
no longer a DC.
3.) Once you have a clean AD, you can then promote the 2008 server back into Active Directory. Make sure Vader is pointing to Dells3 as its primary DNS server before promoting or you'll run into issues.
Hopefully that clarifies things.

Why, when I open Firefox 4, do I keep having Firefox 3 pop up continually and having the error message "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." ?

Every time that I try to use Firefox 4, Firefox 3 pops up on the Dock and tries to start up. I get the error message "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." I click OK and the message goes away. Then it happens again. And again. It doesn't stop until I quit Firefox 4. I've tried creating a new profile (and deleting my old one) and deleting the .parentlock and the profile.ini file, but nothing works. Help me please!

Pop-up menus and Flash image

My development page has two things on it that are conflicting
with one another. I have a flash movie, and a pop-up menu. I would
like the menu to pop over top of the flash object, but quickly
learned that certain objects naturally float up to the top -
Thread
- But, the fix on this thread won't work for what I'm trying to do.
Is there any other way to get my menu pop over the movie? I
noticed the adobe main page has its menus overtop the flash movie,
so it must be possible, somehow. . . right?
Here's my
Test Page if it
helps to see what's going on. The pop-up in question is located at
"What We Do" -> "Programs"

The key is a special Flash parameter called WMODE, short for
Window Mode.
You'll need to add this parameter to your movie, set to
transparent. The
fastest way in Dreamweaver is to select your Flash movie and,
from the
Property inspector choose Parameters. In the dialog box that
opens, add
wmode in the Parameter column and transparent under Value.
That should do
the trick!
Best - Joe

Pop-Up Menus and Calculations

Hi all,
In my budget spreadsheet I am designing, I want to be able to denote the type of food each line item is in my "food" category. For example, I want to use a pop-up menu to indicate that the McDonald's I spent $5.66 on two days ago is a "Fast Food" type. After that, I want another cell to automatically detect that I selected that line item as a "Fast Food" type and then add whatever I spent in that line ($5.66) to any other line items that I designated as "Fast Food" types. Likewise, I want another cell to represent the total sum's of all my "Restaurant" and "Grocery" type food line items as well.
Thoughts on how to do this?
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
I would suggest a separate table for your summary statistics. In the second table, use the SUMIF function to add up all the expenses in specified categories.
For example let's say your expense log is in a table called "Expenses", your expense type is in column B, and your amount spent per transaction is in column C. The formula in your summary table for adding up all your "Fast Food" expenses in your Expenses table would be: =SUMIF(Expenses :: B, “Fast Food”, Expenses :: C). It makes no difference whether your expense type is from a pop-up menu or typed in directly.
Use the Numbers 08 Help function for assistance with the SUMIF function.

CiscoWorks and Parameterized templates ERROR - Help Joseph:-)

Hi,
I am using CiscoWorks RME 4.3.1 I am trying to use Parameterized templates as explained in this document:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_resource_manager_essentials/4.3/user/guide/netcfg.html
Here is my XML file located in the right place: NMSROOT\files\rme\netconfig\cmdFileson the CiscoWorks server:
<DEVICE NAME = 10.60.131.1>
<CMDPARAM NAME = ConfigFile>
<value>TST4CUPE10-Confg-PV.txt</value>
</CMDPARAM>
</DEVICE>
Then in RME I creat a user-defined task as the one you can see there:
Then I create a new job on a device with the parameterized file:
Actually if I put a tick in the Check Syntax I got the following error message:
I don't understand as the value is configured in the xml file as you can see above!
When the job is done I get a status: successful:
But the problem is that nothing has changed on the device cause of the following error:
configure replace bootflash:$ConfigFile force
Error: Could not open file bootflash:$ConfigFile for reading
Here is the result on the screen:
Does anyone knows what could cause this error?
Best regards,

Hi Joe,
I have a good news. It is working now after I changed the IP to the hostname as you suggested.
But it was not working even with the hostname because I had a “<” too much.
bootflash:TST4CUPE10-Confg-PV.txt<
So now the file look like that:
bootflash:TST4CUPE10-Confg-PV.txt
Thank you so much for your help! That is fantastic
Best Regards,
Laurent

Active Content W/ Rollover Buttons Help

I'm pretty new to web design, and I've been using dreamweaver
to create webpages. My problem is I have some rollover buttons I
made in fireworks and imported to dreamweaver as fireworks html,
and in IE7 I get the "activate active content" error. I installed
the dreamweaver 8.2 update, thinking that would fix it, but
although I can see that the extension to automatically change the
code so it'll work in IE in my preferences, the option to do so
never comes up. I read somewhere that it doesn't support image
tags, which I think mine are. So my question is: is there an easy
fix for this other than the update, or at least a fix for a
beginner who doesn't know javascript? I've googled to my heart's
content, and everything I've come across has been over my head.
Please someone help me with this. I can also post the code if
that'll help, just let me know. Thanks in advance!
Hiram

I'm not quite sure what the actual issue is here but several
things seem to
be confused.
My problem is I have some rollover buttons I made in
fireworks and
> imported to dreamweaver as fireworks html, and in IE7 I
get the "activate
> active content" error.
Buttons made in Fireworks and activated with Javascript are
not related to
the "activate active content" issue.
Do you have some Flash or other active content on your page
which is
triggering the "click to activate" which you're confusing
with your
Fireworks buttons?
I installed the dreamweaver 8.2 update, thinking that

I don't quite follow this part.
So my question is: is there an easy fix for this other than
the update, or
> at least a fix for a beginner who doesn't know

Web content driven by Javascript is not active content so I'm
not sure what
the issue is or what needs fixing.
Can you post a link to your page?

Working with pop up menus in Dreamweaver CS4

this is my first time working with pop up menus in CS4 (have built many in previous versions), Adobe says you cannot create the pop up menus due to the new Spry feature - but that you can alter existing menus using the Behaviours panel
I have just launched a new website using pop up menus - and there is a glitch when viewing the rollover/pop up menus: I see a question mark to the left of each image in the menu (the images themselves are working beautifully), does anyone know why?
view the website here:
http://www.kiwihouse.org.nz
I want to keep the pop up menu so am looking for a solution to eliminate the floating question mark
does it have anything to do with the multiple javascripts on each page?.. I have one for the menus, and one for the multiple fadeshow
any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
dQ

Not sure if this is the problem, don't have time to go through all your code - but putting the page through the validator bought up a lot of errors...
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kiwihouse.org.nz%2F
Look at the 3rd error message - it's to do with the way the script link has been written.
Lots of other errors that need fixing as well.
On another note, these pop up menus are not the best way to create menus these days, that's why the pop up menu feature was removed from the latest DW version.

Strange problem with Dreamweaver Pop-Up menus

Hello:
I have encountered a very strange problem with DreamWeaver
pop-up menus, and I was wondering if I could get some help from
this forum, as I can't seem to find an answer anywhere else.
The problem involves use of DreamWeaver's pop-up menu
behavior — all works as expected, and my local preview of the
Web page/site works fine, but when I upload the site to a server, I
see extra question mark and "box" characters added to my drop-down
menus. This problem is inconsistent between browsers: Sometimes I
see it only on IE, sometimes I also see it on Firefox.
For example, check out the following URLs:
http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/cci/
... this implementation of drop-down menus ("Services"
button, etc.) displays an extra "box" character for each of the
drop-down menu items, but this only occurs in IE -- Firefox is
fine.
http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/microtek/HTML/MicroTek_home.html
... this implementation of drop-down menus shows an extra
question mark above the triggering link onMouseOver for Firefox,
and in IE, it shows this "box" character for both the triggering
buttons and for each menu item.
For both of these sites, the pop-up menus work without a
problem *when I'm looking at a local version on my workstation*.
What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on here????
Any help for this problem is appreciated.
Note that I stripped out the JavaScript code for menu
information from the <head></head> area of each of
these pages and placed it in a linked JavaScript document.
HELP!

First, you need to read this, written by the person who
adapted that menu
code for Macromedia -
http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
Then you need to know that there are MUCH better ways to do
such things -
Check the uberlink and MacFly tutorials at PVII -
http://www.projectseven.com/
and the Navbar tutorial/articles at Thierry's place

Pop up menu and specific result in another cell

I have a cell with a pop up menu that displays the numbers 0-50 (in increments of 10 (0,10,20,30,40,50). I need another cell to display a specifice value once the pop up cell is chosen. How do i do this?

HI flacko,
Your best choice here is probably a lookup table containing the possible values of the popup in column A, and the desired result value in column B.
Here's an example.
I've added a "Choose" item to the pop-up menus ( "--" ) and made that the default value. The VLOOKUP function is included as the do-if-false part of an IF statement that keeps its cell 'blank' if a choice hasn't yet been made.
Main::B2: =IF(A="--","",VLOOKUP(A,Lookup :: $A:$B,2,FALSE))
The fourth argument of VLOOKUP ( FALSE ) makes VLOOKUP require an exact match, and isn't really necessary here, as every possible search value is included in column A of the Lookup table.
Regards,
Barry
