Pop-up menus from images in DW CS3

I just started working with DW CS3. Didn't take long to
discover that the "show pop-up menu" behavior is gone. In it's
place we now have Spry. Correct me if I'm missing something here,
but it appears that there's no way to make Spry produce a pop-up
menu when the user mouses over a graphic. Spry appears to ONLY work
with text.
From poking around this forum I see mention of an extension
called Pop Menu Magic, but it costs $90 and it isn't clear if it
will work with Mac. Is there a free or less expensive way to
achieve what I'm attempting to do.

Spry Tabbed Panels and Pop Up Link from Image Hotspot

I've created an image map with Hotspot links to either send to another web page or to open a previously created Pop Up window with information.
I've imported my image, image map and Hotspots into a tab
The issue I'm having is when clicking on the hotspot (within the Spry tabbed panel), to open the pop up page; it doesn't work
If I select a Hotspot which sends users to another web page, that works ok.
Would appreciate it if someone else who has run into this and what your recommendation is for a fix.
thanks, R Silva

Hi,
Unable to post to a public server; however I've attached the files so the code can be reviewed.
thanks

How to edit DW 8 pop-up menus in DW CS5?

Hello,
Yes, I understand about Spry menu bar in CS5 and will use it in the future for creating new pop-up menus.
However, I have already created many pop-up menus using DW 8 for multiple web sites and standalone web pages - about 100 web pages total - for my employer.
Is it possible to edit these DW 8 pop-up menus from within DW CS5?
I did try the only instructions I found, which I thought were to choose ~ Deprecated from the Behaviors menu, and then choose the Pop-up menu. However, even when I have open a web page in CS5 containing an existing pop-up menu I created in DW 8, I do not see anything about Deprecated on the Behaviors menu.
I tried positioning my cursor on the URL and then also on a graphic item associated with the pop-up menu behavior I applied in DW 8 - still did not see "Deprecated" in the Behaviors menu or how to select it. (Please note that my pop-up menus do not involve Fireworks MX in any way; they were created directly in DW 8 by applying the pop-up menu JavaScript behavior.)
What am I missing? How do I select "Deprecated" in the Behaviors menu?
Is there some other way - or any way at all - I can edit my pop-up menus previously created in 100+ web pages ? I really do not have time to re-do all of these web pages using Spry.
Please advise. Thanks!

Hello, Thanks for the response. All of my web sites and standalone web pages are internal, behind the corporate firewall so I cannot provide you with links.
Recap: The pop-up menus I created in DW 8 work beautifully, seamlessly and were very easy to maintain in the earlier version of Dreamweaver. I have been using DW pop-up menus since 2004.
Goal: To update and edit these pop-up menus created in DW 8 - in DW CS5. Why? Because we have multiple websites and standalone web pages, 100+ web pages total, some with multiple pop-up menus on each page and it is not possible due to time limitations to re-code and re-develop all of these existing pages using the new Spry menu. We will use the Spry menu when we create new menus for new web pages in the future.
I have previously read here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7ae 9a.html that you choose ~ Deprecate from the Behaviors menu to update existing DW 8 pop-up menus in DW CS 5, but I do not have this option available to me - I do not see a "Deprecate" selection available when I select an existing DW 8 pop-up menu to edit in CS5. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? When I place my cursor on the pop-up menu items, and go to the Behaviors panel, I do not have a Deprecate option, and the pop-up menu actions are not available to select.
I am concerned that the only way it appears that I can edit the pop-up menus is to edit the HTML which is possible but messy, and defeats the reason for having DW in the first place. Otherwise, I guess we go back to using DW8 and don't use DW CS5 at all for our existing web pages. If that happens, management will certainly question "why did we pay $400 for a commercial license for a software product which does not allow us to edit our existing web pages?".
Here are two coding samples from my web pages with the links changed so that confidential information is non-identifiable:
Example 1
1. Link coding associated with the pop-up menu behavior (identifiable link information changed for this example):
<a href="examples1/index.html" name="link1" id="site-home" style="text-decoration:none" onmouseover="MM_showMenu(window.mm_menu_0112173011_0,152,-1,null,'link1')" onmouseout="MM_startTimeout();">Example link 1<img src="images/triangle-sm.gif" alt="pointer" width="5" height="6" style="margin-left:6px"/></a>
2. Associated coding in the <head> tag for this particular example:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="mm_menu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
3. Of course, we load the menus in the first line after the open <body> tag:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">mmLoadMenus();</script>
The "mm_menu.js" file itself is located in the self-same directory/folder as the web page, so it loads properly and the pop-up menus function as expected.
Example 2
1. Link coding associated with the pop-up menu behavior (identifiable link information changed for this example):
<a href="javascript:void(0)" name="link5" id="link1" onclick="MM_showMenu(window.mm_menu_0203084229_0,-115,-40,null,'link5')" onmouseout="MM_startTimeout();">Reports</a>
2. Associated coding in the <head> tag for this particular example:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javaScript">

</script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="mm_menu.js"></script>
3. Of course, we load the menus in the first line after the open <body> tag:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">mmLoadMenus();</script>
The "mm_menu.js" file itself is located in the self-same directory/folder as the web page, so it loads properly and the pop-up menus function as expected.
-------End Code and examples-------
Please advise. Thanks.

Problems with editing images from Lightroom to Photoshop CS3

I just installed Lightroom onto my new MacBook Pro and just installed a new version of Photoshop CS3. When I hit the "Edit image in Photoshop CS3" button in Lightroom it won't open Photoshop and therefore won't let me edit the image in CS3. Does anyone know what might be wrong? Any info would be helpful.

I'm running Lightroom and Photoshop CS3. "Edit image in Photoshop CS3" works fine for me. I'm on an iMac and had Lightroom installed first, only thing I noticed is it takes PS a little longer to open up.

Suddenly, pop-up menus began appearing when I press the cursor on the track-pad, which prevents me from opening a program or a file. I've had to wait and hope that a hand icon would appear when I track over the program or file. Is it a preference fix?

Suddenly, pop-up menus appear when I move my cursor over a file or a program to open it. Is there a preference setting that will fix this?

What do the menus say. Do they show system functions? Are they advertising. Do they happen with every program?
The preference to check is Universal Accesss:
See if any main options are turn on. The Keyboard tab is selected in the screen shot, Also select the Mouse & Trackpad tab and see if anything has been activated.
If that doesn't show the issue, I'm guessing your CONTROL key is stuck down.

Illustrator script to create symbols from images in folder

Create pop up menus

I am updating my website and have the home page complete...I
think. The other pages have not been updated yet because I am
trying to figure out the best way to create an easy to update
pop-up menu similar to what is currently on all the pages except
the Home page. It is a drop down menu and every time I add a new
category of images like "Antarctica" I have to update the menu on
EVERY page. Here is a link to the Main Gallery and all the pages
except the Home page has the pop-up menu which you see when you
mouse over the word "Gallery".
http://www.westlight.net/gallerynew.html
I would like to create a separate html frame/page that only
has the "Menu Bar" across the top of the page as seen on the Home
page.
http://www.westlight.net/index.html
On all the other pages I would like to have the drop down menu
appear as it current does but in a way that is MUCH easier to
update. I thought I could insert this html frame into all the other
pages and then I would only have to make changes to the one menu
page. I really do not understand much about the ins and outs of web
design.
The new menu bar on the Home page is a series of
images/buttons. I tried to create a pop-up menu using Dreamweaver 8
but it does not appear. Something to do with trying to create a
pop-up menu from an image? I hope that there is an easy way to do
this without having to drop $80.00 on software to create menus as I
obviously do not do this for a living. If I have to buy something
any recommendations would be great.
All suggestions are MUCH appreciated.

Avoid frames, Server side includes are a good way to go.
Determine what platform your host supports i.e. php or asp,
and all you will need is a separate file for your menu bar,
and a bit of code to call it on each 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.

How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys?

How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys an see at the same time the changes on the photo?
It worked under Windows, now I use OS 10.8 and have to apply a preset with a click or Return button but after that the pop-up menu close so I have to open it once again to change a preset. Please help. Thank you!

The filter panel is a shortcut for the content panel and it only effects the content of that window. So if you have a folder it will only see this as a folder and not with its content. (a Stack behaves about the same, being different in only counting the first file in the filter panel criteria but not what is in the stack itself)
You have a view work arounds, first is use menu view / show items from subfolders (this can take some time especially if you have not used caching before on this content) and this builds visible thumbs for all content and that can be used for filtering.
Or use the find command (Edit / find) and inhere specify the source and fill in the criteria include subfolders and this will give you the correct result.
When you create a smart collection the find command also pops up given you the same opportunity to get the results in a collection, but since a collection is only a bunch of aliases referring to the originals you might be a bit careful with editing and deleting.

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.

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
I have the following problem:
When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
·Photoshop CS3
·InDesign CS3
·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
·Printer profile: ISO Coated
How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
Thanks a lot!

RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

Why can I no longer open images with Photoshop CS3, running on Mac OS 10.4.11?

Why can I no longer open images with Photoshop CS3, running on Mac OS 10.4.11?

You may be able to drag and drop the icons from one toolbar onto another, you can then hide the toolbar that you no longer need. For details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

Cut/Paste from Word to Illustrator CS3 for Mac suddenly not working

This issue regards Illustrator CS3 for Mac on a Mac Pro with 6 GB.
Exactly one week ago I created a number of Illustrator files by cutting charts from a Word 2008 document and pasting them into an Illustrator document.
In the past I have dragged the images (or clip art) or simply used Control-C or even Control-X, but by whatever method I opted for, getting the image from Word to Illustrator CS3 has not been a problem.
Yesterday I got a new chart and a request to replace an old image - one that I had created last week on Tuesday by the Drag/Drop or Cut/Paste method.   For reasons I can't begin to imagine the process simply won't work now.
I also find that if I simply select text in a Word Document, hit Ctrl-C and then try a Ctrl-V in Illustrator I don't get to see my text pasted in - ONLY if I already have a text block open and the cursor in place will I get to see the text copied over into Illustrator. This is very strange and not at all how things have worked in the past - typically I would see the new Text Object just appear, and then I could move it to wherever I wanted.
I have opened up a number of old files that I know were created with copied text and also opened the associated Word files (earlier versions of Word) and again find that I can't copy text over, or even move images over - even though I clearly could do this before. I have also tried entirely new files - also with no success.
I was at an Apple one-to-one session this morning and they were more than mystified by this. I can Cut and Paste into Adobe Photoshop Elements, but I can't even cut and paste from Adobe Photoshop Elements into Illustrator CS3.   I can drag the Photoshop file (from the Finder window) into the Illustrator document and poof - get my image that way, but it's as an image only. If the base image in question is a vector image or something else having a plurality of elements, I can't then select the elements in Illustrator to change their color, delete them, or otherwise play with them.
I have brought up a word document on another Mac system that also has Illustrator CS3 and find that it too can't drag/drop cut/paste between the two applications.   At Apple, we did confirm that such ability is operational in the new Illustrator CS4, but none of their store systems still have CS3 to provide yet a third system to test.
I have deleted my Illustrator CS3 preferences, tried flushing the p-ram, and of course run fix and repair permissions - no dice.
My Mac systems update daily and there is nothing in the main update log that shows anything for Adobe or Office (nor do I think there should be). Adobe Update reports that everything is up to date, and I don't see a history file to know what might have changed in the last week.   Office also reports fully up to date and happy.
As I can cut and paste the images into an email for Mail and into Photoshop, I am fairly certain that it is NOT a Microsoft Office 2008 issue. The fact that another Mac with Illustrator CS3 also can't cut and paste suggests that is is really not something personal to my main system.
It is almost as if this is some clandestine "update" intended to encourage me to buy Illustrator CS4. Given that I bought Illustrator CS3 less than a year ago, I really am not eager to buy the new version.   The greeting on the Adobe Support page that CS3 is no longer the current version and therefore supported was most annoying.
I am really hoping that someone out there has an idea of what to try changing, removing and/or adjusting with respect to Adobe Illustrator CS3.

I tried the Select by Path option - can't believe I missed it - and found it made no difference.
I actually uninstalled and reinstalled the whole app. When I tried to simply re-install (can't remember it's exact phrase) it got part way through and then demanded another disk - but I only have one DVD with the application - the extra DVD is for tutorials and it didn't accept that one either. So I restarted that process and chose to completely uninstall. Then reinstalled - hey with only my one disk - gee, just like the first time.   And then it seemed to work.
I was not aware of the save as PDF option - but yes I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for Mac so that option is there - and it seems to work too.
There were of course a slue of updates, and I let them all proceed - but even with them all in place the system is fine and I can once again drag and drop / cut and paste things back and forth.   I just tried a text block and "The Quick Brown Fox" pasted in with a clipping mask about 10 times the size of the document, but other than that it was ok.
So I have things working again on my primary system.   Will try and figure out what's wrong with the other one - but a reinstall might be the easiest game there too.

How can i make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

How can I make a photo that is 10 x 6.6 to 10 x 8 without changing the image in Photoshop CS3?

I could be snarky and say change the image in a different version of Photoshop, but NO...
The only way to make a photo that is one size into another size is to change the image. You have a few choices about how to change it:
One way is to simply expand the height from 6.6 to 8 inches using Image>Canvas Size, using the default setting of having the image centered and leaving the background either black or white, your preference. This will add background color to the top and bottom of your image. This won't change the image itself, but it will change its surroundings.
Another way is to resize the image using Image>Image Size, entering the new dimensions after turning off the aspect ratio lock (resample on). This will stretch the image vertically, however, so it's probably not a good option.
Finally, you could resize the image using Image>Image Size, leaving the aspect ratio lock on and resample on, and increase the height from 6.6 to 8. This will have the secondary effect of enlarging the width from 10" to a greater width. Then you crop the resulting image back down to 10" width, which involves losing some edge areas of the image.

Beyond Pop-Up Menus

I recently generated a set of pulldown menus using
dreamweaver 8 behaviors. I am currently trying to modify them.
First I moved the onmouseover from the link to the table cell.
During onmousover I want the table cell to turn the same color as
the pulldown menu (similar to the pulldown menus on the adobe site
above).
Test Page
http://www.triodisplay.com/company/about2.php
I gave the cells ids and added some javascript. The first
link (catalog) works correctly while the others don't during
onMouseout.
Here is the javascript I created to change the color of the
cell.
quote:
function changeStyleById(id){
if (document.getElementById)
var nodeObj = document.getElementById(id)
nodeObj.style.background = '#333333';
function changeStyleBackById(id){
if (menuid != 0) {
var nodeObj = document.getElementById(id)
nodeObj.style.background = '#B2B2B2';
Here is the cell that calls the code.
quote:
<td align="left" id="1"
onMouseOver="MM_showMenu(window.mm_menu_0425152551_0,-2,9,null,'image1',
'2')" onMouseOut="MM_startTimeout('1');"> <a href="
http://www.triodisplay.com/ps/ps.php"
class="topnav"> <img src="testbutton/blank.gif" alt="design"
name="image1" width="1" height="1" border="0" id="image1">Retail
Design</a></td>
Here is a link to the javascript
http://www.triodisplay.com/company/mm_menu.js
The problem I am having is onMouseOut="MM_startTimeout('1') .
MM_startTimeout calls a function and I've inserted a variable for
it to pass which is equal to the id. The problem is the mm_menu.js
is a list of functions and I can't figure out how to get my
variable to my new function.
I am looking for either an easy way to pass the variable or
if someone has a suggestions to change the color of the cell with
the pulldown menus I'd appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Bad choice. So was your selection of the DW pop-up menus.
Here's what the
person who adapted that code for Macromedia has to say about
the method you
are using -

Could you possibly consider one of the several other REALLY
GOOD ways to do
this? By the way, these good ways would allow you to do what
you want
easily....
