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.

"Open with" pop-up menu application list editing

I have installed Adobe Photoshop CS2 on my iBook G4. When opening .jpg or other file with "Open with" pop-up menu there is alot of applications which gives only a long list for me. How to edit this list.

PDF with pop-up menu to change page

Can I create a PDF in Pro that has a pop-up menu (or other simple selection method) that allows user to select an item in list which will change the displayed page?

You'll probably want to use something like this.pageNum = 5; etc., and have all that embedded in an if conditional (or a switch conditional, which is probably what I'd use).
A good place to get started with JavaScript is here, although you'll have to look here for the PDF specific stuff (navigate to the JavaScript API).
The basic idea is that you create a variable for your button (that's the var cRtn stuff), and the value of the variable is updated depending on the user's action. So, if user chooses a popup menu item named Section 1, the value of cRtn becomes Section 1, and you can then add something like
if (cRtn = "Section 1") this.pageNum = 5;
Which would send the user to page 5 if they select Section 1 from the popup menu.
Hope that doesn't sound too cryptic!

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:
http://www.animalcrackerspetsupply.com/Index1.html
Thank you for reading this and, please, Adobe people, can you make it simpler to get into the forum?

Retain button over state with Pop-up Menu

Hi,
I am trying to work out how to retain button over state while
scrolling over a pop-up menu. By default the button changes back to
mouse out state, when scrolling over menu items for that button.
I have tried to follow the advice in the below technote (see
link below), but it seems the instructions are incorrect.
I am using Fireworks 8 - it appears the instructions are for
a prior version. I cannot find function fwLoadMenus() mentioned in
Step 3 (number 6.).
Has anyone accomplished this in Fireworks 8, that could
provide me with instructions?
Thanks in advance,
turpya.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_15926

I just wouldn't use those menus at all - there are much
better ways. Have
you considered them?

Problem with pop up menu created in fireworks

I have created a banner with buttons and added a pop up menu to them.
They work perfectly with-in Fireworks.
I then export page to dreamweaver and both banner and buttons display properly but I cannot get pop up menu to show at all.
I want to choose each menu and make the links with-in dreamweaver but cannot get pop up top show.
I am using CS5 and would appreciate your help.
AlSO I AM STILL LEARNING SO IF YOU COULD KEEP IT AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. I HAVE CREATED A QUICK BANNER WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THE ONE I WANT TO CREATE. THE LIST OF BUTTON ARE PLACED INTO MY BANNER AND I HAVE ADDED POP UP MENUS TO ALL WITH 3 CELLS DEEP DROPPING DOWNWARDS. WHEN I VIEW THESE IN PREVIEW IN A WEB BROWSER FROM FIREWORKS THEY WORK PERFECTLY. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THIS PAGE TO DREAM WEAVER AND HAVE IT DISPLAY THE POP UP MENUS. THEY WILL SHOW AS AN IMAGE AS IT IS SEEN HERE BUT WILL NOT DROP DOWN IN PREVIEW BROWSER IN DREAM WEAVER. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SELECT THE INDIVIDUAL LISTS IN THE DROP DOWN MENU AND CREATE LINKS TO VARIOUS PAGES WITH-IN MY SITE IN DREAM WEAVER. IT MAY BE THE CASE THAT I AM NOT EXPORTING IT PROPERLY OR SAVING IT CORRECTLY.

Need help with pop-up menu and applied Rules

I'm working on a spreadsheet that calculates my profit and losses. I drive a big rig so it needs to keep track of a lot of variables so I know if I'm going to make money on a run or lose money.
I get fuel discounts of various amounts depending on which vendor I fuel at.
I went to a section of the sheet and did a pop-up menu that contains the vendor names.
In the trip section I have cost of fuel per gallon, gallons purchased, total fuel cost, cost minus fuel surcharge.
What I would like to do is apply a rule to cost per gallon box (H7) that takes a variable from the pop-up menu (B40).
So if H7 has $2.58 entered as a cost and B40 has pilot selected then $0.050 will automatically be deducted from the $2.58. This way I will have a history of where I fuel, the deduction is made automatically, and I have a history of fuel prices in a certain region.
If anyone looks at this and sees a simpler way of figuring this calculation please make the suggestion. I want to keep this sheet as small and hassle free as possible.
I have 3 fuel stops per trip with totals that are connected to other areas. Once I get all of this done I will be adding a chart for easy comparison and long range simple tracking to see where improvements can be made and costs are going.
Thanks in advance all help will be appreciated.
Message was edited by: Hwoodwriter for clarification.

The IF Lookup table worked. Did a little modification by placing the table in another part of the chart then hiding that part.
I tried doing the discount as a negative but got a negative total which had a negative affect on my total trip income.
Here is how it works in it's final version.
Gallons on board minus gallons required for trip.
Cost per gallon (retail) multiplied by gallons purchased.
Fuel cost equals (Gallons purchased multiplied by Retail gallon price) minus ("IfLookup" multiplied by Gallons purchased)
Fuel Cost Minus Fuel Surcharge (the actual price I pay, which includes all my savings) equals (Retail Gallon Cost minus Fuel Surcharge minus "IfLookup") multiplied by Gallons Purchased.
Some of my trips take up to 3 fuel stops. So this helps me keep track of each fuel stop and all savings per trip.
I now have where I fueled, the retail price, with discount and surcharge applied. A few keystrokes and I know if a trip is going to be profitable or a loss for me.
Thank you for the help. I now have what I need at my fingertips to make my job more effective.
Thanks again.

Help with pop-up menu

Im haveing a hard time figuring out how to make a pop-up mene i created work correctly. I what to have a pop-up menu that will let you select a type of item, and return the items associate cost in the adjacent cell.
Exaple:
select option 1-3 in cell "A" and return values x,y & z in cell "B".
I figured out how to create the pop-up in cell "a" but cant seam to fugure out how to give each of the options a seperate value that appears in "b".

Assuming the pop up is in B1:
you could enter the following formula in C1:
=IF(B1=1, "A", IF(B1=2, "B", IF(B1=3, "C", "")))
This will result in the following:
B1 = 1, C1 will return "A"
B1 = 2, C1 will return "B"
B1 = 3, C1 will return "C"
This method is ok for a small translation set. Much larger and it is hard to change and update. So the next method is to recognize if there is a pattern. If there is no pattern then you can make a translation table:
In this case you look up the value "3" in the Data table (column 1) and return the corresponding value from a different cell in the same row (column 2):
B3=VLOOKUP(A1, Data :: A:B, 2, 0)
I hope this helps,
Wayne

Need help with pop-up menu please!

So I have an older version of Dreamweaver.
I want to apply a drop-down menu or pop-up menu whatever to
words, but so far I don't think I can do that.
I've decided to apply it to a picture instead, and I've done
this successfuly before.
I select the picture, then go to behaviors and select "show
pop-up menu", fill in the info and say OK, but I then get this
message that goes something like "while applying behaviors action
javascript failed" and "ReferenceError:imgName isNot defined" or
whatever and it won't let me add it.
I've restarted the program and even my computer but it won't
go away.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

The pop-up menus are very troublesome. Nobody here would
recommend that you
use them.

Unordered list with pop out menu

I have an unordered list in a sidebar. After a user clicks on the link in the sidebar, I want a larger pop up window to appear with several links inside of that box that they can click on. What is the best way to do that?

http://css3menu.com/modern-css3-menu-bar.html
These are all CSS Menu's which can be modified to suit your requirements. If you are looking for a straight-forward drag, drop and play, your expectations may be a little too high. These take a simple list structure and style it. The modifications you would need to make would be in the CSS stylesheet.

Can someone expain me why this happen and how to solve this.
Thanks a lot.

Hi David,
What mouse event in the method jTreeDisk_popupMenu in which isPopupTrigger() is called - mousePressed, mouseReleased ?
Also note that "Popup menus are triggered differently on different systems"
Would you like to try calling the method in deferent mouse events to see if, when it returns true?

Pop-up menue created by Fireworks 8 does not work well in Dreamweaver 8

Hi there,
I have experienced some strange behaviour of Dreamweaver 8
with respect to am enuebar with pop-up-Menue-HTML created by
Fireworks 8. Having designed the pop-up menue in Fireworks 8 all
works fine if you view it through Firewoks. After having exported
the XHTML-Code for Dreamweaver in a file all continues to work fine
if you view it with IE 7.
When imported to Dreamweaver as Fireworks-HTML blue boxes
were shown around the bar and the pop-menue appears with blue boxes
around. Viewing this stuff by pressing F12 in Dreamweaver shows up
the page in the browser with the menue bar and all the submenues (I
cant stand it anymore). I tried a lot of things but I failed. Help
would be appreciated very much.

Have a read of this article - may convince you why it's not a

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 -
