"Show" Pop up menu at bottom of page
A modest request...
right now I have the little pop-up menu at the bottom of my Illustrator window set to show me the phase of the moon, which is right now the most useful of the options for my workflow.
But, what I'd really like it to show is the name of the file I'm working on.
I like to maximize my image real-estate ('f' key x3) but one of the things that gets lost is the title bar of the file. I'm often working with a bunch of very similar files, six or seven instances based on the same template, and I want to be able to see exactly which file I'm working on at a glance, without having to go to a menu, or hit 'save as' then cancel, just to know which file I'm working on.
Believe me, for what I am doing, this would save me some time.
>I'd like:
File Size
Document Color Mode (not profile)
Total anchor points
Number of objects
selected objects color value
File Size: I hardly find that relevant. Large image increase file size, until the size causes a save delay, then I turn off PDF compatibility. Size of file is about the least signifact piece of information for me.
Document Color Mode: That rarely changes for me. I'll start a file in the appropriate mode and leave it there. As I'm familiar with the job, I don't need to check that.
Total anchore points: In selection, useful. In file, pointless.
Selected object's color value: Good idea. There are only five places to look that up now (but only one that can potentially show the full breakdown).
I agree with Beau that Filename would be a useful addition. Probably be easy to add. So, I give it a 1% chance of appearing in 14 or 15.
Which is not to say that other pieces of information are not worthy, just that they aren't to me.

I'm having trouble accessing the "show pop up menu" option in
the behaviors + palette. It's greyed out.
I am just trying to create a pop-up menu for some links.
Here's what I'm doing:
1. highlight the word that will be the link
2. type # in the link window (I've also tried to insert a url
here)
3. I've tried selecting the link word or selecting the
reference to it at the bottom of the DW page
4. Click on + in the behaviors palette
Thank youIf your new template is using the DW popup menu you will not
be able to
update the links as Gary already mentioned. The reason for
this is that all
the links for your popups are in an external javascript
file... when it
comes time for a child page to be updated, it cannot read the
links in the
js file and does not update your pages.... this is *one* of
the reasons why
this pop menu system is not highly thought on this forum....

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) -

Those menus are a plague.

Where is the "show pop-up" menu in iTunes 12?
Instructions on "Import items from other libraries using home sharing" are clear enough, and also appear to be wrong. There is no "show pop-up menu" option in V 12. This makes it impossible to add music or videos from another library.
did you not have an answer to this yet? its march now. whats that all about? I have the same problem, did you sort it out yourself?

I'm using Dreamweaver's Show Pop-Up Menu Behavior. I have a
sample drop down of 3 links. I'd like to give each of the drop down
cell's a unique rollover color. Can this be done somehow? If so,
what javascript do I have to edit?The menus are notoriously bad. I'll even say they are
famously bad. You
wouldn't want to use them ever. Here's why, and some
alternative

What happened to 'Show Pop-Up Menu' in Dreamweaver CS6?
I've been using Dreamweaver for several years now and through several different versions. In Dreamweaver 8, under Behaviors, I had 'Show Pop-Up Menu' as a way to create attractive menus. Now in CS6, it is gone. Is there a way to get it back or at least an alternate way of adding pop-up menus?
The menus that were part of the older version of DW using javascript have been deprecated. In addition, the CS6 Spry feature has also been deprecated. As a result you are left with a few options.
Option 1 - Get an addon from the exchange (Adobe Add-ons ) or from third party sources like PVII ( Projectseven.com - Products ).
Option 2 - Consider a framework or CMS that comes with a drop down menu code or UI admin option to maintain the menu.
Given that you still have a menu on your website, for the time being, you should be able to edit the code to maintain the menu, but moving forward I would definitely seek out an alternative solution. -

Strange Problem with 'Show Pop Up Menu"
Hello - I'm hoping someone can help me. I am using a template
to create multiple pages for a video library. The first two
templates worked like a charm. The third and fourth are giving us
trouble.
We essentially create drop down menu navigation for these
pages via the template. There are many menu items in the drop down.
Dreamweaver is now not saving our work as we update the pop

Manual menu shows two active menu items on one page
Hi--I'm having an issue where a manually-created menu shows two active menu items on the same page (as if two pages were active at the same time).
You can see the issue on my test site here:
http://teknationnewsite.businesscatalyst.com/telecommunications-services.html
On the left hand menu, even though only the Telecommunications Services page is active, the menu shows an active state for the menu item below it also. How can I fix this? The states look like they are created correctly in the states panel.
Thanks,
JenniferOkay, never mind. I am an idiot. It was a linking issue. I can't figure out how to delete this thread, however, so just please ignore.

I have been doing surveys for a long time online. I just got Windows 8 a couple of weeks ago. This week while on Pinecone Research and Valued Opinions I had pop ups that appeared at the bottom of the page and covered up the next button so you could not continue the survey. I had to go back to the email and and click it to restart the survey and then go question by question to get where I was at. I cannot click these pop up off the screen, there is no x anywhere. They come on with each question I do of the survey. It is taking forever to finish a survey having to start over with each question. It is a real pain. How do I stop these pop ups from coming on while doing surveys? this is a new computer and I have never had a problem like this before. Is this something to do with Windows 8?
