Uploading to a specific catagory using drop down menus from a form

Hi
I am creating a kind of business directory that displays
information about different kinds of bussinesses on different pages
in different catagories ( a basic index /home page with links to
different kinds of bussinesses..... bars, cafes, restaurants etc)
I want to populate these links with information and pictures
from one form
I can already create most of what I need to get this working
but......
I cant figure out how to dirrect / upload the information in
a form to one specific page ( say I am inserting info about a cafe
and I want the info to go to only the cafe page )
I would like to have a dropdown menu in my form that lists
all the different catagories in my site (say bars, cafes,
restaurants ect)and when I choose the a catagory from the menu ,
say I choose 'cafe'. When I submit the form I would like the info
to only go to the 'cafe' page in my site that displays all the
information about cafes.
Is that possible?
How do I go about it?
thanks for reading my post and I hope someone has the answer
any help would be great
(hope I can answer some other peoples questions asap)
Have a nice day

Problems using drop down menus in safari v7

I am having problems using drop down menus in safari v7. e.g. on the BMW used cars website (http://usedcars.bmw.co.uk), there's a drop down box for location. This only goes up to 50 miles on my macbook but goes up to national on my iPad. Any ideas?

Thanks Peter, Dale. Looks like it is back to the drawing board for me then!
I tried to import it through MS Word but iPad doesn't support the document. Looking into converting document into a Numbers spreadsheet as it has drop down boxes but unfortunately need to buy the £6.99 numbers app for iPad to make it worthwhile. Might just stick to good old fashioned "cross out the answers that don't apply" using pen and paper..................

Does anybody know why I am unable to use drop-down menus on my mac?

I dont know if its a mac book problem or just me, but I can't get any drop-down menus to work? When I click on the arrow nothing happens! Can anyone help as I am unable to log out of email, facebook etc.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Firefox locks up when right-clicking and using drop-down menus

I've experienced this problem with earlier versions of Firefox as well - sometimes when right clicking (like opening up a new link) or using a drop-down menu (like in Gmail) Firefox completely locks up and I need to control all delete shut it down and restart it manually.
Any ideas?

Safari 7.1 creates problems with drop down menus from some sites

I blindly install Apple updates, but with Safari 7.1 I run into problems with the drop down menu of www.arcweb.com. As this is my main client it is a big problem. Any suggestions or solutions?
thanks

Empty Caches.
1. Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
2. Quit Safari if open.
    Option click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
    Select "Library" and then "Caches".
    Look for the folder 'com.apple.Safari"
    Right click "com.apple.Safari" and select "Move to Trash"

Drop down menus in CS4

To be specific, would these drop down menus on this page
http://www.flashden.net/category/flash/menus-buttons/horizontal-menus
work in CS4?
Cam Flash CS4 create drop down menus without getting into
scripting? If so, is it like DW? Want to do a site like this
http://www.theswag.com/about.htm
Thanks.

No it can't.
It's just like regular flash with the ability to design every
single element from scratch,
it is not Power Point ;)
The new features are more for Time line oriented design but
nothing too major. I have been
playing for a while and with all honesty, because I don't
code in AS 3.0, I don't find it useful
and I move back to Flash 8 Pro.

Right-click, drop-down menus in Firefox 15 cause entire Mac OS 10.7.4 system to hang, forcing manual reboot.

I bought a new MacBook Pro.
I am running Mac OS 10.7.4 with Firefox 15. Every time I right click or try to use a drop-down menu in Firefox, it causes the entire system to hang, forcing a manual reboot.
No crash reports are available as the Firefox does not actually crash.
I have tried
1.) Starting Firefox in safe mode
2.) Disabling all the add-ons
3.) Resetting Firefox
4.) Removing and re-installing Firefox
5.) Disabling hardware acceleration
The problem still occurs.
This is critical a critical issue as I have been using Firefox's Zotero plugin to write my PhD dissertation which is about 50% complete and now I cannot use Firefox or the Zotero plugin and have about 800 references I do not want to have to manually re-enter!! Also it is preventing me from continuing work on the dissertation as I am unable to insert references, and I have submit this thing by March!!!!

Ok, further developments. Still can't get Firefox to work; it makes Lion hang and I have to force a reboot. I tried using terminal to open FF's profile manager, delete my old profile and make a new one. Same problem.
I tried making a new user account in Mac OS, and doing another fresh install of Firefox. It worked! I was able to use drop down menus and right click without crashing the system!
However, as soon as I installed the Zotero plugin... the same issue started occurring again.
Dear programmers, please help me. It will literally take me weeks of work to re-do all of my citations using a different software or manually. There must be a way to fix this problem!

Is there a way to create drop down menus in IWeb

I want to have drop down menus from the main ones on my website.
How do I do that?

This is the code I use in the html snipet
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
<select name="list" size="1" onChange="window.top.location=getSelect(this)">
<option value="#">Select A Year</option>
<option value="http://web.mac.com/gartside1104/Photoyears/1960.html">1960</option>
<option value="http://web.mac.com/gartside1104/Photoyears/2008.html">2008</option>
</select>
Obviously you'll need to change certain parameters for your own use.

Cs 5.5 Drop down menus

So i am very new to this and was recently informed that spry is dead, discontined, 86'ed, curtains, DEAD. So i was forwarded to some very cool tutorials about making 100% CSS drop down menus from scratch. Easy right? ummm no. i have set up the HTML structure for my drop down menu and have the categories i need, but i am not sure where to put them in the code. The sight shows different ways to set them up but i dont know how to navigate them or set them up. Can anyone write me a Drop Down Menu For Dummies?
The site was Line 25 and the tutorial was called HOW TO MAKE A PURE CSS DROP DOWN MENU

Drop down menus on iPad, the first selection in the drop down will not load as a selection when using safari, what can I do?

Drop down menus on iPad, the first selection in the drop down will not load as a selection when using safari, what can I do? I use this for my mobile, on-site auto repair business and not being able to call up repair and diagnostic info and reference for some cars is troublesome for sure. It works fine on the computer and I have installed a remote desktop app as a workaround but it is unreliable because the desktop is not business dedicated and may be off or in use at the time. So is there a known fix for this?
Let me paint a more descriptive picture, visualize 4 drop down selection menus, first one is for year, next one is for make, 3rd one is model and the last one is for engine size/type. If I wanted to choose a 2012 vehicle it wont work because it is the top selection on the list. This can be forced by selecting any other year and then coming back to 2012. Ok fine, but then let's say I wanted to choose Acura as the make, well it won't take it because again it's the top selection. Again you work around it be selecting any other make and coming back to Acura. Ok now select the model, same trend follows. But now since most Acura vehicles come with dedicated engines and no optional engines I have only 1 selection in that final drop down menu and it will not take my selection and therefore never let me proceed to the info I need.
This is also true when ordering parts from my wholesaler's website, they use drop downs and I can only get to that last drop down and then I'm stuck. This is blindingly frustrating, what options do I have. I'm not opposed to any avenue at this point.

Did you ever figure this out? I bought my iPad last week to use in my business as well. I assume you are trying to use alldata? That is where I noticed this same issue. I had problems with identifix working with safari but downloaded a different browser and that works fine. Alldata does not work with either browser. The main difference is that on identifix if there is only one engine selection, it automatically selects the only option and continues to the home page. With alldata you have to make the selection manually even if there is only one option. Honestly if I can't get this to work I am going to return the iPad as it looses a significant amount of usefulness to men

I am having some serious issues with firefox, i can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and I can't use any of the drop down menus on any site

I am having some serious issues with firefox to the point of choosing another search engine. I can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and won't let me change it to my printer when i do try to select my printer it jumps right back to fax. The drop down menus do not work on any of the sites I go to. For example when purchasing clothes and you have to choose a size from a drop down menu I can't do it when I click on the drop down menu it doesn't work at all. I don't have a virus I ran my virus protector and no viruses are present. I don't have any suspicious issues going on with my computer so there has to be something in Firefox that is causing my issues. I tried internet explorer and I don't have any issues there. I hope you can help me because I love Firefox and would really like to continue to use it.

Lots of issues there, main one getting fcpx going again, try deleting the preferences using the utility deveoped by these guys.

RE: Using Drop-Down List in Express Application

The easiest way to do this is to define a domain for Gender that maps to
a droplist widget. ForteExpress will then automatically display the
widget in any ArrayWindow or FormWindow in which Gender appears. (I
don't think outlinefields support this widget.) There is a documented
customization for adding SQL to the domain to automatically fill it, but
we've found this to be a performance drag. What we usually do is cache
this type of list information on the client, usually by loading it into
arrays of listelement in a service object at user logon. The list is
then ready to go whenever a window needs it, and you can set the element
list of the droplist in PostOpenInit or wherever it seems appropriate.

Subject: Using Drop-Down List in Express Application
On an Express generated Form window I want to use a drop-down list to
define the list of valid values for a database field. The underlying
database field could have a datatype of either integer or character.
For example, on the database we have a Gender column defined. I want to
use a drop-down list that displays descriptions of "Male" and "Female" for
allowed database values of "M" and "F". The Gender column is updateable on
the window.
Any suggestions on the best way to do this? Would we need to do anything
different on Array windows?

Using Javascript to require 2 drop down menus to have something selected

Hi everyone. I'm trying to get 2 drop down menus to each have something selected when the form is submitted. I'm using javascript for this, but I can't get it to work. Basically, if one is blank and the other one isn't, I want an error to pop up saying they have to fill in the one that is blank and vice versa. What am I doing wrong?

Eddie,
   I actually got this javascript below to work so if one drop down is left blank, and the other one is filled out, an error will pop up saying to entering either some initials or a rev. The only problem is that I have a dynamic list of drop downs in rows, so I need this javascript to run for each row. If I do the 1st row with 1 drop down selected and the other not, it gives me the error, which is perfect. But if I want the 2nd row to error out, for instance, doing the same thing, the error will not pop up. How do I make this work so it does this for each row since the list of drop downs is dynamic? My drop down menu names are Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Initials and Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Rev.
<script type="text/javascript">
                    function verify() {
                        var Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Initials = document.getElementById('Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Initials');
                        var Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Rev = document.getElementById('Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Rev');
                        if(Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Initials.selectedIndex == '' && Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Rev.selectedIndex != '') {
                            alert('select Initials!');
                            return false;
else if(Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Rev.selectedIndex == '' && Mfg_Spec_Prod_Approval_Initials.selectedIndex != '') {
                            alert('select a Rev!');
                            return false;

SAPGUI 7.20 patch level 7 crashes while working in ALV using drop downs

We have a set of users that work mostly in ALV transactions and can have a few open at the same time. They also use the drop downs quite frequently switching back and forth between ALV's. After working like this for awhile SAPGUI crahses.
Unfortunately we have not been able to re-create this issue so I have not entered an OSS message. The only constant is using ALV & drop downs.
We have done the following:
Patched the GUI - no help
upgraded pc's - These user received new pc's with higher memory & Windows 7 this helped slow down the amount of crashes occurring but did not eliminate them.
We have monitored the memory on the pc & that does not seem to be the issue.
Searched OSS, Google & SDN
They are using the Signature View and IE 8 .
Has anyone else experienced these issues or maybe have some suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks,
Diane Szmurlo

Thanks for the response Jude.
I cannot say that all ALV users are affected or at least they are not reporting it. This particular group of users mainly works in ALV & with very large amount of data loaded into the ALV.
I watched the user this morning. She is filling in data using drop downs & ctrl C and ctrl V, just s few fields at a time. There was a note about copying large amount of data in ALV but that has been fixed & we have that patch.
I ran the nwcheckworkstation and it came back ok.
I wanted to trace the GUI but we cannot recreate the issue. So the trace would have to be running for sometime before the user crashes which is not even a guarantee and I am not too sure that is a good idea since traces usually produce large files. Also not too sure which GUI component to trace.
