Using a drop down menu as navigation

Good morning all!
I have been struggling with making a drop down menu work as navigation for a while and finally need to reach out to all you brilliant people on this forum. 
I currently have a drop down menu with three items(Nav1, Nav, 2, Nav3) corresponding to three pages(Screen1, Screen2, Screen3). When I first created the menu it seemed I could only use the OnChange option to use navigation with the menu because, when using
the OnSelect I only get these options:
If(Datasource!Selected!Title
/// and ///
If(Datasource!Selected!Value
If I use the first option the title listed on my data source doesn't work, I get the red squiggly line. If I use the second option (Value) I have no value listed in my data source. 
Therefore I used the OnChange option, I can get the menu to navigate to the first page, however I realized that this option chances to one single page no matter what the menu option changes to.
Does anyone know how to make a drop down into a fully functioning navigation menu?
The other issue I ran into was resetting the drop down to the first list item upson returning to the screen however,   ptr.chovan,
offered this working solution:
set a variable in screen1 property OnVisible
UpdateContext({active: true})
and in screen1 property OnHidden
UpdateContext({active: false})
Then in dropdown visual add this in Items
If(active=true, .... your data source here ...)
Or perhaps easiest way is instead of resetting datasource of dropdown, you can reset  dropdown default by adding this into Default property
of dropdown
If(active=true, "Screen1")

If your Items in dropdown1 are
["Nav1", "Nav2", "Nav3"]
Then use OnChange property of the dropdown1
If(Dropdown1!Selected!Value="Nav1", Navigate(Screen2,""), Dropdown1!Selected!Value="Nav2", Navigate(Screen3,""), Dropdown1!Selected!Value="Nav3", Navigate(Screen4,""))
Does the other solution of resetting dropdown helped you?

  • While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

    While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again.  Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
    Thanks

    I haven't been unify photoshop much in the past month, but I did try your suggestion and it seemed to work for a while. Today when i went to save a document the same thing happened: click on file>save at this point I can not click on save even though it is highlighted. Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.

  • Adobe Form... Is there a way to use a drop down menu to highlight or note other fields...

    I am working on a simple Adobe form.  I am currently trying to figure out if there is a way to use the answers of a drop down menu to either mark, note or highlight 14 other fields.  There are 9 possibilities in the drop down menu, include a blank and NONE.
    For example if the drop down menu is set to 1, then field 9, 10 and 14 are marked, noted or highlighted. 
    Is this possible with a script?
    Thank you in advance for any help! 

    Have you looked at the properties that are available to form fields. I would look at setting the fill color or border color for a form field. Either of these can be done with Acrobat JavaScript.

  • Simple drop down menu (not navigational)

    Hello all.
    I must admit that I'm more versed in Flash than I am in
    Dreamweaver unfortunately. I'm building a website as of right now,
    and I have a drop down menu. I need for this drop down menu to link
    to other pages when a menu item is selected and the go button
    (positioned next to the menu) is pressed (much like the drop down
    menus on this site). Will someone please walk me through how to go
    about doing something like this? I hope it's quick and easy.
    Thanks!

    Use DW's Jump menu. Or get the JumpMenuMagic extension from

  • Drop Down menu for navigation bar

    I created a site a couple years ago (with GoLive) with a
    navigation bar with rollover states. I would like to create
    something very similar to it now in Dreamweaver CS3 but with the
    addition of a drop down menu for just a couple of the navigation
    icons. I have been told by Adobe tech support on the phone that I
    need some custom coding to do this.
    To see what the navigation bar looks like now go to
    www.aimeeastvillage.com
    I DON"T need the drop down choices to be in a whimsical font.
    I just don't want to have to direrct the reader to go to an
    additional page. PLEASE tell me this is possible for a relative
    beginner! Thanks.

  • Presence problem when using a drop-down menu

    I am trying to show/hide a table when a choice is made from a drop-down menu. It doesn't work until I make the same choice twice, then I get the expected result. The script is under Change and I have used it before successfully, albeit it has typically been using a check box. Is there an easy fix hopefully for this problem? Code below:
    if 
    (this.rawValue == 2){
    form1.Page1.OrderSection.OrderItems.Blower.presence
    = "visible";}
    else
    form1.Page1.OrderSection.OrderItems.Blower.presence
    = "hidden";}
    Thanks

    Drop-down lists work a little differently than expected; in the Change event the rawValue contains the previously selected text.  That's why it works the second time.  The current selection is contained in: xfa.event.newText

  • Using a "drop down menu"

    I would like to create a "drop down menu" so that the user can select from a list of options and based upon their selection, the rest of the Labview program will run with the option-specific parameters. Is there a way to do this using the "prompt user for input" icon, or...

    In LabVIEW 8.x, a popup menu can be associated with any controls/indicators. Just right click on control and go to Advanced...as shown below. You'll have access to a configuration window. The Run-Time shortcut menu is managed using the event structure.

  • How do I select a range of values in MySQL using a drop down menu

    Hi,
    I have a database of picture frames that have a value of
    frame width. I want to be able to select a range of values (i.e.
    .50" to 1") instead of each and every value (i.e. .50", .56", .76",
    etc.). I have a drop down menu (mnuWidth) with 5 ranges (see
    attached code).
    Each selection has a value from 1 to 5 indicating the range I
    want to search. In my results page I have let DW set up a recordset
    (see attached code)
    Can anyone tell me how to get this to choose a range instead
    of just the value entered by my menu?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have been growing fond of lookup tables. Your lookup table would have your numbers in one column and the values you want returned in the next.
    Lookup table
    item
    Name
    1
    a
    2
    b
    3
    c
    4
    d
    5
    e
    6
    f
    7
    g
    8
    h
    9
    i
    Input table
    input
    Name
    1
    a
    B2 and copied down:
    LOOKUP(A2,lookup::$A$2:$A$11,lookup::$B$2:$B$11)
    Caution: Lookup will return the closest value so it it looks for "10" in this example it will return "i"
    If you don't want to see the error messages from blank inputs, wrap Lookup in IFERROR.
    hope this helps

  • Drop down menu in Navigation Toolbar that lists frequently visited websites does not work.

    When I click on the down arrow, the address already in the address box is highlighted. A list of up to 10 often visited websites would open up before. I have disabled Hardware acceleration and reinstalled Firefox 21.0.0 with no luck from either. I can go to Bookmarks/bookmarks toolbar/Most visited and see a list there, but would prefer to use the drop down arrow that I used to be able to use. Thanks

    Do you want to see a list of recently used URLs? See
    [[Awesome Bar - Find your bookmarks, history and tabs when you type in the address bar]]
    this can come handy too:

  • I cant use the drop down menu's of photbucket anymore eversinds I installled firefox 7, how do I solve this ??

    I only use photobucket so I can post photo's on forums, the way to do this is by using the dropdown menu's below the photo's I have uploaded to photo bucket .
    I have installed firefox 7 as my browser today and now those menus dont work any more how do I solve this problem?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How do you use a drop down menu to populate other fields?

    I am creating a PDF that upon choosing from a list of People their address, phone, etc will automatically come in the remaining fields, or if a new person is choosen than you can add names address phone and it will save for future referrence ?
    Any help would be appreciated,
    THank you

    Thanks for your comment.
    Try doing this:
    Connect the form to a database and bind the fields in the form to the associated nodes in the data source so the data values automatically appear in the bound fields when a name is selected in the list.
    Add scripting to the list of names so the associated fields for address and phone number appear only when the user enters a new name and needs the other fields to enter new data.
    If that doesn't work, please provide more information about what you are trying to do. For example, here are a few questions to consider:
    Q. What object are you using for the list?
    Q. You say you want to be able to choose a person from a list of People, and their address, phone, etc automatically appears in the remaining fields address and phone number. What do you mean by etc. That is, exactly what objects are you planning to use for the other fields, and how many fields are there in total?
    Q. Is your form connected to a data base, which can supply the data values for the address and phone number fields.
    Q. What do you mean by 'a new person is chosen'. Normally the options on a list are pre-determined and added when you create the form. Do you want users to be able to add a new name to the list, and then enter that person's address and phone number in some adjacent fields?

  • Problems with flash transparent drop down menu over html in some browsers

    Hi everyone... this is my first post and it's about an issue
    that's causing me a few problems.
    I'm currently designing/ building my company's web site, the
    test page be viewed here: www.musflashtv.com/test.htm
    1) This layout contains an embeded flash movie (.swf) with a
    transparent background, this is the main navigation.
    The flash navigation has a drop down menu that animates down
    and covers the html page (containing links) below.
    The problem is that in most current browsers such as; Firefox
    2.0.05 (links below template don't work), Netscape 8.1.3
    (navigation drop down and links don't work) and Opera 9.10 (links
    below template don't work), any links just below the 'invisible'
    transparent area coverd by the navigation can't be clicked 'through
    the flash file'. The exception is IE 7.0, everything is fine there.
    (it hasn't been tested in any mac browsers though).
    Because the area below the navigation on
    www.kitachi.info/work is one large dummy jpeg file, the link below
    would be a much better example to look at.
    http://www.musflashtv.com/shows/ind...tlight-Sessions
    The flash navigation is embedded in the html (tlp) template
    file using the code below and aligned using an external style
    (.css) sheet, this html code not only embeds the flash movie but it
    also tells the browser to display it's background and as
    transparent. The flash movie is embedded in a layer that sits above
    the table.
    3) The flash embed code:
    <object
    classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
    name="shows-navigation-tranparent" width="851" height="300"
    align="top" class="flash-navigation"
    id="shows-navigation-tranparent">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    <param name="movie"
    value="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
    <param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />
    <embed src="flash/navigation-tranparent.swf" width="851"
    height="300" align="top" quality="high" wmode="transparent"
    bgcolor="#000000" name="navigation-tranparent"
    allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    pluginspage="
    http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
    scale="exactfit" />
    </object>
    Does anybody know of any code that can solve this problem or
    know a different way of creating a flash navigation with a drop
    menu that can be embeded over html?
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated especially as
    this issue is holding back progress in a big way.
    Thanks in advance guys!

  • Nav bars rollover stops working when there is a drop down menu

    I am making a navigation bar bar that has about 5 links on it
    all with rollovers. Their is one rollover that uses a drop down
    menu. That rollover doesn't give me a rollover just a drop down. I
    want to have both happen.
    Also does anyone know how to keep the rollover in the down
    state? I want to make it easy for the user to know where they are
    in the site by just glancing at the nav bar.

    Add a swap image behavior to the button you want to rollover.

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.
