When I am using Safari, I get a drop down menu with suggestions of "move to new window", etc. It is driving me crazy.

When I am in Safari, many time a drop down box will appear stating, "open in new window", "move to", etc. What is this and how can I stop it from happening?

That sounds like a Contextual Menu, and should only appear if you right-click or ctrl-click on something.
Does it ahppen in other applications too ?. If not, I'd start by disabling any Safari Extensions in Safari - Preferences - Extensions.

HT5610 How can You authorise your Windows Vista computer??? I do not get this drop down menu nowI cannot get this here, have been trying for hours, why is this so uncooperative? My first impression of I tunes is not so good after that.

How can you authorise your windows vista computer to play stuff you downloaded from itunes??? I cannot get this drop down menu shown on your support pages whatever I do. I have been trying for ages. This is not a good first impression.

Authorize a Mac or PC
Review the following before you authorize a computer:
You can authorize up to five computers with your Apple ID.
You must authorize your computer to download past purchases, use Home Sharing, or use the Automatic Downloads setting.
You can play unprotected music that's in the AAC file format without authorizing your computer. This includes iTunes Plus tracks and content from sources other than the iTunes Store, like your audio CDs.
To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
In some cases, iTunes may ask you to authorize the computer again. iTunes should use the same authorization as before if the computer is in your list of authorized computers.
Learn what to do if iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorize when you try to play your content.

Note : If you are Unable to see the Store Tab on your iTunes then click anywhere on your iTunes and press
Ctrl + B key on your keyboard once and you should be able to see the Store tab in your iTunes.

When i revert to ver 29 i get pull down menus for searching after download of automatic 33.3 I can't get the drop down menu. I've tried to block the update

when i use ver 29 i get past menu drop downs. when i get the automatic update to 33 or higher I can't get the pull down menu. I don't like to type in the search work every time I go to a web site. It should remember where I've been or at least let me keep ver 29 without automatic updating., I've tried to set the firewall not to update but it does it anyway. some firewall. Thanks if you can help this. I'll have to go to safe mode and revert to yesterday and download ver 29 again, I can do this everyday but that makes me not want to use firefox. I don't want to leave firefox. I like it. ! HELP?????

in firefox 33 the search field on the homepage will now populate by search suggestions provided by the search engine once you start typing -this is why the dropdown with your entries from history is no longer there unfortunately...

How do I get a drop-down menu to choose SMTP when composing an email in Apple Mail?

Apple Mail used to have a drop-down menu in the Composing Mail window to select the SMTP server to use. It is no longer there, in Yosemite (10.10.1). How do I get that back?

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. That's exactly what DW offers validation behaviors or Spry Validation for. Select the form element(s) required to validate, apply the behavior, set the options in the dialog. Done.

How can I get the drop down menu on the internet to work, which shows most visited websites? It was working on Firefox, and now doesn't.

On the internet when using Firefox, the drop down menu on recently visited sites (where you type in web addresses), does not work. How can I get it drop down and show websites that I recently visited, so I can click on them there instead of retyping them every time?

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing":
* Firefox (Tools) > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History, Bookmarks, History and Bookmarks
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How do I get a drop down menu to auto default to option selected a value other than the default written in the javascript?

I use web based software where I have to select from a drop down menu a particular option. However, I only ever use 1 option. Sometimes as much as 100 times a day. Is there anyway to get Firefox to auto select the same option every time? I don't have access to the source code so I cant change <option selected="selected" value="">.

A possibility would be a Greasemonkey script to do this automatically or a JavaScript bookmarklet to do it manually.
You would need to remove the selected="selected" from the currently selected option and set that attribute for the wanted option.
You can test the bookmarklet here:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element/select
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var d=document,s=d.getElementsByTagName('SELECT')[0],o=s.getElementsByTagName('OPTION'),S='selected',v='value1',i;for(i=0;O=o[i];i++){if(O.value==v){O.setAttribute(S,S);O.selected=true}else{O.removeAttribute(S);O.selected=false;}}})();</nowiki></pre>
If there are more 'selects' then you need to adjust the element number [0] and you also need to adjust the value of the wanted option.

When I select an option from the help drop down menu it just goes away. It does not go to the help option I chose.

When I select an option from from the help drop down menu it just goes away. It does not go to the query I selected by hitting the keypad.

I can't get the drop down menu in the search box in newest version.

I just updated to the latest version (35.0) and can't get drop down menu. I couldn't get it in the last version either. I've filled everything out in the change settings page but still can't figure out how to get my choices to show up. (Please keep answers simple--I'm not a computer geek but I can follow clear directions.)

I see it now. Thank you, Phillip. I read the help page before, but I think it would help if that page pointed out that the options you have selected will appear at the bottom of the list of suggestions after you type a search in the box. Also that would have been clearer if I did not select give suggestions. The key point for my understanding was that I had to type a search first in order to get the options to appear, which is the opposite of how it worked before. Definitely fix that help page to make that part clear. And thanks again, so much.

How do I get a Drop-down menu on back/forward button

How do I get the old (FF3) Drop-down menu on the back/forward button, so I can go back/forward more than 1 page at a time?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

How can i get a drop down menu or check list control

i want to give the user a choice between 7 options on the front panel. i want either a check list or drop down menu.thanks

You can use any of the ring controls to generate a drop down list. The ring controls are found on the Controls >> Ring & Enum palette. You program the drop down items the same way with any of these controls. Type the first drop down item on the control. Right click on the control and select "add item after". The controls text field will blank out and you can enter your second item. Repeat for every item on the list you need to generate. After you are done entering items, click on the control with the application tool and you will see a drop down menu of all the items you entered.

How to get my drop down menu to work

Hi,
I'm stuck in how to get my sub menu to drop down. Every time I hover, it looks all jumbled. My site is candidlovephotography.com. Thank you very much!

Have you created a drop-down menu on your page? I don't see it at all. Your menu code is this:
<nav id="mainnav">
   <ul>
   <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
   <li><a href="meetkristin.html">Meet Kristin</a></li>
   <li><a href="http://candidlovephotography.com/blog/">The Blog</a></li>
   <li><a href="http://wp.me/P4Gj7y-ak">Contact Me</a></li>
   <li><a href="Clients.html">Client Galleries</a></li>
   </ul>
   </nav>
This is just a plain/straight one line menu. It is not a drop-down menu.
I suggest read this article to get the background info about Menu system:

Elements 9 - text, font family - how can I get the drop down menu to work?

I can't change the text fonts in Elements 9. Most everything else seems to work except the font family drop down menu. When I click on the arrow, the menu drops but immediately dissappears. The font size drop down works but not the family menu. Help please.

I think it's usually a restriction of short displays on netbooks and laptops etc. You may have to live with it unless you can change display resolution via the control panel.

I have mac book pro with lion and constantly get a drop-down menu when clicking on a menu line

I am new to Apple software. I have a MacBook Pro using Lion. Question is I constantly get drop-down menus when I click on an item to initate an action, even as simple as clicking on the red x to close a page. Why??

Sounds like the right-click behavior is messed up. Check the Mouse or Trackpad preferences and see what it has for right-click.
Also, it could be that your contol key is stuck down or the keyboard is sending that command for some reason.

My start up tone doesn't work, trackpad and keyboard do not work consistently. I get a drop down menu when I try to click on something

Out of nowhere my keyboard locked, trackpad didn't work and start up chime stopped working. Then, I got drop down menus when I tried to click on something, and now my computer is working fine. In a while it will happen all over again. How can the keyboard work fine and then stop? Then be fine again. I am not technically inclined, so please help. I have a MacBook Air. Thanks

When I am using Safari, I get a drop down menu with suggestions of "move to new window", etc. It is driving me crazy.
