White and black dots in drop down menu?
In all of my drop down menus there are little black and white dots that 'glitter' around as I move my mouse through it. What is this, what is the cause, or just how do I fix it?
Is it only Preview that you are seeing this problem? If no, then it could be a hardware issue. Make a Genius appointment. Troubleshooting and analysis are a free service at the Genius Bar.

I am already running 10.9.3 so am not sure what good that would do
Running the combo updater often fixes odd issues. It's easy to do and certainly don't hurt.
MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.9.3 install from a regular update, just run the 10.9.3 Combo Updater on that system.
"Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

Internet Explorer 11 - Emulation Document Mode and User Agent String Drop Down Menu Blank
Hey
I have a user who has a problem with Internet Explorer 11 where when you go to emulation mode using F12, the Document Mode and User Agent String Drop Down Menu are both blank. On our internal website its works correctly but on all other external websites
they are both blank.
I have had a look at the link below but this did not help as it would not recreate some of the registry keys.

CharlieHi,
Please include links to any websites that you are having issues with your questions.
There are some known reasons why the documentMode dropdown appears blank...
not all websites though should have the conditions for this.
f12>Console tab, refresh the page to show suppressed error messages and warnings... (documentMode x-ua toggling is listed)...
IE11 includes improvements for XSS... to link to internet sites from your intranets you need to add those sites (If you really, really trust them) to the Trusted Sites list.
the developer console will list blocked xss requests.
by default IE11 runs in EPM.... in the Internet Zone, while it is not switched on for the intranet zone....
EPM only allows 64 bit Addons and ActiveX controls to run in the context of an IE tab...
so its highly likely that one of your Addons is causing the issue.
the first step in troubleshooting IE issues is to test in noAddons mode.
Regards.

I'm not quite sure what i have managed to turn on but everytime i click anything on my mac it gets a black box around it... I have no idea how to turn it off... can someone help me?
Also my restart, Log out and Shut down seem to be repeating themselves in my apple drop down menu... is the normal? I don't remember it before. I'm working on a Mac Pro using Mac OS X 10.4.7.
Any help would be much appreciated.Ahh thank you so much!
I don't know how I managed it but it was really annoying me and now its gone. Wonderful.
Thank you again. -
Input Masks and Single Choice Fields (drop down menu) Suggestions
Here's a few suggestions - I hope this is the right place to post these...
1. I would like to suggest a pre-filled state single choice field (drop down menu) to be used to get address information. Or better yet a way to import a csv file to fill the preset fields for an option box.
2. Input masks that force users to enter the data in the format you prefer. (000) 000-0000
3. Ability to enable or disable options depending on other choices.
4. Option for a list of numbers say 1 thru 100 and as people pick a registration (car number in my case) that choice cannot be picked again by another user for that form. Load values from a table that can be picked several times or only once could work in both my suggestions.
Thank You.Hello there,
Thanks for these thoughts! They're all really good (and welcome) suggestions for additions to the FormsCentral service. As you might imagine, we're busily working back here to implement new features; we have big plans for FormsCentral. For these suggestions in particular, I'll do two things:
1. Send these suggestions to the product team and get them added to the to-do list!
2. Move the whole thread here into the FormsCentral Ideas sub-forum. That way, your suggestions will be noted as such and well-documented on our end.
Thanks for the great ideas; let us know if you have any more feedback for us!
Best regards,

Triggering a database query and region update from drop-down menu selection
I suspect this must be covered somewhere in some how-to or documentation but Google hasn't been of much help here:
A user is filling in a form. The first entry in the form is a drop-down menu. Upon the user selecting a value in the menu I would like to query existing entries in the DB and present results to the user, in a region to the right hand-side of the form, as guidance (i.e.: "here's what we already have for this component").
I am unclear as to whether I should be using computations, javascript or a combination of both here. Pointers welcome. Thanks in advance.Hello,
Take a look at this example, it does what you want.

i had recently installed new firefox and instead of my 20 bookmarks showing up all in the 1 toolbar, only 10 are shown and the rest are hidden to the right with the ">>" button.
how the heck do i change it back to what i previously had? this is driving crazy! i want them all to show and not have to click the ">>" button and go through the drop down menuRemoves text associated with your bookmarks and folders and gives you placement controls over bookmarks extending the functionality and usability of the Bookmarks Toolbar. Your Bookmarks Toolbar is now very Roomy and Smart!

Black dots in drop down menus and in previews.
I just upgraded my Mac to 10.9.3 and i have these weird tiny little dots appearing in my drop down menus and when I open an image in Previews. Actually, some images just look crazy in Previews with giant squares all over them. Any idea how to fix this? I have this same operating system on an older computer at work w/out this problem.

In previous versions of Mozilla we had drop-down menus that contained flyouts that offered more drop-down options. This no longer works in Mozilla 4. If you look at our website in IE7, 8 or 9 and Mozilla 4.0.2 they now work differently. (www.saskschoolboards.ca) Eg. Under About Us / Committees there should be three more dropdowns on a flyout - Committee List; MEPP Report and Semi-Annual Report form. Mozilla 4.0 only shows Committee List and no other drops downs. All of our flyouts are showing only the first selection and nothing else.
Other affected menus dropdowns are:
Board Dev / Trustee Development (there should be 4 dropdowns - not just one)
Communications has Surveys and Elections
Why is Mozilla not showing our menus correctly anymore?
Andrea Ashton - [email protected]I see this error in the Tools > Error Console:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Error: D.getStyle is not a function
Source File: http://www.saskschoolboards.ca/js/mootools.js
Line: 279
</blockquote>
It looks that the mootools script is no longer compatible with Firefox 4.<br />
Google Chrome behaves the same and also doesn't open the sub-menus properly and keep the first entry on display once it is open.
Did you check if there is an update for that script?

When my delegates are filling in a event form i have put together, a large number of them forget to change either the month or year on the date field. Is there a way to have a date field that has drop down boxes for day, month and year so they have to choose rather than a date been already on the screen??
ThanksHi Christopher,
The WEEKDAY function allows specifying either Sunday or Monday as the first day of the week:
WEEKDAY
The WEEKDAY function returns a number that is the day of the week for a given date. WEEKDAY(date, first-day)
 date: The date the function should use. date is a date/time value. The time portion is ignored by this function.
 first-day: An optional value that specifies how days are numbered.
Sunday is 1 (1 or omitted): Sunday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Saturday is day 7.
Monday is 1 (2): Monday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Sunday is day 7. Monday is 0 (3): Monday is the first day (day 0) of the week and Sunday is day 6.
But I think you are referring to the first day of the 'workweek', for which I do not see a means of defining a custom value.
Since you want to 'insert categories', though, you could easily define your own, using WEEKDAY(date) or WEEKDAY(date,1), plus an IF statement to return the category label appropriate to the day. Here's one for a Sunday to Thursday work week. Dates are in column A, the formula is in whichever column you want as the Category column. For the example, I've placed it in column B.
B2, and filled down: =IF(WEEKDAY(A)<6,"Work","Off")
The top table shows the weekday numbers returned for each day of the week for each of the three permitted values for the optional second argument. The bottom table shows the results from the formula above, used to define a category label for each date:
A10 was left blank intentionally, to determine if the lack of data resulted in an error. The Warning message, flagged by the blue 'warning' triangle, is "The formula uses a number in place of a date." The 'date' assigned to this numerical value of zero was a Friday, but I'm not certain when. Probably best to avoid extra rows with no date shown.

Didn't know that I'd have the chance to say more so I pretty much summed it up in the first question. lol! Hopefully all are familiar with the "Mentions" feature on Facebook. It allows you to "tag" a friend when you comment on a post or make a post. The process is that you type "@" and then the first letter of the friend you want to tag, and a drop down appears with all friends starting with that letter. Choose your friend and then make your comment. Their name will not appear in your comment but they will get a notification that it was directed at them.
My problem is that it simply doesn't work in Firefox although it works fine in IE & Chrome. This seems to only be my problem as others using Firefox are having no problem. What could it be? Thanks!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.

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. -
Any help welcome. I have tried just re-starting Firefox and I have tried adding bookmarks to it, but still can't see it.
This issue can also be caused by a missing "Bookmarks Toolbar items" on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button -

Problem with checkbox and drop down menu
I am using DW8 with PHP/MySQL.
I made a insertion form and a couple of the fields are
checkboxes and another is a drop down menu. Everything works fine,
however, when I create an update form and the recordset calls the
data it doesn't retain its values on those items.
For example, if I checked a box when inserting the record and
then call the data up for the update form, the box is not checked,
making the user believe it was never checked in the first place.
The same thing goes for the drop down menu. If I have 3
options in the menu and someone selects the third one, when the
update form is used it defaults to the first option automatically
instead of actually calling up the original value selected.The fact that two scripts do not work together does not mean
there is a bug in the RH script. It is simply that they were not
designed by their respective developers to work together. This
happens with multiple scripts in any html file.
Try creating a new project and then importing just this topic
into it. Does it still have the problem?
