Working with pop up menus in Dreamweaver CS4
this is my first time working with pop up menus in CS4 (have built many in previous versions), Adobe says you cannot create the pop up menus due to the new Spry feature - but that you can alter existing menus using the Behaviours panel
I have just launched a new website using pop up menus - and there is a glitch when viewing the rollover/pop up menus: I see a question mark to the left of each image in the menu (the images themselves are working beautifully), does anyone know why?
view the website here:
http://www.kiwihouse.org.nz
I want to keep the pop up menu so am looking for a solution to eliminate the floating question mark
does it have anything to do with the multiple javascripts on each page?.. I have one for the menus, and one for the multiple fadeshow
any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Not sure if this is the problem, don't have time to go through all your code - but putting the page through the validator bought up a lot of errors...
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kiwihouse.org.nz%2F
Look at the 3rd error message - it's to do with the way the script link has been written.
Lots of other errors that need fixing as well.
On another note, these pop up menus are not the best way to create menus these days, that's why the pop up menu feature was removed from the latest DW version.

Keeping Nav Bars highlighted with pop-up menus
How do I get navigation bars to stay highlighted while the
mouse is over the pop-up menu in Dreamweaver 8 and Fireworks 8? I
found directions on the Adobe Website, but it only works for the MX
versions, as the codes are different. Navigation bars and pop-up
menus were created in Fireworks and exported tov Dreamweaver.
ThanksI am having this problem as well. Does anyone have a
solution? -
What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4???
I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have *.doc format.
What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4???
David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing it (Ctrl+D).
How about pasting RTF or Text Document???
I want to make book's layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with text and the right - with graphics.
So, as I understand to place the text on each page I must create for example 70 Word documents and place each item on 70 left pages???
It loks like wasting time. I sthere another way of making such layout??? What kind????It's best to place any text.
You can have all of your text in one file and use auto-flow to add threaded text frames and pages as required (Hold down the Shift key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it's a little non-standard to have the thread only on one side of the spread from the auto-flow perspective, so you'll have to set up properly.
This is one case where a master text frame will work to your advantage. On your master page spread, add a text frame to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not threaded to one on the right -- for some other project you might actually want two independent text threads). Hold the loaded cursor over a frame on the left side of a document page and auto-flow. ID will add new spreads as necessary, but only put the text on the left side.

Probelems with the page properties in Dreamweaver cs4
Hello,
I have a problem with dreamweaver cs4. My dreamweaver is installed on windows 7. I did not had this problem before in windows xp.
It is on the lowest screen (page) propperties (dreamweaver is in clasic mode)
When ik point at HTML then I can not see all the items. This is also the same for CSS.
-HTML - FORMAT - CLASS by the title I can only see 3mm. The rest is not shown.
On the next line by CSS - ID - LINK its the same. I can only see 3 mm of Target.
The wierd thing is that when I click with my mouse at a image the page propperties are shown good. Then their is nothing wrong with it. I can see everything. I hope someone can help me. I have posted a picture of the problem so you see inmeadiatly what I mean.

Trouble with updating child pages in dreamweaver cs4
Hello,
I have added some advertising links to my template page in Dreamweaver CS4 and it doesn't update my child pages for some reason. I have saved the template and synchronized the sitewide as normal but it isn't updating them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thx
kimYes it has worked in the past.
Not if you made those changes to an editable region in the template it didn't. Changes made to a template page ONLY propagate to child pages if they have been made to non-editable regions. Changes to editable regions of a template page will ONLY appear in child pages created from the template after the changes have been made, and will not propagate to existing child pages.
so does that mean if I add content to editable region I will have to manually put it on each page
Yes it means exactly that.
Can I change the editable region to a non editable region
You can do that by removing the editable region from the template. Of course when you do that, all unique content appearing in those regions on your child pages will also be removed.
The moral to the story is to make sure that your template is designed properly (vis-a-vis editable regions) so that all of your needs are accommodated. -
Help using countifs with pop-up menus please
made a spreadsheet and am using pop-up menus as the cell format to list several shifts when making a schedule for my job, so far so good.
now i would like to total across the rows for each type of shift in 3 categories so for instance, i would like to create a formula that will tally the number of times i selected either the drop down for 9a-6p or 10a-7pm...i can get it to count one occurance by using =COUNTIF(B5:H5, "=9A-6P")...so i was trying something like =COUNTIFS(B5:H5,"=9A-6P",B5:H5,"=10A-7P") to get it to total the number of times i chose both of those text entires for the drop down, but that seems to be missing something...any help would be appreciated....Hi Steph,
What you're missing is this (From the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide):
COUNTIFS(test-values, condition, test-values..., condition...)
test-values: A collection containing values to be tested. test-values is a collection containing any type of value.
condition: An expression that results in a logical TRUE or FALSE. condition is an expression that can contain anything as long as the result from comparing condition to a value in test-values can be expressed as a Boolean value of TRUE or FALSE.
test-values...: Optionally include one or more additional collections containing values to be tested. Each test-values collection must be followed immediately with a condition expression. This pattern of test-values, condition can be repeated as many times as needed.
condition...: If an optional collection of test-values is included, an expression that results in a logical TRUE or FALSE. There must be one condition following each test-values collection; therefore, this function will always have an odd number of arguments.
Usage Notes
Each value in test-values is compared to the corresponding condition. If the
corresponding values in each collection meet the corresponding conditional tests,
the count is increased by 1.
The test-values, condition pairs may be thought of as a series of tests connected by AND(s)—the whole set is TRUE only if ALL parts are TRUE.
Your formula should be returning a zero count and you are testing the same set of values for two exclusive conditions—any pop-up set to "9A - 6P" cannot be also set to "10A - 7P"—at least one of the conditions will be false in every case.
For the results you want, you'll need a formula that counts each value/condition set separately, and adds the results:
=COUNTIF(B5:H5,"=9A-6P")+COUNTIF(B5:H5,"=10A-7P")
OR
=SUM(COUNTIF(B5:H5,"=9A-6P"),COUNTIF(B5:H5,"=10A-7P")

I have a pop up menu that quit working. It's been working
fine, I made some changes and now it won't work. When you scroll
over the button, you see "javascript:;" in the bottom left corner,
but the pop up menu will not appear. It works in both Dreamweaver
& Fireworks when I preview in the browser however. I have tried
exporting the files to their own folder, which is what I normally
do. I have tried exporting them to the main directory where the
pages are. I have tried having the mm_css_menu.js file in the pop
up menu's directory and in the main directory, and in both! Why
will it preview in the browser just fine and not work after I
upload it? Funny thing is, this pop up menu has been working fine
for years. the URL is www.tsheridanenterprises/Lazy S
Morgans/lazy_s_morgans.htm. Thanks.I'd say the problem relates to the broken links in the code -
<script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript"
src="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Theresa/My
Documents/Dreamweaver8
Webs/LazyS/lsm/image_map/mm_css_menu.js"></script>
<link href="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Theresa/My
Documents/Dreamweaver8 Webs/LazyS/CSS/Level1_Verdana.css"
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
...snip...
<script src="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Theresa/My
Documents/Dreamweaver8
Webs/LazyS/Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
Anything that starts with file:/// is broken. Note that there
are 9
consecutive broken links to the same stylesheet in the head
of the page, as
well.
By the way, it's dangerous to leave spaces in your
file/pathnames as you
have here -

Need help with pop up menus...
Hi guys, hope u can help me with this. Im working on a flash
website. I have to include a pop up menu which I have managed to
create no problem. However, when I try to make the buttons inside
the pop up to change to another scene when clicked I cant get them
to work. This is the code I've used:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("Student_area","tests");
I have defined the action to go to the frame labeled "tests"
in the "Student_area" scene as I have been told in a tutorial I
have. However when I test it and click on it nothing happens. I
have tried many variations such as simply telling it to take me to
the students scene like I would do with a normal button but still
nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Hope someone can help me, gotta submit this soon.
Thanks in advance.bump...

Hi,
heres my requirement:
To open a pop-up window onclick of a link from the parent window. Parent window has a data-table and a column called 'StatementInfo' which shows the statementNumber as a h:commandLink. When i click on the statement number i want to show the details of that statement in the pop-up. The details are rendered as a dataTable and if i am able to pass this statementNumber then i need to render the dataModel for that statementNumber.
If i have not made myself clear, heres a simpler example;
You have a page where you list all employees in a datatable. the employee id is a commandLink. I want to show the employee details when user clicks this link. Possible if so how and if there are any examples please point me to them.
Has any one done this before? I am using RAD6.0 and jsf1.0.1. I wouldnt want to use any apache component though.
thanks in advance,
DilipI dont understand how to do this. If you can point me to some example or provide me with some code assistance wouyld be helpful.

Help with pop-up menus specific to JText Fields
hello,
I am somewhat new to the popup menu aspect of java and so I was wondering how I can implement one popup menu to multiple and specificJTextFields.
What I am looking for is a way that a menu selection can use information specific to the JTextField where the user clicked.
I have tried this already but I have a problem where one selection in a given textfield will spread it to all the textfields with mouselisteners.
Any help would be most appreciated!I am somewhat new to the popup menu aspect of java...So create a simple program to test how you think it should work. If it doesn't work, then you have some code to post on the forum so we can see exactly what you are doing. Something like:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class PopupTest extends JFrame implements MouseListener
JPopupMenu popup;
public PopupTest()
popup = new JPopupMenu();
popup.add( new DefaultEditorKit.CutAction() );
popup.add( new DefaultEditorKit.CopyAction() );
popup.add( new DefaultEditorKit.PasteAction() );
JTextField textField = new JTextField("Right Click For Popup");
textField.addMouseListener( this );
getContentPane().add(textField);
private void checkForPopup(MouseEvent e)
if (e.isPopupTrigger())
popup.show(e.getComponent(), e.getX(), e.getY());
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
checkForPopup( e );
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
checkForPopup( e );
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}
public static void main(String[] args)
JFrame frame = new PopupTest();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
frame.show();

Please help me.
Thanks and Regards,

Details from ST22----
An exception occurred which is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_WDR_ADAPTER_EXCEPTION', was not
caught and
therefore caused a runtime error.
The reason for the exception is:
Adapterfehler im INPUT_FIELD "INPUT_FIELD01" des Views
"Z_BP_GENERAL.VIEW_VAL": Context-Bindung des Properties VALUE kann nicht
aufgelöst werden: Node VIEW_VAL.1.POP_IN does not contain any elements
The occurrence of the exception is closely related to the occurrence of
a previous exception "CX_WD_CONTEXT", which was raised in the program
"CL_WDR_CONTEXT_NODE===========CP",
specifically in line 9 of the (include) program
"CL_WDR_CONTEXT_NODE===========CM00R".
The cause of the exception was:
Node VIEW_VAL.1.POP_IN does not contain any elementshi,
Use this code in OnAction of LinktoAction UI element.
This code will give you index of the row from which Link to Action is Triggered.
<cn_popin> is my node binded to Table.
data: lr_element type ref to if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_cn_popin TYPE wd_this->element_cn_popin.
lr_element = wdevent->get_context_element( 'CONTEXT_ELEMENT' ).
get all declared attributes
lr_element->get_static_attributes(
IMPORTING
static_attributes = ls_cn_popin ).
data lv type I.
lv = lr_element->GET_INDEX( ).
Finally you have the index in varialbe lv. -

Trouble working with tapeless media in Premiere Pro CS4?
I am using a Samsung SC-HMX20C HD tapless camcorder that records in 1080i (60i). I am editing on a Dell T3400 with Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q95550 at 2.83GHz, with 3GB of RAM. I am able to import video in both AVCHD and HDV, but when I go to play it in Premiere Pro, my source monitor goes green, and Pro freezes up. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
Excellent suggestion. I checked my file info. for the video clip, and it said I recorded it as an HDV MP4. Is there another way to find out for sure?
