JavaScript - Javascript Drop-down Menu Display Problem In Ie 6 And 7
I've been running into a brick wall on this problem, and have gone over my html, css and PHP dozens of times, so I'm thinking it's a Javascript issue (where my skills are lacking). I'm using a drop-down menu script that I got he http://www.php-development.ru/javascripts/dropdown.php, which I have modified slightly to eliminate timeout and change styles on closing the menu (by clicking on it).
It works fine everywhere except in IE 6 and 7. In IE 7, the menu appears where it should, but looks blank. If you leave the sub-menu open and hover over another link, the menu appears as it should. Both drop-down menus do this. In IE6, the problem is similar, except that only the bottom border of the menu items appear, not the whole link. The page can be found he http://www.georgekoury.com/index_test.php, and the only options with drop-down are "Individual Insurance" and "Group Insurance". I realize the code isn't entirely compliant, I inherited this code from another programmer and I'm trying to avoid having to rewrite the whole structure. I'm not sure what code you may need me to post, so if more information is needed, please let me know and I'll provide it. Similar TutorialsOkay everyone, new here, of course, and as much as I hate to be one of those people that don't really know much about a topic at hand and gratuitously seek out the help of those who do, here I am. The upshot is that it's probably something really easy to answer for those who know Javascript already. I've tried figuring this out but I'm at a loss. I can manage pretty well with CSS, messing around and playing with values to figure out what I need, but I've taken a look at the Javascript and it's completely unapproachable for me. I used a website, http://www.mycssmenu.com/ to create a really nifty dropdown menu, which has a tree structure in Javascript as well as collapse and expand buttons. The great thing is that, for those with Javascript disabled, it still fully works as a CSS drop-down menu. But I've been asked to modify it. Right now, you click and that's how things expand. But I've been asked to make it so that it will expand simply on hover.And I don't know what to do at all. Of course I know how to change the colors of the particular fields when you hover, through CSS, but to make it expand simply on hover? Think anyone can give me some pointers or a bit of help? The website in question is here Psiholog Popa Anca. Great job on the colors though, eh? Let me know! I'm sorry if this question might have already been posted before, but as I do not know how to go about phrasing the questions(due to low calibre in technical terms), I could not do any search about it. Basically what I intended to do is to add a *drop down list* to the header looking something like this http://www.w3schools.com/DHTML/tryit...rydhtml_menu10 except for the fact that the header(the Tutorials, Scripting, Validation coloured in pink) isn't coded using .html but .js(in this website, its coded in html as shown below). <html> <head> <style> body{font-family:arial;} table{font-size:80%;background:black} a{color:black;text-decoration:none;font:bold} a:hover{color:#606060} td.menu{background:lightblue} table.menu { font-size:100%; position:absolute; visibility:hidden; } </style> <script type="text/javascript"> function showmenu(elmnt) { document.getElementById(elmnt).style.visibility="visible"; } function hidemenu(elmnt) { document.getElementById(elmnt).style.visibility="hidden"; } </script> </head> <body> <h3>Drop down menu</h3> <table width="100%"> <tr bgcolor="#FF8080"> <td onmouseover="showmenu('tutorials')" onmouseout="hidemenu('tutorials')"> <a href="/default.asp">Tutorials</a><br /> <table class="menu" id="tutorials" width="120"> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="/html/default.asp">HTML</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="/css/default.asp">CSS</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="/xml/default.asp">XML</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="/xsl/default.asp">XSL</a></td></tr> </table> </td> <td onmouseover="showmenu('scripting')" onmouseout="hidemenu('scripting')"> <a href="/default.asp">Scripting</a><br /> <table class="menu" id="scripting" width="120"> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="/js/default.asp">JavaScript</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="/vbscript/default.asp">VBScript</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="default.asp">DHTML</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="/asp/default.asp">ASP</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="/ado/default.asp">ADO</a></td></tr> </table> </td> <td onmouseover="showmenu('validation')" onmouseout="hidemenu('validation')"> <a href="/site/site_validate.asp">Validation</a><br /> <table class="menu" id="validation" width="120"> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="/web/web_validate.asp">Validate HTML</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="/web/web_validate.asp">Validate XHTML</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="/web/web_validate.asp">Validate CSS</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="/web/web_validate.asp">Validate XML</a></td></tr> <tr><td class="menu"><a href="/web/web_validate.asp">Validate WML</a></td></tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <p>Mouse over these options to see the drop down menus</p> </body> </html> So how can I code this in .js instead of .html? I really need a clue on how to get started on coding this as this is totally new to me, hope that anyone would appreciate helping me and I will be grateful about it. Hi everyone, How can I achieve this? I need to get my drop down menu go over the javascript slideshow going on in this page: www.kimikal.com/store It works on all browsers except for IE, which hides the menu behind the js slideshow. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am trying to create 2 different drop down menus which are chained. First drop down menu: options 1, 2, 3, and 4 Second drop down menu: options 1, 2, 3 and 4 However for the first drop down menu, if you choose the number then that number cannot be selected again on the second drop down menu. So if i pick 4 on the first drop down. then only 1, 2, and 3 should show up on the second drop down OR if you pick 4 on the second drop down it gives you an error saying you selected that value. Here is the complicated part that I cannot figure out. I want each drop down menus on two different pages and not on the same page. So after you select the submit button on the first drop down it should go to another page with the second drop down.. Has anyone seen this before. if you can give me some tips or show me how its done or even a webpage that has already implemented this i would appreciate it. Thank you! Hi guys. I have been scowering high and low for code to create a Java drop down menu bar for my site. I want it to be something like this: http://javascript-array.com/scripts/...rop_down_menu/ but want to insert pictures into it, for each heading, to create a new looking bar if thats possible. Can you do a mouseover with them also, as i currently have one set up, to change text colour (2 different images per button) but am unsure of the code. Thanks in advance. hi im new to scripting so apologies if this is a basic question. I have a form which has javascript validation which triggers hidden divs if certain input boxes are left blank. I have it working with text fields and text areas, but im having trouble with a drop down menu. This is the code for my drop down: Code: <select name="department" size="1" id="department"> <option value="" selected>Please select</option> <option value="1">Personal Injury</option> <option value="2">ULR & Credit Hire</option> <option value="3">Consumer Credit</option> <option value="4">Health & Safety</option> <option value="5">Property</option> </select> And this is the code currently for the Javascript validating: Code: if(department.selectedIndex == 0){ var error = true; $('#department_error').fadeIn(500); }else{ $('#department_error').fadeOut(500); If i leave the drop down on the 'Please Select' value, the error message should show, but at the moment it doesnt show up. I have a feeling the syntax is wrong in the javascript? Any help very much appreciated Thanks Hi there. I recently put a news ticker on my work's homepage and it works fine. The only problem is that the drop-down menus above it are appearing behind the news ticker. I tried trouble-shooting for the last couple days to no avail. I am hoping someone might be able to give me some hints or a way to resolve this. Here is a link to the beta page, and below is the newsticker javascript I used. This is my first time posting here and I'm really new to the world of scripting so please let me know if there is anything else you might need to help me crack this thing. Thanks to everyone in advance. Code: // Create namespace if (at == undefined) var at = {}; if (at.bartelme == undefined) at.bartelme = {}; // Newsticker Class at.bartelme.newsticker = Class.create(); at.bartelme.newsticker.prototype = { initialize: function() { // Get elements this.interval = 10000; this.container = $("newsticker"); this.messages = $A(this.container.getElementsByTagName("li")); this.number_of_messages = this.messages.length; if (this.number_of_messages == 0) { this.showError(); return false; } this.current_message = 0; this.previous_message = null; // Create toggle button this.toggle_button = document.createElement("a"); this.toggle_button.href = "#"; this.toggle_button.id = "togglenewsticker"; this.toggle_button.innerHTML = "Toggle"; Event.observe(this.toggle_button, "click", this.toggle.bindAsEventListener(this), false); this.hideMessages(); this.showMessage(); // Install timer this.timer = setInterval(this.showMessage.bind(this), this.interval); }, showMessage: function() { Effect.Appear(this.messages[this.current_message]); setTimeout(this.fadeMessage.bind(this), this.interval-2000); if (this.current_message < this.number_of_messages-1) { this.previous_message = this.current_message; this.current_message = this.current_message + 1; } else { this.current_message = 0; this.previous_message = this.number_of_messages - 1; } }, fadeMessage: function() { Effect.Fade(this.messages[this.previous_message]); }, hideMessages: function() { this.messages.each(function(message) { Element.hide(message); }) }, toggle: function() { Effect.BlindUp(this.container, 1000); }, showError: function() { if (this.container.getElementsByTagName("ul").length == 0) { this.list = document.createElement("ul"); this.container.appendChild(this.list); } else { this.list = this.container.getElementsByTagName("ul")[0]; } this.errorMessage = document.createElement("li"); this.errorMessage.className = "error"; this.errorMessage.innerHTML = "Could not retrieve data"; this.list.appendChild(this.errorMessage); } } Event.observe(window, "load", function(){new at.bartelme.newsticker()}, false); hey im newish to javascript. ive completely handwritten this script, based on a working drop down menu script i had. this new script is supposed to incorporate the menu 'rolling' down. this is based on pixel increment by time. problems with the code: doesnt work at all with ie, only FF can only open one menu item per refresh of page when you go to click on a menu sub-item the menu disappears as soon as your mouse leaves the first header link. didnt have any of these problems with the basic drop down menu this is based on. so heres the code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> div, a, ul, li, body, {padding:0;margin:0;

I'm looking for a script that would be able to deal with generating the code for all possible values that could be chosen in the second drop down box. The drop down boxes are part of a form which allow people to search for educational courses within areas of a state/county. I've had a good root around the internet but am rapidly getting confused ... many thanks in advance. Si. Hello! My first (but surely not last) post on this forum. I made a drop box menu and I want to activate specific javascript functions when they are selected. I think this should be fairly easy to solve. I am very new at HTML and Javascript btw. This is what I tried: if (document.getElementById("selectense").value="present"){ document.getElementById("present").style.visibility="visible"; } <span class="tensebox"> <select id="selectense"> <option onclick="showPresent()">Present</option> <option onclick="showPC()">Present</option> </select></span> (and I have some text with the ID "present) I am trying to create a drop down menu for dates that starts with today's date, but allows people to choose 50 years into the past and 10 years into the future.

I wanted it to show the name of the month, but I am getting a number (and a wrong one at that). Apologies... I am a terrible newbie with Javascript. Hi guys, I am having an issue changing a piece of Javascript and hoped you guru's could help?I am not awful with Javascript but it is fair to say I am still at the beginning of my learning! I can't find the correct answer in forums and tutorials and you guys are literally my last hope! Here it is .... I have a drop-down menu on a website I am working on which is made up of HTML, CSS and a little bit of Javascript. At the moment it is set so that when the user hovers over the menu it operates the drop-down. This obviously does not work for iPads etc as there is no mouse to hover. I want to keep my menu but alter the Javascript so the menu drops when clicked instead. Here is my code: Javascript Code: <script type="text/javascript"><!--//--><![CDATA[//><!-- startList = function() { if (document.all&&document.getElementById) { navRoot = document.getElementById("nav"); for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) { node = navRoot.childNodes[i]; if (node.nodeName=="LI") { node.onmouseover=function() { this.className+=" over"; } node.onmouseout=function() { this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");

All of the things I have tried have not worked! Any help would be truly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Hey, so I'm a complete javascript newbie and am trying to create a drop down menu with four different boxes. The site I'm working on is basically an ecommerce site, so I'll use cars as a good example for what I want to do. Let's say that I'm selling cars and want to target the buyer directly, then I would have the following boxes, each one serving as a dependent of the one before it: 1. Pick the brand (BMW, Mercedes, Etc.) 2. Pick the type of car (Sports car, SUV, Mini Van, etc.) 3. Pick the color (blue, green, etc.) 4. Pick the price ($0-$19,999/$19,999-29,999/etc.) So far I have the first two boxes down by using the following site: http://www.supertom.com/menugen/. Now my problem is that the site only allows for the first two boxes to be made, and says that "the values in box1 are static and printed directly as normal HTML. The corresponding box2 options will also be copied into the HTML as well as the javascript for full functionality." Being a complete newbie, I have no idea what this means. So I decided to search the internet for an answer and was not able to find one, thus leading me here, which from the looks of it seems like a great forum. If anyone could tell me how to connect a third and fourth box that falls into the same hierarchy as the first and the second then I would appreciate. Really THANK YOU, and I'm really looking forward to reading your replies!! -Bobby Im coding with AnyLink JS drop down menu and I am running into a annoying Java Script Problem or CSS not sure. Here is the site ip http://96.0.177.61 if you view it in FF it looks fine but in IE 8 you will find a space about 5 - 10px wide straight across the bottom of the top Nav.

The destination_folder is set for C:\temp as default location. the code below works as needed for one file,,however i need to create a drop down list which will show all file names,and automatically throw the right ident for that file after the P=. sounds simple enough but there are other sections that are tied to this form so the solution has to use the CFForm_1(this) else i'll have to redo all the other sections as well. as well as javascript if anyone has a quick and clean way to do this i'd be very appreciative. i've pulled my hair out trying to find examples using this config and none are even close..or don't have a drop down menu Code: <form name="CFForm_1" action="http://www.XXX.cfm?p=6D6F615CC&rt=2&st=2" method="POST" onsubmit="CFForm_1(this)"> <input name="destination_folder" id="destination_folder" type="text" value="C:\Temp" maxlength="200" size="60" /> <input type="Submit" value="Resume"> thanks in advance, Rick My problem has to do with having more then two drop down menus and disabling selected items. In this example whenever anyone selects an option from either of the drop-down menus the opposing drop-down menu greys out the selection: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function updateSelect(changedSelect, selectId) { var otherSelect = document.getElementById(selectId); for (var i = 0; i < otherSelect.options.length; ++i) { otherSelect.options[i].disabled = false; } if (changedSelect.selectedIndex == 0) { return; } otherSelect.options[changedSelect.selectedIndex].disabled = true; } </script> Code: <select id="subject1" name="indication_subject[]" onchange="updateSelect(this,'subject2');" > <option value="1">A</option> <option value="2">B</option> <option value="3">C</option> </select> <select id="subject2" name="indication_subject[]" onchange="updateSelect(this,'subject1');" > <option value="1">A</option> <option value="2">B</option> <option value="3">C</option> </select> The above code works perfect. My problem is extending this to even more drop-down menus. I'm not a javascript guy but my logic was thinking something like this: Code: ARRAY = "subject1, subject2, subject3"; <select id="subject1" name="indication_subject[]" onchange="updateSelect(this,'ARRAY');" > ...either an array to include multiple drop-down menus or what about something like this? Code: <select id="subject2" name="indication_subject[]" onchange="updateSelect(this,'subject1, subject2, subject3, subject4');" > Obviously I know my code solutions don't work, however, I'm hoping they can provide someone with clarity with respect to what I'm trying to accomplish. I sincerely would appreciate anyone's help on this. I know how to edit the CSS, and minute parts of the JavaScript code (for example; speed of the drop). The problem is, I had a massive amount of help making the Javascript side of the menu, and do not know how to edit it... I want the rules to still apply, where only one can be expanded at a time (one of the first drops, and then only one of the sub-drops). I noticed in the code, I can edit it so there can be more than one drop, but that would mean, the whole menu could be expanded Also, I want my sub-drops. to have different span colour than the main drop. but trhe links and such, (everything else about it) can be the same.... My live demo is here! Thank you for any help and/or advice in advance, Best Regards, Tim Hi Only a very simple beginner (thicko) so please don't laugh :-) I have a very basic allwebco website and in the root I have menu.js which puts a small menu on the top right of every webpage that calls it. The index.html page in the root calls this menu.js and also another page in a folder from the root calls it (I prefix menu.js in this page with '../' so as to step back to the root). Also on this sub-page I call another page which is in the same folder. This also calls up 'menu.js' and again I prefix it '../' in order to access it from the root, which is the preceding folder. However, on this second page, it does not display the menu. I have tried everything by prefixing it with '/', './', '../' and just leaving it as 'menu.js' but it will not find it. I suppose it is because it is a 'recursive' situation. ie keeps calling itself over and over? Can anyone help please? Thanks. Barry Hello Everybody, I have a scenario where in i have 2 divisions, TOP and BOTTOM. In the BOTTOM Division i have a list box and Submit button in a form. User can select an item from the list box and click on the submit button. After user clicks the submit button i want to display some data/graph in the bottom division. However with my current code i see that on clicking the submit button , the data is displayed on a fresh page. Please guide me if this is possible or should i use a different logic.

As a standard there are only 4 menu objects, but I need a fifth one. I have tried to add another myself, and change everything i thought important in the javascript.js, but it just doesn't work. The javascript screws up, so I am clearly missing something. Therefore i'm hoping that someone inhere, can help me adding it. Below are the index, javascript and stylesheet included. If I'm not making myself clear, please let me know and I will try to explain it better Thanks walkie index.htm Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Identity</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="fancybox/jquery.fancybox.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/javascript.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="fancybox/jquery.fancybox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> </head> <body> <div id="leftSide"> <!--Site Title--> <div id="title"> <!--Main Title--> <h1><span></span>Identity</h1> <!--Caption/Sub Title--> <span class="titleSubText">the portfolio of john smith</span> </div> <div id="arrowWrapper"><div id="arrow"></div></div> <div id="buttonsWrapper"> <!--About Button--> <div id="aboutButtonWrapper"> <div class="navButton" id="aboutButton"></div> <div class="navCaption" id="aboutCaption"> <!--About Button: Label--> <span class="navCaptionText">about</span><br /> <!--About Button: Sub-Label--> <span class="navSubCaptionText">who I am</span> </div> </div> <!--Portfolio Button--> <div id="portfolioButtonWrapper"> <div class="navButton" id="portfolioButton"></div> <div class="navCaption" id="portfolioCaption"> <!--Portfolio Button: Label--> <span class="navCaptionText">portfolio</span><br /> <!--Portfolio Button: Sub-Label--> <span class="navSubCaptionText">my work</span> </div> </div> <!--Services Button--> <div id="servicesButtonWrapper"> <div class="navButton" id="servicesButton"></div> <div class="navCaption" id="servicesCaption"> <!--Services Button: Label--> <span class="navCaptionText">services</span><br /> <!--Services Button: Sub-Label--> <span class="navSubCaptionText">what I do</span> </div> </div> <!--Contact Button--> <div id="contactButtonWrapper"> <div class="navButton" id="contactButton"></div> <div class="navCaption" id="contactCaption"> <!--Contact Button: Label--> <span class="navCaptionText">contact</span><br /> <!--Contact Button: Sub-Label--> <span class="navSubCaptionText">get in touch</span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="contentPanelWrapper"> <div id="contentPanelEdge"></div> <!--Wrapper That Contains 'About' Content--> <div class="content" id="aboutContent"> <!--Title--> <div class="contentTitle">about</div> <!--Body Text--> <div id="aboutText"> <h3>Who I Am</h3><br /> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
