I am having issue designing webfocus html homepage with dropdown menu when a mouse is placed over a menu item (onmouseover) for my organisation. Please, can someone help with example(s).

When a mouse is placed over "Helpdesk", there should be a drop down menu showing "Request assistance", "Training" and "fault". And when placed over "FAQ's", the dropdown menu should be "User", "Admin".

Please, help

This is not specific to WebFOCUS but more JavaScript and CSS. Google JavaScript Menu and you'll probably get more info than you will here.

Like Tony, I suggest searching the internet. Normal behaviour for select list boxes is that they drop down when clicked on, not when the cursor is moved over them.

I am new to this. I have googled for javascripts drop down menu but I can't seem to make free codes work. The most I could do is to display a javascript dropdown menu that were covered by my webfocus frames on the page. That is you don't get to see the drop down list as its covered by page frames.

Please, can you help me please with a simple example dropdown code and instruction on where to paste the code i.e head or body parts.

I will appreciate it. Thank you.

Simple Drop-Down Menu v2.0

What do you mean by "by my webfocus frames on the page"? Are you trying to put a drop-down menu on a WebFOCUS Business Intelligence Dashboard view? Or are you trying to put a drop-down menu on an HTML launch page - please be specific.

I tried adding the dropdown menu code to the banner.html of a B.I. Dashboard view and the menu does not work.

It looks like some JS or CSS that is part of the banner.html is causing this not to work - the html
  • tags are not rendered as they're supposed to be.

    Something in B.I. Dashboard transforms the banner.html code by adding a lot of links to JS and css files. This is hard to detect because the right-click on the banner seems to be disabled. I was able to capture the transformed html of the banner by using Microsoft Script Editor and found that this, among other stuff was added to banner.html:

        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/ibi_apps/Controller?WORP_REQUEST_TYPE=WORP_GET_FILE&FILE_NAME=worp_custom/aj_gbv/banner.css"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/ibi_html/javaassist/worp/css/worp_popup.css"/>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/ibi_html/javaassist/worp/js/util/worp_utilities.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/ibi_html/javaassist/worp/js/util/worp_query-handler.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/ibi_html/javaassist/worp/js/util/worp_runtime.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/ibi_html/javaassist/worp/js/util/worp_iterator.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/ibi_html/javaassist/worp/js/util/worp_collection.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/ibi_html/javaassist/worp/js/util/worp_popup-window-manager.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/ibi_html/javaassist/worp/js/menu/worp_menu-options.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/ibi_html/javaassist/worp/js/menu/worp_menu-item.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/ibi_html/javaassist/worp/js/menu/worp_menu-object.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/ibi_html/javaassist/worp/js/menu/worp_menu-renderer.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/ibi_html/javaassist/worp/js/menu/worp_menu.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/ibi_html/javaassist/worp/js/worp_banner.js"></script>
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="/ibi_html/javaassist/intl/ibimultilanguage.js"></script>


    worp_popup.css might have something in it that is causing the dropdown menu to not work as expected.

    Thank you Francis. Actually, I am trying to add a dropdown menu to html launch page. The body of the html page will have frames showing graphs.

    I have seen the link you provided but I am afraid the author said the site name must appear on my page if I want to use the scripts. That is why I am trying to develop mine.


    Another issue I am having is that I have migrated my procedures, html and master files to a staging area (preparatory to moving them to prod) from dev area. While we in IT can access it in staging area, the business can't. whenever they try, it keeps coming up as procedure name missing?

    Though I modified the homepage with new links before moving them to staging area, could it be that the business team profile is still pointing to the dev area or is there old temp file that is redirecting to the old link? The only thing I noticed in the "other folder" are files with extension .ftm and .xml. Please are these files temp files?

    Thank you.

    Thank you guys for your response. i have been able to create a dropdown menu for the html homepage. I had to sit down and read some tutorials on CSS and Javascrpts!

    The only problem I have now is that the business can't access my reports after migrating them to prod area.

    emeke99,

    I'm glad to know you've solved your problem.

    May I suggest you take a look at jQuery? It's what I think is a revolutionary new way to work with JavaScript and CSS. It makes drop-down menus, tabbed pages, forms, etc. very easy to work with. It takes very little reading to get something to work.

    Cheers,


    Francis

    The material is here:
    http://javascript-array.com/sc...mple_drop_down_menu/

    Note the condition of use below:
    If you want to use this script on your page, please place link to http://javascript-array.com at one of your pages.

    For me, I didn't use the code but it gave me a hint on how I can develop one. Thanks
