Dreamweaver

Apply the Show Pop‑Up Menu behavior

Note: This behavior is deprecated as of Dreamweaver 9. To access it, you must select the ~Deprecated menu item from the Actions menu of the Behaviors panel.

You use the Show Pop‑Up Menu behavior to create or edit a Dreamweaver pop‑up menu or to open and modify a Fireworks pop‑up menu you’ve inserted in a Dreamweaver document.

Note: Dreamweaver provides this feature as a convenience for those who used it in Dreamweaver 8 or earlier. To create and edit new pop-up menus, use the Spry Menu Bar widget in the Insert bar for code that is easier to customize and maintain. For more information, see Working with the Menu Bar widget.

You set options in the Show Pop‑Up Menu dialog box to create a horizontal or vertical pop‑up menu. You can use this dialog box to set or modify the color, text, and position of a pop‑up menu.

Note: You must use the Edit button in the Dreamweaver Property inspector to edit images in a Fireworks image-based pop‑up menu. You can, however, use the Show Pop‑Up Menu command to change the text in an image-based pop‑up menu.
  1. Select an object and choose ~Deprecated > Show Pop‑Up Menu from the Actions menu of the Behaviors panel.
  2. Use the following tabs to set options for the pop‑up menu:
    Contents
    Set the name, structure, URL, and target of individual menu items.

    Appearance
    Set the appearance of the menu’s Up State and Over State and the font of menu items.

    Advanced
    Set the properties of the menu cells. For example, you can set cell width and height, cell color and border width, text indention, and the time elapsed between the moment the user moves the pointer over the trigger and the moment the menu appears.

    Position
    Position the menu relative to the triggering image or link.
