Edit jump menu items
You can change the order of items in the menu or the file an item links to, and you can add, delete, or rename an item.
To change the location in which a linked file opens, or to add or change a menu selection prompt, you must apply the
Jump Menu behavior from the Behaviors panel.
1
Open the Property inspector (Window > Properties) if it isn’t already open.
2
In the Document window’s Design view, click the jump menu object to select it.
3
In the Property inspector, click the List Values button.
4
Use the List Values dialog box to make your changes to the menu items, and then click OK.
Troubleshooting jump menus
After a user selects a jump menu item, there is no way to reselect that menu item if the user navigates back to that page,
or if the Open URL In box specifies a frame. There are two ways to work around this problem:
• Use a menu selection prompt, such as a category, or a user instruction, such as “Choose one”. The menu selection
prompt is reselected automatically after each menu selection.
• Use a Go button, which allows a user to revisit the currently chosen link. When you use a Go button with a jump
menu, the Go button becomes the only mechanism that “jumps” the user to the URL associated with the selection
in the menu. Selecting a menu item in the jump menu no longer re-directs the user automatically to another page
or frame.
Note: Select only one of these options per jump menu, in the Insert Jump Menu dialog box, because they apply to an entire
jump menu.

Note: The user interface has been simplified in Dreamweaver CC and later. As a result, you may not find some of the
options described in this article in Dreamweaver CC and later. For more information, see
About navigation bars
The navigation bar feature has been deprecated as of Dreamweaver CS5.
Adobe recommends using the Spry Menu Bar widget if you want to create a navigation bar.
