      Hey folks,

      i'm currently trying to get the dropdown menu to work.

      my facelets page looks like this:

      <!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"

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>XperiDesk 1.0</title>
</head>
<body>
<ui:include src="header.xhtml" />
<h:form>
 <rich:toolBar>
 <rich:dropDownMenu value="File" event="onclick">
 <rich:menuItem submitMode="ajax" value="Save" action="#{loginHandler.something}"></rich:menuItem>
 <rich:menuItem submitMode="ajax" value="Rollback"></rich:menuItem>
 <rich:menuSeparator />
 <rich:menuItem submitMode="ajax" value="Lock"></rich:menuItem>
 <rich:menuItem submitMode="ajax" value="Unlock"></rich:menuItem>
 <rich:menuSeparator />
 <rich:menuItem submitMode="ajax" value="Exit"></rich:menuItem>
 </rich:dropDownMenu>
 <rich:dropDownMenu value="Help" event="onclick">
 <rich:menuItem submitMode="ajax" value="Application Help"></rich:menuItem>
 </rich:dropDownMenu>
 </rich:toolBar>
</h:form>
<div class="upperleft"><ui:insert name="upperleft" /></div>
<div class="upperright"><ui:insert name="upperright" /></div>
<div class="lowerleft"><ui:insert name="lowerleft" /></div>
<div class="lowerright"><ui:insert name="lowerright" /></div>
</body>

</html>


      The "File" and "Help" text are shown but moving over them or clicking them does not make the dropdownmenu appear.

      any idea what to do?

      best regards,
      STefan.

          hm... looks like it's a firefox related issue. in IE7 it works fine.

          is there a possibility to get it work for firefox 2.0?

          best regards,
          Stefan.

            nobody has any idea?
            what is strange is, that the dropdown menu in the jboss demo application works absolutely fine in Firefox 2.0. So it might be a configuration issue.

            my web.xml looks like that:

              just copied both snippets and it's working for me.
              please specify JSF environment and check in fireBug if there are some JS error..

                it works now. the problem was that some java scripts and stylesheets were not loaded due to some bad facelet templating...
