Aaaargh! IE + Spry Menu = My Personal Hell! Help?!

Okay, so I've searched through these forums trying to find a solution to my problem, and while I did find over 200 posts related to my issue, I couldn't find a solution...
...maybe someone can help?
I've got a simple vertical spry menu that always works in Safari (Mac and PC), Chrome, Firefox (Mac and PC) and Opera. Naturally I'm having problems with Explorer (7 and 8). I've cleared out the cache/browsing history/temporary files countless times, hoping that the problem will clear up once I re-upload my CSS and HTML files, but to no avail.
The page in question is here: http://www.electronicgraphicsgroup.com/page.html
The problem I'm having is that spaces appear between the menu buttons (exposing a tell-tale yellow background) and the second- and third tier buttons are not visible. What's even stranger is that this menu will actually work - SOMETIMES. Then it craps out on me. I've reloaded all of the files related to this site several times (I'm in the process of a major redesign), and since 100% of my company's staff uses IE I simply have to get this to work 100% of the time. Not using a spry menu is not an option, nor is screaming my head off in an obscenity-soaked tirade as I run all over the office in a fit of anger...
I've run this page through http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ and only received warnings about my iFrame, which does not affect this page. I wish it HAD found problems - something to point me in the right direction!
I'm using DW CS3 with Spry 1.6.1.
Can anyone help out? Anyone?

IE uses different basic settings for margins, padding, etc. in fact no two browser are exactly the same, this is why so many css 'hack's' are around, and also why if your styles overwrite any other css styles in a css script, 'odd' behavior can occur.
One solution is to always start yor css with a css reset, and whenever you attach a css file or change your css you should always review it.
for info on css reset see: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
Another solution is to use IE conditional statments to change the css to IE specific settings
Format for IE conditional statment is:

Spry menu problems. Please help.

Hello,
I am new to web design so please try and be patient with me .
I am trying to create a horizontal spry menu bar into a new page. Even though I select horizontal, the menu is vertical. I have read through many previous posts and FAQ'q, but cannot find the answer. It is not just in IE, it is in every browser and dreamweaver itself. I am using 5.5.
UPDATE-- If I create the spry into a new blank HTML document, it works just fine. So I imagine it is something to do with the template?
Heres the code:

Ok so I decided to make a nice menu through fireworks.
This confuses me even further, how did you make a SpryMenuBar through FW?
It now works, but the links to the drop down menu are not horizontal in the drop down menu.
So it doesn't work
And this is only when trying to enter it into the template, into a new HTML it works fine..So it does work
Unforuntely I cannot post the website
Well, our worries are over, there is no need to correct the problem, no one will ever see the website.
Yes, I am being facetious.
In all seriousness, you can upload the website to a temporary location. This way we will be able help you.
Have a happy New Year!

My spry menu has disappeared. Help!

I had my spry menu all set except for it wasn't quite long enough. In the process of getting the width correct, it went transparent. I can see the menu items properties and in the code and the blue box is there. I just can't see the menu itself in Dreamweaver or online. I can't figure out what I changed that made it do this.

I added the following to the document (after the link to SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css)
<style>
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li {
    top: auto;
    position: relative;
</style>
and managed to see the menubar.
However, while perusing the stylesheet, I noticed that it had been mistreated beyond recognition. In view of this, I would recommend starting with an untouched stylesheet and changing only the colours and font sizes of existing style rules. Do not add new rules, do not delete existing rules.
See how you go and report back here in case of trouble.

Spry Menu Bar issue, NEED HELP...???

Here is the coding for a menu bar that i created with CS3, for some reason i am having an issue when i open the web page in IE, on firefox and safari it looks fine, the menu drops down to sub menu's fine, but for some reason when i open it in IE, the submenu's show on the very top of the page rather than right below the menu itself, please check my coding and see if there is an issue???
i ran compatability and there are no issues shown.

My Spry Menu Won't Work, HELP! :(

I'm using template 1...my sanity is waning fast. It looks fine on my local network, then I upload to godaddy and it won't run. I'm new to web design (obviously...I picked a template), please help?

I'm really sorry but that doesn't seem to fix the problem. Also, you said the </head> tag should come right above the <body> tag, and as far as I can tell, it appears to come in that order...
I did not realize that the body tag was there as wel.
The reason I said that the head tag was in the wrong position is because all style rules must be in the HEAD-section of the document. The following lines therefore must be contained within the Head-section.
<link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css" />
<link href="SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: #A8B60B;
</style>
Normally the attached script (JS) files are also included in the HEAD-section but this is not absolutely neccessary.
I also see a lot of ampersands and paragraph marks where they should not be. I have highlighted these in red.

As far as one of your original questions is concerned
The services drop-down menu doesn't drop down and the mouse-over color change doesn't happen for any of the menu items...
I can see a marked improvement there. I have had a look at your page in IE7, IE8 and FF.
I shall have a look at the CSS next.

Thanks a lot for that tip. It does improve it by a whole lot.. i c what my mistake was.. however, something is still off
.. The Drop down menu is not behaving well...
As you may c by the picture, the drop down menu now moves to the right. and is not because of the object to its left, i've modified that. Zinger Products Drop Down Menu also does the same.

HELP! Please. Spry Menu will not allow page to display once on server

Spry menu works fine "live" and in browser (firefox) but once uploaded, causes the entire page (index.html) not to appear. Can't find any help on the topic and extremely fustrated with this now. Here is my code. I hope this helps!?

As someone with dyslexia (commonly associated with other disorders) and ADD I'm able to offer insight and thoughts. Please note that I recognize with ADD not ADHD. There is a huge difference! A person affliced with ADD is likely a more difficult diagnosis than ADHD, since the hyperactivity, while possiblity mild or subtle, is not difficult to miss! </p>

Help with a Spry Menu Bar

I'm having trouble with a Spry Menu Bar not displaying
correctly in Internet Explorer, while it displays fine in every
other browser I have available. I've done some searching on these
boards, but the queries I've found with the same type of problem
each has a knowledgeable person editing the code for the
poster...and I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
So, below is my link. What you'll see if viewed in Explorer
is that the "Clinics" listing and the "Services & Specialties"
listing are each on the same horizontal line, rather than vertical
like the rest of the menu. If anyone can help me in correcting this
problem, I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You might try removing all of the <div> tags you
inserted in the menu.
This can happen if you select text in design view and use the
"align" icons
in the properties window instead of using CSS to align
things.
For example:
<li>
<div align="left"><<****REMOVE THIS
<a href="clinics.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Clinics</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="clinic.html">Chambers
Clinic</a></li>
<li><a href="clinic7.html">Scenic 7
Clinic</a></li>
</ul>
</div><<*** REMOVE THIS
</li>
So it looks like this:
<li><a href="clinics.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Clinics</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="clinic.html">Chambers
Clinic</a></li>
<li><a href="clinic7.html">Scenic 7
Clinic</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
Repeat for all the other <div align="left"> and
</div> tags in the menu.
Take care,
Tim

Spry menu bar changed since I tried to split cells in a table! Help!

I am VERY new to web design, so I apologize in advance for being ignorant. I am trying to learn!
I had inserted a spry menu bar that looked fine and even tested fine!
I subsequently tried to split a section of my table in the web page in order to have 3 columns of centered text. The first time I did this, the spry menu bar became vertical even though it is listed as horizontal. I looked up a forum answer, copied the code from the suggestion, and that seemed to fix the problem (although I still don't know what EXACTLY happened)
I tried to split the table again (I had undone everything prior to this), only this time, the spry menu bar is located outside the page in the left hand corner where my background (I have a wrapper) is. I tried opening another page where I already had a nice spry menu bar, and it did the same thing!! This makes me think it is the CSS sheet for the menu bar that was modified somehow when I split the table. I'm pasting the CSS here below, so if anyone sees any issues that might cause this problem, please let me know!! I have been working for the most part in design view, and haven't really modified the code other than to put a wrapper in and a facebook like button, which I've now lost in the slitting cells catastrophe. Thanks in advance!!!

Well, I took a picture of my dreamweaver screen, so you can see what I am looking at...
You can see that the spry menu bar shows up in the top left corner in my design view, but on the website, it is located in the correct place! Maybe it is a Dreamweaver problem??? This happened when I tried to split the cell underneath the section that says "Let NOLA Scribes help you!" into 5 cells so that I could insert 5 differnet pictures and captions. Now, when I open the other linked pages in Dreamweaver, it does the same thing! I'm using an older version of Dreamweaver, but from what I read, that shouldn't be an issue. Thanks in advance for your help!

Spry Menu Bar - Help Request

Hello!
I'm using a horizontal spry menu bar with horizontal sub menu
and have almost gotten the navigation exactly how I need it. I'm
stuck, however, and don't know how to fix the following:
1. I have absolute positioning set for my sub menu so that
the items appear under the left-most main menu item instead of
their parent item. When I change screen sizes, the sub menu stays
put (as it should) and everything else moves with the re-size. I
can't figure out where the sub menu positioning is originally set
to change it or how to get it to appear where it currently is
without using absolute positioning.
2. I would like to center the contents of the sub menu and I
think I've tried text-align:center everywhere possible but to no
avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
3. Is there any way that the menu can recongnize the page
that it's on and display the appropriate link high-lighted. For
example, when you open the home page the active/focus state for the
"Home" button shows (for this menu it would be a different color
background image) and it's corresponding sub menu would be
displayed automatically. Would a script do it? Is there anything
like this available?
The following is the page code and accompanying css. I have
not altered the js file. I apologize for not being able to provide
a link, but may be able to do so this evening.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Added a spry menu bar and site works in firefox but not in chrome or IE. Please help

Hello,
I'm a photographer by trade and have only picked up enough web design knowledge in order to build a website that isn't distracting to my photographs and is simple to update and mantain. Please breakdown any answers to my questions in very simple terms.
To start off here is a link to my site for reference. www.cechternach.com
1. My Biggest problem right now is that my site works in firefox but appears as a blank white page in chrome and in IE it only shows my background color.
I'm assuming that this has something to do with the spry menu bar I added. The galleries, banner, and footer were all part of a previous version of this website that didn't use the menu bar. I actually used png's exported from an illustrator as buttons. I've been wrestling with this menu bar for a few days now. I had an issue with the menubar forcing down the gallery below it. that was fixed by changing a position value from relative to absolute in the menubar css. Then I couldn't see the submenu over the galleries. I think I fixed that with a wmode change but I"m not sure if I did that right. I believe i needed to change that in the object and embed part of the code. One spot for certain browsers and the other spot for other browsers. I was a little confused on this because i also read that i needed to change the wmode in the javascript file in dreamweaver cs4 which is what i'm using. Whatever wmode I changed it seemed to work in firefox. The submenu background was showing up transparent but i fixed that in the menubar css.
2. I would like the submenu's to have a semi transparent blurred background effect. Is this possible with a spry menu bar?
3. How do I center my text in the submenu?
4. My menu bar buttons should be the same font as my name in my banner. It looks fine on my computer that has that font loaded but on other computers I was testing the site on the menubar buttons show up as a default font. How can i fix this?
5. Is there any way to get rid of the grey lines that show up around my slideshow pro galleries and menu bar buttons when they are clicked?
The last four questions aren't as important as the first one. I may be upsetting the flow of the forum as well. Please let me know if I'm not following procedure with any of my questions. Feel free to point out any other problems you see with my page. I'm trying to learn this as I go. Thanks in advance.

Spry widgets, which includes the SpryMenuBar, in their original state do not pose any problem in any browser!
Widgets contain two parts
JavaScript which drives the widget
CSS which styles the widget to individual tastes
The most common reason for a widget to misbehave especially in IE is because the inexperienced web developer has upset the delicate balance of the CSS. I say delicate, because in the original, great care has been taken by the Spry team to ensure cross browser compatibility.
There are other reasons why a whole page can misbehave. In these cases, the culprit should be sought outside of the Spry framework.
When trouble shooting, I would first of all comment out all of the Spry Spry parts and test the page in IE. If it does work after that, then yes come back here and we will have a look at the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css for you.
If it doesn't work after disabling Spry, then have a look at the coding and the CSS for your page and fix that.
I hope this helps.

Need help with Spry Menu Bar

Hello, I have two templates that I am using. Both have a horizontal menu bar across the top of the page and then two Vertical Spry Menu Bars down the left hand side of the page - one above the other. On one template, all menu bars are working correctly. On the other template, 2 out of three are working correctly. Not sure what's happening here. The spry menu bar that is not working correctly is under "Books & Materials" heading. The menu bar is supposed to turn green when you mouse over it, but instead everything turns white and looks like it "disappears". I have no idea why it would work on one template and not the other. Or for that matter, why it is working on one vertical spry menu bar, but not the other on the same page. Can anyone help me?   www.springerlejoy.com/proanimals4.html This is a page that shows where it is not working. Basically, all of the products pages are having this problem. If you go to the home page: www.springerlejoy.com you will see that this page is working - using a different template. Can anyone help me? I'm at a loss! Thanks!
Debbie

Help with vertical spry menu bar submenu displaying incorrectly!

I’m new to Dreamweaver and am learning as I go. I am having a problem with the vertical spry menu bar submenu in the Live View. When I scroll over the spry menu bar option that has a submenu, the submenu appears in the upper right hand corner of my screen. (My menu bar is going down the left hand side.) However, when I preview it in Internet Explorer it looks fine after I allow the Java Script to run or the Active X controls, which my browser usually automatically blocks. (The browser just displays a small message along the top and I click on it to allow it.) To get it to do this much, I had to play around with the CSS for the spry menu bar a little bit.
Before, when I clicked on the Live View option, a small message ran along the top in Dreamweaver saying it couldn’t find the Flash Plugin and asked me to download the most recent FlashPlayer, which I did twice. It continued to say that and then I just closed that message that kept popping up, but I think that has something to do with the problem. I then researched that problem in the Spry Framework Help and Dreamweaver Help, but couldn’t find a solution that worked. (Someone had posted a link for downloading the Flash Player for Netscape Navigator, but that didn’t seem to do anything.)
Please also note that I am using one of Dreamweaver’s pre-built layouts. I don’t know if that makes a difference with this problem.
How do I fix this problem so that it displays correctly in the LiveView? And will the message that I get on my browser about allowing blocked content appear on other people’s computer when they open my website?

IE is a big problem child among browsers. Don't use it as your default browser.
For best results, build your site to display & perform well in the web standards browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Safari & Opera. If it works in one, it should work pretty much the same in all of them.
After you're satisfied with how your site looks in the good browsers, then test in IE. If needed, add hacks or conditional comments to make IE behave. There are many web sites that discuss known bugs in IE and how to work around them.
Lastly, the active X nag screens only appear locally. Once deployed on the remote server, you won't see them.
For better answers to your layout questions, we need to see your page. Can you post a URL?

Need Help with DW 5.5 spry menu bars.

I was given an unopened/registered Creative Suite 5.5 a couple days ago so I installed it and got to work on a website for my upcoming business. I got the home page finished, and so i saved it as a template to use for the remaining pages. But as soon as I click "save" my horizontal Spry Menu Bar becomes vertical at the top of my page. If i click on the Spryhorizontalmenu.css a message appears at the top of the screen that says something along the lines of "spryhorizontalmenu.css is not stored on local disk Get" but it will not let me access the link for help and I have been stumped for days. This is my first webpage and any help for this newbee would be very much appreciated.if you have questions please ask!!!

If horizontal is turning vertical, I have a feeling what is happening is that when you publish it, it's not connected to any style sheet -- or you have the style sheets in the wrong order.
Remember, with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) the last stylesheet trumps the earlier one. That's perfectly OK if there are no conflicts, but there may be some that can cause problems.
Thus, you'd be looking for:
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="navigation.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
If navigation.css is first, styles.css may be rewriting your styles for your spry navigation.
Now, I'm going to throw you a curve. Spry has been discontinued and it "going away." I recommend you learn how to make your own navigation and Spry is usually used for drop-down navigation. You can do that in straight HTML and CSS.
Take a look at my last reply in this forum discussion for a bunch of pretty cool "do it yourself" navigation tutorials.

Help with spry menu

HI guys, very good forum! I am new to web design..
I am trying to build a web but i can not figure out how can get the menu button stay in diferent colour when is clicked and page changed.
I will give you examples
http://www.slugandlettuce.co.uk/
Let say i inserted a spry menu bar horizontal and designed it how i like. What rule would i need to add to get buttons to stay the diferent colour when they are clicked/selected. Could you please help me wth that?
Thank you very much.
Roman

The way to make the button for the current page a different colour is to add an ID to the link, and create a separate style rule for it. For example, the following menu uses "here" as the ID to indicate the current page:
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#" id="here">Item 1</a>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Item 1.1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Item 1.2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Item 1.3</a></li>
    </ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Item 3</a>
    <ul>
      <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Item 3.1</a>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#">Item 3.1.1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Item 3.1.2</a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li><a href="#">Item 3.2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Item 3.3</a></li>
    </ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item 4</a></li>
</ul>
With the following rule in the style sheet, the first item is a rusty brown:
#here {
background-color:#C60;

Aaaargh! IE + Spry Menu = My Personal Hell! Help?!
