Horizontal Spry Menu displays incorrectly in Explorer
I looked in other discussions to find an answer to this, but I can't find the right answer.
My issue is that my Horizontal Spry Menu Bar, which displays correctly in Firefox and Chrome, displays vertically and on the left side of the page in Explorer.
I had a heck of a time getting the Menu Bar to work at all, so I'm sure there are issues in the coding, but don't know what they are.
Any help is appreciated.

The website is http://wwww.bataviabulldogfootball.tkNote that running your page through the W3C Validator gives this list of errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bataviabulldogfootball.tk%2F&charset=%2 8detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
I see that you have a very thin doctype at the top. I suggest you create a new page in Dreamweaver and copy the bit at the top of the page:
<!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">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
Then put that code in place of these lines from your current page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
I see that you have two opening <body> tags. Delete one; it is not needed. Add the preload images from the second into the first body tag and delete the second.
I see code below the closing </html> tag. Re position it before the closing </body> tag.
Because of these errors mentioned above, it was impossible to see the page. Fix and reply here when you have done so.
Also, it is not possible for me to divine what difficulty you are having. If you can please also express it in English (LOL), I'll be happy to suggest a correction for you!
Beth
p.s. Posting entire blocks of code is NEVER as helpful as giving us a link to the pages in action. I seldom read through code dumps here in the Forum.

This one is breaking my brain! I have an horizontal spry menu bar in my website that renders correctly in all browsers except ie 8 and below where it appears like an unordered list - almost like no CSS had been applied at all.

JulieHi Gramps - thanks for getting back to me - I took advantage of your advice to others with some other issues I had and they worked a charm so I was really hoping to hear from you :-)
Unfortunately removing media="only screen and (min-width: 769px) from the css call didn't resolve the problem. Check it out on my index page www.webhance.com.au/index.html Any other ideas?
Cheers, Julester -
HELP PLEASE!!! Horizontal Spry Menu
I'm having trouble with my horizontal spry menu. I have added
it and it looks great in Firefox. No problems at all, exactly how I
like it. But when previewed in Internet Explorer it doesn't show at
all. There's nothing. I've inserted the "mark of the web." Nothing.
I don't really know where I'm going wrong. I'm relatively new to
Dreamweaver and am using CS4. Can someone please help?Thank you Beth,
That has helped me a great deal, there is still a slight problem though... while the menus are falling vertically now they are not inline with the menu buttons, (slightly to the right each time).
You suggested I upload the website to a server but I am not at this stage yet and I'm not sure how to do this either! I don't know if it's possible to help me without this? My code is still the same, the only difference now being that both ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul and ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li have stated widths as you suggested; 8em.
Maybe this will help show you the problem:
I know this is really bad quality I think you can see how the sub menu isn't directly underneath the heading (highlighted in blue). I want the sub heading to be inline with the 'About us' heading, do you know how to do this?
Thank very much for the help so far,

Horizontal Spry Menu Breaks in IE6
I have created an horizontal spry menu using the spry widget
in DreamWeaver CS3. I would like the width of each menu item to
adjust to the text (width: auto;) and that works fine in current
browsers (FireFox, IE7, Opera, Netscape) but in IE6 the menu items
are displayed vertically instead of horizontally. As soon as I give
them a width, it displays appropriately in IE6, but that changes
the look. You can see the page in question at
http://www.inachordwebdesign.com/ccc/test.html
Is there any way to work around this problem with the older
IE versions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if
I need to upload any code. This is one of my first posts, so I'm
not sure what all I need to post.
Thanks!I have updated the Spry Assets as suggested, but still have
the same results. Removing the float:left for the menu bar doesn't
help with the item alignment in IE6 and actually introduces a
problem in the current version of Firefox, so that isn't the
problem either.
Any other thoughts? The only thing that seems to force the
menu bar to display horizontally in IE is to have fixed widths for
the list items in the unordered list (ul.MenuBarHorizontal li). As
soon as I change that from a defined width to auto, or remove the
width designation altogether, it falls back to a vertical
arrangement in IE6, though it works in all the more recent browsers
just fine. We'd rally prefer to let the list items size
automatically, but if there is no way around it, I'll have to try
to replicate that effect by assigning a different width to each
item. That will add a lot of extra code, unfortunately.
Thanks. -
Horizontal spry menu floats around differently in FF and IE
Hi there !!
I would like to ask you about the following:
When I use a horizontal spry menu and have it adjusted for FireFox, I get a result I can live with.
Except that the submenu's under the heading 'cultuur' and 'projekt' do not slide down altogether, but are horizontal as well...
How can I fix it so that they are positioned under its 'parent' ??
But that's my minor question, actually...
When I open my site in Internet Explorer (7 & 8) the spry menu looks different; it is far more stretched. First it also floated left, but I managed to fix that. The major problem is that the submenu's appear on the left of the page. I can't get them under their respective parents at all.
Can you please help me with that?
My site:
www.mnette.nl
(if you need more info, I'm glad to provide it )When I use the original SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, your page behaves extremely well. I realise that you wish to customise the menu to suit your site, but these modifications are to be made under strict rules so that the cross browser functionality is not compromised.
Have a look at the following 10 commandments http://dwcourse.com/dreamweaver/ten-commandments-spry-menubars.php#one
May I suggest that you ressurrect the original style sheet and work your way from there making sure that you keep to the above commandments.
If you still have problems, please come back here for further assistance.
Go Aussies and Hup Holland!

ERROR with Horizontal Spry Menu & IE 7 ONLY!
I created a new website with CS3 adding a horizontal Spry Menu across the top of the page. I am having a problem with this menu in Internet Explorer 7 ONLY! I don't have this problem with Firefox, Chrome or Safari. I wouldn't care so much but IE is the dominant browser. The site is: http://www.sunscapesolar.net. The problem is that when you mouse over any of the top-level menu titles that have sub-menus below like: PRODUCTS, SYSTEMS, INCENTIVES, etc., the body text shifts down and I get a white box popping up that says "false." I've checked everything I know but since DW created the javascript code, I don't know where to go. I have posted this problem three times and nobody has responded! Someone has to know what's wrong! Please help... I don't want to create the site from scratch. . .
Thanks in advance...
Mikefixed it myself - please ignore
-
The style of the horizontal spry menu seems as to have been turned off when on the web though is visible and functioning on CS4 Dreamweaver design and live views. I have styled the spry menu and can view it in the properties section though the style setting is there on the internet it looks as if the styles have turned off and appears unformatted vertically when it should be a cascading horizontal menu bar. Not sure where the error is, I have looked at the coding and as I'm not the most experienced with spry.....
this is the coding above the head.
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript">
<link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<!--
var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1", {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif", imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
//-->
</script>
I have noticed that SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css doesn't appear in the spry assets folder, does this matter? (not sure how to insert into the assets menu). Any help would be greatly appreciated!thanks for testing it. I'm not sure how to proceed though as the css file is in my local_sites/spry assets folder for the website. I've tried to point it to other (copies of SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css) and spry assets folder externally from the site and again internally in the root folder and seems to make little or no difference.
Your suggestion of what it should read,(sorry to sound so naive at all this) though would you mind giving a step-by-step guide on how to go about it? as I'm obviously missing something in the setup process.
thanks again for your help. -
Level 2 Submenu problems - Horizontal Spry Menu
Okay, I have successfully implemented a horizontal spry menu. Most links don't have drop downs but there are some that has submenus. For example.
Main Link
> Products
> Services
Service 1
Service 2
Service 3
etc
The 1st submenu works fine (i.e. the one that would show products and services) and the second level submenu links work okay as well (ie Service 1, 2 etc) BUT ONLY in Firefox, Safari and Chrome. I CANNOT for life nor money get the second submenu to work in ie8. It just doesn't show! I need help urgently!
The site is in design process so there isn't a URL yet. If it would be helpful, I could upload everything onto my server so the files can be viewed. Just let me know what is required.
Has anyone encountered anything like this before? All very weird...and needless to say...very annoying too.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
BenUpdate - it's a problem with opacity!
I wnated to have a submenu with 0.85 opacity. I had the following CSS in the file:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
filter:alpha(opacity=85);
-moz-opacity:0.85;
-khtml-opacity: 0.85;
opacity: 0.85;
This resulted in the second submenu disappearing in IE8...but it worked okay in all the other browsers.
Any idea for submenus with opacity in IE??

Help with a very simple horizontal Spry menu
Hi,
I’ve always received great help here and I’m sure that if I explain the issue I’m having properly I’ll get some good input.
This is to do with a very simple horizontal Spry menu, there’s no dropdown involved, only a color change on the rollover. The menu items are in a shade of blue, then on the rollover each menu item changes to a shade of red, the font color remains white for both.
What’s mentioned above works flawlessly, the problem I’m having is this … On the rollover when the menu block items turn red, I’m attempting to add a 1px border around the entire block, but when I do the block item seems to want to change its width and height slightly when it’s rolled-over. As I said, without the border it works perfect.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.steve0308 wrote:

You also have to apply the border to the 'a' css selector. If you just apply it to the 'a:hover' css selector then the tab will grow slightly bigger because its adding more width and height to the overall structure. -
Can you have a different colour horizontal Spry menu on multiple pages?
Hi,
I'm fairly new to Dreamweaver and CSS. So please forgive me ignorance.
I've created a page with a horizontal spry menu bar, and have edited it according to how I want it to look.. Brilliant!. The problem I have is I want the exact same menu bar on multiple pages but using a different colour scheme for a couple of the pages!. Is this possible? ThanksI am sorry, but I do not see that you have added the suggested code to the document as per

Spry Horizontal Menu displaying incorrectly in IE
Hey,
This is my first site designed using a spry menu. The menu looks great in Firefox and Safari, but is completely wrong in IE. I have designed the rest of the site to be centered on the page with a width of 970px.
Here is a link to the current site: http://www.charlestonsertoma.org/
What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for any insights, suggestions, or corrections!

Hello,
I am new to web building and am having trouble with my Spry menu. It won't display correctly.
www.denverphotographics.com
Please Help!!
Thanks,
Rob#1 Upload your Spry Assets folder to your remote server. The necessary CSS & JavaScript files are 404 not found. That's why your menu looks un-styled.
#2 Loud, gratuitous, unsolicited music on web sites is a very bad idea. It forces a lot of people to click away from your site and never return. It so happens I was listening to other media when I clicked on your site. That cacophony of competing noise was not the least bit enjoyable.

Spry Menu issues in Internet Explorer
I have created a Spry menu for my website and although the menu appears to look fine in Firefox and Safari, the formatting changes in Internet Explorer(IE).
1.sub menu bar is not dropping down below the main menu bar it is appearing at the top of the screen.
2.When you hover over the sub menu bar items the font should be white however in IE it is appearing as an aqua color.
3.The menu bar is not straight across the page, at the beginning and end there are chunks of the menu bar that appear white.
Are there any fixes for these issues that would help to make the menu look consistent across all browsers. The website page is
www.applmgt.net/LMNtestpage/html, below is the code. Any help would be appreciated as soon as possible.

<font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">One study reported that between 2006 and 2020, over 5,000 new plant
and facility operators will be needed in the oil sands. As construction
of more and more oil sands projects ends and production begins, there
is a change in the kind
of workers most needed. More maintenance trades are needed and less
construction trades workers are needed. Also, companies now need more
operating and technical employees, such as process operators, power
engineers, and instrumentation technicians.<p>A study recently put out by the Government of Alberta (Report on Phase
2 of the Oil Sands Labour Resource Study) found that from 2006 to 2020,
15,000 new employees would be needed for operations and maintenance
in the oil sands industry. The study says there will be a need for
over 5,000 plant and facility operators between 2006 and 2020. This
includes process operators
(noc 9232) and power engineers (noc 7351).

Over the next few years, more plants and facilities will open up and the

</div>
</font>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Opportunities</strong><br>
Recently, there have been over 80 job postings for process operators
and power engineers, so there is great opportunity in Wood Buffalo
for this occupation.
</font><font size="2"> </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">“Attrition
is one reason (for the increased need) because a lot of the older
guys are going to be coming to the age of retirement within a
very short time and they will have to be replaced,” says
John Cook, associate dean of technology with Keyano College. “The
other reason is expansion of the existing plants and new plants
starting up.”</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hazel White,
recruitment advisor with Syncrude Canada Ltd. says they recently
had a large number of process operator
positions
posted online
because of their practice to promote staff within the company.While
this is an entry-level position, most companies require that
their employees have at least a high school diploma and their fourth
class power engineering ticket. For more information on education,
see Schools
on page 4.</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </font> </p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Process operators</strong><br>
There are a few different kinds of process operators: refinery/upgrader
process operator, gas plant operator, and oil and gas pipeline operator,
to name a few. The jobs found in Fort McMurray are generally related
to mineral and hydrocarbon processing in the oil sands industry.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">When
searching for jobs, be aware that there are a number of different
job titles for process operators. Usually, the title of the job
is based on the process the employee is involved with or by the
unit
in which the employee works. See the list on this page for
other common
job titles found recently on Job Bank.<img src="images/htmlbulletinimages/1008v3.png" width="209" height="365" align="right" class="floatrightnocut"></font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Movement between
industries</strong><br>
There are industries other than oil and gas where process operators
can work, such as pulp mills and chemical plants. They may process
different products, but employers will often consider hiring workers
from these other industries.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">“We have been successful in taking people that had previously worked
in a paper mill,” says White with Syncrude. “The processes
are certainly different. They’re dealing with paper, rather
than oil, but we recently hired 18 (previous mill workers) and
it’s
my understanding that all 18 have gotten their fourth class tickets
since coming to Syncrude. We still need people with refinery experience,
but it is possible.” </font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Power engineering</strong><br>
Process operators in the Fort McMurray area generally have their
fourth or third class power engineering certificate, which allows
them to
process steam and operate boilers. Other process operators, such
as pulp mill operators, don’t necessarily need this. </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">In
order to be called a power engineer, a person must be certified
through the Alberta Boilers Safety Association to operate pressure
equipment (www.absa.ca). </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">There are
four different levels of power engineer—the lowest
is fourth class, going up to first class. For more information
on the Alberta Boilers Safety Association, contact their Fort
McMurray office
at 780-714-3067.</font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Field and control
room operators</strong><br>
There are basically two levels of process operators in Fort McMurray:
field operators and control room operators (or board operators). </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">“</font><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Primarily
when someone is starting out, they’re in the field,” says
Cook. “After a few years they can become a board
operator if they want to do that. They are more experienced
and are
kind of like
the team lead. They tell the field people what needs to
be done and if it needs manual operation, (the field operators)
go out and do it—turning
valves, adjusting an instrument to control temperature,
pressure, flow, or level.”</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Process
operators are responsible for the initial separation processes
or the special treatment
required to ensure that
impurities such
as water and sediments are removed from oil and gas in
the field. Once
separated, the oil or gas is transported by pipeline
to refineries, gas plants or markets.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Some duties
of a process operator are operating equipment to ensure that
the oil meets
specifications before it
goes into
a pipeline.
Some of the equipment could be:<img src="images/htmlbulletinimages/1008v4" width="302" height="201" class="floatrightnocut"></font></p>

</ul> <p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">“A process operator, whether in Fort McMurray, or in a gas plant
in Medicine Hat, basically processes the upstream
oil and gas until it’s
purified enough to go through a pipeline
outside the gates of the plant,” says
Cook. </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Co-op education</strong><br>
There are many power engineering programs around northern Alberta
(see below) and some process operating courses. Keyano College
offers co-ops
for both courses and one of the advantages of this program,
besides being in Fort McMurray, is the job placements which
are provided.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">“We only take as many students as we can guarantee work placement
spots, and students have to compete for a seat,” says Cook. “We
look at their educational background, their marks and then
there’s
an interview process with Keyano staff and industry people—just
like applying for a job.”</font></p> <p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Salary and benefits</strong><br>
The pay range for this occupation varies greatly depending
on experience and training, but the range is about $20
to $47 per
hour, but averages
about $30 to $40 per hour. </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Because these
positions are for ongoing production and maintenance of oil
sands projects,
employees are expected
to move to
Fort McMurray, regardless of whether they are doing shift
work or
not.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Over the
next few years, there will be many more opportunities for people
wanting to get into a career in process
operating
or power engineering.</font></p></td>
