How do I make the menu title a different color when it is the active menu in Spry horizontal menu?

How do I make the menu title a different color when it is the active menu in Spry horizontal menu?
Dreamweaver CS5.5
Apple OS X.6.8
View site at: http://dorsay-easton-indian-law.com/staging/index.html
Steps:
1. Click link to land on Home page
2. View Home link in Spry horizontal navigation menu
Actual:
Home menu title is the same color as all of the others.
Expected:
The title of the active menu is       color: #FFC.
I was hoping that a:active would give me this functionality, but that's not how it is described. Any suggestions are welcome!

Nothing I have tried in the template makes the BODY tag editable. That's why I'm wondering how to disconnect the template from the individual pages. Adding an ID to each body tag is a prerequisite of the how-to page you supplied.
You don't make the <body> tag editable in a Template.
You make attributes of the <body> tag editable.
Don't disconnect the Template from the child pages.
Specify editable tag attributes in a template
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7aa3a.h tml
In the Template:
Select the <body> tag (either in the Tag selector or click inside the <body> tag in Code View)
Modify > Templates > Make Attribute Editable
Select ID from the Attribute dropdown menu
If there's no existing ID attribute then click Add and type ID into the next dialogue box
Attribute: ID
Check the box to "Make attribute editable"
Enter anything into the Label field as a default e.g. foo
OK
Dreamweaver will change the <body> tag to read <body id="@@(foo)@@"....
Now the ID is editable
Save the Template and update the child page
In each child page:
Modify > Template Properties
Select the id attribute from the list (it's probably the only one listed)
Change its name in the box to whatever name matches your CSS rule for the active state for that page
OK
Save
Upload

    For this and other power related issues the best first step to try is resetting the System Management Controller.

  • Why do text boxes show up as different colors when they are the same color?

    I am baffled. I have created an InDesign document and I used the rectangle tool to create a blue box at the top of the document and one at the bottom. They are both filled with CMYK (100, 88, 35, 28). The one on the top of the document shows darker than the one at the bottom. I thought it was a document issue, so I created a new document. It does the same thing. I took the box at the top and moved it to the bottom and when it hit the half way point of the document, it changed colors (got lighter).
    Any suggestions? Thanks.
    Liz

    No, what was once dark is now light and vice-a-versa. See screen capture above. When I rotate the page 180 degrees, here is what I get.

  • Spry Horizontal Menu is Vertical

    I installed a Spry Horizontal Menu Bar on one of my clients
    web pages and everything was going fine.
    But then all of a sudden the horizontal menu switched to
    vertical and I can't figure out how to undo this.
    At this point even when I ask DW to insert a Spry horizontal
    menu bar onto a new page, it inserts a vertical one!
    Did I mess up the .css somehow?
    Thanks!

    Try making one on a fresh page. When you select the Spry
    Menu, you are
    asked if it's vertical or horizontal and then tells you it
    will copy files
    and you click okay.
    Does your page use the SpryHorizontalMenu.css page? Could you
    maybe be
    using the wrong one?
    If you still can't get it, could you post a link to your
    page?

  • How can I make mp3 versions of songs I have purchased? Under the 'Advance' in the menu for iTunes, that choice is dimmed.

    How can I make mp3 versions of songs I have purchased? Under the 'Advance' in the menu for iTunes, Creating mp3 version is dimmed.

    Have you quit and re-launched iTunes? Does the menu item become active then? Or are you trying to convert a protected file, which isn't possible. You can tell if the file is protected by doing a Get Info. If Kind says "protected AAC audio file" the file can not be converted in-place. It must first be burned to Audio CD which you can then import into iTunes as an MP3.

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    I have a used mac computer. I want to sync and update my iphone. Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.  This is the design of the  iphone.
    It will erase the content when you sync.
    Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?

    Great hearing for you all! I thought I was all alone this past weekend. I did learn a lot this weekend. I really like the InDesign product.(half-the-battle) But to be helped by the prestigious “Sandee Cohen” was an honor indeed.”  I ordered the InDesign CC today.  Peter, I appreciate all the feedback on Lynda too. They are loaded with lots of good videos. Derek too honed in on one of the most important aspects!  Since I have been working with Word for most of the first portion of the book this will be a big help. I looked at the comments big help ! Thanks a ton ALL!  Have a wonder day or evening whenever you read this reply.

  • Spry horizontal menu titles

    Ok here is my problem. I am using the spry horizontal menu and am trying to make a list of drop down menus. Rather than having sub menus that have flyout child menus I just want to have a list of menus that have titles.
    Basically What I want would be something like this
    Header
    Title
         Link
         Link
         Link
    Title2
         Link
         Link
         Link
    rather than:
    Header
    Title >   Link
                Link
                Link
    Title2 > Link
                Link
                Link
    However, I can't figure out how to make my titles just be plain titles, rather than links. As it stands, when I hover over my titles, spry can't differentiate them from the actual links that will go to different pages.
    I don't really care if they are still links, I can work around that. I guess my question is, is there a way to change the CSS so that some of the submenus look different then others
    (ex. titles don't change font or background color but the rest of them highlight in blue)
    Hope this makes sense,
    Thanks in advance

    Something like this?
    <ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarVertical">
      Title
      <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
    </ul>
    <ul id="MenuBar2" class="MenuBarVertical">
      Title 1
      <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Link</a></li>
    </ul>
    <script>
    var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1", {imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
    var MenuBar2 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar2", {imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});

  • How do I make Date & Time image on webpage update when page is accessed?

    I added a date function to my webpage; but it does not update each time the page is accessed. When I open iWeb to work on pages, the date IS updated; but not when accessed on the internet. Any help will be appreciated!
    IMac Power PC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    So all you want is the current date and time to be displayed on your webpage for viewers to see? Well then, one of those scripts should do the trick for sure.
    In terms of adding the javascript to your pages and having it show up in a particular location, it will involve some post-publishing editing of the HTML file for your Main page. And then everytime you change this Main page, you will have to redo your editing. It's not that big of a deal, but I just wanted to let you know.
    To add the javascript code to you pages, you will follow the usual procedure for adding external HTML to iWeb published pages...
    The general directions are as follows...
    1. Decide where you want your clock/calendar and know exactly what dimensions you need to display the whole thing.
    2. Insert a text box onto your page and adjust its size to exactly your dimensions.
    3. Type in some uniquely identifiable text like, "CALENDARCODE" without changing the font or anything else...just type it in.
    4. Publish your page with iWeb.
    5. Find the html file associated with your published page (either on your iDisk or in a folder depending on how you published) and open it in any text editor (like Microsoft Word, or Textedit, or anything that can display plain text).
    6. Scroll through the html file and locate your placeholder text, e.g. "CALENDARCODE".
    7. Replace the placeholder text with your javascript/html code and publish your page.
    That's it. You should see your Date and Time show up where you placed the text box. You might have to go back and edit the size of the text box to make it fit the Date and Time just right, but just follow the steps over.
