Spry Horizontal Menu Bar width problem in IE and Safari

Hi Everyone,
I am working on a template and have used Spry Horizontal Menu for quite a few sites now. This one is giving me problems though on the width of the navigation bar. It moves the last right menu item to the next row on the left in Safari and IE and Chrome, but looks perfect in Firefox. I'm using a googlefont for the text. As I have quite a few menu items I have them set to 'auto' width. Is there a fix to make all the others look like it does in Firefox or do I need to shorten my menu items by changing titles/reducing padding, etc.?
Working page can be viewed at www.ikanizi.com/index2.html
Many thanks.

Anyone who increases their browser's text size will see the same thing. For wiggle room, reduce top-level links from 11 to no more than 7.

Spry Horizontal Menu Bar not working in IE

Hi! I am new to this forum and new to Dreamweaver. I recently used Dreamweaver to build a website to display my digital portfolio. I am not very good at this and don't understand much of this works. I inserted a spry horizontal menu bar for my navigation. I did change the original set up to have the background the colors I wanted and I also changed the size so it would go across the top of my page. This looks fine in Firefox and Safari but in Internet Explorer the bar displays vertically, which does not look good. Can anyone look at my code and tell me how I can fix this problem?
I appreciate any help I can get with this as I have tried everything I know.

Spry Horizontal Menu bar - submenu position

I'm new to spry so apologies in advance if this has been
posted before.......
I'm putting together a new site using the spry horizontal
menu bar - I've managed to put together a CSS format which works
well in both FireFox and IE7 EXCEPT for the position of the
sub-menus below the main menu bar. IE7 seems to position the sub
menu relative to the top right corner of the parent menu item.
Firefox seems to position it relative to the bottom left corner -
and I can't find a solution which works for both browsers. Any
ideas?

You must have fixed it in the meantime as I see no problem.

Spry Horizontal Menu Bar in IE

Hello,
I had looked at the forums for a possible solution to this, and none of the answers I have found work for me. I have a spry horizontal menu bar with a background image. It works in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox but on IE the background image does not show. There is only a white background. I have changed ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE to have a background image but it still doesn't show in IE.
This is the website: fwmedpeds.net
I am very new to this and any help is appreciated.

If you go to your online SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css which can be found here http://fwmedpeds.net/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, you will see the last few lines as I have previously quoted.

Problem endering Spry Horizontal Menu Bar in IE7...help.

I have created a horizontal menu bar in DW CS4 using Spry. When I view using live view, everything is working. When I test in Firefox and Nomad, everything renders as expected. I have tested the page www.ridedesigns/newsite/index.htm using IE7 on both a Windows XP and Vista platform. The problem is that the dropdown menu items fall on a layer behind the company logo (or so it appears) and are only partially visible behind that jpg.
What have I done incorrectly, or is this a known bug?

Here's how I changed the top of your page. Add these two divs:
#menudiv {
    width: 868px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: auto;
    text-align: center;
#maintable {
    width: 868px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: auto;
    clear: both;
And use them this way:
<BODY>
<PRE> </PRE>
<div id="menudiv">all of your menu markup here, as you have it now</div>
<div id="maintable">
<TABLE width="868" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" id="template">
    <TBODY>
      <TR valign="bottom">
        <TD height="68" colspan="5" align="left"><IMG src="./index_files/web_banner.gif" width="648" height="73" alt="Ride Designs"></TD>
      </TR>
...rest of table as it is now, followed by
</div>
In my analysis, by placing the menubar in the table, it was sinking into the universe of the table and could not rise above it with z-index. In fact, in IE, the list items in the submenus were taking on the height of the <tr> as well as falling down behind lower table rows.
By putting both the menubar and the table into identically-positioned divs...centered by using the margin: auto; on both sides...they will sit adjacent to each other and not interfere. It did not function correctly with both menubar and table in the same div.
Thanks for letting me dig this through you.

Spry horizontal menu: submenu background problem in IE7

Hello,
I am using the Spry horizontal menu in this website: http://www.isis-papyrus.com
It works perfectly on all current version browsers, but in IE7 the white submenu background only shows behind the actual text for each link and not to the border of the submenu box.
I modified the css to allow for dynamic sizing for each submenu (see below).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Best, Oliver

Thank you so much for your quick answer Beth!
You solved half my problem!
I added the bg-color to the li and ul styles of the submenus (css below) and now the white background shows correctly in IE7.
The only thing I still would like to resolve: The hover style for the menu items (inverse bg and text colors) only works for the actual text of the link and not for the entire width of the submenu box.
Any suggestions?
Thank you again.

CS3 Fix for Spry Horizontal Menu bar/drop boxes positioning bug in IE?

I have searched threads to see if there is an "easy" solution for the incorrect positioning of horizontal menu bar drop boxes in IE browser older versions(mine showed up at the top of the screen and mysteriously included the word "false" in older IE ONLY). Is there a downloadable patch or quick fix for this problem at this point in time? I saw an available download for a newer version of Spry but seems like overkill for this small issue. I am not an experienced web designer or computer geek, but can follow specific directions I am given. The horz bar with drop boxes showed correctly in Firefox and other browsers but not in older(?) IE. For now, I've simply removed the drop boxes to make the page look respectable, but boy did it look good with those boxes. I am hoping somebody can talk to me without lots of teckkie terms. Though I appreciate and love all of you tecs out there.

You really should install the Spry update as it fixes some IE issues that the earlier versions of Spry had. Then use the Dreamweaver Command menu to update your Spry files within your site and you should have the latest and be ready to go. If you're still having issues you may want to also check out the Spry forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/spry
Let us know if the update doesn't solve your particular problem.

Horizontal Menu Bar Placement Problem in IE

I am having problem determining which CSS rule is causing a
horizontal menu bar to show correctly in the Dreamweaver Design
view, correctly in Firefox, but incorrectly in IE7. I have a
background image in the header, but the menu bar cover it up on the
left side in IE7. Any thoughts?
And while we are at it, any reason that the button hover
color touches the header logo in Firefox (as desired) but is
dropped down several pixels in IE?
I have attached a link to the site for viewing. I have also
attached the CSS code that the menu is using.

Spry Horizontal Menu Bar background image IE8 not visible.

I have a slight problem with a horizontal menu bar that I have placed on my site and am hoping someone can help me. It views fine in Firefox, however in IE8 the top menu background image is white instead of the image I specified. Firefox image is below.
Below is IE8 image lacking top menu background:
I am a novice and this is driving me nuts. How can something view fine in Firefox and loose the image in IE explorer? I must have a code incorrect, I know it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

At the bottom of SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, you will find

Change the background colour to transparent and all is well.

Spry horizontal menu bar and accordion panels not working when published

Hi,
I'm a newbie to Dreamweaver and have been asked to design an intranet site. On the site, I added both Spry widgets for a horizontal menu bar and an accordion panel. Both of these widgets work in preview, however, neither work when I publish. I uploaded the Spry asset folder (with all the CSS and JS files) to the remote server, but still no luck. What am I missing?
Thanks.

Despite of what you have staed, my bet is on the fact that the SpryAssets folder and/or the included files are not being found by your page..
Open the site in FF, click on view Source and in the source code click the link to the JS file. If it can be found, it will show the content of the file and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that the page can find the file.
If it does not show the content, you need to correct that.
Good luck.

How do I change height of the Spry Horizontal Menu Bar?

Hi,
I've been playing around with the Spry menu bar for 3 days now and I can't seem to increase the height of the spry menu bar the way I want. It increases when you enlarge the text, but I don't want it to get too big, but I still need to increase the height of the box. I also tried it in the properties. The box's height will increase but the text stays at the top of the box which looks really weird because I want it to be centered. Also, when do this, the submenus increase along and I want them to stay the same size.
I truly hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Why does Spry horizontal menu bar displays as a list?

I createda spry hoizontal menu bar which looks great on my workspace but when I preview it in a browser, it displays as an unordered list.Does anyone have an explanation for what has happened and how to correct it?

It sounds like the path to the support files - SpryMenuBar.js and/or SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css - is not correct.

Spry Horizontal menu bar borders not showing in IE6/IE 7 but ok in Mozilla!

I am hoping someone can help me! I have built a spry menu
with CS 3 and have altered the CSS file to customise colours etc.
the problem I am encountering is that I have specified white
borders around the menus items and sub menus which look perfectly
fine in Mozilla Firefox but when I check IE 6 & 7 the borders
have disappeared! I am hoping someone you may have a workaround or
any reason this might happen.

slash in float is to keep IE 5.0 from parsing */

I am having the same problems in IE7. I'm using the latest
version of everything (Spry 1.6.1 and javascript file version 0.12)
and at first I was having the problem on my drop down menus
appearing horizontal with all the correct styles but when I changed
the rule ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul to position: relative; the drop
downs appear vertical now but I have no beige border around the
whole ul anymore and I'm getting white space inbetween list items.

so if anyone has any advice I'd much appreciate it. Also i'm
using 1px width on my borders no decimals.
