Spry widget menu bar as a library item - problems

I created a spry vertical menu bar and made it a library item.  The original works great, however when I insert the library item into its own div tag on another page, the submenus will not pop out, either in DW or the browser view. The div tag is the correct size and I made the z index high enough. Here is the code of the page that works properly:

I understand about having the script and  link element that connect my page to the dependent files in the SpryAssets folder in the header and the JavaScript function cal at the bottom on each page. I don't know what else to do - HELP!

Welcome to the Dreamweaver world!
Well, having your index.html page at the top/root level is important, as that is the default page by which people will enter your site.
Having other pages in folders is fine...I do it all the time in order to keep departments or categories of information sorted.
One characteristic of having pages in folders is that the hierarchy of files in folders (perforce) puts them at different depths in the site.
This is not inherently a bad thing! Just one to remain aware of. When you look at your site files in the Files Panel, you can see a graphical representation of those different levels.
But the nature of a library item is that it is identical in all its instances, which is what makes it useful...change it in the library, and it changes site-wide. The down-side of that identity is that when your files are at different depths in the hierarchy, their links back to, say, home (or any other same file) will change depending on the depth. You can see this if you make a link on a page, then drag the page (in the Files Panel) to a different depth...say, into a folder when it started at root level, or vice versa. Check the link, and you will see that it automatically adapted to the new path.
Library items do not do that; they do not change, so some of your links will be 'wrong' when you refer to pages that have different paths than the ones originally set up in the library item... because of the change in hierarchy.
All this is, of course, reliant on your creation of the site in the first place, as defining the root folder's location on your computer gives Dreamweaver a starting point for handling (juggling?) all the location-information for your site's files.

  • Spry widget menu bar background image help

    Does anyone know of a good tutorial for putting a background image behind the whole menu bar, not just each button, and a tutorial for putting images behind each button.
    Also, does anyone have a good tutorial on creating some sort of gallery, with thumbnails, in dreamweaver.
    Thank you, using cs4

    You can start here for your spry menu.
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Spry/SDG/index.html
    You can also use a background image in the container that you have your SM in. You can use in in conjuction with, or in place of images for the menu.
    For the gallery, I would look at third party products.

  • 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 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.
    You will also see what Ken Binney has said
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
    display: block;
    cursor: pointer;
    color: #000;

  • 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 Vertical Menu Bar Styling Issues

    Hello all,
    I'm having CSS issues with a spry vertical menu bar. The Menu
    is fairly basic but, it has some odd sizing requirements specified
    by it's designer. The designer would like the sub menu items to all
    have different widths that correspond to the actual content within
    them. Here is sample.
    http://staging.rm306.com/cycle/
    The menu seen at the page above was not build with Spry. It
    was build with another tool and has considerable problems with
    consistent browser display.
    Can anyone give me a short list of styles and where they
    should be applied that might help me achieve this reletively simple
    effect?
    I've tried to use Spy menu bars in my projects in the past
    but, there was always some sticking point. I'd like this time to be
    the winner if possible.
    Thanks for your time and patience in advance,
    Kevin

    The sample page I posted came after searching for an easy
    "how to do it". The closest I found to a tutorial was this:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spryte_menu.html
    The author designs and implements a spry menu with Fire Works
    graphics. The last section describes how to modify the existing CSS
    for multiple levels. Yet I found the sample page easier to follow.
    I hope this helps though.

  • Question on spry vertical menu bar backgrounds

    I have a spry vertical menu bar.  The menu branches off to 3 or 4 levels in some cases.  When you mouse over the menu structure the menu path that you have selected turns a different color.  I acheived this by giving
    ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemHover, ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover, ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
    a different text color and also a different background color using CSS.  The thing I want to acheive now is to somehow make listings within my menu structure that are clickable links a slightly different color.  This is to signal that a menu selection that is currently being hovered over is indeed clickable (and linked to another page).  For example, most of my clickable menu listings are at the end of a menu branches.  That is to say the menu listing at the 1st and 2nd level are not clickable (linked to another page) but the listing that falls at the end of the menu branch is clickable.
    How can I make the menu listings that link to other pages a different color then the other menu listings that do not link anywhere but are instead just the preceding struture to get you to the end of the menu structure?
    Currently menu listings which merely branches off and do not link to a clickable page have a reference of "#" as shown below.
    <li><a href="#">Menu_1</a>
    This "#" was put there by Dreamweaver so I just followed the pattern.  Clickable menu listings reference another HTML page as you would expect.

    Nancy,
    Thanks for the reply (it helped me know how to approach it).  It looks like editing
    ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover
    will give me the behavior I was looking for.  I don't know if that is what I want to do now that I look at it though.  Using different colored backgrounds when hovering over links seems to contrast too much (even though some are clickable and others are not).  Perhaps I didn't have the right color choice.
    Instead I thought about emphasizing links that are clickable (with some type of visual variation) as opposed to making the hovering background color path to those clickable links different.  I experimented with placing a 1 inch border around links in the menu that can be clicked but I am not sure if I like it or not.
    I am using a background color of #7D120C for the hover.  Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

  • 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 Menu w/ templates or library items

    I LOVE the new spry menu, but I'm frustrated with how to
    insert an existing menu onto subsequent pages. I tried to add the
    menu to the library but that didn't seem to work. Should I use a
    template instead? I can't seem to find documentation on this...am I
    missing something? Any advice?

    Not sure what that is...tried to look it up in the help
    file...is it this?
    var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1",
    {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif",
    imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
    If so, how do I attach it? Also, how do I edit once it's a
    library item? I seem to lose that lovely spry interface in the
    property manager.
    If there is any documentation that you could point me to I'd
    be grateful. I'm afraid I'm not finding it.

  • My spry horizontal menu bar is now displaying vertical. How do I fix it?

    My horizontal spry menu bar displays correctly at http://www.matthewvandyke.com/ar/photos/ but displays vertical at http://www.matthewvandyke.com/ar/about.html.  It started doing this a few days ago and I am not sure why.
    Can anyone take a look at this code and tell me why this would be happening?
    Here is the code:

    SpryMenuBar.js
    This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar.  You should have no need
    to edit this file.  Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
    used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
    menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
    showing that submenu until the timer fires.

    I have not seen your error in either my IE or my chrome. I do note that you are using a "strict" Document Type Declaration.
    You might try a transitional DTD, which should be more forgiving than the strict:
    <!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">
    Other than that, I don't see anything particular (because I don't see the error, either) that would cause the menu to drop vertically instead of horizontally.

  • Styling a spry horizontal menu bar

    Hi
    I've been trying to do some more advanced things with styling my spry menu bar, and have not found answers to the questions I have online anywhere. I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and am wondering if I can change borders, widths and colors specifically, for individual items in my submenu list?
    To be moare clear; I want each item in the list to be separated with a thin white border, but I want the last item in the list to have a thick gold border.
    Please let me know if this is possible.
    Thanks.

    Anything that is possible using CSS is possible with your Spry Menu. Just have a look at the following example based on a standard Spry menu.

  • 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.

    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.
    http://www.wusf.usf.edu/Header_Nav_Footer_newStyleSheet.cfm
    so if anyone has any advice I'd much appreciate it. Also i'm
    using 1px width on my borders no decimals.

  • Spry vertical menu bar positioning issue in IE

    I have been trying to fix a problem with my spry menu bar and have been looking for answers at several spry forums. I have modified my vertical spry menu to open submenus above and to the right of the main menu. It works in Opera, Firefox and Safari and opens below in IE. I tried changing the positioning from absolute to relative and that made it position itself below in all browsers. So, by deductive reasoning there seems to be something going on with IE when it reads the absolute positioning, is there a fix for this? You can see my website at raydlett.com the menubar is called STUDIO.
    Here is my vertical menubar CSS:

    I have also attached the index.html file that uses the modified "STUDIO" Spry MenuBar2
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    That makes sense, tooltips are tooltips, and appear at the tip of the mouse...But those "submenu triggers" can be simply styled links (as they are in a spry menu)...don't need to be swaps or images or image maps.
    What about a using show/hide behavior? Click the STUDIO and the menu pops up adjacent in an apDiv. Click a link. Or click the x to close the apDiv.
    You know this is just an exercise to run through all the Javascript and Spry that is in Dreamweaver, eh?
    By the way, just providing a link to your page is quite all you need to do. You don't need to attach your files or show pictures of them...by providing a link, I can save a web page in its entirety and open it in Dreamweaver.

  • 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.
