Accordion Menu - Submenu position issue

Hello,
I've created an accordion menu that resides in the top right corner of my website. I seem to be getting various undesired results when previewing the site.
Desired layout: Build mode
Undesired Result: Page Preview
Undesired Result: Site Preview
The top level sites work fine but when I move the submenu to the left of the menu using the X position, then preview the page or site, the submenus show up either right over the menu or way off to the left of the site, almost completely off the page. I have no idea why, please help.
Jeff

Hi Sanjit, thank you for your reply.
The first image is a from the Design View, the second is a page preview in browser and the final image is a site preview in browser. My default browser is Safari (also testing in Chrome however).
If I leave the menu with default settings, the submenus appear off the site's live area and when I preview they do not show up at all. Presumabley they are off to the right side of the site.
The menu is and has been set to "All Pages" and not manually throught my build. Other than plaving the vertical menu widget within the accordion widget, it is more or less default with exeption of some styling.
I will try to rebuild the menu and see if the problem is still occuring. If you have any further sugestions I would be happy to hear them.
Thnaks again

Menu Bar SubMenu position issue

Hi,
I have an horizontal menu on my site which works, but I'm
starting a new version of the site and there my submenus display in
a weird position (in IE only) and with a transparent background.
I read about the z-index bug, but couldn't find or understand
the solution.
I would appreciate if someone could have a look and help me:
Current version with the menu bar working fine:
http://www.thebaysoccer.com
Test page of the new version where my problem appears:
http://www.thebaysoccer.com/new%20tbs/test.html
Thanks!

Hello,
The trouble is the fact that IE applies text-align:center to
more things
than just text.
You applied it to the li CSS. This not only centers the text
in IE, but also
the <ul> (which are your submenus) within these
<li>.
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 12px;
position: relative;
text-align: center; <********
cursor: pointer;
width: auto;
float: left;
white-space: nowrap;
You also have it in the ul.MenuBarHorizontal style.
So, in IE the left edge of the <ul> (submenu) is
aligning with the center of
the <li> it is contained in.
That's why the sub menu drops down with the left edge at the
middle of the
main nav "button".
Remove those "text-align:center" rules.
To center your menu text, apply text-align:center to the link
style instead,
like so:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
background-color: #333;
padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
color: #EEE;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
As far as the submenu background, notice "fixed width" in the
comment line
above the following rule in the spry CSS.
You had yours set to auto.
Try this:
/* Menu item containers are same fixed width as parent */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li
width: 10em;
background-color: transparent;
Take care,
Tim

Horizontal menu submenu display issue in IE9

I inserted a Spry horizontal menu into a page in Dreamweaver CS5 then edited it to display the way I need it to look. It looks great in FF, Safari, Chrome and Opera. In IE9 the drop down submenu items have too much (vertical) space between them. This is probably because I added a positioning element of "top: 20px" to make the menu center (vertically) correctly over the background image. I have tried any number of alternatives and this version of the CSS is just perfect except in IE. I have searched for days for similar issues but haven't found anything to help.
The page is http://myparlour.net/DashboardDDS /collections.html
The site CSS is http://myparlour.net/DashboardDDS/dashboard_dds.css
The Spry menu CSS is http://myparlour.net/DashboardDDS/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
I would appreciate any help in resolving this problem.

Horizontal Menu - Submenu position

I have delayed the new version of my site because I was
looking for the solution, but now, I couldn't wait anymore and it
is online with the following problems on the horizontal menu bar:
1- On IE, the submenus' position is wrong and becomes
vertical when mouse is hovering.
2- On all browsers (those I could test, at least) the second
level of submenus appears above the first level, hiding it. (see
"amateur" submenus for exemple)
My website: www.thebaysoccer.com
in case it helps, I copied the css below.
Thanks in advance for your help! Sorry if the question looks
stupid, but I'm learning and I didn't know anything about HTML when
I started the site...Any help would be appreciated!

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 Vert Menu - Submenu position in IE

Hi - I've waited for a week for an answer from the Spry
Framework discussion forum and no answer, so hope to get one here.
I've searched through numerous posts, but none of the solutions
seemed to work.
The problem: Spry vertical menu, when a secondary page is
loaded with the submenu visible, the sub moves to the top of the
div. It won't stay aligned with it's parent menu item. I tried
updating to Spry 1.6 and had more problems so backed up to 1.4.
Works fine in FF, Safari.
Sample Link: <

Thanks for any help.

Any help out there?

Accordion menu issue

I was using the super widget idea for a site that I am working on. I am using an accordion drop down and have a verticle menu inside for the toolbar on my master page. Most of the sub pages have another horizontal menu directly below it. I originally wanted the accordion to overlap everything, but it would just drop down behind everything else on other pages when it was opened. Now I have it set on not overlapping, so everything shifts down. That works, except for the horizontal menu directly below it. That horizontal stays fixed, but bleeds through the accordion menu.
The accordion menu is the top layer on my homepage master. In an ideal world I would love it to just overlap everything below it. If that isn't an option, I just need to figure out how to get the second menu bar to bleep through that accordion verticle menu. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Spry Menu 2.0 issues in IE7..   yes another one!

I have CS4, and have used the widget browser to create a Spry Menu 2.0 and have imported it to my site. It displays fine in every browser except for IE7. I have been reading a LOT of threads on issues similiar to this one, so I'm prepared to tell everyone I know to upgrade to at least IE8!! However, I would like to fix it if possible. The menu bar is located in an include file and is attached to all my pages through the php function. I have made zero changes to the css code since I imported it into the site.
I also am wondering why there are two css pages for the menu bar.??
Any help would be appreciated..
One of the pages on the site is: michaelandrewshairstudio.com/offers.php
That page is: ( I have taken out some meta tags and content, but the div's are all still in place.) I also deleted some commented tags by accident when I imported it..

/* A note about multiple classes in IE6.
* Some of the rules above use multiple class names on an element for selection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu" (MenuItemWithSubMenu),
* giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in a selector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6 ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets the specificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs as significant. To get around this
* problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.
* Since there are a lot of these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes for modern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class
* syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where
* it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden.
* So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule. We follow this with the single-class rule that it would
* mistakenly override, making sure the misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins.
* We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for
* the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the
* css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support.
* If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditional comments for these rules.

I love your subject line
Spry Menu 2.0 issues in IE7..   yes another one!
It is us as designers/developers that need to create websites for all current browsers. No sense in blaming the browsers, although in this case we could blame Spry Menu 2.0.
Problem with that is that Spry Menu 2.0 has been successfully tested in all modern browsers.
This leaves us with just one possibility, the designer/developer has erred somewhere along the line. After having checked the support files (JS and CSS) and looked at the markup, we now go to the constructor and see the following
var MenuBar = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar2("#MenuBar", {
    widgetID: "MenuBar",
    widgetClass: "MenuBar MenuBarLeftShrink",
    insertMenuBarBreak: true,
A comma after the last value.
I also am wondering why there are two css pages for the menu bar.??
One is the standard CSS for the menubar and under normal circumstances, should not be touched; the other is for the convenience of the designer/developer so that he/she can tweak the menubar to suit. If you wish, you can combine both. In all cases, keep in mind that the CSS for the standard (basic) menubar should come first, so that the other CSS can override the first.
This needs to be corrected in your document

CS3 Missing KBSCE area for this panel's Windows menu submenu

Missing KBSCE area for this panel's Windows menu submenu. Does anybody recognize this assert message? I have found posts from other people with the exact same problem, like this one for example: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1303048#1303048 , but no solutions to it. We have the exact same problem, our menus are listed under the Windows Menu Product area in the Keyboard shortcuts editor and they do not have the “ourPrefix :”. I assume there is something wrong with the resource declarations but we are unable to locate a sdk sample or anything in the documentation about this.

First, you need to realize that resetting preferences will put them back to ground zero, not the way they were the last time you were happy.
You can try the key combination again and see if you are any faster (we're talking near instantaneous) or you can open your user profile, show hidden files and folders and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 4.0 and rename the two files InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData.
In your case, a better first option, I think, would be to try System Restore which you'll find in System Tools under the Programs > Accessories heading on the start menu. Go back to the first restore point before you tried to open the file, if you can.
In any case, for you to open a CS3 .inx file you will need to be fully patched the the last CS2 update, and you should expect to see some text reflow issues, as well as missing any CS3 features that the author used which aren't supported in CS2.

Links inside an accordion menu

Hello, im almost done with my site, but i have encounterd a problem, I did an accordion menu for the main design, works perfectly, but inside one of the menus i have a gallery, ive tried diferent options, but my main problem is that every time i click any of the different button options ive created all my page scrolls to the top. Its like everything inside the accordion menu is making the page scroll back to the top! how can i disable that for the buttons inside the main accordion menu. Thank you.

Hello, the problem im having is in the mobile site. here are the two versions, english and spanish. You will ser the problem in the portfolio section under recent projects. The two versions have a diferente type of galery bit both have the same issue. Once you click any buttons under projects the page automatically scrolls up.

Spry Accordion menu opens on page load then closes

Hello,
I'm having issues with a SPRY Accordion menu loading with all of the tabs open, then closing once the page finishes loading.
Example page is here:
http://thesparkmachine.com/mca2009/academics
(site is still being worked on, so forgive any oddities)
Is this something that is occurring because of the large amount of material loading on the page at once? The site is Joomla!-based, and there are close to a dozen modules on the page, plus an random background image script.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks!

I see you have also fixed your menu sections linking..
But i still wanted to give you some advice on why it opens and closes.
If you check out the source of your page, you will see that the constructor for your accordion is at the bottom of the page. When the browser loads the page, it parses from top to bottom, so it has parsed the accordion markup. But not yet the constructor for the accordion, so once it finally done with parsing the rest of the markup it finds the constructor and executes it.
What would have helpt, if you just moved the <script> with the constructor to directly under the accordion. So when the accordion markup has been parsed the brower directly executes the scripts.

Vertical Menu & Submenu

Does anyone know how to create (or if there is a widget out there in the market somewhere) a vertical menu that can contain submenu items that expand and push down (like an accordion), but that will stay fully open (expanded) once a submenu item is selected (thus allowing selection of another submenu item without having to return to the parent menu item. My specific objective is to have a vertical with "Home", "Galleries", "About", etc. with individual galleries in the expandable (on click and/or rollover) area below Galleries, but that remain open once a specific gallery is selected. I've worked various tries, and the only way I can come close is to have state buttons inside the drop-down below an accordion menu item, but that won't stay open when any of the buttons are selected.
The only examples I can find are copyrighted by others, so I am hesitant to reference/show them here as examples. Any help would be appreciated.

Wobbling image under accordion menu

So the saga continues :)
I am using an accordion menu (about 150px x 300px) on the
right hand side of my page. It has three items when each one opens
downward they contain separate links within. Directly beneath this
accordion menu is a simple jpeg image. The problem is when I use
the accordion menu the image underneath it (not a background image,
it's positioned under the menu) wobbles as the accordion effect
animation of opening takes place. It looks almost as though the
accordion effect is coming out from the top of the image (which it
is not because the image is placed some distant from the bottom of
the menu.
Is there a way I can prevent this from happening?

Well it seems this anomaly only occurs in Safari. What I have
noticed in Firefox though is a white dotted border goes around the
spry accordion menu after it's been activated, presumably because
it's Ajax. I'm not sure how to prevent that from happening.
So far I'm not terribly satisfied with this spry
widgets.

Accordion menu spry link not working

I built an accordion menu spry using Dreamweaver CS5. I noticed that the navigation labels on the accordion menu cannot be linked to pages. Please see the Overview link on the accordion menu and notice that it does not not go to 'overview.html' as I added in the code. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I see this in your spry css file - you might try removing the two user-select entries
* NOTE:
* This rule uses -moz-user-select and -khtml-user-select properties to prevent the
* user from selecting the text in the AccordionPanelTab. These are proprietary browser
* properties that only work in Mozilla based browsers (like FireFox) and KHTML based
* browsers (like Safari), so they will not pass W3C validation. If you want your documents to
* validate, and don't care if the user can select the text within an AccordionPanelTab,
* you can safely remove those properties without affecting the functionality of the widget.
.AccordionPanelTab {
     background-color: #FFF;
     border-bottom: dotted .5pt gray;
     margin: 0px;
     padding: 6px;
     cursor: pointer;
     -moz-user-select: none;
     -khtml-user-select: none;
