ANN: free skins for Spry Menu Bar
Spry's Menu Bar is a pretty good widget, but it ships with a
somewhat lame
CSS. You can download a set of skins that mimic Office 2003
look and feel:

I hope it will inspire people to share more skins

Rounded Corners for Spry menu bar
Can I use css to style spry menus to make rounded corners?
Tried inserting a background image into the menu cell in css but
didn't work. Found tutorials to make rounded corners on text boxes
but nothing specific to spry menus.
Also can I make the drop down menu drop "up" rather than
down?
Thanks!

Trouble with Spry Menu Bar Not Opening on Hover
I have two Spry Menu Bars on this one page. They were both working fine. Now the menu bar on the top right is not opening on rollover. I have uploaded the Spry .JS and .CSSfiles to the server.Could it be that I added 2 to the names of the CSS styles, but not all of them? I just tested them all with 2 after the style name, and it didn't fix it.
I also noticed that the ability to edit these two navigation bars using the Property Inspector went away. I can't seem to click on them to edit. Now I edit them through the code only.
Rebuild it on another page, and paste in the code?
Suggestions?
ALso, getting an error message on line 2 of HTML below, which I don't remember editing.
I will paste the template page HTML, then the CSS, then the Javascript Spry file for Menu Bar Horizontal. I did not edit the JS file at all.
Link to the uploaded files: http://www.sproulcreative.com/filetest/panin_website/
Thanks for any help you can offer.

<h1>A Tradition Food And Sports: <br />
CC & Panino’s Love of Hockey Runs From Colorado to Minnesota</h1>
<h4>Byline: By Jim Bainbridge, The Gazette</h4>
<p>No Colorado Springs business has had a deeper bond with the Colorado College hockey program during the past three decades than Panino’s Restaurant, a connection seen on its walls, in its clientele and in its bloodlines.<br />
Panino’s has been tied to the school’s hockey program since the restaurant was bought in 1974 by former CC All-America hockey player Tony Frasca. It’s still the place to be on game day a generation later with his son Mike running things. <a href="http://daily.gazette.com/Repository/ml.asp?Ref=VGhlR2F6ZXR0ZS8yMDA1LzAzLzI5I0FyMDMzMDI=&Mo de=HTML&Locale=english-skin-custom"><span class="smalltext">Click here to view entire article.</span></a><br />

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.

Since there is nothing there, it's like trying to click a link that is outside your home while you are staring through a window. Personally with that page setup you have now I really don't see a need for absolutely positioned elements. But if you feel you will require them as part of your design you need to ensure the z-index of your menu layer is greater than that of the body elements positioned below it.

Question: My spry menu bar is not displaying correctly in Dreamweaver
Hello,
I am new to Dreamweaver CS5, so coding isn't my area of expertise. My problem with my spry menu bar is that it does not display the tabs on the menu bar correctly. When I try to apply new changes to the CSS of the horizontal menu bar, half of the tabs will change and the other half will not. Also, I am unable to drag and move the menu bar itself around, a function that I was once able to do before. At times, only one tab of the menu bar will display itself, without any of the other tabs as well.
I have a hunch that my problems stem from some coding errors in the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, and possibly in the SpryMenuBar.js. On the CSS Styles panel, my SpryMenuBarHorizontal.CSS list reads as follows:
I also have a hunch that something about this line-up is also incorrect, but I don't exactly know what the problem is.
Here is what my coding for my SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css looks like right now:

And here is what my SpryMenuBar.js coding looks like right now too:
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.

If anyone could possibly steer me on the right direction with this, I'd be very grateful! I've been struggling with this for about a month now and I feel like I may have only made the situation worse.
I'm not sure if I have to keep making a new spry assets folder in my website or not or if I have to drag and drop the spry assets into the root folder. I have restarted my website over at least a dozen times by now. I have tried changing folders, dragging and dropping various spry assets folders everywhere and I have also uninstalled and reinstalled my copy of Dreamweaver CS5 in the hopes of getting my spry horizontal menu bar to act normal. I am completely new at Dreamweaver and I really, really need some help with this.
Thanks!I haven't been able to get my site posted up yet. Here is a link to it anyway:andrearosales.com
I will be working on connecting my files up to my server. At the moment, here are some screen shots of some messages that I am getting when I am saving my file.
I'm not sure what to make of these messages. I tried to put a new spry horizontal menu bar on my main page, and when it appeared, it displayed as a spry vertical menu bar.
Here is a picture of what it looks like:
I"m going to refer to the links that were suggested to me though. I'm not sure if pictures of the code will help to solve my problem. I'm going to try again to connect my files to my server though. -
SPRY menu bar not working in IE 9
Hey! I recently just finished building my very first website using Dreamweaver CS5.5! It looks really great and works perfectly in firefox and safari however the SPRY menu bar does not work in IE 8 or 9. Does anyone know what i can do to fix this without messing up how the website looks in firefox and safari?
thanks,
Toby
here is a copy of my 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.

<p>Integrated Sensors is the first company in the world to apply the high gain, high-performance advantages of low cost PDP-TV (plasma display panel) technology to radiation detection. This has resulted in the development of what is now known as the Plasma Panel Sensor (PPS), which has been called a <em>revolutionary</em> technology by U.S. government scientists. </p>
<p>Integrated Sensors with seven issued patents holds all of the core intellectual property - which is seminal in scope - on the PPS radiation detector technology. The PPS could well prove to be a transformational technology for a number of <em>multibillion</em> dollar industries, ranging from radiation therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, to medical imaging, to homeland security. </p>
<p>With a secure IP and patent position established, and an international collaborative team involving over a dozen world-class scientists, and with substantial research investment by the U.S. government, Integration Sensors is now transitioning to the commercialization of its technology.</p>

Spry Menu Bar Submenus Not Showing
Hi!
This is the first time I have ever used Spry .My Horizontal Spry Menu Bar Submenus are not working in ANY browsers whatsoever and I'm not sure whats wrong. My website is www.poor2chic.com. I have pasted a copy of my SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css as well as the .js code and the source code :
@charset "UTF-8";
/* SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css - version 0.6 - Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1 */
/* Copyright (c) 2006. Adobe Systems Incorporated. All rights reserved. */

/* The outermost container of the Menu Bar, an auto width box with no margin or padding */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal

padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;

width: auto;
/* Set the active Menu Bar with this class, currently setting z-index to accomodate IE rendering bug: http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/meuk/IE-zindexbug.html */
ul.MenuBarActive

/* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are a fixed width */

text-align: left;
cursor: pointer;
width: 8.55em;
float: left;
/* Submenus should appear below their parent (top: 0) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
z-index: 1020;
cursor: default;
width: 8.2em;
position: absolute;
left: -1000em;
/* Submenu that is showing with class designation MenuBarSubmenuVisible, we set left to auto so it comes onto the screen below its parent menu item */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
left: auto;
/* Menu item containers are same fixed width as parent */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li
width: 8.2em;
/* Submenus should appear slightly overlapping to the right (95%) and up (-5%) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul ul
position: absolute;
margin: -5% 0 0 95%;
/* Submenu that is showing with class designation MenuBarSubmenuVisible, we set left to 0 so it comes onto the screen */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
left: auto;
top: 0;
DESIGN INFORMATION: describes color scheme, borders, fonts
/* Submenu containers have borders on all sides */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
border: 1px solid #CCC;
/* Menu items are a light gray block with padding and no text decoration */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
background-color: #03C;
padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
color: #FFF;

/* Menu items that have mouse over or focus have a blue background and white text */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a:hover, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a:focus

/* Menu items that are open with submenus are set to MenuBarItemHover with a blue background and white text */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemHover, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
background-color: #9D9DFD;
color: #FFF;
SUBMENU INDICATION: styles if there is a submenu under a given menu item
/* Menu items that have a submenu have the class designation MenuBarItemSubmenu and are set to use a background image positioned on the far left (95%) and centered vertically (50%) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenu

BROWSER HACKS: the hacks below should not be changed unless you are an expert
/* HACK FOR IE: to make sure the sub menus show above form controls, we underlay each submenu with an iframe */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal iframe

z-index: 1010;
filter:alpha(opacity:0.1);
/* HACK FOR IE: to stabilize appearance of menu items; the slash in float is to keep IE 5.0 from parsing */

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.

Spry Menu Bar 2.0 auto-width issues for sub items
I am testing the spry menu bar 2.0 and it displays perfectly in IE 9.0/8.0 but the auto width is not working for Firefox (testing 3.6.16), Chrome (testing 10.0.648.205), or Safari for windows. Content is being driven by PHP and MySQL. This is the first time I have come across something working better in IE than the other browsers. Great job on the IE patch script. How do I get the other browsers to cooperate? I moved the in page CSS generated by the widget browser to it's own CSS (called spry_menubar2_horizontal_sample_layout.css) and am including the files below in the head. The links below point to an exact copy of the files as the working copy of the files is located elsewhere.
SpryMenuBasic.css - link
SpryMenuBasicSkin.css - link

SpryDOMUtils.js - link
SpryDOMEffects.js - link
SpryWidget.js - link
SpryMenu.js - link
SpryMenuBarKeyNavigationPlugin.js - link

the in page script is loacated directly under the <ul> lists.

Spry Menu Bar Widget 2.0 (1.0) -- IE 6 Rendering Snag
Hi:
Once again I need to call on the aid of others with more detailed knowledge of the spry frameworks, particularly the Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (vers. 1.0) developed by Adobe labs.
I have posted the site to http://www.aclco.org/testing/index.html. You will see that it works beautifully, thanks to the help of many contributors, except in IE 6.0, where, when the sub menus become visible and drop down, it causes all page elements (divs) to be pushed down to create the necessary room to accommodate the drop down. The natural overlap of the sub-menu over pre-existing content doesn't seem to overlay properly.
It does this on all pages, and not just those which present flash sideshows. And as I say it is peculiar to IE 6.
I have followed the tutorial provided by David Powers in deploying the widget and have not altered the spry skin css or the basic css. Any changes (affecting padding, etc. and adding of background images where created using the widget browser and supplemented in the css added to the template page. The "add-on" css was then added to the general style sheet governing the whole site layout.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, if there are any work arounds or hacks that anyone is aware of, or any other suggestions that might help.
I haven't been able to preview this on a free standing PC using IE6, but was able to reproduce the problem on 2 cross browser testing services employing a "live mode". I renders properly until the sub-menus are called upon to become visible, and then the problem manifests.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Steve Webster
Attach.
Please note: Attached are the relevant excerpts from the customized style sheet as amended from the spry widget browser:
/* -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles -- */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or right pointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
.MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, all submenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
.MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top level menu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
and centered in its parent container.
MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets on the same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.
#MenuBar {

MenuItem, and MenuItemLabel

so use caution in using relative sizes other than
100% on submenu fonts. */

/* Caution: because ID+class selectors do not work properly in IE6, but we want to restrict these rules to just this

in this section. These have very low specificity, so be careful not to accidentally override them. */

/* IE6 rules - you can delete these if you do not want to support IE6 */
/* 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.

/* Ends Spry Menu Bar Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal Menu Custom styles */I have systematically reviewed the tutorial of David Powers on the Spry Menu bar 2.0, and recreated the process in a methodical process - making one change at a time, and then checking each step on a cross browser testing server, and have found, quite to my amazement that what seems to be causing the problem of the "gap" in IE 6 is by removing the customized styles from the head of the individual pages, and placing them in CSS stylesheet that governs the entire site.
I find this quite inexplicable. When the customized CSS rules governing the menu bar are situated in a separate stylesheet, the page renders well enough for any of the "modern" browsers, but won't render in IE 6. All that I get is a horizontal menu with drop downs, but none of the styling (specifically background colours, background images, etc.) that are called for in the stylesheet and that otherwise appear when rendered by other browsers.
I realize that this sounds strange, but I was wondering if anyone had experienced this phenomenon, or could offer any explanation.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Spry Menu Bar Colors and Pictures in Dreamweaver
I'm having some trouble changing the color of the spry menu
bars that I created in Dreamweaver. Whenever I preview them in a
browser they show up as grey with black text. What I want them to
show up as is blue with white text before the mouse goes over them
and highlights them. When the mouse goes over them I want them to
still be blue with white text and also my drop down menu options as
well.
What would be the fastest and easiest way to do this and if
there is what css code is required for me to change? I'm unfamiliar
with how css code works.
I'm also having some problems with copying and pasting
pictures and editing them too. what software can i download that is
free that i can use to edit my pictures.
I have the trial version mind you and I'm trying to get this
finished as fast as I can.> What would be the fastest and easiest way to do this and

Bring up your page and adjust the CSS in the
SpryMenuHorizontal.css or
SpryMenuVertical.css page that is attached. All the color
values are in
there.
>I'm unfamiliar with how css code works.
You need to change this. Without a thorough working knowledge
of HTML and
CSS (at the very least), you will never have great success in
either
Dreamweaver or web design. I first learned web design using
Notepad, typing
every single tag, and I am soo grateful now that I had that
solid coding
experience .. without it, this program would be very hard to
master.

Free? I'm not sure any more .. you can use either the 30 day
trial of
Fireworks or Photoshop (Fireworks would probably be easier to
pick up) but
if you're going to do a lot of this, you need to get some
good tools and
learn them well.

I was working on my spry menu bar and now my sidebar1 photo moves with the menu bar?
I was working on my spry menu bar, and getting really far with it thanks to GRAMPS, and all of a sudden I wanted to put padding of 30px top and 30 px bottom on the sidebar1 photo in the container and now all of a sudden the home.jpg photo in the sidebar moves when you hover over the menu bar.
I can noit for the life of me figure out what changed and somehow was so excited about my spry menu bar working that I did not save the most recent working page. Can anybody look at this with me and let me know what changed to mess the page up on me.
Thanks a million.

None of the links are working I have just been playing with the spy menu for weeks. I finally figured it out and do not belive the error is in the spry style sheets.
Here is the code for my page. I know I am working with a template. I really do not want to start over if a <div> tag is missing.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

/* ~~ These are the columns for the layout. ~~
1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.

<h1>Instructions</h1>
<p>Be aware that the CSS for these layouts is heavily commented. If you do most of your work in Design view, have a peek at the code to get tips on working with the CSS for the fixed layouts. You can remove these comments before you launch your site. To learn more about the techniques used in these CSS Layouts, read this article at Adobe's Developer Center - <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts">http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts</a>.</p>
<h1>Clearing Method</h1>
<p>Because all the columns are floated, this layout uses a clear:both declaration in the .footer rule. This clearing technique forces the .container to understand where the columns end in order to show any borders or background colors you place on the .container. If your design requires you to remove the .footer from the .container, you'll need to use a different clearing method. The most reliable will be to add a <br class="clearfloat" /> or <div class="clearfloat"></div> after your final floated column (but before the .container closes). This will have the same clearing effect.</p>
<h3>Logo Replacement</h3>
<p>An image placeholder was used in this layout in the .header where you'll likely want to place a logo. It is recommended that you remove the placeholder and replace it with your own linked logo. </p>
<p> Be aware that if you use the Property inspector to navigate to your logo image using the SRC field (instead of removing and replacing the placeholder), you should remove the inline background and display properties. These inline styles are only used to make the logo placeholder show up in browsers for demonstration purposes. </p>
<p>To remove the inline styles, make sure your CSS Styles panel is set to Current. Select the image, and in the Properties pane of the CSS Styles panel, right click and delete the display and background properties. (Of course, you can always go directly into the code and delete the inline styles from the image or placeholder there.)</p>
<h4>Backgrounds</h4>
<p>By nature, the background color on any div will only show for the length of the content. This means if you're using a background color or border to create the look of a side column, it won't extend all the way to the footer but will stop when the content ends. If the .content div will always contain more content, you can place a border on the .content div to divide it from the column.</p>

Spry Menu Bar is not doing what I want it to do
I am attempting to work with the Spry Menu Bar, which was starting to work, but then I made the mistake of trying to resize it using the resize handles around the menu. And now I can't figure out how to get it back to the right size. I've tried undoing and looking through the code, which is NOT my forte, but I can't find any clues as to how change the size. And it will not display any menu other than the very first one, even though the whole menu bar is spanning the page, with plenty of room to display all 4. What is going on??
Here is the Spry menu bar css code:

Even though it's included in older versions of Dreamweaver, Adobe formally abandoned Spry last year
http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l'
Point being, few people will advise you to continue along this Spry path.
You're better off investing your energy in a modern up-to-date menu system.

Spry Menu Bar won't work correctly.
This is an image of what the overall menu bar layout should be like-all of the links and sublinks.
I have a few problems that I am having all relating to the spry menu bar.
I ran my code through w3c validation service but it came up with alot of errors which when corrected didn't make sense or work either.
I made this menu bar in a widget called spry menu bar 2.0. I then edited it to place in the correct names and it doesn't work correctly and the w3c validation code seems to have 43 errors with the spry bar. I am been over it a dozen times and I can't seem to figure it out. Here is the code.
Also, have I made the links correctly?
I would appreciate any help you could offer! thank you

/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or right pointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
.MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, all submenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
.MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top level menu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
and centered in its parent container.
MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets on the same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.

/* 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.

Nancy O. -
Spry menu bar places vertically, not horizontally?
I followed the tutorial on using the widget browser to download Spry Menu Bar 2.0 and after configuring for a horizontal bar placed the bar in the tutorial index.html. The placement results in a vertical menu bar. What am I doing wrong?

/* A note about multiple classes in IE6.

* 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.

/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or right pointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
.MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, all submenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
.MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top level menu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
and centered in its parent container.
MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets on the same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.

Spry Menu Bar 2.0 (1.0) - Handling of widget generated CSS, placement and rendering problems in CSS
Hello:
I wanted to repost my question to re-frame the issue based on what I have learned thus far.
I am working on a website that has been developed using the Spry Menu Bar Framework UI (2.0) I.0, that has some peculiar rendering problems that affect IE 6 in particular. The CSS is reprinted below.
In particular, when I post the widget generated CSS in the head as it is orginally situated by the framework, the menu bar works fine. However, it seemed to me that I should be able to reduce page weight (an important consideration considering my target population) by placing it in the general style sheet governing the entire site.
When I place the styles at the beginning of the style sheet the menu doesn't render at all in any of the browsers (IE 6+, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Netscape, etc.) as it conflicts with the general rules governing links that appear later in the style sheet. When I place the styles specific to the Menu bar at the end of the style sheet, then the menu bar renders properly in all browsers except IE 6.
The odd thing is that the only way to ensure that the menu bar works in IE 6 is to keep the menu related styles in the head of each page. This raises problems related to page weight (not an insurmountable consideration if no other solution can be found) but still an issue. Likewise I need to support IE 6, again given the target audience/population. The issue obviously has something to do with specificity, but I am not certain that is the only consideration at work here. I have not tried the !important selector in regard to the menu, as IE 6 seems to only partially support this.
Thanks in advance for any advice or insight that can be provided. Thanks in particular to Martin for his contributions to my earlier question related to this issue.
Steve Webster.
The CSS governing the horizontal menu bar is as follows: (currently the following CSS is embedded in the head of the web page)
<style type="text/css">
/* -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles -- */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or rightpointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
.MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, allsubmenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
.MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top levelmenu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
and centered in its parent container.
MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets onthe same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.

color: #0303A0;Hi Nancy:
The specific code that I am referring to is the CSS code governing the styling of the spry menu widget that only works in IE 6 if, and only if, it remains in the head of the web page. If removed and placed in a stylesheet, the IE plugins fail to compensate for the IE 6 "gap" bug. As I said, it doesn't make sense to me that, assuming specificity is addressed, that these can not be included in an external style sheet. I am looking for a) an explanation why they must remain embedded in the web page; and 2) any means by which I might be able to export them.
I will reproduce the specific css style (code) below: it should also be visable through reveal source --
Thanks again, Steve Webster.
The CSS governing the horizontal menu bar is as follows: (currently the following CSS is embedded in the head of the web page)
<style type="text/css">
/* -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles -- */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or rightpointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
.MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, allsubmenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
.MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top levelmenu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
and centered in its parent container.
MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets onthe same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.
#MenuBar {
background-color:transparent;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; /* Specify fonts on onMenuBar and subMenu MenuItemContainer, so MenuItemContainer,
MenuItem, and MenuItemLabel
at a given level all use same definition for ems.
Note that this means the size is also inherited to child submenus,
so use caution in using relative sizes other than
100% on submenu fonts. */
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 17px;
font-style: normal;
padding:0;
/* Caution: because ID+class selectors do not work properly in IE6, but we want to restrict these rules to just this
widget instance, we have used string-concatenated classnames for our selectors for the layout type of the menubar
in this section. These have very low specificity, so be careful not to accidentally override them. */
