Changing Dimensions of spry horiz menu: problems

You change the dimension of menu items by changing the width
properties of the menu item’s li and ul tags.
Locate the ul.MenuBarVertical li or ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
rule.
Change the width property to a desired width (or change the
property to auto to remove a fixed width, and add the property and
value white-space: nowrap; to the rule).
Locate the ul.MenuBarVertical ul or ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
rule.
Change the width property to a desired width (or change the
property to auto to remove a fixed width).
Locate the ul.MenuBarVertical ul li or ul.MenuBarHorizontal
ul li rule:
Add the following properties to the rule: float: none; and
background-color: transparent;.
Delete the width: 8.2em; property and value.
Ok: My sub menu is now wrong. It renders horizontally,
instead of vertically, and the sub-sub menu also.
Any one see any problems with the above instructions?

Actually, the problem is that the list contains three sets of
instructions, each beginning with the word 'Locate'. What should be
done is label each instruction set and then make the actual
instruction set a subsidiary ordered list, e.g.
1. Select Width or Auto, with Nowrap:
1. Locate ...
2. Change ...
2. Select Width or Auto, without Nowrap
1. Locate ...
2. Change ...
3. Add rules
1. Locate ...
2. Add ...
3. Delete ...
What you need to do is select ONE of the choices, and then
play with it a bit.
Incidentally, I noticed that IE does not like the transparent
background, consequently I had to create a rule specific to IE for
the CSS rules to work.

Spry vertical menu problem with IE

We implemented the spry vertical menu for showing the
categories of a products catalog. It has almost 1800 categories
organizad at about 5 levels, some categories have about 30
subcategories. These categories are extrated from a database.
It works in mozilla but in IE present this problem:
- The response time is slow when you change from one category
to ahother. And the effiecience decrease.
See in
http://edit.panamericana.com.co/
Thanks,
Alejandro

I tried in Firefox 3 and IE7 and they both seemed fairly slow
for any action to take place. But IE7 did seem pretty slugish.
It seems that you're already determined what the issue is,
you have waaaaaay too many menu items. Seems to me that that number
of items don't belong in a menu. There are even menus that are too
long to appear entirely on the page, so they can't be easily
accessed without accidentally hiding the menus again, which I did
several times. IN particular:
Cartuchos > Technologica
If you cannot change to a different format to show all of the
items, then perhaps you can split up the menu so that you don't
have too many at one time. I checked the code of your page and it
seems that you've got a lot of other scripting going on there
besides Spry, so is the issue with Spry or with everything else
you're trying to do with that menu. If you can try to recreate the
page with only the menu items on it (and not pulled in dynamically
on the fly), and then add back to your page a bit a time, you might
be able to find out what is really causing the delays.

Dreamweaver spry sub menu problem in IE

Hi. I'm having a problem with my spry sub menu being offset
from the main drop down menu when viewed in IE. Any help? Thanks!
Link:
http://thinkstreet.net/websites/Nathan/AustinDrainageSite/index.html

The position of Spry Menu Bar submenus is controlled by the
margin property on submenu ul tags.
Locate the ul.MenuBarVertical ul or ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
rule.
Change the margin: -5% 0 0 95%; default value to the desired
values.

SPRY Vertical Menu Problem (IE Hack?)

I'm having a problem with the Spry vertical menu bar. The one
I created works fine in Firefox and in Safari, but not in Internet
Explorer. In IE the sub-menu containers open AT THE TOP of the menu
bar, and not next to the selected menu item. I'm not sure how to
fix it. Any help is appreciated.
You can see the problem here (view in IE and roll over any of
the menu items in the middle or lower part of the menu bar):
http://southerncharmgifts.net/thesouthernsportsman/html/ssarchery.html

I downloaded the Spry update but it didn't fix the problem.
It changed my menu box to white, when it should have remained
black. Hopefully I can fix it. But still the same problem with IE.
This is really bad! Any way to reverse the update?

Looking at your page it appears to validate except for one
thing. All images need alt tags assigned to them.
See if updating the Spry helps.
Also there is a Spry forum that Adobe does check in case
there are bugs. The link to the forum is on that page and I will
also link it below:

With regards to Pitmaster you can check the above links but
depending on the issue it could be something else. So if you need

Spry Horizontal Menu Problem

I switched to version 2 of the Spry Menubar due to sub-menu problems associated with iPads. Now I am having problems with sub-menus within IE8. It is not possible to *quickly* scroll down the menu without the sub-menu disappearing. Here is an example:
http://gerberanalytics.com/tennis/tennis_header_test.php
It works ok with CS6 in the design view, but not on the local test server or on the production server. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Gramps,
I appreciate you providing this. I took a closer look at the errors and I made a few changes but this validator service continued to kick out errors. In fact if you put Adobe's own web site into this application (http://www.adobe.com), it comes up with 44 errors. As I mentioned before, the Adobe Widget Browser application for Spry Menubar 2 is essentially creating my code so I doubted that this was an actual problem.
While I have been interacting with you, I have also been awaiting an update from Adobe's senior technology staff for a solution. I heard from them today. Here is what Adobe said: Spry Menubar 2 has problems with IE 8 and IE 9 (which I already knew). The first person with whom I spoke at Adobe suggested that my customers running the IE 8 and IE 9 browsers should switch to a different browser, such as Chrome. I explained that asking users to switch was not a solution -- that's about 35% of my users. I then asked to speak with a manager / supervisor.
My conversation with the supervisor went a bit better. He told me that those running IE 8 and IE 9 on a Windows XP machine are ok. Vista is a problem. Windows 7 is also iffy. My machine is a Vista and my wife's machine is a Windows 7. It does not work on either machine for us.
I told him that Spry Menubar 2 should be withdrawn from their site or there should be a warning to insure that people are aware of the problems. He didn't say that they would do that. He suggested that I should check back with him in a couple of weeks. I did not get a warm and fuzzy feeling that this was a priority item for them.
At this point, I'm bailing on Spry Menubar 2. I may return to Spry Menubar 1.6 which requires a "double tap" on the nav buttons to work on an iPad. I may also check out jQuery.
Thanks for the suggestions but it looks like Adobe has some serious issues. If your customers are using iPads (and they are), Spry Menubar 2 is not a solution to fix the problems encountered in Spry 1.4 and Spry 1.6.

Another SPRY horizontal menu problem with IE7

I posted this before, with no responses, but I think
I've narrowed it down to a CSS response problem with IE7.0. If you
view the attached link in Firefox or Opera, the menu background
color responds correctly on the drop downs. In IE7, the
background-color is ignored, causing the menu to be translucent
and, uh, ugly. Has anyone else had an issue with the
background-color CSS attribute in the SPRY horizontal menu css not
working?
HELLLLLP! and, uh, Thanks,

Spry horizontal menu problem in IE and Chrome

First I'd like to express my frustration with spry. I spend way too much time trying to "band-aid" spry to work in different browers. I'll admit that I'm new to the web game but I seem to spend a large percentage of my time simply trying different "fixes" to something that I don't think should be this much of a problem. Regardless ...
I've made a pretty simple web page, put a spry horizontal menu on it and it works and displays just like it's supposed to in FF but IE and Chrome both seem to have a problem with it. Currently there are no links attached to it but that's not my problem - getting it to display correctly is. Possibly this issuehas already been addressed but I couldn't find it in the forum. Webpage can be viewed here
I've put (what I believe to be) the relevant css on the Main Content section of the page. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am so glad that you started again, this is the best way to learn, trial and error.
To fix your woes to date, have a look at the following
.thrColFixHdr #header {padding:0;} /*remove the padding from the menubar container*/
ul.MenuBarHorizontal{width:auto;margin:0;} /*remove the fixed width and auto margin*/
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li{width:16.6667%;} /*spread the 6 items over the full width 6*16.6667% = 100%*/
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul a{text-align:left;} /*Set the the alignment back to left for any menu item links that are in a sub menu*/
To add images to your menu items have a look at the following http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/MenuBarSample.html, you will find it at the bottom of the page.
I did not realise that SolidWorks still existed, started using it in the mid 1990's, excellent product, easy to use and promotes fast product development. I lost track of it when I went for retirement 10 years ago.

Spry Horizontal Menu problem in IE

I am a new Dreamweaver user and utilized the Spry horizontal
menu in a site that I am redesigning. The menus look great in
firefox, but do not load properly in internet explorer. I am hoping
to be able to resolve this problem as the menus look so good in
firefox.

Spry Horizontal Menu problem in Safari Mac/Windows

Hello!
Has anyone run into a problem using a horizontal spry menu and it showing up corectly in Safari? The menu is centered but I cannot get the table to center underneath. I then wrapped the table in a div and center aligned it, after addeding a <br/> (just trying stuff to no avail.)
Here is a link to a site I am working on.
http://tesibridal.com/NEW/index.html
So far I have found it does not work in Safari 3.2.1/Mac & Safari 3.2.2 and gives me a whole new set of spacing problems in Explorer (which I will address all of those next).
Thank you in advance for your time.

sometimes and working right others.

SPRY horiz menu - in IE subs on top - in FF subs fine

Hello,
I am trying out Spry's for the first time and and am up the proverbial creek looking for my paddle!!
In IE 7.0573 the subs show over and on top of the main button, but in FF they are okay.
I am jus starting this as you will see :-)

The use of the centering divs around the links is causing the issue in IE7. I've removed the divs and also a stray closing </li> tag. The following works in both FFox and IE7.
<table width="58%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
      <tr>

I also see another potential problem It appears you are using or trying to use templates. It appears that you have saved some of your pages inside the Templates folder that is automatically created when you save a master template file (DWT).
eg:
<li><a href="Templates/biodiv.htm">The Best Bio Diverse Organic farm</a></li>
                <li><a href="Templates/thoroughbred.htm">Australia's Thoroughbred History</a></li>
                <li><a href="Templates/peter.htm">Peter Andrews</a></li>
The only file allowed inside that DW created Template folder is the dwt file.. no other files are allowed to reside inside that folder.

Hi,
I'll give exactly the changes you have to do to have the menu
working on both browsers:
On the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css file make the following
changes:
- on this rule: ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE ,
delete background: #FFF; property. (This seems to have an influence
here)
- on this ul.MenuBarHorizontal li rule add a fixed height,
height: 30px for example;
- on this ul.MenuBarHorizontal iframe rule add the line:
filter: alpha(opacity=0.1); (This is a known bug that is fixed for
Spry 1.6)

Spry Vert Menu problem

Hi,
A little history... I am new to DW (CS3) and am trying to
teach myself. I have built a couple sites prior so I know just
enough to be dangerous... :)
I have a site I am developing with a frameset layout. "fixed
top, nested left" in DW terms.
Problem: My left panel is my 'menu' html. When I create a
vertical menu w/spry widget and has a menu with a submenu, the
submenus seem to go 'behind' the main page or what I call the body
of my webpage. Is there a way to have the menus 'float' over a
bordering page on a frameset ? My description might be less than
crystal so please ask what info is needed. This site is not posted
anywhere so there is no code to inspect ..yet..
TIA,
B

Obviously not enough to know that each frame in a frameset is
a separate
window. You cannot make the content of one frame display over
the
content of another. It's one of the many disadvantages of
frames.

Spry dropdown menu problem

I've been working on a drop down menu for a site for a few
months now. I'm using the Spry Widget. I can't seem to get it
working right. I had used the drop down menu feature without
problems in CS2, but now that I have CS3, I'm having problems. I
use a Mac and am checking the site on a PC. The problem is in IE on
the PC.
Here is the site and page with the problem:
http://www.nectfarmersmarket.org/farms.html
The menu item "Participating Farms" has a drop down menu.
Everything works fine on my Mac using FF and Safari. On the PC,
using IE, only some of the links to the page anchors work in the
drop down menu. The ones that don't work for me are: Duhamel Farm,
Palazzi, Stone Farm, and Woodstock Farm.
Since I assume it's user error :), today I recreated the page
and the dropdown menu again from scratch:
http://www.nectfarmersmarket.org/farmsC.html.
And now more links don't work. These are the ones that don't work
on this test page: Duhamel, Palazzi, Rachels, Stone and Woodstock.
I have posted about this a while back, but I still can't
figure it out and my client is getting a little impatient.
TIA!

In regards to the validation if you put that page through
right now you will get a few errors. I will try to give them a
quick rundown.
- HR tags should look like <hr /> instead of <hr>
which you have now. This is because there is no ending tag with HR
tags so XHTML puts an end in the tag <hr />.
-One error is a missing v in a closing div tag. You have
</di> instead of </div>.
-The final is with table tags, but with a quick glance I
can't tell which tags are duplicate. Basically it appears as though
there are one too many sets of closing tags. Would have to look
closer at this to solve.
In regards to the Drop-Down and anchors you may want to post
this over at the Adobe Spry Forums because this is an odd issue and
may be something that we have overlooked. So head over and post the
link to the page so that they can see on that forum:
http://www.adobe.com/go/labs_spry_pr1_forum
Outside of that I really don't know what to say without
rebuilding the menu from scratch and building a page locally on my
test server which I won't really have time to do until probably the
weekend and I know you want this solved as soon as possible. Wish
there was more I could tell you but this has me stumped.

Spry Horizontal Menu problem with YouTube

I am trying to place YouTube videos in my website.
With a YouTube video embedded, the dropdown menu is behind YouTube and most of the links are note accessible.: http://gigharborrealestate.com/youtube/
Is there a way to have the Spry menu dropdown on top of the YouTube video?
Here is an example of the dropdowns working when I inserted a flash video: http://gigharborrealestate.com/782/
Thank you very much for your help,
Mike

Hi Arnout,
Thank you for responding to my question. I am not using a flash movie, I am embeding a Youtube video. Is it possible to add wmode="transparent" to a Youtube video? It would be great if you could give me a bit more info.
Thank you,
Mike
