Deleted CSS for Horizontal Menu Bar. Help!
I deleted the css for my spry horizontal menu bar and now when I try to upload it into a new page it is distored. I added back the css rules for the menu bar and it helped but I cannot get the menu bar to line up horizontally like it was originally. The bars are vertically staggered across the page. Can anyone help me with the css settings to get the menu bar back to normal?
Thank you
Teresa
Hello Teresa,
we should not resign ourselves. I for my part, I'm very "happy" with my DW, particularly you/we find here many unselfish helpers! What concerns your "way to build website an easier way" I'll propose DW itself (see screenshot of my German DW):
or many of interesting templates (Google is your friend) and here my favorite are these of Nancy O.:
http://alt-web.com/Free-CSS-Templates.shtml.
And I want to reoeat my hints from above:
If you have a budget to work with, look at PVII's Pop-Menu Magic3.
http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm3/index.htm
jQuery Superfish (free): http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/ aso.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter
P.S.
And whether you use DW or other programs, sooner or later you have to become familiar with CSS and html aso.

Horizontal Menu Bar Help Needed
Hi there, I am somewhat new to web design but I've been helping a friend update his business's page recently. We use Dreamweaver CS3 and our hosting is thru GoDaddy.
My problem appears when I try to insert a horizontal menu bar (Insert>Spry>Menu bar) so that a dropdown menu will appear when I hover over an option, much like the top menu on the GoDaddy homepage, among others. It works correctly when I preview my page in a browser from Dreamweaver, (Firefox, IE) but when I actually upload my page to the GoDaddy servers and view it, it shows up not as a bar with hidden options, but as a long unformatted vertical list.
The site in question is here: http://www.notyouraveragebookkeeper.com/indextabs
I thought it might be a problem with CSS, but I made sure that all of the style sheets are properly uploaded to the servers, and I made sure that my browser accepted any Javascript applets. I've also tried it with my Dreamweaver CS5 trial. Like I said, I am an amateur in every sense of the word and I'm still learning technical terms for things so some of my jargon may be a bit flawed. I have done a good bit of online research in forums and otherwise, and I've tried solutions that have been given to similar problems. Maybe someone could view the source code and find out where I've gone wrong, or suggest tips to identify problems in Dreamweaver. I feel like the problem lies within the Spry framework, but I have very little knowledge on how it works or what it does.
Any assistance in this regard would be extremely helpful and appreciated.Neither SpryMenuBar.js and SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css can be found by your online site.
Possibly these have not been uploaded or uploaded to a wrong location.

Fixing a set width for horizontal menu bar
I'm using the Spry horizontal menu bar at the top of my page and want to put it as a set width that doesn't zoom or shrink in size when someone uses this function on their screen. At the moment, when zooming, the menu wraps to the next line. How can I stop this? Does anyone know how to do this please?
Many thanks,You can set the width of the menuitems as a percentage, you can also set a minimum width for the menubar container (UL).

Nube needs help inserting a JQuery horizontal menu bar into my site-help.
Please forgive the ignorance of my questions but I am new to Mobile site design and Dreamweaver.
I am trying to build a responsive web site for my company that can be viewed on multiple platforms, but am having trouble inserting a responsive menu and responsive slide show.
This post is in regard to the menu bar, which I have created using JQuery on a seperate page. I have managed to get the layout to work but still can't figure out how to create mouse overs for the links
or how to insert it into my site.
Please help.
Why can't I see the nav bar in the site when I paste in?
All I see is the text and no images. I know I am pasting the code in the wrong place.
Where do I insert it?
Below is the code for the site and below that is the code for the menu bar.
Where do I insert it? Help.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Do the following if you're using your customized build of modernizr (http://www.modernizr.com/):
* insert the link to your js here
* remove the link below to the html5shiv
* add the "no-js" class to the html tags at the top
* you can also remove the link to respond.min.js if you included the MQ Polyfill in your modernizr build

Horizontal Menu Bar size changes (for some viewers)
I have set up my first horizontal menu bar (Using CS3) and was pretty proud of how far I got on my own. I have customized the colors, and have it centered on my page - all exactly what I wanted. I have viewed the site in a few different browsers (Explorer, Safari, Mozilla) and on 4 different computers and it looks good to me, however, when my client views the site (using Explorer as her browser) - the horizonatl menu bar does not fit on one line. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Am I going to have to customize the css for the size of the text on the menu bar or the overall size of the menu bar?
Here is the live page: http://www.ourtruecolors.org/newsite/
Here is a screenshot of what my client sees: http://www.meredithandrob.com/TC/TCscreenshot-1.jpg
Here is a screenshot of what I typically see and how it SHOULD look: http://www.meredithandrob.com/TC/TCscreenshot-2.jpg
Any help would be greatly appreciated!Hi,
My compliments on a great looking site.
My experience is that browsers have different default values. What I tend to do to neutralize this by adding the following line at the top of the style sheet:
margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of all elements and tags to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;
The net effect is that you must apply a CSS-rule to all of your HTML-tags such as <h1>, <h2>, <p> etc.
This regime has saved me from many dillemmas such as the one you are now experiencing.
I hope this helps.

Horizontal menu bar displays grey in IE - Please Help
These are my first websites and i have created it in DW CS4. Everything is working and i have checked in multiply browsers. The one issue i can't work out is that when viewed in IE the horizontal menu bar looks grayed out. The main menu should be transparent with a white border, while submenus have a .gif image gradient background also with a white border.
Please help, I would be very grateful and if you would ever find yourself in the Maldives i'm sure we could repay the favour.....
Please find all the details below

Help with Horizontal Menu Bar in IE
I am having trouble with my menu bar in IE. It works fine in Opera, Firefox, and Safari. In IE when you hover over it it opens on the left hand side and not straight down. I have tried many things others have suggested with no luck. I am not very good with code and this is the first website I have worked on as part of my job (wasn't hired on as a web designer! I work on a horse farm!). Here is the link to the site www.garnercreekfarms.com.
Here is my JS:

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.

Have you tried putting this rule back as it was originally:
/* 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; /*was 9px*/
color: #EF9CCF;
background-color: #FFF;
That is, changing your 9px back to auto.
And giving us a link (as you did) is much better than printing out the code for us! Thanks!

Horizontal menu bar shows serif type font in Live View and Preview but sans serif is in css file
Help I am using the Spry horizontal menu bar and while it is working fine, it is showing a serif font in Live View and in all Browsers even though I have selected a sans serif font. What gives? I have attached the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
Add this to your embedded styles:
body {
background-color: #999;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
using, of course, the font list you want.
All those styles that rely on the 'default' font will now default to the Trebuchet font list (or to your chosen list).

Problem endering Spry Horizontal Menu Bar in IE7...help.
I have created a horizontal menu bar in DW CS4 using Spry. When I view using live view, everything is working. When I test in Firefox and Nomad, everything renders as expected. I have tested the page www.ridedesigns/newsite/index.htm using IE7 on both a Windows XP and Vista platform. The problem is that the dropdown menu items fall on a layer behind the company logo (or so it appears) and are only partially visible behind that jpg.
What have I done incorrectly, or is this a known bug?Here's how I changed the top of your page. Add these two divs:
#menudiv {
width: 868px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
text-align: center;
#maintable {
width: 868px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
clear: both;
And use them this way:
<BODY>
<PRE> </PRE>
<div id="menudiv">all of your menu markup here, as you have it now</div>
<div id="maintable">
<TABLE width="868" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" id="template">
<TBODY>
<TR valign="bottom">
<TD height="68" colspan="5" align="left"><IMG src="./index_files/web_banner.gif" width="648" height="73" alt="Ride Designs"></TD>
</TR>
...rest of table as it is now, followed by
</div>
In my analysis, by placing the menubar in the table, it was sinking into the universe of the table and could not rise above it with z-index. In fact, in IE, the list items in the submenus were taking on the height of the <tr> as well as falling down behind lower table rows.
By putting both the menubar and the table into identically-positioned divs...centered by using the margin: auto; on both sides...they will sit adjacent to each other and not interfere. It did not function correctly with both menubar and table in the same div.
Thanks for letting me dig this through you.

CS3 Fix for Spry Horizontal Menu bar/drop boxes positioning bug in IE?
I have searched threads to see if there is an "easy" solution for the incorrect positioning of horizontal menu bar drop boxes in IE browser older versions(mine showed up at the top of the screen and mysteriously included the word "false" in older IE ONLY). Is there a downloadable patch or quick fix for this problem at this point in time? I saw an available download for a newer version of Spry but seems like overkill for this small issue. I am not an experienced web designer or computer geek, but can follow specific directions I am given. The horz bar with drop boxes showed correctly in Firefox and other browsers but not in older(?) IE. For now, I've simply removed the drop boxes to make the page look respectable, but boy did it look good with those boxes. I am hoping somebody can talk to me without lots of teckkie terms. Though I appreciate and love all of you tecs out there.
You really should install the Spry update as it fixes some IE issues that the earlier versions of Spry had. Then use the Dreamweaver Command menu to update your Spry files within your site and you should have the latest and be ready to go. If you're still having issues you may want to also check out the Spry forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/spry
Let us know if the update doesn't solve your particular problem. -
? Horizontal Menu Bar not loading in IE
Our horizontal menu bar does not load into IE. It works fine in Safari, Firefox and Chrome. It used to work on all four
browsers so I've gone back and uploaded an older version of our site to see if I could get it to work in IE. Even this older
site does not load anymore, also reloaded all our older Spry Assets and CSS.
The Website is www.sundogexpeditions.com
Thanks for any help and I'll provide any additional info to help diagnose my problemWe found the problem in the ul.MenuBarHorizontal li MenuBarItemIE . The display listed "none" We deleted it
and everything appears to display just fine in IE. Not sure if this was the best fix but it works for now.

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.
This is the link to my site: www.digitaldesignsbymargee.comHi! I am new to this forum.

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

Im fairly new to dreamweaver, and im trying to make a horizontal menu bar with rollover images. Every tutorial I have found online tells me how to make a spry menu bar, or just a rollover image. I know how to do both now, but nobody can seem to tell me how I can customize the spry menu bar with rollover images. So can anyone help me? or is that not even possible? Thanks anyway!
@John
Sorry John, I did not mean real rollover images, only so called rollovers. What I have in mind is an image that changes when the state of the menu item changes as can be seen in the following
