Help with Dreamweaver CS5 spry menus. Submenus are not showing.

Hello.
I am working on a new website, and added 2 vertical spry menus to the page (left hand side under SEARCH). All of my submenus were working properly except for the fact that I couldn't see the entire list once it dropped down past the container window. I tried adding "overflow: visible" to the ul.MenuBarVertical ul AND ul.MenuBarVertical ul li and all of my submenus disappeared. Both spry menus were saved with different names. I tried UNDO multiple times, but they are still not working. HELP! I really don't want to have to go back and re-create these 2 menus.
Thank you.
Heres the link to my website
http://www.advertools.net/pmgdemo/index.html
P.S. I am Mac based and have only viewed my site on Safari, so I'm not sure how this looks on IE or any other browsers.

I looked at your linked site from a PC on Chrome 12, Firefox 4 and IE9. Your menus show albeit that they sometimes overlap a little in an unpleasant (but workable) way. I have not checked with Safari, need to get an updated copy.
So the problem does not show up in the browser.
Is the problem with Contribute?
PS: You submenus show out horizontally, not vertically - is that what you intended?

Dreamweaver CS4 SPRY Menu Problems in IE

I am trying to have a drop-down menu on my site using the SPRY option in Dreamweaver CS4. In all browsers it looks exactly like it should. Unofrtunately in IE it pops out to the side instead of down. Anyone know a fix around this. The site is http://mtltechnologies.com/
Here is the SPRY CSS.

Thanks,

The code is too long. Let's do it this way, did you change anything on the default css of the SPRY menu?
just my thought, why don't you remove it from the table? That might be the cause. Try to think of an alternative way like using divs and css.

Uk date format issue with ASP and Access Database

I have an Asp form which updates records in an Access
database. Problem is
that the date format in the database record is dd/mm/yyyy
(UK), when
the record is displayed on the form it is mm/dd/yyyy(US)
which after I
update the record in the database the date has changed to the
new format.
I have tried everything I can to change the format but to no
avail...anyone any ideas how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks

Its not Dreamweaver, or Access, its your servers locale, its
set to US
format, not the UK.
On your page at the top use:
<% Session.LCID = 2057 %>
This will force the page into using UK formatted dates. Use
it on any
page that needs to format the page correctly.

CS6 Spry Menu issue with iPads

I created a website using Dreamweaver CS6 and everything is working fine except that iPads are having an issue with the Spry menu. When they make a selection they can't select another menu option where it is another menu from the main tree or a submenu item.

Spry uses a hover event, something that touch screens do not understand. You could go into the JS and change the hover into a click event, but then you are still stuck with old and discarded technology. Have a look here http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l.
There are a number of alternatives to choose from. Just Google the subject.

Dreamweaver CS4 Design View Issues

Hi,
I'm experiencing issues with the design view in DW CS4. It seems a little buggy to me. Sometimes I cannot seem to select any items at all, either using a single or double click. It's starting to drive me nuts. Is there an easy way to enter into this form of editing that's a little less random ?
Many thanks in advance

There are two things that could prevent you from editing a region of DW's design view:
The page is the child page of a DW template and the region you are trying to edit is in a NON-EDITABLE part of that template, and cannot be edited in the child page.
The container (i.e., the ancestor) for the region you are attempting to edit has a CSS style of "overflow:hidden" applied to it. Double clicking (or right click > Element View > View All) would open that region for editing.
If you are able to verify that one of those two possibilities is in play, then you have your answer. If neither of them applies, then we would need to see the page and its code - perhaps you could post a link to it?

Help with Dreamweaver CS5 spry menus. Menu is not dropping down in IE7.

Hello.
We recently upgraded from GoLive CS3 to Dreamweaver CS5. Wow! This has been a big change for us. We are having trouble with a website that we are building, specifically the Spry Menu drop downs not appearing correctly in IE7 and older. While the dropdown menu appears in other browsers, it is not dropping down at all in IE7 and earlier versions. After researching this topic on many websites, including this forum, we are still unable to resolve our particular issue. We have tried many of the suggestions that are common to our problem, but have not found a solution as yet. Could someone please check out this page for us, and possibly give us some advise. We are working on Mac OSX. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may offer.
http://www.advertools.net/pgtdemo/index.html

When I added the following to the document
<style>
#main_image {position:static;}
</style>
the menu items appeared albeit in the wrong position.
The reason for the hidden menu items is because #main_image had a position of relative, effectively creating a flow of its own rather than following the natural flow of the document.
Now for the postion of the submenu. If I add the following style rules to the document the submenu items are in the correct position
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li {text-align: left;}
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {text-align: center;}
In the first line I have reset the rule that you had changed to center align and in the second line (which is not in the original CSS) I have aligned the text in the anchor tag to align center.
The reason is that IE<8 behaves differently to other browsers when it comes to list items causing the nested list items (submenu) to align themselves to the center of the text of the parent list item.
I hope the above helps.

Spry validation issue with submit button

Hi,
I'm new to Spry but am having an issue getting it to work at all. I created a very simply form (i.e. table with Spry text field and submit button). I've read many articles and been to several forums, but I can't seem to find the issue I'm having. Basically, when I go to preview the page in a browser, the table with the Spy text field and submit button comes up fine, but when I hit the submit button, I see the page refresh and any values I had in the text field disappear, but nothing ever comes up saying "A value is required," which is what I'm looking for. This happens even if I don't have any values in the text field. Below are images of what I'm describing and also the code. I verified that the "Required" check box is checked in the SpryTextField and the submit button action is selected to "Submit Form." My setup is Win 7, DW6, & XAMPP. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Before Submit Button pressed:
Browser after button pressed: (same as above but no message saying "A value is required.")
Code:

Do yourself a big favor and don't waste time with Spry Validation. Most modern browsers support HTML5 forms with the required attribute.
If you must placate older browsers, use jQuery validate script. It's lightweight and works when HTML5 support is missing. You can see an example below. If you hit submit with empty form fields, the required fields pop-up with messages. View source in browser to see the code.

PLEASE important dreamweaver CS4 spry

hi all, can someone help me with a problem on HTML Dreamwever CS4 please

#1 The best way to share your work online is to upload your site to a TEMP folder on your remote server. If you don't have permanent web hosting yet, you should procure some from a commercial web host as soon as possible. You will need this to publish your site online. There are some free hosting services you can use temporarily but you get what you pay for.
#2 Spry is dead. Adobe abandoned Spry last year because it has outlived is usefulness. You may continue using it if you wish, but most people have moved to other, more modern solutions.

Form Validation against database - Dreamweaver CS4 Spry

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out how to implement a form validation
of some fields, let's say a username. I have a form that inserts on
MySQL table, and when the user is typing the username, after it
looses the focus on field, validate it if there is a record on
table with the specified username. If so, validation will fail.
I already saw something similar with this on Dreamweaver MX
using some extension (because at that time, it did not support
ajax).
Kind regards, and thanks in advance.

I don't have a solution, but you may try posting in the Spry
Forums, you might get a better response.

Dreamweaver CS4 RDS not working with CF9

While on CF8 Enterprise (Jrun4 multi-server edition) I had a vendor sandbox established and they were connecting flawlessly via RDS. The vendor also has DW CS4, and I could duplicate their connection from my CS4 locally with no problem.
Now I recently upgraded to CF9 Enterprise (standard install), recreated all the sandbox stuff and user account exactly (I had settings printout from CF8), yet for some reason absolutely cannot view any files via RDS. I can make a connection, not getting an invalid login message, but the folder just shows up as a folder icon with no files listed underneath. I just don't understand. All the setting, username/password, etc., are the same.
I thought maybe it was due to a CF8/CF9 conflict so I then removed CF8 from the server, rebooted, still no luck.
Can someone please tell me how to set up an RDS connection between DW CS4 and CF9? I've been using CF 12 years, and I'm stumped. I can't even find any log info to explain the weirdness. It's weird because I connect but only see the folder, no files. My vendor experiences the same thing. If I was doing something wrong I would expect to get a connection denied kind of message but I don't.
Thanks for any advice.

First project in CS4 and major issues with preview and such.....experienced with all previous PPRO v

So to sum it up, I have been working in Premiere since version 4.2. I am familiar with program.
I decided to test CS4 on a simple project, as I usually work on complex HD videos. I captured a friends wedding, shot by someone else (uncle or aunt) in DV mode. I open a CS4 project in DV NTSC 720x480 and import my clip. This should be a simple edit.
I drag clips to the timeline and do some very basic dissolves in and out to smooth out the rough cuts of the camera operator. So far so good. I am previewing the video out on my second monitor which happens to be an HDTV via the premiere playback to secondary monitor feature.
I drag a color correction filter onto a clip and "wham" the preview goes away. Then I turn the effect off and it comes back. When I scrub the timeline, all I see is the first frame of that clip all the way through. It's stuck. I have to build a preview to get it to play. In addition, I cannot see a preview of anything when I am makijng color adjustments except in the small monitor window of Premiere. This is basic editing 101....never had to give it a though before and now basic functionality is going haywire. Ofte images are all negative looking too.
So I started a new project in HD and setup to preview to second monitor. I created a simple title and dragged it to the timeline. It won't preview to the second monitor at all. A simple title. Only in the little premiere monitor. Then I import a jpg....same thing. I have to build a preview to see anything....
Then....I have these 2 clips on the timeline, a premiere title butted up against a jpg. With no effects, it now will not even show the title anywhere. During the five seconds of the title, I see the jpg (which is coming up next, but in a negative mode...you know reversed out basically) then when it gets to the jpg it shows. If I change the size of anything....it stops working again until I render.....
I have to say that in the 45 minutes that I have been trying Cs4, it has behaved so strangely it is scaring me. CS3 has it's quirks but they typically present themselves in huge projects, not brand new ones with 2 clips in them, neither of these are even HD video! Just a title and a jpg.
Any ideas? I have CS3 production Suite running great. Hopefully I missed a simple new setting or something. Yeah...right.

thanks.

Jim,
I have accomplished this with an ATI card also, so it can be done. I am not sure what you are trying to imply. It absolutely works. If you are implying that simply because it doesn't blank the screen out when no video is being played that it is not a true output you are wrong. Are there better more color accurate ways to do this? Sure....for thousands of dollars for SDI or HDMI cards then production grade LCDs I'm sure it could work better.
My video card outputs a 1920x1080 signal to my HDTV....that I calibrate to the best of its ability considering it is not a production monitor. When in Premiere I get full high res 1920x1080 HD video playing on this monitor looking darn close to what it will look like when rendered to Blu-ray, whereas the image on my awsome 30" Dell LCD is not accurate at all. I mean it looks clean and awesome but is not very close to an HDTV colorwise.
This absolutely works. As good as it is, it is not as accurate as dedicated equipment and color production monitors.
To be clear, it is an extension of the desktop, and premiere is able to display the entire resolution of the video over the entire thing.

JavaFx Menus : Issues with Mozilla

Hi,
I have created menus using JavaFx and deployed them in my Google sites account .
The demo is available at
http://sites.google.com/site/javafxpoint/fxmenu
There i have kept various types of menus for demo like, slash dot menu, horizontal DD Menu, Vertical DD menu and XP menu .
When i try to access those web pages using Internet explorer ( IE ), the Application loads up well .
But how ever if i try to access those pages using Mozilla, those javafx Applications are not getting rendered .
Do i need to make any additional changes in the settings in Mozilla or the javaFx code , so as to make them work in Mozilla ?
Pl. confirm .
Thanks

I am not sure, but perhaps Firefox doesn't like for the applet to be put in an iframe?

Dreamweaver CS6 file update issue with template

I am working my way through Adobe's Dreamweaver CS6 Classroom in a Book on an iMac computer. I'm in Chapter 9 and have placed some button links in a webpage within the template. But when I go to update the about_us.html file from the template, the update indicates that it will only update files from Chapters 6 & 7. Thus I cannot update the Chapter 9 about_us file (or any other files in Chapter 9 I'm presuming). What can I do? I do not know how I can manually update the link html statements in the about_us file because they are greyed out (inactive, due to button region locking that was done in Chapter 7. I'm really stumped and blocked from continuing, so I sure could use some help. Thank you in advance!

It's hard to say what you could have missed, if Templates aren't done just right, things can go wrong fast.
I would go back to chapter 7 (the last point things seem to work correctly) and redo everything up to chapter 9 to make sure I didn't accidentally skip any steps. Pay particular attention to any step pertaining to creating new pages from templates or applying a template to an already existing page.
