Expanding menu problem

I need somehelp in the following. I have (below) the following expanding menu - what happens is that I only see the text but nothing happens. Even when I hover over it or click it - nothing happens. It should expand downwards and shows the submenu's, but that is not happening.
ANyone could point me to what I am doing wrong ?
The CSS:
.menu1{
background-color:#999999;
margin-left:25px;
padding-left:20px;
padding-top:2px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
display:block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;
height: 20px;
.submenu{
display: block;
.hide{
display: none;
.show{
display: block;
The code in the doc:
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="/css/Test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
function showHide(theid){
if (document.getElementById) {
var switch_id = document.getElementById(theid);
if(switch_id.className == 'show') {
switch_id.className = 'hide';
else
switch_id.className = 'show';
//–>
</script>
</head>
<body>
       <div id="honeycomb">
        <a class="menu1" onClick="showHide("mymenu1")">Icecream</a>
            <div id="mymenu" class="hide">
                <a href="www.google.com" class="submenu">Link One here</a>
                <a href="www.google.com" class="submenu">Link Two here</a>
            </div>
        <a class="menu1" onClick="showHide("mymenu2")">Gingerbread </a>
            <div id="mymenu2" class="hide">
                <a href="www.google.com" class="submenu">Link One here</a>
                <a href="www.google.com" class="submenu">Link Two here</a>
                <a href="www.google.com" class="submenu">Link Three here</a>
            </div>
      </div>
</body>

Change this -
<a class="menu1" onClick="showHide("mymenu1")">
to this -
<a href="#" class="menu1" onClick="showHide('mymenu1')">
and this -
<div id="mymenu" class="hide">
to this -
<div id="mymenu1" class="hide">
See what happens....

Expanding Box Problem

I have been working all morning to add a horizontal spry menu
bar to the menu_bar section of the Mother Earth Template (
http://www.webshapes.org/template/details/id/200702247034127204)
from Webshapes (
http://www.webshapes.org/)
Anyway, I had to do some crazy positioning to get the
submenus to lign up with the menus and now the submenus will not
display in IE because of an 'expanding box problem' All of the
problems are associated with either my "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul" or
my "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul ul"
Can anyone help me with this? I am a beginner with
Dreamweaver and have been having a lot of troubles with it.
Thanks.

Hello Tom, Is it a template related error message?
I would suggest you to use percentages when setting the width
and height values.

Spry Vertical Submenu - Expanding Box Problem, white background

Hello everyone. I've recently incorporated a Spry Vertical Menu on my site for the first time and I'm experiencing problems with the submenu in IE7. (Things look fine in FF, Safari, and Opera.) A white box appears behind the text area (the "bios" and "contact us" links). And....In IE6 the entire menu bar becomes a horizontal mess.
I've come to learn that this is called an Expanding Box Problem but I don't know how to fix it. Perhaps this is seperate issue from the white panel issue altogether. I dunno. Can anyone be of assistance? I've been trying to solve this problem for days.

Drop down menu problem IE7

I have a small problem, don't know if you can help at all. I have have upgraded to the latest version of spry and created my spry menu in Dreamweaver CS3. It works great in firefox, but in IE7 the drop down menu jumps up to the top of the browser window, instead of below the menu bar.
When I check using the browser compatibility function in CS3, I get a message "Expanding Box Problem" with the following lines of code highlighted:
<ul>
          <li><a href="testimonials extra.html">Extra</a></li>
          <li><a href="testimonials defender.html">Defender II</a></li>
        </ul>
Here is link to the site, so you can take a look

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated ?

Menu problem with IE

menu problems with IE connected with spry - see site:

flash)

thanks 4 help.

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.

You might need a #

Sudden menu problem in CS4: Running OS10 Mavericks. Anyone got a clue?

Cannot keep history and layers windows open simultaneously. Others likewise. By sudden I mean, one day it's fine, the next there's a menu problem. Assistance appreciated.

If you have placed your layout the way you want it, use the Save Workspace, give it a name, and only check Palette location in the Save dialog.
Then switch to another Workspace and back to your saved workspace to see if that fixes the problem.
Last resort is to reset Prefs. Hold down ctrl-alt-shift, start Photoshop and agree to the reset.

Spry menu problem - CS6 Dreamweaver

I wonder if anyone can help me with my spry menu problem which I have with a fixed 960px wide horizonal menu bar that has 8 items in it. The sub-menus don't seem to display properly when you click on them in that some of the submenus only show up at the end of the menu bar itself in Explorer browsers 8/9. Does anyone know of any code I can apply to fix this problem? I am new to spry menu features and so any help would be very much appreciated.

Also validate the rest of the code in your pages to see if you have any critical errors that need fixing. For example, a missing doc type declaration might explain Spry failures.
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
As an FYI, Adobe abandonded the Spry Framework late last year, after CS6 was released because Spry drop-menus don't hold up well on touch screen devices. If you can't get satisfaction with Spry, try jQuery Superfish. It's a better menu system.

Expandable Menu in Java Swing app

Hello JFriends,
is it possible to create a expandable menu in java swing app? I am thinking of something like menu in MS Visio: http://img32.imageshack.us/i/menuip.jpg/
It works like that: When user click on a bar it expands (with nice animation) and shows containing components.
Or maybye there are components like that?
Thanks in advance for Your reply and please forgive me if my english is bad.
JRegards :-)

Yes, such constructs are possible. There isn't a pre-made component exactly like that. The NetBeans IDE has a Window - named Palette - that's very similar. The code is open source.
You can read about Java menus here:

Expanding menu bar help

i have search for about 2-3hrs and cant figure out how to create a vertical expanding navigation bar like the one on www.louisvuitton.com on their main page there is a menu box on the right and when you put your mouse over it it expands allowing you to choose you country. i want to make this horizontal, not sure what this is called so i might have been searching for the wrong thing but any help in finding a tutorial would be great thanks

You will lose a lot of Google's ability to map your site unless you submit a special site map to the search engine (see mine under www.aloe-vera.org/public_.xml ).
To submit a sitemap to Google you need a google account (such as Gmail) and then go to: www.google.com/webmasters/tools to submit your sitemap. This will help to balance having a Flash menu.
I would love to see your menu when it is done! Best wishes, David

I need help fixing an expandable menu

Hi,
I'm working on a website that needs to have an expandable menu. I designed it all in Photoshop, and set it up in Dreamweaver so each categorie was image mapped so the subcategories pop up. Here's what it looks like
http://a.imageshack.us/img85/2239/menuhelp.jpg
But then I realized that I cant make the subcategories clickable, and I cant even move the mouse over to them without having them dissapear.
Is there any way to fix this or do I have to start all over?

Have a look here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/AutoWidthVerticalMenuBarSample.htm l or here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=2141544
The latter can easily be transformed into a vertical menu.

Expandable menu on left hand of screen

I have recently downloaded a PDF file which has upgraded my Adobe Reader to V8. Prior to this I was using version 5 where on the left hand side of the screen there was an expandable menu for the contents of the various pages of the document.
In version 8 this menu has been replaced with thumbnails of pages. Is there a particular setting that needs to be selected in V8 to view an expandable menu? We are teaching young children to use Adobe Reader and the expanable menus made navigating a lot easier for them.
I have tried the various toolbars but none appear to reveal the menu.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You can choose between thumbnails, bookmarks, and many others. Note
that while you always have thumbnails, the bookmarks are only there
for certain files.

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.
