Fluid menu bar overlaps

Hi, currently I have a logo set to float to the left and the menu bar to float to the right(layout.css), the problem is when the windows is resized below a certain resolution the menubar overlaps the logo (ends up underneath it). How can I set a certain minimum/maximum resolution for the page? so the fluid logo and menubar dont intersect?
Thanks Dovydas

This is known as a semi-liquid layout. Adjust widths as needed.
#container {
width: 100%;
min-width: 980px;
max-width: 1400px;

Logo being overlapped by menu bar

I'm working on a new layout and my logo will not work in the upper right corner, being overlapped by menu bar. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Here is the Link
and here is the code right now:
<body>
<div id="main">
    <header>
      <div id="logo">
        <div id="logo_text">
          
          <span class="right"><img src="images/eaglehead.png"></span>
          <h1>CHESTER COUNTY</h1>
          <h2>SCHOOL SYSTEM</h2>
        </div>
      </div>
      <nav>

Because your image natural height is 225px while your div#logo height is set to 130px.
If you remove height: 130px; from #logo you will see the logo in its entirety.

Make a logo overlap menu bar

I have a logo picture file that has a transparent background. Below that I have a spry menu bar and then the main box with content. The logo is my name in script. I want the J of my logo to drop down below the top line of the menu bar, just like it would if you were writing on lined paper.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try absolutely positioning the logo,
HTML
Change line 96:
<img src="Images/brown logo.png" width="587" height="195" />
to
<div class="logo"><img src="Images/brown logo.png" width="587" height="195" /></div>
CSS
Add a new rule
.logo {
     position: absolute;
     top: 30px;
     left: 50px;
     z-index: 9999;
Change (starts line 44)
.container {
width: 1260px;
max-width: 1260px;/* a max-width may be desirable to keep this layout from getting too wide on a large monitor. This keeps line length more readable. IE6 does not respect this declaration. */
min-width: 780px; /* the auto value on the sides, coupled with the width, centers the layout. It is not needed if you set the .container's width to 100%. */
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: auto;
height: 550px;
to
.container {
width: 1260px;
max-width: 1260px;/* a max-width may be desirable to keep this layout from getting too wide on a large monitor. This keeps line length more readable. IE6 does not respect this declaration. */
min-width: 780px; /* the auto value on the sides, coupled with the width, centers the layout. It is not needed if you set the .container's width to 100%. */
margin-top: 150px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: auto;
height: 550px;
Play with the values to get your preferred layout.
NOTE ON THE LOGO: http://www.photosbyalecia.com/Images/brown%20logo.png
Don't know if it's the final version or not but, as it stands, that logo is way too big for a web page. Needs optimizing.
It's 3448px x 1301 px scaled down in the web code to 587px x 195px.
Weighs in at 240KB. Should be 15KB max.
Browsers must first download the fullsize file then resize the image.
Suggest you resize it in Photoshop (or your favourite editor) to final size before uploading.

Spry Menu Bar jumps off screen-right in CS6

Frustrating little glitch I'm experiencing. When in a NON-LIVE mode in CS6, I have a Spry Menu Bar that I've placed, customized and is functioning properly. It is precisely in the right location in BOTH live mode and in a browser preview, however, when I am editing the site the menu bar jumps off screen right to where I have to scroll right to locate it. The only thing that pops it back in to place is by tweaking a setting like "Float" from right to left then back to right. But once I begin to edit the site again it will jump off the screen. This isn't a massive deal since it remains in place in live and preview modes, it's just annoying for layout purposes while I'm editing. It sort of screws up the aesthetic of the layout. Has anyone found the same problem? Below is my layout.css and my Spry Menu css.

Spry menu bar woes (add submenu levels and edit width)

So i need some spry menu bar help. Apparently as a graphic designer i'm also expected to webdesign, and while i can solve most problems with a good googling, i seem to be at my wit's end fo this one. So the site i'm doing has a header ith a horizontal spry pop-up menubar (in Dreamweaver CS4). But some problems arise: when i manually add another submenu level, they don't show up in chrome or FF, they do werk perfectly in IE6. I just add the following code to the codepage:
<li><a href="#" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">audio equipment</a>             <ul>               <li><a href="#">Digital Matrix Systems</a></li>               <ul>               <li><a href="#">R2 Digital Audio Matrix</a></li>               </ul>               <li><a href="#">pre-amplifiers & mixers</a></li>               <ul>               <li><a href="#">PMX124</a></li>               </ul>
the PMX never pops open in FF an chrome.. Should i be adding anything else to another part of the code? i'd like my submenu text to have a slight indent? How ever, when i add the indent to ul.menubarhorizontal ul , it elongates the submeny boxes in IE6, while looking normal (width) in chrome and FF. WHat part of the CSS style should i change to just have the text scoot over a bit without it really affecting the box layout? ALso, if anyone could tell me how to add a wee bit of spacing above the text (and beneath), i'd be eternally gratefull. Also, how do i change the with of the submenus? seing as my main buttons are images, but the names i ned to put in my submenus are turning out to be pretty long...

Spry menu bar doesn't appear correctly in IE

Hi guys..
I created a spry menu bar in DW CS4. It looks fine in Firefox but in IE 8, the background image of the navigation bar appears white after allowing activecontrol to run. I didn't include any image for ul.MenuBarHorizontal a because I wanted to use the background image for the div containing the navigation bar.(Hope I didn't confuse you there).. I tried using the search box but couldn't find any solution to my problem. Here are my screen shots.
This is in firefox.
This is in IE 8 before allowing activex.
This is in IE 8 after allowing activex. (Part of the navigation bar is white)
Here's the code.Hope you can help me asap. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for that tip. It does improve it by a whole lot.. i c what my mistake was.. however, something is still off
.. The Drop down menu is not behaving well...
As you may c by the picture, the drop down menu now moves to the right. and is not because of the object to its left, i've modified that. Zinger Products Drop Down Menu also does the same.

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:

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 Submenu won't show in Safari or Dreamweaver LiveView

Sorry if it's something really basic...I'm a noob to web design.
Thanks!

Don't use reserved words in JS
var event = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("events.xml", "catalog/event", {sortOnLoad: "date", sortOrderOnLoad: "descending"});
event is such a reserved word. If you change this to event1 then all is well.
I hope this helps.

Spry menu Bar I.E. positioning issues?

Hi,
I, like many folks I've seen on various forums have the same problem with my spry menu appearing at the top of I.E browsers instead of under the menu bar. I've tried all sorts of fixes that I've found and have updated to the latest version of Spry. I am using CS3. Could anyone please, please help? I'm not sure where else to go as I've spent the last week on the web trying to resolve the issue. Everything works great on Safari and Firefox. My URL is http://www.visiongreeninvestments.org
Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

I see that the online version has already been upgraded to Spry 1.61 and that it now works.

Spry Menu Bar issue, NEED HELP...???

Here is the coding for a menu bar that i created with CS3, for some reason i am having an issue when i open the web page in IE, on firefox and safari it looks fine, the menu drops down to sub menu's fine, but for some reason when i open it in IE, the submenu's show on the very top of the page rather than right below the menu itself, please check my coding and see if there is an issue???
i ran compatability and there are no issues shown.

Spry menu bar not working in IE

Hi there,
This is the first time I'm using Spry. Everything was fine until I tested the site in IE. My top menu moves position upon rollover and the submenu doesn't show at all. I looked at the forums and thought I would add the IE hack into the code, but upon doing that I saw that it was already there. I'm not sure where to go from here. Please help, many thanks in advance!
Update Note: I just noticed it says it's version 1.4. I did update to 1.6. When I check for Spry updates it does say I am using 1.6, but appears to be 1.4 in the css code. Any reason why?

OK... what I needed was a proper update... not sure why it didn't work the first time, but now I am definitely running 1.6. My initial problems are no longer relevant.
However.... this created a few other obstacles. The background color, text color, text-transform, and all hover attributes are not working in IE. Confused I am.

Spry Menu Bar 1.7 Rendering Variable background height based presence/absense of sub-menus

First, let me thank those who have offered help on previous posts on this issue -- the suggestions have pointed me in new directions.
However I am still having problems with the first menu item on the top level of a horizontal menu bar which (because it has no sub-menu) renders the background differently from the other main level items. I have implemented suggestions, as you will see, by setting a class for menu items with sub-menus as per the suggestion, and then proceeding working with line height to make specific changes within that class. However any changes appeared universally through the menu bar at all levels.
Working from that suggestion, I tried establishing a class of "menubarhorizontal_no-sub-menu" and then adjusted the line height for that item. Unfortunately it applied this change again to all items leaving a displeasing white gap between menu items in the drop down menus.
I wanted to put out a call once more. I realize that the problem is in determining which of the rules to style, but I seem to have exhausted the possibilities. The latest version can be seen at www.aclco.org/testing/index.html which will provide a visual of the problem. You can see it doesn't look much different than the original which is http://www.aclco.org/index.html.
I am also including the code for the nav bar which is inserted as a library item into all the pages:

Finally, there is minimal css coding to help position the menu bar within the web page relative to the top of the page, and left edge of the web page.
This is done with a div tag called Main Nav Contents.
#Main_nav_contents {
    padding: 0;
    margin-top: 0px;
    height: auto;
    width: 950px;
    padding-top: 275px;
    padding-left: 35px;
I would very much appreciate any further help that people can provide me. It seems that the trick is to identify the appropriate rule; however that has thus far alluded me.
Thanks,
Steve Webster

what is wrong with my code?
another question. how can i add this "extra" code of the menu bar easily to other existing pages? is manual the only way?
thanks!

This is the head section of your page
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Welcome to MilitaryScaleModelling!</title>
<link href="css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
and that should be
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Welcome to MilitaryScaleModelling!</title>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
The above will solve your problem.

Spry Menu Bar Horiz -- another not rendering in IE8

please believe me that i've searched without success in finding a resolution for this problem.
for Right-Aligned Spry Horizontal Menu bar, IE8 incorrectly renders it on the left after prompting for running scripts or ActiveX controls.
here's the css file: THE ONLY THING CHANGED WAS THE FLOAT DIRECTION in ul.MenuBarHorizontal li (left to right)
.... so what am i missing in getting a horizontal spry menu on the right side of page?

    <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>

When you right float the container (LI) for each menu item, some browsers will do exactly that, float the first menu item to the right, place the second menu item left to that and so forth. Other browsers (IE) will not react to a right float of the container (LI).
The only way to right float the complete menubar is to use the complete container (UL). As with any float, the width has to be specified.
Hence in your case,
change ul.MenuBarHorizontal li back to left float
add a width (32em) and a right float to ul.MenuBarHorizontal
