Horizontal Menu Help
Hello all,
I am working on a site for a client in which I need to get a menu like this working:
When the user scrolls over the work tab, I want "Print, web, ect..." to appear horiztonally underneath and be clickable. Every button has a roll over effect.
I figured doing this is in flash might be the best way to do it, but I have 0% knowledge with Flash.
I don't expect you to give me teh codez, but if you could point me in the right direction/give some advice on how to best do this, I would greatly appreciate it.

I've tried to figure this out reading the live docs and
can't, so asking for some suggestions here.
The horizontal menu items created using spry don't look
right. "News & Press" is spaced closer to "Contact Us" because
the text is longer. I don't know how to get the individual links
spaced more appropriately.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

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 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.

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.....

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
TeresaHello 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. -

Spry Horizontal Menu - Need Submenu HELP!
Using DW CS3 - Spry v. 1.6.1
I've created a horizontal menu with drop down submenus. After
many hours, I finally figured out how to change the background of
the main menu items, but cannot for the life of me figure out how
to style the submenus without screwing up the main menu. I'm a
newbie to CSS and Spry and am very confused by some of the class
designations used in the style sheet.
If you can just tell me what in the stylesheet to change I
will forever grateful!
Thanks!
ps - If you're an Adobe person reading this, I found the
comments to not be very helpful, they're a bit confusing for new
users....Simply, your menu list items are too wide (altogether) to fit on the same line.
I see that you have defined your div#container as 1000px, and your div#nav_bar as, well, it will default to 1000px. Then you have set your MenuBar to 80% of that width, and your list items as 16.8% of that.
So far, everything is flexible.
When you get down to ul.MenuBarHorizontal a, however, you have set padding: padding: 0.5em 0.75em; If you change your padding units to percentages, you should be able to find acceptable measures that will allow your list items to remain on one line.
Keep in mind that, as the following references notes, in some browsers padding is measured in addition to the stated width of your element:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_box_model_bug
So make sure ALL your percentages add to 100%...including the horizontal padding (for both sides!) and the width (don't add in the vertical padding...that could be left as is). Actually, add them up to slightly less than 100% for comfort. If you get a gap at the end of the menubar, center the menubar and apply a background to the containing div.

I need help!! I finished three beautifull webs in MUSE but i have a problem (three problems). When i make the preview of the site in MUSE everything it´s perfect, a beautiful orange horizontal menu screens ok, but when i publish in Catalyst or in my server the web dosen´t shows the "real" aspect. The menu option disappears (Buttons) and all the head section changes breaking the structure. Is this a mistake of my work or it´s a Bug? Here is one example of what i´m saying. http://edac.businesscatalyst.com/index.html Here is an Screenshot of how it should be viewed. http://www.miguelrua.com Thanks! :))
Hi Miguel,
When I check the link at my end, I see no differences between the menu on the site and the menu in the screenshot you provided. In fact, the only difference I see is an accordion used in the site, which is not there in the screenshot (Adding a screenshot for your reference). It looks like you made some changes to the site, which seem to have resolved the problem.
Kind Regards

SOS! PLEASE HELP! IE BUG AND HORIZONTAL MENU
Hi guys,
Even though it works fine in firefox etc, ie just won't
render my horizontal menu without putting a medium thick white band
at the top of the menu container and inbetween each of the submenus
- really beginning to do my head in as I don't know the hack for
this. Please help - I'm sure it's really simple. Here's my homepage
http://www.weddingsongbird.com/index.html
Thanks JThis may be a too obvious, but did you try:
<div id="banner"><img src="Summer-Tree.gif"
width="877" height="222" /></div>
instead of:
<div id="banner"> <img src="Summer-Tree.gif"
width="877" height="222" /></div>
Sometimes, white spaces, returns, and other invisible
characters mess with the HTML rendering. -
Spry Horizontal Menu Submenus Won't Appear - Help
OK, I have a Spry Horizontal Menu Bar done through DW CS5. The root menu items work just fine. And the arrow graphics indicating there are submenus are shown, however when you hover over the main menu item the submenus do not appear in browser preview. The spry menu bar is located in the header div above a main content div and a sidebar div (two column layout). Interestingly enough if I drop a new menu bar in the main content div with sample submenus it works fine, so the css file must be ok because they both read off the same css file.
My only assumption is there is something in the header code which conflicts with the submenus and is not allowing the submenus to appear. Unfortunately I can't post it only in a test location as I am reworking an existing website and when I post the new css file it will obviously change the existing website.
But here is some of the relevant code. First the HTML for the section in question.
I very much appeciate any advice.

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.

How do I change vertical menu to a horizontal menu in Dreamweaver CS5?
Doing a website (my first) for a friend of mine. Followed the Adobe tutorial for a lot of it (with Paul Trani) and have everything done but now my friend wants the menu bar to be horizontal instead of vertical. (I have other questions but this is the big one for now) I do have a CSS file that is linked to all 4 pages. I have hunted and searched to no avail. The page started out as a template (2 column fixed, left sidebar, header and footer). I am hoping I just have to paste some code into it and have found a few suggestions on the web but nothing seems to work. I did get it to the point with a list with no bullets with no background but can't get it to go horizontal. Then code started showing up on my design page and I gave up and turned to this forum. I would hate to start over. I do not even see a template that has a horizontal menu on it for one of the choices. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think you are confused about how to differentiate between horizontal navigation and vertical navigation.
In HTML, both are exactly the same. You use a list. So both will be just like you describe them:
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Link one</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link two</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link three</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link four</a></li>
</ul>
Now, there's your navigation. Done. So how do we do an horizontal nav? Well we tell web browsers to format our HTML code in a style sheet, called a Cascading Style Sheet, or CSS. So let's give the <ul> a tag that tells the browser that it's not just a simple unordered list; it's special and has to be set up a certain way:
<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="#">Link one</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link two</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link three</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link four</a></li>
</ul>
Now, let's go to our style sheet and create the style for the id "nav." And remember, anything with an ID on a web page must occur only once. If you're going to have several "nav" tags on your page, you have to make a class. The difference (in CSS) between a class and an id is the use of a hash "#" for an id and a dot "." for a class.
So here's the CSS for the horizontal navigation:
#nav {
width: 100%;
float: left;
margin: 0 0 3em 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
background-color: #f2f2f2;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
#nav li {
float: left;
#nav li a {
display: block;
padding: 8px 15px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
color: #069;
border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
#nav li a:hover {
color: #c00;
background-color: #fff;
Here you're floating both the list and the list items left. Floating the list items left is what pulls them into a nice horizontal row, stacking the items from left to right. However, because of how floats behave, the containing list will collapse to a height of zero unless it is also floated left.
And that wouldn’t be a major problem, except the list has a background color and if the list collapses, that background color won't show. This way, it’ll fill up the entire width of the page (or of its container, if it’s in a container with a width set).
Additionally, the only margin you see will be the bottom one, so the list items will make their own margins and behave themselves. The list-style is set to “none,” which removes the bullets.
Now all navigation will certainly be a link, so I style the list items that are links (#nav li a) with padding that will space them out, get rid of the default underline, setting the text decoration to none, making them bold and creating a thin right border. Then I change the color on the nav for a hover.
Now, vertical is the default for a list.
Here's the difference:
You keep list-style: none;
You get rid of your floats.
You get rid of the 100% width, unless you have it corralled in a containing div, like a left or right sidebar.
Boom! you're done.

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.

Horizontal Menu Bar - Not displaying correctly in Internet Explorer
My issues are occuring in Internet Explorer 8 and 7, haven't tested earlier versions.
I am currently using DW CS5, Spry 1.6.1
The website (not yet complete) is at www3.sympatico.ca/mitchell.richard/
The menu bar as viewed in Firefox is correct. In Internet Explorer the menu bar is left justified, hides visited links, and lists horizontal menu items in reverse order.
I work for a Women's Shelter in Canada, as the Information Systems Manager. We don't have the funds to hire someone to build a website and it was decided and I quote "You know computers, you can buld the website". I couldn't get them to understand the analogy that just because a Neurosurgeon can use a scalpel he isn't a Cardiothoracic Surgeon... needless to say, I am floudering on this menu bar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Below is the source for my menubar

The red coloured line causes your menu to be displayed the wrong way round in FF. IE shows the menu as you have listed it with Contact Us as the first item.
Advice:
change the float to left so that the listed items start on the left hand side
change the listed items in the order that you want them to appear.
