Horizontal Spry Menu and Header Collapse in Browser

If you look at this webpage in anything other than IE (specifically Safari), the header and spry menu are kind of collapsed into about a 600px frame, as opposed to the designated 800px area. Any thoughts on why this is happening? It looks fine in IE however... hmmm
Thanks

Der nevermind. Answered my own question by opening my eyes.

  • Horizontal spry menu floats around differently in FF and IE

    Hi there !!
    I would like to ask you about the following:
    When I use a horizontal spry menu and have it adjusted for FireFox, I get a result I can live with.
    Except that the submenu's under the heading 'cultuur' and 'projekt' do not slide down altogether, but are horizontal as well...
    How can I fix it so that they are positioned under its 'parent' ??
    But that's my minor question, actually...
    When I open my site in Internet Explorer (7 & 8) the spry menu looks different; it is far more stretched. First it also floated left, but I managed to fix that. The major problem is that the submenu's appear on the left of the page. I can't get them under their respective parents at all.
    Can you please help me with that?
    My site:
    www.mnette.nl
    (if you need more info, I'm glad to provide it )

    When I use the original SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, your page behaves extremely well. I realise that you wish to customise the menu to suit your site, but these modifications are to be made under strict rules so that the cross browser functionality is not compromised.
    Have a look at the following 10 commandments http://dwcourse.com/dreamweaver/ten-commandments-spry-menubars.php#one
    May I suggest that you ressurrect the original style sheet and work your way from there making sure that you keep to the above commandments.
    If you still have problems, please come back here for further assistance.

  • Header, Spry Menu and Body not properly aligned

    Please take a look at my page http://www.seanmccuedesign.com/shemwebsitenew/index.html and tell me why the Header, Horizontal Spry Menu and Body are wonky and not aligned properly.
    Thanks very much,
    Sean

    The header is a bit to the left, the spry menu hangs too far to the right, and the body is too far to the right as well. I simply need them all centered...

  • Horizontal Spry Menu appears as bullet point list in IE8 and below - fine in firefox, chrome and IE9

    This one is breaking my brain! I have an horizontal spry menu bar in my website that renders correctly in all browsers except ie 8 and below where it appears like an unordered list - almost like no CSS had been applied at all. You can check out the site here http://www.webhance.com.au. The spry css looks like this:

    Hi Gramps - thanks for getting back to me - I took advantage of your advice to others with some other issues I had and they worked a charm so I was really hoping to hear from you :-)
    Unfortunately removing media="only screen and (min-width: 769px) from the css call didn't resolve the problem.  Check it out on my index page www.webhance.com.au/index.html Any other ideas?
    Cheers, Julester

  • Horizontal spry menu style appears turned off when on the internet though can view it in live mode!?

    The style of the horizontal spry menu seems as to have been turned off when on the web though is visible and functioning on CS4 Dreamweaver design and live views. I have styled the spry menu and can view it in the properties section though the style setting is there on the internet it looks as if the styles have turned off and appears unformatted vertically when it should be a cascading horizontal menu bar. Not sure where the error is, I have looked at the coding and as I'm not the most experienced with spry.....
    this is the coding above the head.
    <script src="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript">
    <link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <!--
    var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1", {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif", imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
    //-->
    </script>
    I have noticed that SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css doesn't appear in the spry assets folder, does this matter? (not sure how to insert into the assets menu).  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    thanks for testing it. I'm not sure how to proceed though as the css file is in my local_sites/spry assets folder for the website. I've tried to point it to other (copies of SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css) and spry assets folder externally from the site and again internally in the root folder and seems to make little or no difference.
    Your suggestion of what it should read,(sorry to sound so naive at all this) though would you mind giving a step-by-step guide on how to go about it? as I'm obviously missing something in the setup process.
    thanks again for your help.

  • How to make Spry menu and submenu backgrounds different

    Hi all. I have a horizontal spry menu bar, and i'm using a gradient image for the background of the main menu, but I want the submenu to just be a solid color. I figure i should just be able to use css for this solid BG, but I can create an image no problem if need be. I just think it looks unprofessional to have multiple segments of a horizontal gradient stacked vertically. I know this is possible, the second to last example on this link demonstrates but doesn't explain:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/MenuBarSample.html
    I would greatly appreciate any available help on this subject!  Thanks again!

    The idea with putting the new styles *after* the original styles is that they are logically similar to but 'sub' styles to existing styles. In fact, you could probably put them way at the bottom, but if you wanted to edit them you might not find them again easily. I was trying to keep similar style rules together.

  • HELP PLEASE!!! Horizontal Spry Menu

    I'm having trouble with my horizontal spry menu. I have added
    it and it looks great in Firefox. No problems at all, exactly how I
    like it. But when previewed in Internet Explorer it doesn't show at
    all. There's nothing. I've inserted the "mark of the web." Nothing.
    I don't really know where I'm going wrong. I'm relatively new to
    Dreamweaver and am using CS4. Can someone please help?

    Thank you Beth,
    That has helped me a great deal, there is still a slight problem though... while the menus are falling vertically now they are not inline with the menu buttons, (slightly to the right each time).
    You suggested I upload the website to a server but I am not at this stage yet and I'm not sure how to do this either! I don't know if it's possible to help me without this? My code is still the same, the only difference now being that both ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul  and ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li  have stated widths as you suggested; 8em.
    Maybe this will help show you the problem:
    I know this is really bad quality I think you can see how the sub menu isn't directly underneath the heading (highlighted in blue). I want the sub heading to be inline with the 'About us' heading, do you know how to do this?
    Thank very much for the help so far,
    Kyra

  • ERROR with Horizontal Spry Menu & IE 7 ONLY!

    I created a new website with CS3 adding a horizontal Spry Menu across the top of the page.  I am having a problem with this menu in Internet Explorer 7 ONLY!  I don't have this problem with Firefox, Chrome or Safari.  I wouldn't care so much but IE is the dominant browser.  The site is: http://www.sunscapesolar.net.  The problem is that when you mouse over any of the top-level menu titles that have sub-menus below like: PRODUCTS, SYSTEMS, INCENTIVES, etc., the body text shifts down and I get a white box popping up that says "false." I've checked everything I know but since DW created the javascript code, I don't know where to go.  I have posted this problem three times and nobody has responded!  Someone has to know what's wrong!  Please help...  I don't want to create the site from scratch. . .
    Thanks in advance...

  • Can you have a different colour horizontal Spry menu on multiple pages?

    Hi,
    I'm fairly new to Dreamweaver and CSS. So please forgive me ignorance.
    I've created a page with a horizontal spry menu bar, and have edited it according to how I want it to look.. Brilliant!. The problem I have is I want the exact same menu bar on multiple pages but using a different colour scheme for a couple of the pages!. Is this possible? Thanks

  • Level 2 Submenu problems - Horizontal Spry Menu

    Okay, I have successfully implemented a horizontal spry menu. Most links don't have drop downs but there are some that has submenus. For example.
    Main Link
       > Products
       > Services
              Service 1
              Service 2
              Service 3
    etc
    The 1st submenu works fine (i.e. the one that would show products and services) and the second level submenu links work okay as well (ie Service 1, 2 etc) BUT ONLY in Firefox, Safari and Chrome. I CANNOT for life nor money get the second submenu to work in ie8. It just doesn't show! I need help urgently!
    The site is in design process so there isn't a URL yet. If it would be helpful, I could upload everything onto my server so the files can be viewed. Just let me know what is required.
    Has anyone encountered anything like this before? All very weird...and needless to say...very annoying too.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Update - it's a problem with opacity!
    I wnated to have a submenu with 0.85 opacity. I had the following CSS in the file:
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
    filter:alpha(opacity=85);
        -moz-opacity:0.85;
        -khtml-opacity: 0.85;
        opacity: 0.85;
    This resulted in the second submenu disappearing in IE8...but it worked okay in all the other browsers.
    Any idea for submenus with opacity in IE??

  • Horizontal Spry Menu displays incorrectly in Explorer

    I looked in other discussions to find an answer to this, but I can't find the right answer.
    My issue is that my Horizontal Spry Menu Bar, which displays correctly in Firefox and Chrome, displays vertically and on the left side of the page in Explorer.
    I had a heck of a time getting the Menu Bar to work at all, so I'm sure there are issues in the coding, but don't know what they are.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Horizontal Spry Menu Breaks in IE6

    I have created an horizontal spry menu using the spry widget
    in DreamWeaver CS3. I would like the width of each menu item to
    adjust to the text (width: auto;) and that works fine in current
    browsers (FireFox, IE7, Opera, Netscape) but in IE6 the menu items
    are displayed vertically instead of horizontally. As soon as I give
    them a width, it displays appropriately in IE6, but that changes
    the look. You can see the page in question at
    http://www.inachordwebdesign.com/ccc/test.html
    Is there any way to work around this problem with the older
    IE versions?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if
    I need to upload any code. This is one of my first posts, so I'm
    not sure what all I need to post.
    Thanks!

    I have updated the Spry Assets as suggested, but still have
    the same results. Removing the float:left for the menu bar doesn't
    help with the item alignment in IE6 and actually introduces a
    problem in the current version of Firefox, so that isn't the
    problem either.
    Any other thoughts? The only thing that seems to force the
    menu bar to display horizontally in IE is to have fixed widths for
    the list items in the unordered list (ul.MenuBarHorizontal li). As
    soon as I change that from a defined width to auto, or remove the
    width designation altogether, it falls back to a vertical
    arrangement in IE6, though it works in all the more recent browsers
    just fine. We'd rally prefer to let the list items size
    automatically, but if there is no way around it, I'll have to try
    to replicate that effect by assigning a different width to each
    item. That will add a lot of extra code, unfortunately.
    Thanks.

  • Spry menu and Explorer

    I'm a beginner with DW and CSS. In Dreamweaver cs3 if I make
    a new page and put the spry vertical menu on it, then preview in IE
    (5.2 for the Mac), it doesn't work. It does work in every other
    browser. What do I have to do in order to get this to work in
    Explorer?
    I've made a 35 page site with a spry menu and I do hope there
    is a way to fix this.
    thanks!

    1: Don't use Spry. It has been discontinued by Adobe.
    2: There are tools out there that will excellently do what you are looking to do as a Dreamweaver Plugin. This includes having text over a repeating image background, like the one you have there.
    3: There is a pure CSS method that will allow you to learn how to build exactly what you want.
    One from Line 25.
    One from CSSWizardry.
    One that includes a generator.
    One that includes gradients.
    A really good tutorial from Rob Glazebrook.
    One that uses just 12 lines of JavaScript.
    So, don't use Spry. Use the ones above. If you don't want to have to learn anything, simply download the one from Project Seven, install the plugin, craft the menu and, Bob's your uncle. Easy to maintain and add onto as well. Worth the money spent.
    The rest of the ones do require some knowledge of HTML and CSS and, if you are going to continue to develop for the web, I recommend you learn those things.

  • Help with a very simple horizontal Spry menu

    Hi,
    I’ve always received great help here and I’m sure that if I explain the issue I’m having properly I’ll get some good input.
    This is to do with a very simple horizontal Spry menu, there’s no dropdown involved, only a color change on the rollover.  The menu items are in a shade of blue, then on the rollover each menu item changes to a shade of red, the font color remains white for both.
    What’s mentioned above works flawlessly, the problem I’m having is this … On the rollover when the menu block items turn red, I’m attempting to add a 1px border around the entire block, but when I do the block item seems to want to change its width and height slightly when it’s rolled-over.  As I said, without the border it works perfect.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    You also have to apply the border to the 'a' css selector. If you just apply it to the 'a:hover' css selector then the tab will grow slightly bigger because its adding more width and height to the overall structure.

  • Horizontal Spry Menu doesn't display correctly in browser.  Displays correctly in live view and prev

    Hello,
    I am new to web building and am having trouble with my Spry menu.  It won't display correctly.

    Please Help!!
    Thanks,

    #1 Upload your Spry Assets folder to your remote server.  The necessary CSS & JavaScript files are 404 not found.   That's why your menu looks un-styled.
    #2 Loud, gratuitous, unsolicited music on web sites is a very bad idea.  It forces a lot of people to click away from your site and never return.   It so happens I was listening to other media when I clicked on your site.  That cacophony of competing noise was not the least bit enjoyable.
