Horizontal submenu on the standard SPRY menu in DWCS3

Could someone help me with how to change the submenu of the
standard Spry Widget in CS3 (Horizontal Menu Bar) also to show in
Horizontal fashion rather than the standard vertical. I checked
past threads but could not any sense of them (I am rather new
altough have a basic understanding of CSS and XHTML). Also, is
there anyone that knows how to add a third level? (also
horizontal). The idea is to have a 1st level horizontal bar that on
hoovering over a tag higlight the second level (to appear just
below it) that relates to it and so on for the second level. So
that the user can see the whole structure while hovering over the
first to levels with the cursor and reach the bottom level (3rd).
Not sure if I am clear but would appreciate any help from someone
that knows more than me.
Regards
A

Hello,
I wonder if anyone can help. I created a Spry menu in DWCS3.
I wanted it to have a transparent background so I tried two things.
The first was to insert 'none' as the value for background-color as
below, and the other was to delete the background-color line
altogether. BOTH ways work fine in Firefox, but neither work in
IE7. In IE7 you get a default white background, which is very
annoying because my menu text is white and therefore you can't read
it. This is the website in
progress here
> Any ideas? Many thanks, Ellie

  • Where is the standard context menu in IE?

    Is the standard IE context menu (cut/copy/paste etc) completely disabled in CE? If I right click an inputfield I can only get usersettings (which I don't want, so they're disabled using administrator ctrl-right click).
    After disabling user personalization I now get no menu at all if I right click an object. I can see that the event get caught by the portal.
    I really want the standard context menu! Please help!
    Regards

    Yes, the browser menu has been replaced completely. You can use keyboard shortcuts for cut/copy/paste.

  • Submenu Font Size in Spry Menu

    I've created a drop down menu using the Horizontal Spry Menu Bar widget and have it looking exactly the way i need it to, except for one thing. I have rthe font size set for 14px, both in the ul.MenuBarHorizontal properties and the ul.MenuBarHorizontal a properties, but I want the font-size in the submenus to be smaller than in the top menu. How can i do that?!
    (I've been fooling and fooling with it, and I've googled it and sarched the adobe forums but can't find any posts addressing this issue, other than here: http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/customize2.php - where David Powers says to be careful about changing font size and does not discuss this particular problem ! )
    Attached is my stylesheet.
    Thank you in advance

    This is one way of doing it
         <li><a href="#" style="font-size: 9px;">Item 1.1</a></li>
    You could also give the tag a class name and include the rule in your style sheet
         <li><a href="#" class="myFont">Item 1.1</a></li>

  • What replaces the CS6 spry menu bar in dreamweaver creative cloud 2014?

    Hi,
    Previously I used Dreamweaver CS6 and the spry menu bar widget (horizontal).  I do not see this in Dreamweaver CC 2014.  I am looking around in the Insert Panel (jQuery UI) but don't think a spry menu bar equivalent is listed.
    Is there such an equivalent built into Dreamweaver CC 2014?

  • Installed Firefox on Windows 7 but the menu and icons bar is full of little horizontal lines over the icons and menu bar..

    I installed Firefox 21 on a new Windows 7 OS. The menu bar and the icon bar at the top of the windows is full of little horizontal lines. Sometimes there are more lines and sometime less lines. It makes the icons and the menu items almost impossible to see. So far it's only the Firefox screen that does this. The other programs I installed so far doesn't do this.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

    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.

    You don't need to upgrade your software.  But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
    If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3.  It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC.  More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

    http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm3/index.htm
    If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins.  A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

  • Problem with Horizontal Spry Menu

    Hi,
    I have trawled through the forum to see if I can find an answer to my problem, but couldnt locate one, so this is my first post.
    I recently built this website for my wifes business and was using a simple menu bar without any dropdowns, just to get the site up and running (healingthreads.com.au). Am now looking to do some enhancements and was looking to use a Spry Horizontal Menu Bar. All was going well in that I was able to insert the menu bar and get it in the right position, however the dropdowns below the top level items (ie. Item 1.1, Item 1.2 etc) are getting hidden behind one of the other DIV's and despite trying changing z-index values, am still not able to get the dropdowns to display in front of the main DIV. Have run out of ideas and am hoping the wisdom of the forum will be able to assist. I have the same problem on the Index page as well as the other pages on the site. The website is fairly basic at the moment and is simply promoting her courses and products.
    Unfortunately am not able to post live code to a server for you to test on, so best that I can do is post the code for a page and for the CSS sheets.  I have left the standard Spry code in place in the source code to show that the problem exists without and fancy changes that I have made to the Spry code. I have also removed the z-index properties that I had been playing around with. So, what I am attaching is the basic code that has the problem.
    Hope someone can help.

    Gramps,
    Thanks for the prompt reply, greatly appreciated here in Sydney.
    Re your response. When I preview the page in both Safari and Firefox, the dropdowns are not visible, just the top layer Items.
    Dont understrand what is going on.
    Am I doing something wrong when I am previewing the file?

  • Help with vertical spry menu bar submenu displaying incorrectly!

    I’m new to Dreamweaver and am learning as I go. I am having a problem with the vertical spry menu bar submenu in the Live View. When I scroll over the spry menu bar option that has a submenu, the submenu appears in the upper right hand corner of my screen. (My menu bar is going down the left hand side.) However, when I preview it in Internet Explorer it looks fine after I allow the Java Script to run or the Active X controls, which my browser usually automatically blocks. (The browser just displays a small message along the top and I click on it to allow it.) To get it to do this much, I had to play around with the CSS for the spry menu bar a little bit.
    Before, when I clicked on the Live View option, a small message ran along the top in Dreamweaver saying it couldn’t find the Flash Plugin and asked me to download the most recent FlashPlayer, which I did twice. It continued to say that and then I just closed that message that kept popping up, but I think that has something to do with the problem. I then researched that problem in the Spry Framework Help and Dreamweaver Help, but couldn’t find a solution that worked. (Someone had posted a link for downloading the Flash Player for Netscape Navigator, but that didn’t seem to do anything.)
    Please also note that I am using one of Dreamweaver’s pre-built layouts. I don’t know if that makes a difference with this problem.
    How do I fix this problem so that it displays correctly in the LiveView? And will the message that I get on my browser about allowing blocked content appear on other people’s computer when they open my website?

    IE is a big problem child among browsers.  Don't use it as your default browser.
    For best results, build your site to display & perform well in the web standards browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Safari & Opera.   If it works in one, it should work pretty much the same in all of them.
    After you're satisfied with how your site looks in the good browsers, then test in IE.  If needed, add hacks or conditional comments to make IE behave.  There are many web sites that discuss known bugs in IE and how to work around them.
    Lastly, the active X nag screens only appear locally.  Once deployed on the remote server, you won't see them.
    For better answers to your layout questions, we need to see your page.  Can you post a URL?

  • Using a background image for the buttons in spry menu

    Hi All,
    Going nuts here.
    I'm using the vertical spry menu widget w DW CS3 and trying
    to alter the css style sheet, so that I can use a li class for each
    of the 14 links on this page, with an upstate and a hover state
    only. (the focus, and hover while down will be the same as the
    others, to keep it simple and not too distracting)
    The page is here that I will be replacing the entire
    background image in sidebar1 and sidebar2 with a custom spry menu
    with the 14 li classes for 2 seperate menus:
    http://audibleimagesav.com/blank_doc.html
    Has anyone used a background image in place of just using
    bkgrd colors and borders for the spry menu ?
    I am aware of the attributes that the help docs suggest that
    need to be altered as listed here :
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Spry/1.4/help.html?content=WS0BB04E11-1BE3-4a67-BC94-BE7DA 93A0159.html
    I have been working on just an experimental page, that is now
    hacked up, however if you want to see that it is here with only the
    first list item coded:
    http://audibleimagesav.com/site%20theme%20ideas/sprymenu_exp.html
    The spry css menu widget for that page is here:
    http://audibleimagesav.com/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarVertical.css
    So in short, has anyone done a bkgrd image for the main menu
    (not submenu) in a spry widget?
    Thanks in advance.

  • In Spry menu, can I make the dropdown colors different from the main one?

    In this menu at the link, I would like to keep "who we are" in the color it is, but make its submenu colors different. I can't see to find in the CSS where to do that without changing both the main and sub menu colors.
    Homepage

    Based on the default Spry menu code you are correct that it is all or nothing.  The only alternative you could do is create your own custom CSS class to use on all sub-menu items on the drop-down to override the colors.  This declaration would need to be after the Spry submenu one that you have found because the browsers will read CSS from start to finish so the later declarations will override the earlier ones.

  • Vertical Spry menu bar--adjusting bottom submenu

    I'm trying to adjust the last submenu on my vertical Spry menu bar. Originally, the submenu caused the page to either expand when I moused over the submenu (in IE), or the page would load with white space below the footer in order to accomodate the submenu when I mouse over it (in Firefox). The adjustment I want is to move the submenu up so that neither of those things happen. I've made the adjustment appear exactly how I want it to in Chrome and Safari, but IE, Firefox, and Opera now have the submenu placed halfway up the page. I can post the code if it's helpful, but I do not have the site hosted anywhere at the moment. The adjustment I made is in the Spry menu's css:
    ul.MenuBarVertical ul#last
    margin: -205% 0 0 95%;
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
    Sarah

    Thanks for the reply. After changing the code to your suggestion, now the submenu loads approximately 80px below the last menu item in all browsers except IE. In IE, the submenu looks the way it did straight out of the box. Any other ideas to try?

  • Change in Standard SAP menu : How to catch the transaction code!

    Hello,
    I have added a menu item 'More Help' to the standard SAP menu 'Help' which should navigate to URLs for the respective transactions. Suppose i am in transaction FB03 and click the 'More Help' menu, it should navigate to the URL mentioned in a table.
    My Problem is I have created a transaction for that menu item 'zhelp' which calls a program and when i am clicking the 'more help' tab , the original value of sy-tcode which should be FB03 is replaced with the new Transaction which is used for the menu item i.e. 'zhelp'. Because of this i am not able to retrieve my value from the table corresponding to the transaction FB03.
    Is there any other system field which stores the value of transaction FB03 aftter navigating to other transaction? How should i go ahead with this? Please help!!
    Edited by: Rojalin Priyadarshiny on Sep 10, 2009 3:45 PM

    Hi,
    I really dont know in how many standard transactions you have added the More Help option.
    If you hav added only in 2  to 3 transactions then you can think on using the below Logic.
    Say if u have added in  FB01, FB02 and FB03 transaction.
    Find one exit for each transaction, in the exit EXPORT TCODE ( EX: FB01 ) to memory.
    In your Ztransaction report IMPORT the TCODE from memory.
    Now u will get FB01 after inmport statement and u can make use of this.
    If the option is added in many transactions , you have to think again in using the above logic as it involves identification of many Exits.

  • Spry Menu Not Working in IE9

    Hey, I'm still pretty new to webdesign and this is my first time using the sprymenu on Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5. I'm using a vertical spry menu and it seems to work fine in Chrome and Firefox but everytime I use it in IE9, I'm prompted first about ActiveX and one of two things happen if I allow "blocked content" or don't allow. When allowing blocked content, my vertical spry menu turns all white and you can not see any of the under images. If you roll over it, the rollover images with text do however show up. As well as the submenus seem to do the same and actually work to some extent. When not allowing blocked content, rollovers and under images display perfectly fine but the submenus no longer show to the right of the parent menus. They don't show at all in general after that. I have been messing around with the css for the spry menu trying to figure out some fix but haven't come across anything similar to my problem after searching hours on end. Any help would appreciated. Below is the code for the vertical spry menu. Thanks!

    It is up to you, you could remove the counter; personally I would leave it there because once the focus has moved from the text area, the number of (remaining) words will show.
    Another solution is to force IE8 standards document mode as in
    <head>
      <!-- Mimic Internet Explorer 8 -->
      <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" >
      <title>My webpage</title>
    </head>
    The problem with the above is that the rendering will also follow IE8 mode.

    Thanks for your help,
    I used the meta tag to emulate IE8 and it works as needed.

  • Spry menu dropdowns stop working

    Hi,
    I have a test site on my own site that I am hoping to put
    live next week - so I'm testing it thouroughly...
    see www.tthonline.co.uk/LBTC
    The problem is, if you go to a 'What's On' page and then use
    a few of the named anchors in the left menu bar to jump to sections
    in the long list of events - after say three or four selections the
    drop downs from the horizontal menu bar stop appearing. I have not
    modified the javascript in any way - my only changes to the
    standard spry setup are CSS based.
    As I say this site was going live next week, so I call this
    urgent

    Problem solved - a typo and the use of a reserved word as an
    anchor...

  • Multiple text colors in my spry menu

    Can I make multiple text colors in my spry menu? I want to match the text color on one of my spry menu items to the hover color so that you know which link you are currently visiting. I haven't posted the site yet until I work out all the kinks. So, to summarize, I have my spry menu link text color (ul.MenuBarVertical a) set to #E00 and my hover color for those items (ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemHover) set to #888. All of the links also contain the same spry menu. I would like the link you're currently in to be #888 and the other links to be #E00 with all of them hovering with color #888. How can I give unique color to an individual menu item? Any help you can give is much appreciated!

    but it does not leave KONTAKT highlighted.
    If you want to check it out my url is http:/www.lsdcoach.com/greiner-engineering. Select GERMAN and the click on KONTAKT. The other menu items without a submenu work great.
