How do I use my index spry menu bar on my other pages?

I'm trying to use the same bar for all of my pages as on the index page, but not all of the information transfers, just some of it. The font and placement, for instance, are different when I try to copy and paste all of the code. However, if I try to start fresh with a new menu bar, it assumes the coloring, and some of the sizing, of my index page bar.
Hopefully the attached files will be enough. My website (obviously a work in progress) is www.uniquehomedesigns.net.
Thanks!

Take this
<div id="banner">
    <ul id="UHD_menu" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
      <li><a href="specialty_painting.html">Specialty Painting</a>      </li>
      <li><a href="repairs&maintenance.html">Repairs & Maintenance</a></li>
      <li><a href="underconstruction.html">Home Makeovers</a></li>
      <li><a href="home_staging.html">Home Staging</a></li>
      <li><a href="underconstruction.html">Contact Information</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>
And cut it from your code. Then open a new document, delete ALL code from it, pastee the above into this new fileand call it menu.inc.php.
Then
In place of where you removed the code, put this
<?php include('menu.inc.php');?>
And you now have an include file that can be put into any new page. If you change this file, it will be changed on all pages that have it.
DO NOT put the js or the css in the new file, leave it where it is. You will have to include these files in any new pages, but you should look into using a template for that.

Having issues linking spry menu bar to my other pages

Hey everyone,
I am brand new to web development. I am currently using the trial of DW and I must say I love it. I am having issues with my spry menu bar though. I will click on a certain box in the menu bar and use the properties page at the bottom and insert a link to another one of my webpages that I have created. However when I test my webpage, it will not be linked to it. Instead it is linked to #, or my index page. Now my domain name is: thecampuscocktail.com. I have created two other pages "feedback.html" and "speedydrinks.html" and even when I enter those manually into my browser (i.e. "thecampuscocktail.com/feedback.html") it gives me a page not found error. So I may be doing something incorrectly with uploading my pages however I have used the "put" option with all of them and I have used the "sync site wide" option. I am also using a template though that shouldn't affect it. Being brand new I know very, very little about coding. But here is the code to my template:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

You need to describe what these issues are.

Spry Menu Bars, Templates and Current Page Indicators

Hello,
If you have a spry menu bar in your design, then create a template, how do you then go about making the menu bar have a current page indicator on each page created from the template?
Thanks,
Ferg.

Can I send you on a different path? This solution will only be required in a non-editable area of the DWT.
First we write a function to initialse the page
function InitPage(){
Spry.$$('#MenuBar1 li').forEach(function(node){
    var a=node.getElementsByTagName("a")[0]; // finds all a elements inside the li, but we only want the first so [0]
    if(a.href == window.location){
        Spry.Utils.addClassName(node,"activeMenuItem");
The function compares the URL of the page with the link in the menubar and if they are both the same, it will add an 'activeMenuItem, class to the menuitem.
Next we nee a trigger to activate the function. This is done with a load listener as per
Spry.Utils.addLoadListener(InitPage);
Now we need to ensure that our active menuitem looks different, by assigning a couple of style rules as in the following. The !important needs to be there to override the JS.
.activeMenuItem a {
    background:#a59a84 !important;
    color:#ffffff !important;
And lastly we need to add SpryDOMUtils.js as the JS script that we based our JS scripts on
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryDOMUtils.js"></script>
The whole thing will look like
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet">
<style>
.activeMenuItem a {
    background:#a59a84 !important;
    color:#ffffff !important;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Item 1</a>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Item 1.1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Item 1.2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Item 1.3</a></li>
    </ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
<li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Item 3</a>
    <ul>
      <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Item 3.1</a>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="#">Item 3.1.1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Item 3.1.2</a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li><a href="#">Item 3.2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Item 3.3</a></li>
    </ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item 4</a></li>
</ul>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js"></script>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryDOMUtils.js"></script>
<script>
function InitPage(){
Spry.$$('#MenuBar1 li').forEach(function(node){
    var a=node.getElementsByTagName("a")[0]; // finds all a elements inside the li, but we only want the first so [0]
    if(a.href == window.location){
        Spry.Utils.addClassName(node,"activeMenuItem");
Spry.Utils.addLoadListener(InitPage);
var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1", {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif", imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
</script>
</body>
</html>

Spry Menu Bar - Help Request

Hello!
I'm using a horizontal spry menu bar with horizontal sub menu
and have almost gotten the navigation exactly how I need it. I'm
stuck, however, and don't know how to fix the following:
1. I have absolute positioning set for my sub menu so that
the items appear under the left-most main menu item instead of
their parent item. When I change screen sizes, the sub menu stays
put (as it should) and everything else moves with the re-size. I
can't figure out where the sub menu positioning is originally set
to change it or how to get it to appear where it currently is
without using absolute positioning.
2. I would like to center the contents of the sub menu and I
think I've tried text-align:center everywhere possible but to no
avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
3. Is there any way that the menu can recongnize the page
that it's on and display the appropriate link high-lighted. For
example, when you open the home page the active/focus state for the
"Home" button shows (for this menu it would be a different color
background image) and it's corresponding sub menu would be
displayed automatically. Would a script do it? Is there anything
like this available?
The following is the page code and accompanying css. I have
not altered the js file. I apologize for not being able to provide
a link, but may be able to do so this evening.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Spry Menu Bar wraps to second line on a few monitors

Hello-
I am stuck on a spry horizontal menu bar and have discussed with a few local dreamweaver users and we can't figure this out. I'm using CS4 to create an internal site for my company (sorry, I can't send you link). I tested the site on firefox and explorer on my computer and everything works beautifully. When going through the soft launch one computer out of the six computers who reviewed the site had an issue with my navigation bar. I used the horizontal spry menu bar to create a navigation with six options. The problem computer wrapped the last two to a second line which makes everything weird on pages within the site.
Screen captures are below. Three images show the main page where the navigation wraps on top of the side column and right column. The second image shows the menu bar wrapping behind the left column on additional site pages which is happening on all additional site pages.
The code for the spry menu assets should be below the images. If you need additional information, if I didn't provide everything, I'll send it. I'm very new to this and pretty much self-taught. I have taken an online class through ed2go.com, I've asked a ton of questions from other designers using Dreamweaver, and I've watched MANY tutorials online. ANY help you can give would be MUCH appreciated. THANK YOU!!

Hi, Mel,
I see that you are using default widths for the list items in the menus. If you reduce the width of the list items, you should be able to settle on a width that works better than 8em and 8.2em.
Here are the bits that will need editing:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
position: relative;
text-align: left;
cursor: pointer;
width: 8em; /* make this width smaller */
float: left;
/* Submenus should appear below their parent (top: 0) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
z-index: 1020;
cursor: default;
width: 8.2em; /* make this width smaller */
position: absolute;
left: -1000em;
background-image: url(/Images/Autry_Background.jpg);
/* Submenu that is showing with class designation MenuBarSubmenuVisible, we set left to auto so it comes onto the screen below its parent menu item */

Trouble with Spry Menu Bar Not Opening on Hover

I have two Spry Menu Bars on this one page. They were both working fine. Now the menu bar on the top right is not opening on rollover. I have uploaded the Spry .JS and .CSSfiles to the server.Could it be that I added 2 to the names of the CSS styles, but not all of them? I just tested them all with 2 after the style name, and it didn't fix it.
I also noticed that the ability to edit these two navigation bars using the Property Inspector went away. I can't seem to click on them to edit. Now I edit them through the code only.
Rebuild it on another page, and paste in the code?
Suggestions?
ALso, getting an error message on line 2 of HTML below, which I don't remember editing.
I will paste the template page HTML, then the CSS, then the Javascript Spry file for Menu Bar Horizontal. I did not edit the JS file at all.
Link to the uploaded files: http://www.sproulcreative.com/filetest/panin_website/
Thanks for any help you can offer.

<h1>A Tradition Food And Sports: <br />

      <h4>Byline: By Jim Bainbridge, The Gazette</h4>
      <p>No Colorado Springs business has had a deeper bond with the Colorado College hockey program during the past three decades than Panino’s Restaurant, a connection seen on its walls, in its clientele and in its bloodlines.<br />
            Panino’s has been tied to the school’s hockey program since the restaurant was bought in 1974 by former CC All-America hockey player Tony Frasca. It’s still the place to be on game day a generation later with his son Mike running things. <a href="http://daily.gazette.com/Repository/ml.asp?Ref=VGhlR2F6ZXR0ZS8yMDA1LzAzLzI5I0FyMDMzMDI=&Mo de=HTML&Locale=english-skin-custom"><span class="smalltext">Click here to view entire article.</span></a><br />

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.

It has to do with all of your absolutely positioned elements. What's happening is that the menu is falling behind the absolutely positioned elements on your page. Since there is nothing there, it's like trying to click a link that is outside your home while you are staring through a window. Personally with that page setup you have now I really don't see a need for absolutely positioned elements. But if you feel you will require them as part of your design you need to ensure the z-index of your menu layer is greater than that of the body elements positioned below it.

Spry Menu Bar CS4

I have used the horizontal Spry Menu Bar for the navigation for my website. I used a tiered system because I needed two levels of drop downs for the menu. When we loaded the site to the web yesterday it worked fine on Mozilla but there was a glitch on IE. Instead of dropping down in a stacking order, the submenus would be lined up horizontally along the screen in a long line. I'm not sure if I need to edit the .css file for the spry menu bar, or the .js file. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Note: I've attached the javascript code AND the css code for reference.

I was just struggling with this, too. I think I have it fixed -- it's looking good in IE7 and IE8 (my standalone of IE6 has conflicts and refuses to open this morning).
You need to update the CSS. Give this a try.
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li
    clear:left;
    float: none;
    background-color: transparent;
     color: #878189;
Take a look -- the menus should be displaying vertically in a list in IE, but you'll see the background color isn't extending to fill the entire list box.
So add the background-color property with the correct color to the ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul entry.
I haven't gone through your code line by line, but those two changes fixed it for me. Let me know if it works.

Spry Menu Bar Editing Links PLEASE HELP

Ok I am a new user and this is my first site and I have a question regarding creating links in the spry menu bar.
I created my home page with a spry menu bar and I have begun creating pages to link to my home page.
My question is when I navigate to another page from my home page my spry menu bar on the second page does not have the links set for the spry menu. Do I have to input all the links again on each additional page or is there an easier way to copy from my home page.
I am creating an online store and my homepage menu bar has over thirty links to products pages. Each page has the original banner and spry menu bar from my home page but the links arent set on any of the products pages. Do I have to go into each one of my thirty pages and create the thirty links to the other pages? and if that is the case what if I want to change or add additional links to the home page for new products launching? Do I have to update the links and spry menu bar on all of the additional pages as well?
If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Any answer would be helpful even if its not the one I want.

If you're not using DW Templates to spawn site pages or Server-Side Includes for sitewide menus, you definitely must edit each menu on each page and upload to your server. Tedious.
Server-Side Includes are a huge time saver. Learn to use them.

How to show active page in Spry Menu Bar using images

Hi,
I have already read this answer "how to show active page in spry menu bar" but I am using images, not text. I have mouse-over and mouse-out working in the Spry Menu Bar using image.png and image-over.png, but I cant' figure out how to get the image-over.png to appear on the active page since the spry menu bar is locked on the individual pages. (I tried to put it in an editable comment, but spry wouldn't go for it. :-)
Any ideas. Here is the code:
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
       <li><a href="../index.html" id="home" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image8','','../images/all_pages/home-over.png',1 )"><img src="../images/all_pages/home.png" alt="Home Page" name="home" width="58" height="20" border="0" id="Image8" /></a></li>
       <li><a href="../show.html" id="show" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('show','','../images/all_pages/show-over.png',1)"><img src="../images/all_pages/show.png" alt="The Show" name="show" width="101" height="20" border="0" id="show" /></a></li>
        <li><a href="../team.html" id="team" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('team','','../images/all_pages/team-over.png',1)"><img src="../images/all_pages/team.png" alt="The Team" name="team" width="97" height="20" border="0" id="team" /></a></li>
        <li><a href="../company.html" id="company" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('company','','../images/all_pages/company-over.png',1)"><img src="../images/all_pages/company.png" alt="The Company" name="company" width="139" height="25" border="0" id="company" /></a></li>
        <li><a href="../beatles-tickets.html" id="tickets" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('tickets','','../images/all_pages/tickets-over.png',1)"><img src="../images/all_pages/tickets.png" alt="Tickets" name="tickets" width="75" height="20" border="0" id="tickets" /></a></li>
        <li><a href="../media.html" id="media" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('media','','../images/all_pages/media-over.png',1)"><img src="../images/all_pages/media.png" alt="Media" name="media" width="61" height="20" border="0" id="media" /></a></li>
        <li><a href="../news-reviews.html" id="news" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('news_reviews','','../images/all_pages/news_reviews-over.png',1 )"><img src="../images/all_pages/news_reviews.png" alt="News-Reviews" name="news_reviews" width="149" height="20" border="0" id="news_reviews" /></a></li>
        <li class="MenuBarHorizontal"><a href="../contact.html" id="contact" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('contact','','../images/all_pages/contact-over.png',1)"><img src="../images/all_pages/contact.png" alt="Contact Us" name="contact" width="79" height="20" border="0" id="contact" /></a></li>
     </ul>
Thanks so much for helping!
Cheers,
Janell

Just found this page:

Update: Drat, it is for text menus only not using images. :-(

How do I remove the gap above my Spry Menu bar?

Hi Folks,
I have an extensive web site which I built over many years and using different programs but have now jettisoned all of thse and work exclusively with Dreamweaver to maintain and improve it myself. To date I have always had to edit each item on each page separately then upload everything to keep my now vast website updated.
I read that if I made an SSi file for my navigation menu then I do not need to edit it on each separate page of my site so long as I load the pages of my site as .shtml files and insert a Server-Side Includes line in the code of my web pages. All great in theory BUT for some reason which is confounding me there is a gap appearing at the top of the page which is not there on the pages which are not .shtml and have my sprymenu embedded in the code.
Rather than attach long code here, it might be easier to see the problem on my live pages. So please go to any page of www.dominicnatoli.com to see how the site looks with the spry menu in each page and then go to say www.dominicnatoli.com/2011.shtml to see one of the newly loaded pages which displays the menu from the file www.dominicnatoli.com/includes/navmenu.shtml. interestingly enough if I open the navmenu.shtml alone it displays at the top of the page but whenever I open it as embedded code on my .shtml content pages it does not display at the top of the page.
I have not completely uploaded all the .shtml files of the site as I have encountered this issue and if I cannot resolve it I will ababndon this course of action and search for another solution so if you click on some of the menu items and it takes you to a dead end that is not in and of itself the problem as not all the .shtml files have been loaded to the server yet.
I have trawled through the css and code to the best of my "limited" ability and am frustrated as I cannot find my error. There ar epossibly hundreds of errors in the pages as this site has been created using many different programs over decades and one of my reason for trying to do this new menu management is part of my overhaul stragtegy which has stumbled already at the first step. LOL I know we say if it ain't broke don't fix it, but I need to sort out a better way of editin the navigation menu universally rather than having to write code into each menu on each page in order for the nav bar to be consistent wite wide.
I would really be grateful if one of you gurus can tell me where I am going wrong so I can replicate the solution for the remained of my pages. I am not sure if the problem is in teh navmenu.shtml page and its associated css or in the other shtml page with its much larger css. Thanks for any help you can give me to sort his out.
I am working on Dreamweaver CC and CS6 ( the latter has an Insert Server Side Includes extension which does not work in CC so I tend to use CC for the main updates and CS6 for the SSI stuff.)
Please let me know if you need any other information or stuff from me. Thanks a lot and
All the best
Dominic

OK Nancy, so I moved the code as you suggested, and it has gone back to showing the nav menu formatted BUT still with a gap at the top.
Here is the new code for the page. BTW it only has 463 lines

/* IE6 rules - you can delete these if you do not want to support IE6 */
/* A note about multiple classes in IE6.
* Some of the rules above use multiple class names on an element for selection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu" (MenuItemWithSubMenu),
* giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in a selector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6 ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets the specificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs as significant. To get around this
* problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.
* Since there are a lot of these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes for modern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class
* syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where
* it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden.
* So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule. We follow this with the single-class rule that it would
* mistakenly override, making sure the misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins.
* We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for
* the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the
* css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support.
* If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditional comments for these rules.

How do I get banner & Spry Menu Bar to appear on every page?

Hi,
I am a new user of Dreamweaver CS6 an a relatively new user to website development in general.
I just followed along through Davide Powers "Creating your first website" tutorial series and found it to be very helpful. I made it through all six parts and managed to get the Check Magazine sample website up and running. I now want to use what I learned to creat my own site, and I am stuck already.
The tutorial does a great job of explaining how to setup a Spry Menu Bar to use for navigation. The tutorial, however, only shows how to put this Spry Menu Bar on the main index.html page. For my actual site, I would like my navigation bar (and my banner) to appear on every one of my pages.
Can anyone here tell me where I can find instructions on the best way to do this?
My navigation requirements are very simple. I just want a common banner with navigation buttons to appear at the top of every one of my pages. The Spry Menu Bar that was created in the tutorial would work great for me assuming I can find a relatively simple way to get it (along with my banner) to appear at the top of every one of my pages.
If it is very complicated to get it to appear on every page (or would require a large time investment in learning advanced techniques), then I would consider passing on the Spry Menu Bar and trying to setup my navigation in a simpler (if more old-fashioned) way.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

If a small, 4-5 page site, make a prototype page with all your columns, headers, footers, menus, etc... and go to File > SaveAs index.html, and then File > SaveAs > page1.html, and then File > SaveAs page2.html, etc...
Or you can save your prototype page as a Dreamweaver Template (.dwt file). Add editable regions for stuff that will change from page to page. Everything outside editable regions is common to all site pages. Then use your Template to spawn site pages. File > New > Page from Template, index.html, page1.html, page2.html, etc.... DW Templates are nice site management tool. But before you use them, read all you can about them in F1 Help as they can be a little tricky to master.
Last but not least, look at Server-Side Includes. They're a huge time saving feature. I use them on every site I build.

How Do I Create an Editable Spry Menu as part of a Template?

I am having considerable trouble trying to work out an issue and hope you can help. I have been working on a webpage that I would like to be a template for a fundraiser we are doing. I used a horizontal spry menu and a vertical spry menu. I have two youtube videos that I would like embedded on the page, but I would like the flexibility to change them for different pages. I am trying to make my horizontal and vertical spry menus editable since I am going to be making pages for all items in the menus. I can't seem to set this up correctly. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? I have been able to set up editable regions according to my template file, however, when I open the template, I am unable to edit the spry menus or edit the youtube videos. Setting up editable regions also seems to change the look of my page.
Here is what I would like all the pages to look like: http://www.ymimusic.com/shoppers_guide.html
But this is how it looks presently when I try to make a page from the template I created following the instructions from the course: http://www.ymimusic.com/test.html
Since I cannot get the template to work the way I would like, I have not created any links yet. I can send you the template and html page if this will help. Thank you for your help in advance./p>

Murray,
I am just opening your responses now. I will try to clarify again. "There's the rub. This is not a wise choice. A completely different menu in each page will not only confuse your visitors, it will drive you insane. I strongly suggest you not do this." You were referring to "What throws us off the track is your wish to be able to have a different menubar in each page. In that case the menubar will need to be in an editable region."
What I am simply trying to do is this: If I create a menu that has the following links: About Us, Products, and Contact Us on one page, I want my customers to see the SAME menu on the About Us page, the Products page and the Contact Us page. I am NOT creating different menus on each page. I am trying to automate the format by creating a template that will show these links on each page without me redoing it every page.
When I attempted this, and created a page from the template, I could not get into the menu to assign links to different pages. Using the above example, If I created my About Us page as the template for the site, then created the Products page from the template, I need the ability to assign the links on the Products page to the About Us and Contact Us pages. The page created from the template does not allow me to do this. I cannot get in to assign the links in the Properties section of Dreamweaver. I even attempted to do the following action in the .dwt file I created:
Modify > Templates > Make Attribute Editable
I did this to make the links editable after creating the template. This obviously didn't work.
To summarize: I do NOT want to make different menus on each page. I simply want to create the two menus you see (one horizontal and one vertical) that will be part of the template. I am trying figure out when I assign the links and How. I will go back and read your notes as well as read the help section (F1) as you requested, however that is why I contacted you; I did not understand what I was doing wrong. I have been working with a course series in Lynda.com that has explained much of what to do up to my problem spot, I simply need to understand the concept.
Thank you for your assistance.

How can you create a spry menu bar with no background colour?

How can you create the first level of a spry menu bar to have no colour? I have a coloured background right now and the colour matches when you load the site in Internet explorer but does not match in Firefox. Any suggestions are welcomed on how to fix this.
Thanks!
HK

Here is the site:
http://partnersnaturally.ca/
I am learning with code, (obviously) so any feedback would be nice. I use dreamweaver CS4, but when I originally designed the site it was in a much older version of dreamweaver. I wonder if that could also be a cause. (besides human error)
Thanks again,
HK

How to remove empty space in CSS table and move spry menu bar?

Hello! I created www.stonecreekha.com about a year ago basically by watching youtube tutorials and haven't done much with it since so I've forgotten everything! In IE7, everything appears as it should; but in Firefox and IE8, the spry menu bar is positioned slightly higher than it should be (it slightly cuts off the foot of the golfer) and there is an empty space between the navigation bar and the photo. The source code can be viewed from the website. Here are some pics:
IE7 - how it is supposed to look:
IE8:
Firefox:
Dreamweaver:
So basically, I need to know how to remove that empty space between the navigation bar and the picture, and how to move the spry menu bar down a few pixels, in a way that it looks correct in IE8 and Firefox, and preferably IE7 as well.
P.S. I'm a noob so if you could be as specific as possible on what to do in Dreamweaver I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

I belive it's because of the -minus margin being used on the navbar, that you will need to use a negative margin to bring up both the left and right bodyArea divs.
Try : margin-top: -18px; on both divs. You may need to play around with that to get it more precise.
Again, not sure what effect that has on IE as I can't test it.
If it affects IE, then you may need to feed IE a conditional comment for the placement of those divs.

BROWSER HACKS: the hacks below should not be changed unless you are an expert
/* HACK FOR IE: to make sure the sub menus show above form controls, we underlay each submenu with an iframe */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal iframe
          position: absolute;
          z-index: 1010;
          filter:alpha(opacity:0.1);
/* HACK FOR IE: to stabilize appearance of menu items; the slash in float is to keep IE 5.0 from parsing */
@media screen, projection
          ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE
                    display: inline;
                    f\loat: left;
                    background: #FFF;

Change
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
          margin: 0;
          padding: 0;
          list-style-type: none;
          font-size: 100%;
          z-index: 1020;
          cursor: default;
          width: 11em;
          left: -1000em;
          position: relative;
