How to Make a Non-Spry Drop Down Menu Bar?
In Dreamweaver CS6, I'm building a Fluid Grid website. I'm trying to make a simple menu bar with 2 submenu items and 2 subsubmenu items. I was using Spry but found out that Spry is dead. So what do I use instead?
First of all, if you are in a hurry, Project VII's Pop Menu Magic 3 is a great choice. Since it's a Dreamweaver plugin, making navigation is a snap. Just click on the PMM icon and start making.
One does not need CSS3 for a drop-down menu structure—the necessary requirement to talk to a web browser is in CSS2. Also you do not need to load your website with jQuery—though I don't want to come across as "anti-jQuery."
Here is a link to a complete tutorial on pure CSS drop-down navigation. There are dozens of others.
The real secret is using position:relative, then position:absolute for the drop-down and hiding it by positioning it off-screen when not in use. This tutorial also uses some CSS3 for tablets and cell phones, though it is not required for desktops.
You can take this a step further by hiding the entire navigation structure (and then revealing it) for cell phones with this tutorial. This will allow you to construct navigation for your website so that it will work for all devices.
Please note, no jQuery is necessary in either of these tutorials.

Double horizontal spry drop down menu bar problems
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the spry tools and I need a little help. This is what I'm trying to accomplish in Dreamweaver CS4:
I need 2 horizontal spry menu bars for navigation. I have created a div for each spry tool, 1 div placed above the other and they cross the entire width of the page. I have created the spry menu bars. Everything seems to be working correctly in both menu bars, That is until you open the IE browser, all other browsers tested fine. The problem is that when you hover over the bottom menu bar in IE, the drop down menu does not drop all the way down. The first submenu of the drop down menu covers the main menu bar. I have tried to change the css for the spry menu bar at the ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE to show the display: as inline and also tried block and niether had any effect. Someone please help. Thanks.
css spry drop down menu 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;

background: #FFF;
css spry drop down menu 2

Can't get the default spry drop down menu bar ??
Every time I create a new drop down menu bar it comes up with one that has the same properties as the last one I created. And I can't fix that last one. I'd like to start over but DW won't let me. Help?
If you are trying to insert a new menu bar with different properties than the last, for instance when you want to start over with a fresh styling approach, remember that the menubar css file will apply to all menus in the site, unless you distinguish the menus with an id on the containing element (div).
Go ahead and delete the old css file from the SpryAssets folder, if you want to start over. When you insert the new menubar, a new css file will also be installed.
You might find it useful to keep on hand (in a separate folder, out of the site folder) a 'clean' and new menubar css file, for use troubleshooting (by comparing the original with your edited version) or for copying into the site in this kind of situation. But if all you want is a new original copy, just following my suggestion above will work.

DW CS4 Horizontal Spry drop down menu not displaying correctly in Internet Explorer 8
Hi,
I have created a horizontal Spry drop down menu in Dreamweaver CS4 with my own background images. I have done various modifications to the CSS script to accommodate the style and feel needed; including making the main buttons' height twice the size of the sub menu buttons and some alignments. It seems to work different depending which browser is used.
It works well in Google Chrome.
It works well in Firefox with the exception that if any of the buttons are clicked, thereafter a thin black line is diplayed horizontally across center of the top main buttons when the mouse rolls over them. I would like to correct this but is not nearly as bad as the problem I'm having in Internet Explorer 8.
Here is my biggest concern and I would greatly appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this matter.
Once opened in Internet Explorer 8 the main navigation buttons appear as they should. IE8 prompts me the following: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options..". Once I allow IE8 to run scripts or ActiveX controls, the background image disappears and only shows on any menu or submenu button when the mouse rolls over that particular button. Can someone please help.
The menu can be seen at work by clicking on this link:

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.

Thanks in advance for any of your help.
Jose H.Hello Nancy,
I was troubleshooting For the next 8 hours after my post here and eventually I got it right, I uploaded the files to the test server and at the time did not have the chance to post the solution here. This is why, as you saw, it is working correctly now. Both the CSS and HTML files needed modifications. While working on the code I had to run IE8, Chrome and Firefox simultaneously and refresh all three after every change in the code because what would fix the problem in one would cause a problem for the other.
In addition to the problems listed in my original post, there were also other graphical issues in IE8, such as; the main menu buttons without sub-menus would only display at half their size vertically. The border around the buttons would not display despite that the background images were rendered in Photoshop as flattened JPEGs with boarders as part of the background image. Being so, I removed all borders from the CSS script.
By the way.. the IE8 security measure did pop up while working from the server.
Anyhow for those of you who are experiencing similar problems you can take a look at the working code bellow and compare it to the initial code. I've included detail comments on every line I have changed, modified or added.
Good luck.. as I know it can become a complicated task when creating custom Spry menus.
<b>Here is the finished CSS script</b>

Looks like someone responded to this in another forum. Please
do not post in multiple forums as it makes it harder for folks to
be able to find where the question may be answered, especially
don't post in forums like this one that are not focused on the
topic of your question.
FYI: Spry questions can also be asked in the Spry forums:

Hi all.
I created a template and the drop down Spry menu is working fine on local testing on my browser as follows:
I then created a New Page from this above Template. I did no alteration to this new page and just saved it as index.html but when previewing it in the browser, the Spry drop down menu is not working and the page displays as follows:
Here is my site map:
Any help to show where I am going wrong would be much appreciated.
Thanks.Dear Nancy
Very grateful for your reply.
On Design View and Preview in browsers the index.dwt page spry works fine.
When I create a child page from this template page, the child page looks fine in design view but does the spry fails to preview in browsers (the spry just shows as words and not drop down menus).
Here is the code:

Spry drop down menu not lining up
I'm using a Spry drop down menu across the top of my webpage but can't seem to get all the boxes to line up.
For example, my menu bar currently looks somewhat like this:
Home About Staff
Links
All of the boxes are are part of the same spry menu, so I don't understand why this is happening.
This happens in design view, live view, and once I push it to the internet. I've checked the padding on each box and they are all equal. I'm lost as to where else to check.
Any Suggestions?Please post a link to the website so we can view the site in our browsers and offer suggestions.

How do I get the complete drop down Menu?
How do I get the complete drop down menu when I CTRL-Mouse click a folder. I am getting MORE in the bottom, and I need it to be removed.
ThanksThe "More" area in the contextual menu's are bothering quite a few people. It's a feature of Leopard and can't be removed. There may be a hack available, but I'm waiting for some help from Apple...
It reminds me of the Personalized menu's that Microsoft enables by default in some versions of MS Office for Windows. And it's a feature that I turn off immediately after installing Office for a client.

Spry Drop down menu disappearing behind flash mov
Hi Can someone help? I have a spry drop down menu that appears fine in IE but in firefox it disappears behind my flash movie! it appears fine if there is just a image. Any ideas?
This is the wrong part of the forum for this type of problem, and it may be better if you post this type of question (or most questions), to the dreamweaver section.
That said check your position: absolute: statments in your css, as this is often the cause.

Places drop-down menu bar not working
I recently imported my iPhoto library to Aperture. All my geotags are intact as far as I can tell. All seems to be working well with the exception of the drop-down menu bar at the top of Places. It tells me the number of countries, states/provinces, cities, and places, but when I click on any of them, no drop-down happens. The only thing that works is clicking on the home button. Any advice??
Thanks for posting this. This was driving me nuts.
If you haven't already, could you please file a bug report? The more of us who complain, the more likely they are to fix this.
Thanks! -
How to make buttons work in drop down movieclip in flash???
I am trying to make an index page with buttons for a photography site. the entire page is built in flash so far. My question is that I have created a drop down menu that is a Movieclip with 5 buttons. I can not seem to assign an external web page to each buttons that are under the movie clip drop down menu. Is this a possible?? The Movie clip is run by mouse-over the word "studio Gallery" button. This drops down the 5 gallerbuttons (Portrait, children, wedding, Artistic Babies, etc...). In Flash 8 Pro I know I can assign an external web page named children on the main page but how do I assign these to the buttons in the drop down once the movieclip is made. Is this where I need to use folders with extra layers in the folder to make it work??
In case you can not tell I am new to this and have been teaching my self with "Training from the Source" and also "Visual Quickstart Guide" so go easy on me 8-)
RandyNed Murphy,
Your advise was very helpful as I found the info that was very helpful
with the google search. I still have one nagging problem, I get an
error shown below:
*Error* Scene=Scene 1, layer=Buttons, frame=1:Line 2: Mouse events are
permitted only for button instances
on (rollOver) {
Other than the difference of onrelease to on (rollOver) I see no reason
for this error
The clip works but when the mouse rolls out it does not close
the dropdown menu I have included the drop down file here also. I will
be using this to add the resulting "swf" file to the area on my larger
fla to get the menues working but I don't want the menu to stay open
once someone rolls over it if they want to goto an other spot on the page.
I'm 53 yrs old and can not afford much more Hair pulling I will be bald
if the little stuff wins....
Thanks for the help
Randy
What you should do is search Google using "AS2 drop down tutorial". That should produce a few results that you can use to guide you thru the process.
I cannot tell clearly from your description so far, but it sounds like your movieclip contains the buttons and has a rollover assigned to it. That rollover will block interaction with the buttons. So your best bet is to get a hold of a tutorial that will walk you thru the process so that you can get your buttons working the way you want.

Spry Drop Down menu issue in IE
I created a menu bar with Spry and it works fine in Firefox
but playing up in IE. The drop down menu starts displaying from the
top of the page and not where the menu bar is. I have never come

@media screen, projection
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE
display: inline;
f\loat: left;

}No one has any ideas? Someone had mentioned to me that it was
some hybrid code that would have to be inserted to make IE read
differently that Safari, Firefox. Not sure how to go about finding
the code I'd need, though.
Thanks in advance,
