I need help with my SPRY MENU BAR

Hi everyone,
I have installed a Horizontal and Vertical Spry Menu Bar.
It looks great, but I can not figure this out.
When I click on any of the links on the bars,
my text jumps to the righ
Can someone please tell me how I can make
the text to stop jumping.
My test page is located at the link below:
http://www.tonyasdynamicdesigns.com/gregs-pages/index.html
Thank you so much for your help,
Tonya

I know that the problem is in my main-css.css because
when I deleted this css code, the text jumping stopped.
I can not figure out how to fix my main-css.css style.
Can you please help me?
Below is part of my css code
that is causing the problem.

Help with a Spry Menu Bar

I'm having trouble with a Spry Menu Bar not displaying
correctly in Internet Explorer, while it displays fine in every
other browser I have available. I've done some searching on these
boards, but the queries I've found with the same type of problem
each has a knowledgeable person editing the code for the
poster...and I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
So, below is my link. What you'll see if viewed in Explorer
is that the "Clinics" listing and the "Services & Specialties"
listing are each on the same horizontal line, rather than vertical
like the rest of the menu. If anyone can help me in correcting this
problem, I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks in advance.
http://www.chambershospital.com/temp/about.html

Hello,
You might try removing all of the <div> tags you
inserted in the menu.
This can happen if you select text in design view and use the
"align" icons
in the properties window instead of using CSS to align
things.
For example:
<li>
<div align="left"><<****REMOVE THIS
<a href="clinics.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Clinics</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="clinic.html">Chambers
Clinic</a></li>
<li><a href="clinic7.html">Scenic 7
Clinic</a></li>
</ul>
</div><<*** REMOVE THIS
</li>
So it looks like this:
<li><a href="clinics.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Clinics</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="clinic.html">Chambers
Clinic</a></li>
<li><a href="clinic7.html">Scenic 7
Clinic</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
Repeat for all the other <div align="left"> and
</div> tags in the menu.
Take care,
Tim

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?

IE problems with vertical spry menu bar

hi,
first of all: I'm aware that this problem has been discussed
before. but nothing I've found so far has really helped me.
the problem is that my vertical spry menu bar doesn't work
properly with the internet explorer. I've (clumsily) repositioned
the submenu bars, but that didn't seem to be the main problem.
I'm using dreamweaver cs3 on a mac and have checked for
safari and firefox, in which everything works fine. I'd be very
grateful if someone could have a look at
www.philipbirau.com/portfolio.htm.
unfortunatly, I have neither the skills nor the money for
'professional' webdesign, so any hint will be appreciated. if you
need more information, please let me know.
thanks!

Hi I'm new to Dreamweaver,
I having trouble with a new site I'm making in CS4. A problem with a vertical menu bar, in IE. Can anyone help?
1. The text is left aligned and should be centered.
2. The menu bar has moved left
3. My paragraph text has moved up the page and aligned itself to the to the menu bar.

I'm finding dreamweaver a bit clunky, reading the 'Missing Manual' but still very frustrating. Any one have any idea's/

Sorry, but your CSS is has been mangled beyound recognition.
The solution is to start with an untouched style sheet. Then add or modify the CSS testing in your browsers as you make the changes.
Have a look at the following where I have positioned the menu. All that is now required is the styling for font and the hover event.

Help with vertical Spry menu

I posted this in the general forum, but thought I'd repost
here since this is more specific to Spry.
I'm having issues in IE (6 & 7...surprise, surprise) with
my vertical spry menu. It displays exactly the way I want it when I
use Opera. I think it has to do with the whitespace:nowrap on the
2nd level menu items, but I really don't know. I want the 2nd level
menu to be different width than the 3rd level, so I have both
levels set to auto width with nowrap.
This is how it looks in IE 7:
Menu
in IE
This is how it looks in Opera (correct):
Menu
in Opera
Attached is my CSS as well. Let me know if you need the HTML,
too.
Thank you for helping!

I need help with the navigation menu please?

I have been working my way through your six part printed instructions and I am styling the header and navigation menu. The bullet points disappeared which was correct and the tabs moved to the right, as they should, but one tab sits underneath another tab and all tabs are covered up by my main heading. This is dreamweaver CS6.
It looks a bit of a mess!

I have moved this to the main Dreamweaver forum, as the other forum is intended to deal with the Getting Started video tutorial.
The best way to get help with layout problems is to upload the files to a website and post the URL in the forum. Someone can then look at the code, and identify the problem. Judging from your description, it sounds as though the Document window is narrow, which would result in the final menu tab dropping down to the next row. Try turning on Live view or previewing the page in a browser. Design view gives only an approximate idea of the final layout. Live view renders the page as it should look in a browser.

Help with my moving menu bar in my webpage

Hello,
First of all I am completley new to webdesign and have no clue what I am doing so you will probably see me posting alot in the upcomming weeks. Im trying to create a wepbage for our youthministry at church. The webpage is www.ccifuel.com. My first question is about the navigation menu on it. It seems to move from one place to another when the web browser expands and I would like it to stay in a fixed position over the image. How do I do that? My last question is that im trying to creat a form to collect email addresses to start a newsletter in the box labeled "Join our mailing list!" but when I try to enter a spry validation text field it says, "You cannot insert this widget into an editable region..." and so on. Any idea how to make that area locked so i can insert a form there or would there be a better way to do this? thanks for all the help in advance!

First of all I am completley new to webdesign and have no clue what I am doing so you will probably see me posting alot in the upcomming weeks.
In that case, you really should work your way through some tutorials first. These aren't hard and they'll give you basic skills to work with X/HTML & CSS.

Your best course of action is to build your HTML content so that it flows naturally from top of page to bottom. Then use CSS default positioning (which is no positioning at all) along with floats, margins and padding to align elements on page.

Need help with pop-up menu and applied Rules

I'm working on a spreadsheet that calculates my profit and losses. I drive a big rig so it needs to keep track of a lot of variables so I know if I'm going to make money on a run or lose money.
I get fuel discounts of various amounts depending on which vendor I fuel at.
I went to a section of the sheet and did a pop-up menu that contains the vendor names.
In the trip section I have cost of fuel per gallon, gallons purchased, total fuel cost, cost minus fuel surcharge.
What I would like to do is apply a rule to cost per gallon box (H7) that takes a variable from the pop-up menu (B40).
So if H7 has $2.58 entered as a cost and B40 has pilot selected then $0.050 will automatically be deducted from the $2.58. This way I will have a history of where I fuel, the deduction is made automatically, and I have a history of fuel prices in a certain region.
If anyone looks at this and sees a simpler way of figuring this calculation please make the suggestion. I want to keep this sheet as small and hassle free as possible.
I have 3 fuel stops per trip with totals that are connected to other areas. Once I get all of this done I will be adding a chart for easy comparison and long range simple tracking to see where improvements can be made and costs are going.
Thanks in advance all help will be appreciated.
Message was edited by: Hwoodwriter for clarification.

The IF Lookup table worked. Did a little modification by placing the table in another part of the chart then hiding that part.
I tried doing the discount as a negative but got a negative total which had a negative affect on my total trip income.
Here is how it works in it's final version.
Gallons on board minus gallons required for trip.
Cost per gallon (retail) multiplied by gallons purchased.
Fuel cost equals (Gallons purchased multiplied by Retail gallon price) minus ("IfLookup" multiplied by Gallons purchased)
Fuel Cost Minus Fuel Surcharge (the actual price I pay, which includes all my savings) equals (Retail Gallon Cost minus Fuel Surcharge minus "IfLookup") multiplied by Gallons Purchased.
Some of my trips take up to 3 fuel stops. So this helps me keep track of each fuel stop and all savings per trip.
I now have where I fueled, the retail price, with discount and surcharge applied. A few keystrokes and I know if a trip is going to be profitable or a loss for me.
Thank you for the help. I now have what I need at my fingertips to make my job more effective.
Thanks again.

Need help with Threading GUI progress bar

Anyone able to help? I'm sure you've seen this a million times. I've google'd around and tried examples but still can't get a progress bar to work properly under the following situation:
1. Created a panel with several components to select directory, display directory in tree etc.
2. When a specific button (Search) is clicked, I want a secondary window to popup and report progress of searching down the directory.
As you'll probably guess, the progress window isn't being updated until the end. I'm using Threads and using InvokeLater but nothing happens. Is there any good example that does the above? I can't seem to find one to figure this out.
Thanks

Ok, I'll look down that road. I should have said the Thread is being used because the current while loop will be changed to perform real work. Just an example at the moment to show what I'm trying to do. Does this make a difference? The real task will be to drill down directories, counting file types/dirs etc...

Need help with Drop Down Menu _ URGENT!!

Hello -
I'm new to Dreamweaver. I actually have an old version
(Dreamweaver MX 2004).
I'm updating a website for work and this needs to be done as
soon as possible so I'd appreciate if anyone can be so kind as to
shed light on ANYTHING. =/
This is what I need:
I need a drop down menu; when a selection is chosen, I need
information regarding that selection to appear on the bottom of the
page. (I am working off an Excel sheet - it has list of service
descriptions along w/ the unit price, frequency & other fields.
So If I chose "database hosting" off the drop down list,
information would be generated (ie. it's corresponding unit price,
frequencies, etc.)
I've attached an example of a code but I cannot use that code
(which has JavaScript) to tweak what I need exactly.
I am VERY new to this so if anybody can help be out I would
GREATLY appreciate it.
Thanks!!

Need help with drop down menu

Hi guys,
I'm using div's for the main navigation of my site and want to create a drop down for the first two buttons. All the tutorials I have seen have been for using unordered lists but I need to use divs for this navigation set (long story!).
Can anyone help me get them set up please? Ideally I would like the drop downs to fade in but it's not essential. I take it I need to create an absolutely positioned div where I want my drop downs to appear, is that correct? - but then where do I go from there?
If you click here for my test site.
Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
SM

Hi Ken,
Thank you for the reply.
I had the main nav as an unordered list to begin with but for some reason I didn't find them as easily controllable as the div's i.e. setting widths and heights etc. as I wanted each button to have a set width, instead of just having text with padding. Originally I had the button divides set as border left and right strokes but for some reason they weren't adding up, I think because of the padding I had on them. I know you can set these with unordered lists but opted for divs in the end!
Hope that helps.
Thanks again,
SM

Need help with this Spry "processTokens()" error

I am using Dreamweaver CS4 Beta, and using the new Spry data
set wizard to create a data connection using an HTML file that
contains a table of simple data. Getting through the guided steps
of creating the data set and the master/detail page is a piece of
cake, but when I run the page in a browser I get this white box
with the red header in the lower right corner of the browser that
reads
"processTokens(): Value reference has no data set specified:
{Content}". It obviously doesn't like something about the data
in the content column but I don't know exactly what to do from
here, not having seen this error before.
A quick note about the source file for the data. It's an HTML
file with a table that has two columns (name and content). The
content column has some basic HTML but nothing beyond simple text
formatting and mailto links. The table has been given an ID too.
I didn't have much luck finding anything on this error on
google or anywhere else for that matter. Does anyone know what
causes this or how to solve the problem?

I solved my own problem, so I figured I would post it in case
someone
else runs into this.
When inserting a new spry dataset from Dreamweaver CS4 onto a
site
that already has sprydata.js on it, you must delete the
existing
sprydata.js so that CS4 will copy the newer version onto the
site. Otherwise, it sees that the filename exists already and
won't
update it. The older sprydata.js that comes from CS3 does not
work well with the new spry dataset tool in CS4.
