Insert css menu bar
Dear all,
i am trying to insert a menubar developed by a thirdparty css menu builder into adobe muse, but whenever i try to insert the scripts via "object>insert html" it does not seem to work.
i am using a CSS menu builder form "CSS3 Menu. Free CSS Menu Maker"
i cant use the default menu builder from Muse becuase i have too many drop downs.
here is an example of one of my sites that i used a java script menu builder instead. "Kraft Foods Portal"
i am transitioning to css because java menu builder is obselete and Css is able to make it look cooler.
any help would be highly appreciated. thanks.
Muse can build it's own menu system using CSS. (Menu widget)
Not sure if you can even bring a third party menu builder inside Muse and work properly.

Divs are shifting after inserting spry menu bar
I have tried so much that it has driven me crazy. Initailly I created this site by APdivs and it came out perfect and worked great, except it was not fluid and looked bad on bigger browser and screen size. I decided to change it to fluid way. Now I am in bad shape as soon as I put a horizontal spry menu bar. it shifts the columns to the left and leaves a blank space next to the column 3. I am out of idea, how to fix it. As soon as I take the menu bar out, it works perfect. and columns are stretched to the end on both sides.
Here is the link of test page
www.hpbsurgery.net
This is what I have tried-nothing worked
put menu bar in container
put menu bar in header div
Put mebu bar in a horizontal div inside header div.
changed the size and dimension of menu bar
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am running out of time.
Thanks much all....Thanks very much for your help. I just wanted to mention one thing which I discovered this am by accident out of frustration. Originally, I was trying to control the size of the 3 columns with external CSS and it was messing up after inserting menu bar. I wrote directly in the code this am to exactly define the size besides in my CSS. AND............it fixed the problem and stretched the columns to the end on both side and sizes were appropriate, I am still not sure why did it happen.
I am not a professional and trying to build my own site as I have interest in web design, but this is first time with DW.
I really appreciate your help and suggestion about the code.
Thanks a lot,

You appear confused about how to use CSS classes and IDs. Classes (.className) can be used multiple times in layouts as for re-usable styles. IDs (#IDName) can be used only one time per page -- as for layout regions or when JavaScript is needed to act upon it. Try copying and pasting this code into a new blank page. Hopefully it will make more sense than what you have now.

Could someone help me with spary menu bar?
I have created a menu bar on a HTTP home page and uploaded it with spray assets.
When I checked on the net, I can see texts which link to another http pages, such as contact http pages.
However, it does not show the styled mune bar I wanted.
Using ul.MenuBarVertical a, I selected green for background colour and black bold text.
my website is as below;

Please help!!Hi,
looking to your website I miss some files. Did you "include" your spryMenue by DW? If yes you should get this message (here it's my German DW):
what means DW needs the files listed above and want's to copy these files into your local site. You have to confirm and later you have to sent them to your server.
If you look to your source code you can control the links. As I can see here:
<li><a href="about_dotty.html">Home</a> </li>
<li><a href="#">About Dotty</a></li>
This "#" is only a placeholder, and it doesn't lead to a link. I think you would express something like that:
<li><a href="home.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="about_dotty.html">About Dotty</a></li>

Creating multiple Spry menu bars in one site
I've been creating a website and I am required to use multiple templates to manage all the different sections of the site. To make it much less of a hassle, once I created one template, I simply saved that template as another template so I would not have to start all over again. On the first template I created a spry menu bar with a certain amount of buttons. And because I created the other templates with that template, those templates had the same menu bar containing the same settings. The problem is, because of the specified settings of the spry menu bar, if I change the amount of buttons from the original to one less, the whole bar on that template will get off center and messed up because the settings for the menu bar are not set to that certain amount of buttons, but if I change the settings to suite that amount of buttons, then the settings for all the templates change and that messes up the other menu bars on those templates because they have a different amount of buttons. Currently my templates all contain 10 buttons and I am wanting to create a new menu bar with only about 4 - 6 buttons. I thought going up to insert and inserting a brand new menu bar would do the trick but when I did that it inserted a menu bar that had all the settings of the already-created menu bar, (ie same background images, and hovers, etc.) as well as the width which, because the width is suited for 10 buttons, it does not properly make the default 4 button menu bar center correctly. And if I try to change the settings on this menu bar then the same thing happens with everything changing and getting messed up.
So after this long explanation, my question is, how can I insert multiple spry menu bars into one site that are not correlated with each other in terms of all the settings so that when changed, will not affect each other? I am guessing I am having this problem because I created all the templates from one template so they are all interlocked, but the page that I tried to insert the brand new menu bar on was not created from any of the templates and was the first page I made at the very start.
http://phonytrojanmusic.zxq.net/ Here is the link to the site. The first page that opens up is the page that I tried to insert the brand new menu bar on. If you click on band choir or elementary you will see the menu bars with 10 buttons that are all interlocked in terms of settings. Also, I'd like to note that if I delete a button in one template, it does not delete that same button in the other templates, nor does it add a button to the other templates if I add one. Only the physical appearance changes because the settings are meant for only one amount of buttons. Sorry for the novel!Alright well I just tried to use 2 complete different templates. I created one brand new template from scratch, added the menu bar, gave it an ID of "band", and configured it to suite 10 buttons accordingly. Then I started off from scratch again with a starting html page with a different css style sheet and added the menu bar and gave it a different ID of "choir" but the settings of the two different bars still act as one set of settings! I dont know how to fix this problem. Please tell me what to post if anything will help you. Im guessing the solution is very simple but I have tried everything.
here is the code for the two different menu bars (one in each template)

Horizontal Menu Bar Help Needed
Hi there, I am somewhat new to web design but I've been helping a friend update his business's page recently. We use Dreamweaver CS3 and our hosting is thru GoDaddy.
My problem appears when I try to insert a horizontal menu bar (Insert>Spry>Menu bar) so that a dropdown menu will appear when I hover over an option, much like the top menu on the GoDaddy homepage, among others. It works correctly when I preview my page in a browser from Dreamweaver, (Firefox, IE) but when I actually upload my page to the GoDaddy servers and view it, it shows up not as a bar with hidden options, but as a long unformatted vertical list.
The site in question is here: http://www.notyouraveragebookkeeper.com/indextabs
I thought it might be a problem with CSS, but I made sure that all of the style sheets are properly uploaded to the servers, and I made sure that my browser accepted any Javascript applets. I've also tried it with my Dreamweaver CS5 trial. Like I said, I am an amateur in every sense of the word and I'm still learning technical terms for things so some of my jargon may be a bit flawed. I have done a good bit of online research in forums and otherwise, and I've tried solutions that have been given to similar problems. Maybe someone could view the source code and find out where I've gone wrong, or suggest tips to identify problems in Dreamweaver. I feel like the problem lies within the Spry framework, but I have very little knowledge on how it works or what it does.
Any assistance in this regard would be extremely helpful and appreciated.Neither SpryMenuBar.js and SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css can be found by your online site.
Possibly these have not been uploaded or uploaded to a wrong location.

Spry vertical menu bar size issue
hello world,
i've got a beautiful layout with a lefthand menu section that i would love to behave with pop-out menus.
the entire design was crafted lovingly in fireworks and then exported as html with images, then opened in dreamweaver - looks great!
remove the image that was in the slice where the menu will go, check.
place cursor and select insert>spry>menu bar, select orientation, check.
remove extraneous menu items in the properties inspector, check.
and then, the problem...the box where "Item 1" (which will become my first button) is too big and shifts the entire table out of shape.
i've edited the box sizes in the following CSS items:
ul.MenuBarVertical
ul.MenuBarVertical li
ul.MenuBarVertical a
sometimes i can get it close to it being in-shape with no shifting if i make the menu box smaller than the image that will go in it, looks great in DW but it is then shifted down by a considerable amount when previewing in browers. any pointers will be greatly appreciated.hi hans
i can't upload at the moment, don't have the password to the site at the moment.
for now the best i can do is post the CSS, and let you know that the size of the image i'd like to place in the parent spry menu is 168w x 32h (in px)

I build several sites on Dreamweaver CS3. I decided I wanted to add Spry Menu Bar to one of them. When I try, I get no formatting at all, just a list of text menu items. Everything else is normal, but there is no menu bar, it displays instead as something between code and display. It previews that way, too. So, I tried inserting the bar on other sites, and it works fine. On the site I am trying to insert the bar, when I try to insert it takes a long, long time for the wrong thing to turn up. On the other sites, the bar inserts immediately. Anyone else run into this? I've checked all the site properties, and nothing I find suggests a fix. I'm totally stumped.
I assume you have checked the obvious: correct route to the JS and CSS files? Make sure you have each of the core elements and that the correct paths to such; my guess is that you are missing the final item below. The below are from http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html (scroll down the page to "Insert the Menu Bar Widget"). Make sure you have all 10 items/steps completed as explained within that article.
In the header:
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
After the script:
<script type="text/javascript">
var menubar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("menubar1");
</script> -
Srpy menu bar will not display
Was working away on modifying a spry menu bar when all of a
sudden the menu bar will not display. Tried creating a new page and
inserting the menu bar and still will not display. Won't even
display in previous pages created.
Anybody have any ideas?
ThanksThe following code calls the MenuBar widget into your
document, but the widget will not be found, if the code that I
provided you is not properly formatted.
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1",
{imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif",
imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
//-->
</script>
When I insert a SPRY widget into my document the Javascript
and CSS files that construct and determine the appearance of the
widget are automatically placed into a folder called SpryAssets. My
document is housed in a different folder. Thus, I must exit the
folder in which my document is contained before entering the
SpryAssets folder. When I read your href attribute it appears that
your SpryAsset folder and your document are located in the same
directory folder. If this is true, then I do not understand why
your widget does not appear.
I can offer two additional suggestions, and then my knowledge
of what might be wrong is exhausted:
1) If possible insert the widget again using a previous
version of your document in which the widget has not already been
inserted.
2) Always make sure that your document has been saved at
least once before inserting a SPRY object. This will insure that
everything is properly linked when the widget is inserted.
In the meantime, maybe someone more knowledgeable than I will
be able to help. -
Adding background image to Spry Menu Bar?
Hi Everyone,
I have a question concerning adding a background image to a horizontal spry menu.
1) I am using Dreamweaver CS4.
2) I am inserting this menu bar on a HTML document.
3) I have created and am using an external style sheet (CSS)
I am not sure on which style(s) ("ul.*) to edit in order to acheive this.
I have a total of four(4) different images I would like to use, they are...
1) Horizontal Menu Bar (main menu bar)
2) Horizontal Menu Bar - Rollover
3) Submenu
4) Submenu - Rollover
Also I would like the text to be centered on the button.
I have somewhat acheived this using the instructions for "customize this widget", yet the image "repeats" because the button is larger than the image.
I have not tried to center the text, this may be a very simple thing, if so just let me know.
What I dont know, and was hoping someone could tell me, is which style(s) ("ul.*) to edit in order to acheive this.
If anyone needs anymore information, just let me know and I will give it to you as soon as possible.
Also I have attached three(3) of the four(4) pictures I would like to use. (this is the maximum)
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Musicman1994I'd like to thank everyone with their help so far, but I am still having trouble.
I have tried both suggestions and the results are...
The one suggested by dhvani2511 gave me this...
(The cursur is over "Item 1" it is not blue when a cursur is not over it.)
I would like the image to "be" the button, not just "in" it,if that makes sense.
I have slightly tried the one suggested by .V1 but being that I am new to dreamweaver, code, etc. I am not sure where to copy/paste the code that you gave me.
Does anyone have anymore information?
Thanks,

Menu bar not displaying in browser preview.
After inserting my menu bar it doesn't display when I preview it in my browser. I have a rectangle sectioned for my main navigation menu and the menu bar sits on top of it...could this be causing it to not be seen? Also, it showed only once after pinning it...but that isn't what I want because when the page scrolls up and down the menu sits stationary...but it allows it to show??
Anyone have this issue or have a fix?
Thanks,
Lee<header> and <footer> are html5 semantic tags. Old non-html5 browsers (like IE8) don't know how to handle them without a little help.
Add this code to your <head>
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="//html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
Or better yet, download the .js file and add it to your site, then link to it, that way you won't depend on third party servers keeping the file in the same location...

Menu Bar 2.0: how to change text?
Hi folks, I feel like I am missing something simple but every time I insert the Menu Bar 2.0 widget in my Dreamweaver CS5 page I cannot seem to customise the menu item names.
Obviously I've tried typing over the top of existing text but this doesn't work - it seems to remove the functionality of the button altogether.
Configuring the colours and alignment is simple enough in the widget browser, but how do you actually change the text and link properties of the contents?
Thanks in advance for advice on this.
JoI go into code view and change it that way. Failing that, just double click the word in design view and type whatever you need. If there are two words, double click each word and delete.
Linking can be done through the properties panel.

Spry Menu Bar 2.0 (1.0) - Handling of widget generated CSS, placement and rendering problems in CSS
Hello:
I wanted to repost my question to re-frame the issue based on what I have learned thus far.
I am working on a website that has been developed using the Spry Menu Bar Framework UI (2.0) I.0, that has some peculiar rendering problems that affect IE 6 in particular. The CSS is reprinted below.
In particular, when I post the widget generated CSS in the head as it is orginally situated by the framework, the menu bar works fine. However, it seemed to me that I should be able to reduce page weight (an important consideration considering my target population) by placing it in the general style sheet governing the entire site.
When I place the styles at the beginning of the style sheet the menu doesn't render at all in any of the browsers (IE 6+, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Netscape, etc.) as it conflicts with the general rules governing links that appear later in the style sheet. When I place the styles specific to the Menu bar at the end of the style sheet, then the menu bar renders properly in all browsers except IE 6.
The odd thing is that the only way to ensure that the menu bar works in IE 6 is to keep the menu related styles in the head of each page. This raises problems related to page weight (not an insurmountable consideration if no other solution can be found) but still an issue. Likewise I need to support IE 6, again given the target audience/population. The issue obviously has something to do with specificity, but I am not certain that is the only consideration at work here. I have not tried the !important selector in regard to the menu, as IE 6 seems to only partially support this.
Thanks in advance for any advice or insight that can be provided. Thanks in particular to Martin for his contributions to my earlier question related to this issue.
Steve Webster.
The CSS governing the horizontal menu bar is as follows: (currently the following CSS is embedded in the head of the web page)
<style type="text/css">
/* -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles -- */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or rightpointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
.MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, allsubmenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
.MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top levelmenu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
and centered in its parent container.
MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets onthe same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.
#MenuBar {
background-color:transparent;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; /* Specify fonts on onMenuBar and subMenu MenuItemContainer, so MenuItemContainer,
MenuItem, and MenuItemLabel
at a given level all use same definition for ems.
Note that this means the size is also inherited to child submenus,
so use caution in using relative sizes other than
100% on submenu fonts. */
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 17px;
font-style: normal;
padding:0;
/* Caution: because ID+class selectors do not work properly in IE6, but we want to restrict these rules to just this
widget instance, we have used string-concatenated classnames for our selectors for the layout type of the menubar
in this section. These have very low specificity, so be careful not to accidentally override them. */
.MenuBar br { /* using just a class so it has same specificity as the ".MenuBarFixedCentered br" rule bleow */

color: #0303A0;Hi Nancy:
The specific code that I am referring to is the CSS code governing the styling of the spry menu widget that only works in IE 6 if, and only if, it remains in the head of the web page. If removed and placed in a stylesheet, the IE plugins fail to compensate for the IE 6 "gap" bug. As I said, it doesn't make sense to me that, assuming specificity is addressed, that these can not be included in an external style sheet. I am looking for a) an explanation why they must remain embedded in the web page; and 2) any means by which I might be able to export them.
I will reproduce the specific css style (code) below: it should also be visable through reveal source --
Thanks again, Steve Webster.
The CSS governing the horizontal menu bar is as follows: (currently the following CSS is embedded in the head of the web page)
<style type="text/css">
/* -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles -- */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or rightpointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
.MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, allsubmenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
.MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top levelmenu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
and centered in its parent container.
MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets onthe same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.
#MenuBar {
background-color:transparent;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; /* Specify fonts on onMenuBar and subMenu MenuItemContainer, so MenuItemContainer,
MenuItem, and MenuItemLabel
at a given level all use same definition for ems.
Note that this means the size is also inherited to child submenus,
so use caution in using relative sizes other than
100% on submenu fonts. */
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 17px;
font-style: normal;
padding:0;
/* Caution: because ID+class selectors do not work properly in IE6, but we want to restrict these rules to just this
widget instance, we have used string-concatenated classnames for our selectors for the layout type of the menubar
in this section. These have very low specificity, so be careful not to accidentally override them. */

I am having some difficulty with a Spry Menu Bar (horizontal) 2.0 (1.0) that I have created. Initially I thought the problem was with regard to rendering issues on IE 6.0, however the problem seems to be more general than that and I have come to believe that it has to do with the CSS created by the Widget Browser and modified once imported into the webpage. Hence I have elected to post my issue here rather than on the spry page.
I have relied on the tutorial provided by David Powers (Bayside.css) and in addition other documentation regarding the Spry menu bar UI. The problem appeared to be one of IE 6 rendering the page with a gap that is created when the drop down menus appear, thus pushing down any divs that appear below the page.
However, through a painstaking process of trial and error my problem now seems to be that when I export the CSS generated by the widget browser to an external style sheet (the general style sheet governing the whole site), it conflicts with other CSS styles regarding links etc. The end result is that all the padding, background colours, background images, and text colours are lost. So long as the CSS remains within the head this doesn't happen.
My thinking is that this must have to do with issues of specificity, inheritence, etc.
The site can be viewed at the following URL: http://www.aclco.org/testing/index.html. In its current form all CSS related to the menu bar is found in the head of each page. (see CSS below).
My question is can I establish a separate style sheet for the horizontal menu bar and have those styles applied specifically (and only) to the menu bar. My only other alternative is to work through the remainder of the general style sheet and work through any issues of specificity/inheritance -- which may be the "best" practice, but it risks causing other "cascading" [sic] problems elsewhere.
Any advice or suggestions or directed reading (that would point to a solution) that could be offered would be greatly appreciated.

The CSS governing the horizontal menu bar is as follows: (currently the following CSS is embedded in the head of the web page)
<style type="text/css">
/* -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles -- */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or right pointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
.MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, all submenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
.MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top level menu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
and centered in its parent container.
MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets on the same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.
#MenuBar {
background-color:transparent;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; /* Specify fonts on on MenuBar and subMenu MenuItemContainer, so MenuItemContainer,
MenuItem, and MenuItemLabel

Note that this means the size is also inherited to child submenus,
so use caution in using relative sizes other than
100% on submenu fonts. */
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 17px;
font-style: normal;
padding:0;
/* Caution: because ID+class selectors do not work properly in IE6, but we want to restrict these rules to just this
widget instance, we have used string-concatenated classnames for our selectors for the layout type of the menubar
in this section. These have very low specificity, so be careful not to accidentally override them. */

/* 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.

Thanks for your input. However I am not certain we have resolved this issue adequately, or understand the principles governing the css as regards this spry menu framework 2.0 (1.0).
For example, the menu only works in IE 6.0 if the css remains in the head. I agree with your original post that it shouldn't make any difference whether the css is posted in the head or in a separate style sheet (so long as specificity issues are addressed). Both should work -- and yet it doesn't.
If the CSS is placed in the separate style sheet governing the total site, it doesn't work for 6.0. If placed at the top of the style sheet, conflicts of specificity prevent the menu from rendering properly in any of the browsers causing the rules for general links to govern the menu. This has been verified using a cross browser testing. If the styles are placed at the bottom of the style sheet to help them take precedence, they work in all the browsers except for IE 6.
The website I am building needs to support IE 6 for a variety of reasons, and because it is catering to the non-profit community and to low income persons, I am mindful of even small differences in page weight.
So for me, at least, the issue remains baffling.
I appreciate your input, but also would appreciate the input from others, and especially Adobe Community Professionals and employees. The spry framework in this regard is not well documented. I am not certain if this is exclusively a CSS problem, if it might also be complicated by the architecture of the spry framework, or if indeed other variables are at play.
I would be my hope that in resolving the problem, other users of the this particular spry framework might also benefit.
Thanks,
Steve. -
Nube needs help inserting a JQuery horizontal menu bar into my site-help.
Please forgive the ignorance of my questions but I am new to Mobile site design and Dreamweaver.
I am trying to build a responsive web site for my company that can be viewed on multiple platforms, but am having trouble inserting a responsive menu and responsive slide show.
This post is in regard to the menu bar, which I have created using JQuery on a seperate page. I have managed to get the layout to work but still can't figure out how to create mouse overs for the links
or how to insert it into my site.
Please help.
Why can't I see the nav bar in the site when I paste in?
All I see is the text and no images. I know I am pasting the code in the wrong place.
Where do I insert it?
Below is the code for the site and below that is the code for the menu bar.
Where do I insert it? Help.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Should I define tables in the CSS file or from the Table option on the menu bar?
I am having trouble understanding which table definitions are the ascendant ones: the CSSfile table definitions or the definitions from the Table option on the menu bar. Is there a conflict if I am applying the CSS style to every topic? Who wins...CSS or Table?
Hi there
Sorry, but I think you are a bit confused. I'm assuming here that you are referring to defining tables via the toolbar? Where you use this button?
That simply inserts the table structure which is later styled using CSS.
Then there is the other option where you click Table > Insert > Table and you do two things. You insert the table structure as well as some special CSS codes that are added to your CSS file.
Cheers... Rick
