Menu Bar Widget works in IE not Firefox

I am using the horizontal menu bar widget on this Web page:
http://www.ucg.org/booklets/FM/new/
. The drop down under the TABLE OF CONTENTS works as intended in
IE, but in Firefox the drop down does not show at all. I am
wondering if Firefox is not able to properly view the constructor I
built as an include within my top navigation. Any help is
appreciated.

I am having a similar issue with the horizontal menu bar. It
works perfectly fine in IE 7, but when I tested it in Firefox only
the first and third, of four, menus actually drop down.
Unfortunately I can't actually show you the error since I this is
only a pre-release version and as such it hasn't been uploaded to
the web, but I have posted images of the issue
Firefox working on the first :

  • Dreamweaver Help | Working with the Spry Menu Bar widget

    Adobe has discontinued further Spry development.

    You can continue using Spry but if mobile & tablets are your concern, I would use a different menu system.

  • Spry Menu Bar Widget 2.0 (1.0) -- IE 6 Rendering Snag

    Hi:
    Once again I need to call on the aid of others with more detailed knowledge of the spry frameworks, particularly the Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (vers. 1.0) developed by Adobe labs.
    I have posted the site to http://www.aclco.org/testing/index.html.  You will see that it works beautifully, thanks to the help of many contributors, except in IE 6.0, where, when the sub menus become visible and drop down, it causes all page elements (divs) to be pushed down to create the necessary room to accommodate the drop down.  The natural overlap of the sub-menu over pre-existing content doesn't seem to overlay properly.
    It does this on all pages, and not just those which present flash sideshows.  And as I say it is peculiar to IE 6.
    I have followed the tutorial provided by David Powers in deploying the widget and have not altered the spry skin css or the basic css.  Any changes (affecting padding, etc. and adding of background images where created using the widget browser and supplemented in the css added to the template page.  The "add-on" css was then added to the general style sheet governing the whole site layout.
    I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, if there are any work arounds or hacks that anyone is aware of, or any other suggestions that might help.
    I haven't been able to preview this on a free standing PC using IE6, but was able to reproduce the problem on 2 cross browser testing services employing a "live mode".  I renders properly until the sub-menus are called upon to become visible, and then the problem manifests.
    Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Steve Webster
    Attach.
    Please note:  Attached are the relevant excerpts from the customized style sheet as amended from the spry widget browser:
    /*  -- 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. */

    * 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.

    I find this quite inexplicable.  When the customized CSS rules governing the menu bar are situated in a separate stylesheet, the page renders well enough for any of the "modern" browsers, but won't render in IE 6.  All that I get is a horizontal menu with drop downs, but none of the styling (specifically background colours, background images, etc.) that are called for in the stylesheet and that otherwise appear when rendered by other browsers.
    I realize that this sounds strange, but I was wondering if anyone had experienced this phenomenon, or could offer any explanation.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Menu bar widget submenu placement bug in IE7

    I am tring to set up my first horizontal menu bar widget.
    Looks great in FF, but the submenu is placed over the main

    Could any one help?
    Example is located here:
    http://dco4.com/spry_test/
    Submenu is under "consumables" button.

    Possibly a padding or margins error.. having a similar issue
    myself only it lines up properly in IE and not in Firefox!
    Sorry..

  • Bugs in Spry 1.6.1 menu bar widget affect performance in IE6

    The Spry 1.6.1 menu bar widget has bugs that result in the showSubmenu and hideSubmenu methods being called more times than necessary.  This is especially noticable in IE6 because multiple iframes are then created and deleted on every menu bar mouseover event, which makes the menu bar display slow and jerky.
    Two of the bugs are incorrect references when checking whether a submenu is visible before calling showSubmenu/hideSubmenu, and the other three are places that I think also need checks for whether a submenu is visible before calling hideSubmenu.
    I've attached a "SpryMenuBar-fixed.js" file that fixes those bugs.  All changes are marked with "BUG FIX", and I left the previous code commented out for reference.

  • Menu Bar Widget

    Hi All,
    I have a horizontal menu bar widget with various
    menus/submenus... Is there a simple way of adding a new item to the
    existing menu/nav bar and have it apply the changes to all of the
    pages, or do I have to edit each menu/navbar individually?
    I have to many page now!!
    Thanks

    In DW, press F1, and read about "server-side includes".
    That's your
    answer....
    Alternatively, you could consider bringing your site under DW
    template
    control, but this will take an effort for a site with more
    than about 5
    pages.

  • How can I REMOVE the Yahoo! tab from the menu bar? Each time I open Firefox, I get the gialogue box asking if I want to make yahoo the default and each time I respond no and check the do not ask this question again.

    I am tempted to remove Ff4 and revert to 3.X if I cannot fix this problem. The question (statement) has all pertinent details already included

    '''Hello peacefultrev,'''
    I believe from your question you wish to remove the window title-bar, while keeping the menu bar available.
    I have two solutions for you to try. One requires no plugin and the other requires the installation of a plugin.
    '''No plugin option:'''
    This option hides the the window title while also removing the menu bar. The menu bar can then be reactivated and viewed simply by pressing "Alt" which shows the menu bar until you click away from it. To do this:
    # Right click on the tab bar and disable "Menu Bar".
    # Whenever you which to use the menu bar, tap "Alt" on your keyboard.
    # When you click away from the menu bar the windows title will disappear until you tap "Alt" again.
    '''Plugin Option:'''
    You can download this plugin called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-caption-titlebar-plus-sma/ Hide Caption Titlebar Plus] which can be customized to suit your needs. I cannot provide support on this plugin as I have not used it myself.
    I hope one of these solutions will suit your needs.

  • Spry menu bar doesnt work in IE

    Hi,
    I have created a new site in dreamweaver cs5 that works fine in firefox and safari but in IE the spry menu bar does not appear. It does not show at all until you put the mouse over it then the rollover box shows and you are able to click on it to get to the page. The whole bar does not show at all, just each box once you put mouse in area???
    Any ideas what is wrong??
    This is the site : www.adamthomastherapy.co.uk

  • In FF29.0 bookmarks on the menu bar stop working correctly after exiting 'Customize': has anyone else noticed this?

    Shortly after installing FF29.0 I noticed that the bookmarks menu from the 'Menu Bar' - NOT the new one that appears on the right of the screen - was not working correctly: specifically, when right-clicking on a bookmark to look for 'Open in a New tab' all the options were greyed out and I now realize that this occurs after exiting the 'Customize' screen, which effect I have consistently duplicated several times now; to restore functionality I have on each occasion had to close and re-open Firefox. This error does not appear to occur with the new bookmark menu that is associated with the bookmark icon at the top right of the screen. Has anyone else noticed this error?
    (Personally, I prefer the bookmark menu from the menu bar, which incidentally I find easier to read than the new one and I like menu bars anyway.)
    Many thanks.

    Thank you for your input. If you have more input on the new features please check out [input.mozilla.org]

  • Menu Bar - Sound Volume icon does not move with the press of the F key

    So I normally press the F keys to control the Sound Volume, right, just like everyone else does -
    but the Sound Volume icon in the Menu Bar at the top right does not respond to the F key at all!
    Isn't it supposed to react simultaneous with the press of the F key?
    I have to actually use my mouse click to make that volume go up and down.
    The actual volume does work with the F key, it goes up and down.
    But to make the 2 work in sync, I have to point the mouse to the one at the Menu Bar, fiddle with it, and then I can use the F key and both work together at the same time.
    If I haven't touched the Menu Bar one for a while and I only use the F key, the Menu Bar one doesn't move at all.
    It's weird. Any ideas?

    I see what Al is seeing. Normally I just use one method or the other. The Volume Adjustment keys provide visual feedback, so it's unnecessary to check the menu extra, i.e. the Volume menu bar icon, to see the same feedback.
    The slight delay in the reaction of the Volume menu extra, when open and while adjusting the volume with the Volume keys is normal.
    They're independent methods for adjusting the Volume setting. The Volume menu extra takes a moment to refresh when the slider is displayed and you're changing the setting via the Volume keys.
    Good luck!

The alt does not bring the menu temporarily up and the safe mode option is not available to me. When I was looking for foxfire support, I saw other browers out there that offer video and sound recording. This is a cool feature the browser I saw was called cometbird I think something like that. Anyway I saved it in my favorites but of course I can't find my favorites.

    You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

  • Spotlight In Menu Bar Stops Working

    I have a nw Mac Mini. Until recently, Spotlight has worked really well, but today, the Spotlight icon in the menu bar won't open. It highlights, but no search bar appears. Any ideas? (I can use Spotlight through the Finder window.)

    I've had the same problem increasingly for the last 2-3 months. "Little Spotlight" (the menu-bar version) stops working. It refuses to open. However, "big Spotlight" works fine.
    It started in July. Sometimes a restart fixed it, but not always. Finally I took the machine to a Genius Bar, where the guy trashed the spotlight prefs and zapped the PRAM 3 times in a row, and everything was fine for about a week -- and then the problem returned. So I started zapping the PRAM, myself, but the problem always returns. Now it's happening 4 or 5 times a week. Furthermore, zapping the PRAM now only works about 50% of the time. (Or perhaps whatever is breaking Spotlight is happening, sometimes, immediately after a restart -- causing it to seem like zapping the PRAM didn't work.) Needless to say, this has become a royal PITA.
    I used Tinkertool System and Spotless to completely delete all Spotlight-related items and initiate a spotlight-database rebuild. That worked initially -- but only for several hours. This is an endless nightmare....
    There's slight consolation in seeing tha other users are experiencing this, but only slight.
    (By the way I have several Macs running 10.4.7 and 10.4.8, but this is only happening on one of my PowerBooks -- which is also my most-used machine. Also, my 80-gig drive has only about 4 gigs free, in case anyone thinks that's relevant.)

  • Menu Bar is missing, when I downloaded Firefox 4, on vista home- it was there on 3.6; I need it back, what do i do

    I have Dell Laptop with Vista Home
    I was using Firefox 3.6 and menu bar " File, Edit ....." was there on the top
    I downloaded Fire Fox 4 and this menu bar has disappeared
    I tried taking help from firefox which states press Alt and menubar shall appear - it does not in my case
    It says click Firefox in left top corner and still I do not get the bar
    What should I do to get the menubar on top again

    By default on Vista the menu bar has been replaces with the orange Firefox button. If you want the menu bar instead, right-click on a toolbar and click on the "Menu Bar" entry to select it.
