Multiple text colors in my spry menu

Can I make multiple text colors in my spry menu? I want to match the text color on one of my spry menu items to the hover color so that you know which link you are currently visiting. I haven't posted the site yet until I work out all the kinks. So, to summarize, I have my spry menu link text color (ul.MenuBarVertical a) set to #E00 and my hover color for those items (ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemHover) set to #888. All of the links also contain the same spry menu. I would like the link you're currently in to be #888 and the other links to be #E00 with all of them hovering with color #888. How can I give unique color to an individual menu item? Any help you can give is much appreciated!

Sorry to bug you again. I implemented your suggestion as you can see in this partial pageview:
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryDOMUtils.js"></script>
<script src="js/navbar-select.js"></script>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a#button1:hover, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a#button1:focus
{ color:#625647; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="team-vision" class="container">

</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="ger-impressum.shtml">IMPRESSUM</a>|</li>
</ul>

I did this in ger-kontakt.shtml, ger-team.shtml, ger-location.shtml
but it does not leave KONTAKT highlighted.
If you want to check it out my url is http:/www.lsdcoach.com/greiner-engineering. Select GERMAN and the click on KONTAKT. The other menu items without a submenu work great.

Changing arrow color on vertical spry menu

How do I change the color of the arrow on the vertical spry menu indicating there are submenus for that topic?

http://www.ipdctest.com/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarVertical.css
It's the background image in these two CSS rules
ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenu
background-image: url(SpryMenuBarRight.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 95% 50%;
/* Menu items that are open with submenus have the class designation MenuBarItemSubmenuHover and are set to use a "hover" background image positioned on the far left (95%) and centered vertically (50%) */
ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover
background-image: url(SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 95% 50%;
PS the path to your SpryAssets folder is wrong in the page code.
Page code:
<script src="../../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="../../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarVertical.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Should be
<script src="/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarVertical.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Safari bold text causing problem with Spry Menu Bar

I have made a web site using a Spry Menu bar. It worked fine across all browsers, as far as I knew. I was just alerted by th esite owner that the menu bar had the last link out of position when viewed in Safari. I'm not sure when this started happening. I notice the text in Safari is more bold than firefox or IE. My guess is that's the problem. I searched on google for help and found this
Add - text-shadow: 0 0 0 #000; to the css.
I tried that but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
the site is here:
http://www.telluridegravityworks.com/
Can anyone offer any advice on how I might fix this? Thanks!

I'm not seeing the issue in Win 7/Safari (assume it's a Mac issue) but I do see it in Win 7/IE9.
In the CSS file, http://www.telluridegravityworks.com/css/gravity-works-winter.css
tweaking the width of the navbar container fixes it here
#nav-menu {
width: 455px; /* adjusted from 445px */
padding: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
margin-left: 515px;

Multiple text colors in a JTextArea

i created a JTextArea in a frame --- // JTextArea ta = new JTextArea();
and wrote some words onto it with codes like: ta.append("abcd");
ta.append("efg");
how to make the color of the words "abcd" different from "efg"?

JTextArea doesn't support multiple fonts and colours. Have a look at JTextPane or JEditorPane which allow more flexibility in formatting your text. JEditorPane also supports HTML.

Change background color in a Spry Menu

At last, I understood working of a vertikally spry. But after
many "try's
and errors" with changing the "SpryMenuBarVertical.css", the
backgground
color will not change from grey to another color.
Please have a look to for help at

Janis,
Change the background-color here:
UL.MenuBarVertical A {
PADDING-RIGHT: 0.75em;
DISPLAY: block;
PADDING-LEFT: 0.75em;
PADDING-BOTTOM: 0.5em;
CURSOR: pointer;
COLOR: #000000;
PADDING-TOP: 0.5em;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #eee;
TEXT-DECORATION: none;
And for the hover color, change the background-color here:
UL.MenuBarVertical A:hover {
COLOR: #fff;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #33c;

Multiple Text Colors

I am wondering if I can have different colors in one text
field. Whenever I change the color in the properties panel it
changes all of the words in the text. I want to have most of the
text black, but have some of the words in the text different
colors. Can this be done, and if so how can I do it?

As long as the textfield isn't dynamically loaded with text,
you can change individual letters by selecting them while in the
typing mode. If the text is dynamically loaded, then you would need
to use html to apply different colors.

I colored the spry menu, but it's not showing up in preview.

I changed the color of my spry menu from beige to black. It shows up on my work page, but when I try to preview it, it's as if I had never changed the color. I also tried going to the page through Firefox, but it's not showing up there either. The code says the background of the menu is #000, One the design panels it says the background color is #000 as well. Can someone tell me what I'm missing that is making the spry menu stay at the default color?

Not a good option unfortunately.
"allow multiple consecutive spaces" is an old option in DW which should be discontinued. It simply inserts multiple non-breaking spaces when you press the spacebar.
It's ugly, and unpredictable since it depends on font sizes, browser text sizing etc.
Better to use CSS

Spry Menu Bar Colors and Pictures in Dreamweaver

I'm having some trouble changing the color of the spry menu
bars that I created in Dreamweaver. Whenever I preview them in a
browser they show up as grey with black text. What I want them to
show up as is blue with white text before the mouse goes over them
and highlights them. When the mouse goes over them I want them to
still be blue with white text and also my drop down menu options as
well.
What would be the fastest and easiest way to do this and if
there is what css code is required for me to change? I'm unfamiliar
with how css code works.
I'm also having some problems with copying and pasting
pictures and editing them too. what software can i download that is
free that i can use to edit my pictures.
I have the trial version mind you and I'm trying to get this
finished as fast as I can.

Bring up your page and adjust the CSS in the
SpryMenuHorizontal.css or
SpryMenuVertical.css page that is attached. All the color
values are in
there.
>I'm unfamiliar with how css code works.
You need to change this. Without a thorough working knowledge
of HTML and
CSS (at the very least), you will never have great success in
either
Dreamweaver or web design. I first learned web design using
Notepad, typing
every single tag, and I am soo grateful now that I had that
solid coding
experience .. without it, this program would be very hard to
master.

Free? I'm not sure any more .. you can use either the 30 day
trial of
Fireworks or Photoshop (Fireworks would probably be easier to
pick up) but
if you're going to do a lot of this, you need to get some
good tools and
learn them well.

Need transparent background color in Spry Menu Bar

Tried every possible combination.
Built a 150x1000 px header in Illustrator with a 20x1000 px rectangle at the bottom for the nav bar, set as a background image in the header within Dreamweaver.
Can not make a transparent (no color) background within Spry Menu Bar: MenuBar1??
Also, my first nav is 'Welcome' that <li></li> is about 6-8 px higher then the rest of the nav bar??
Any help at all would be appreciated, thanks
optionsclinic.net

Have you tried changing the value of the Background colour in your CSS:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
    cursor: pointer;
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 2px;
    padding-bottom: 2px;
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #FFF;
    padding-right: 2px;
    padding-left: 2px;
    display: block;
    background-color: #223F9A;

Spry Menu question #2: colors

Hi again...
I can't seem to get any settings to change colors to a Spry
menu to anything other than the text.
Even though the changes show in the CSS pallette, nothing
changes the colors of the menu itself when viewed.
Any thoughts?
thx
Andrew

Have you read the comments within the css file - if you go
through it
carefully, it explains (not clearly enough in my opinion),
what each rule
does and what effect it has on the menu.

Change submenu text color

How would I go about changing the text color of the submenu items without changing the text color of the main menu items?

Add the following style rule to your document
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul a {
color: red;
changing the colour to suit.

Can you have a different colour horizontal Spry menu on multiple pages?

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Dreamweaver and CSS. So please forgive me ignorance.
I've created a page with a horizontal spry menu bar, and have edited it according to how I want it to look.. Brilliant!. The problem I have is I want the exact same menu bar on multiple pages but using a different colour scheme for a couple of the pages!. Is this possible? Thanks

I am sorry, but I do not see that you have added the suggested code to the document as per

Spry Menu Bar link colors not consistent

I have a horizontal Spry menu bar set up with 4 items in it.
The first item is the Home link and does not have a submenu, but
the other 3 items do. What I want is when you roll over the main 4
items the text link color will be purple (#583399). When an item
has a submenu the rollover text link on the submenu links will be
green (#89b11a).
My current code almost works, but the problem I am having is
that the Home link
without the submenu changes to a green color instead of
purple like the other 3 main links. If I add a test submenu to the
Home link then it turns purple like the other links. How can I get
the Home link to change to purple like the others without having a
submenu attached to it?
Here is my html code that refers to the menu:
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
<li><a href="index.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">HOME</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">ABOUT</a>
<ul>
<li><a
href="services.html">services</a></li>
<li><a
href="bios.html">bios</a></li>
<li><a
href="news.html">news</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="work.html" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu"
>WORK</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="design.html">design</a>
</li>
<li><a
href="advertising.html">advertising</a></li>
<li><a href="casestudies.html">case
studies</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="contact.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">CONTACT</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">.</a></li>
<li><a
href="location.html">location</a></li>
<li><a
href="opportunities.html">opportunities</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Here is the Spry CSS code that pertains to the links:
/* Menu items are a light gray text with padding and no text
decoration */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
/* Menu items that have mouse over or focus have green text
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a:hover, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a:focus
color: #89b11a;
/* Menu items that are open with submenus are set to
MenuBarItemHover with purple text */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemHover,
color: #583399;
/* Menu items that are open with submenus are set to
MenuBarItemHover with purple text */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover,
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
color: #583399;
And
here
is a link to my test file so you can see what I am talking
about.
Thanks for any help and let me know if you need anything else
to help with it.

Anyone??
