My Spry Menu bar is different in design view and when I preview in Browser.

When in design view my Spry Meny Bar is horizontal like I chose. But when I preview it in browser it appears as just type verically down the side of the screen. With no boxes around it. Please help.

Did you define a local site folder in DW before you began your project?

Spry menu bar not visible in live view

Hi everyone,
I was just working on the css for my spry menu bar and went to check it out in the live view, but it is no longer visible. I checked it out in Safari and Firefox to no avail. It looks totally fine in the design view in Dreamweaver. I'm new to web design and I have no idea what I did, but I'm really hoping someone here does! Below is the CSS.

My guess is that you have a dark background in which case the menu items will not be seen.
I suggest you have a look here first http://www.dwcourse.com/dreamweaver/ten-commandments-spry-menubars.php#one, then resurrect the original SpryMenuBarVertical.css and change as required.

Oops - spry menu bar 2.0 does not display correctly when loaded

Oops - obviously I'm new at this. I think I got my graphics loaded now.
Dear Sirs:
I notice bzz31 had a pretty complicated post, so perhaps someone can help me with my complicated problem that has been vexing me for months. I tried the Spry Menu Bar 1.0, but it was impossible for me to edit, and I was delighted to see Spry Menu Bar 2.0 come out. However the 2.0 version has been frustrating me as well.
I can get my menu bar to display properly in Live View, as shown below.
However when I load everything onto the server, the menu bar does not display correctly, as shown below:
I don't quite understand the code "file:///" but I interpret it to mean that the Spry-UI-1.7 folder is in the topmost folder of MacPro5-Docs, which is my hard drive. Here's the code I'm having trouble with:
Here's my computer directory, shown below:
Since my index file is two folders down from Spry-UI-1.7, I loaded the files onto the server similarly, as shown in the next three pictures:
(The picture below is the same as the one just above, but now you can see the path from index to Spry-UI-1.7.)
I would be most appreciative if someone can help me.
Thank you.

Have a look at the following links
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMUtils.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMEffects.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryWidget.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryMenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/plugins/MenuBar2/SpryMenuBarKeyNavigationPlugin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/plugins/MenuBar2/SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/css/Menu/basic/SpryMenuBasic.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Each of the above points to a file on your local system and cannot be found by the remote server.
Replace the red coloured parts with http://www.twhsbands.org/ will remedy the situation.
You also have some remnants of the other SpryMenuBar that should be removed from your markup.

Wel, so much for the red coloured parts, they did not show up.
The red coloured parts read file:///MacProG5-Docs/

Spry Menu bar looks OK in Live View, not browser

I'm trying to insert a Spry menu bar in an existing site to replace one previously built with an F-source product. There is a Flash movie above the menu bar. It looks fine in Live View, but when I look at it in a browser, it expands to about ten times its height with only the last menu item visible (out of nine). It also displaces the Flash movie to the left and up. Any idea what's causing this, and how to fix it? Thanks for any help you can provide!
Live View:
Browser View:

Thanks for your help. I tried to add the code above the menu bar (you didn't specify whether to add before the body tag) but it didn't help in either location.
I've uploaded the page in question to the site. You can access the page via http://www.acsi-cybersa.com/index2.html
If you back up to the "www.acsi-cybersa.com" URL, you will see a working homepage with an f-source menu that is acting a bit squirrely, and which I am trying to replace with the Spry menu. The URL above "index2.html" is the working replacement for the home page.
If you can figure out what's happening with the Spry menu and how to fix it, I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks, Dan

Subform Set visible in Design View and not PDF preview

I have created a form and used several subform sets, all of the sets and subforms within it are set to visible, but when I look at the PDF preview and when I upload the form into my internal system some of the sections are missing. I am not sure what is wrong, can someone please help!?

A subformset is used when you have numerous different subforms that can be laid down but the imbound data stream will determine which subform to lay down. For exmple if you have a form that has a a different verbiage based on state then you can have all of the subforms defined that could possibly go there then when the data is merged the state is derived and only the one for that state is used.
Hope that helps
Paul

Text Field location differs on design view and preview mode

I am using Adobe LiveCycle Desginer ES. I am updating forms currently created in Livecycle 6 and 7. I am noticing the text fields are lower on the preview mode than where I have placed them on the design mode. In design mode, they are perfectly in line with the other text. When going to preview they are off anywhere from a couple centimeters to a couple inches. I have started over with new forms and had this same problem.
This issue mostly occurs when I have a text box with a large amount of text and I place text fields over the text boxes. Has anyone had this issue also? If so, is there a solution? This issue never happened in 6 or 7, I am only seeing this issue in the ES version.
Any help would be appreciated. (I am willing to recreate the forms, but that has the same issue also.)

In version 7 there were updates made to the text engine. There were situations where things did not align correctly. To solve this there was an option added to allow you to revert back to the old engine. To do this go into the File/Form Properties/Compatibility then click on the button for the Revert Text Formatting and try your form again.
Note that at some point in time you should update your form to use the new engine and stop using the version 6 of Reader/Acrobat.
Hope that helps

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?

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.

> What would be the fastest and easiest way to do this and

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.

Spry Menu Bar jumps off screen-right in CS6

Frustrating little glitch I'm experiencing. When in a NON-LIVE mode in CS6, I have a Spry Menu Bar that I've placed, customized and is functioning properly. It is precisely in the right location in BOTH live mode and in a browser preview, however, when I am editing the site the menu bar jumps off screen right to where I have to scroll right to locate it. The only thing that pops it back in to place is by tweaking a setting like "Float" from right to left then back to right. But once I begin to edit the site again it will jump off the screen. This isn't a massive deal since it remains in place in live and preview modes, it's just annoying for layout purposes while I'm editing. It sort of screws up the aesthetic of the layout. Has anyone found the same problem? Below is my layout.css and my Spry Menu css.

Spry Menu Bar transparency problem - one solution

Like many other people I have spent several frustrating days trying to solve the problem of Spry Menu Bar sub-menus appearing to be transparent (text, etc. underneath the sub-menus shows above/through the sub-menu items). This problem manifested itself in IE7, but not in Netscape, Safari or Firefox.
I thought it must be the dreaded IE z-index problem.
I have been through most other people's questions and replies on the Adobe forums, tried all kinds of z-index changes and various other mods to my own CSS and/or the Spry CSS's - all to no avail.
My situation:
I have a Spry Menu Bar above a clicktrail and a text block. Both the clicktrail and the text block showed through the sub-menu items, which drop-down over them.
All three items are located in relative-positioned divs, necessary because the whole page design is contained in a self-centralizing container div and absolute-positioned divs screw up the whole page layout when the screen size or browser window size changes.
(Sorry, I can't upload the files to a website at the moment.)
The solution that works for me in Dreamweaver CS4:
I selected the divs for the clicktrail and the text block, one at a time, and selected Modify > Arrange > Send to Back in Dreamweaver CS4.
I then selected these two items again and selected Modify > Arrange > Bring to Front.
Finally I selected the div containing the Spry Menu Bar and selected Modify > Arrange > Bring to Front. The thought behind this was that this would put the Spry Menu Bar on top of everything else - and it works!
This solution works in all four browsers, but don't ask me how! I can't see any change in any CSS, nor in my template code. All I can see is a strange, flashing vertical line (like an enormous cursor - about 10 cm [3"] high) in the middle of the template page only (and only in Dreamweaver) if I click on the page background. I can neither find an explanation for this nor anything in the coding which might cause it. By the way; the z-index for the menu div =2, the z-index for the clicktrail div is not defined and the z-index for the div for the text block is set to auto. I haven't tried other values and to be honest I'm not sure what they were set to before I applied the above 'solution'.
But hey - who the hell cares - my site works!
I hope this helps someone else out of an absolute hell-hole...if someone out there can explain where to find the code that had been changed or added by doing this I'd like to know. I don't like things I can't explain - even if they do work!

This is where the browser is told to supply a white background
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
     display: block;
     cursor: pointer;
     background-color: #fff;
     padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
     color: #333;
     text-decoration: none;
Vhange the value to transparent.
Also the last line int the CSS should be removed as in
filter: "alpha(opacity=60)";

In IE7 Vista, my CPU is pegged at 22%. I do not run flash in
Firefox because
of its rendering engine issues, so that might be an issue
there. Safari has
known issues rendering CSS hovers on top of flash. The
workaround is to
remove hovers or live with it.

Javascript error when selecting Spry Menu Bar in Design View

Hi there,
I get the following error message when trying to format the Spry Menu Bar in Design View:
"while executing inspectSelection in spry_menu.htm, a Javascript error occurred."
I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:
deleting site cache
closing/re-opening Dreamweaver
deleting Spry Menu Bar and recreating - same error occurs.
Other information:
I am using a MacBook Pro
it happens when clicking on the Menu Bar itself. I just want to change the properties
the Spry Menu Bar does not appear in Live View.
Here is a link to my site on Browserlab. It has not yet been published:
https://browserlab.adobe.com/en-us/index.html#zoom=100;state=use;view=0;url=dreamweaver%3A %2F%2Fsite%3AHope%2520Against%2520Hope%2FHAH_home.html;browsers=WXPIE6000%2CWXPIE9000%2COS XFF7000%2COSXSF5000%2CWXPCH14000
Is it a case of changing one of the values in the spry_menubar.js file?
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Charlie

Hi there,
The problem appears to have returned. I am getting the same error message as before and also an error saying there is a syntax error in my source code. Dreamweaver tells me which line the error is in:
var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("hope_menu", {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif", imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
In response to your earlier questions/points:
I am using version 0.13 of SpryMenuBar.js (is this what you mean?)
The menu now shows in Live View as I would expect it to
Here is a link to my published site:

Do you have any further advice?

I was working on my spry menu bar and now my sidebar1 photo moves with the menu bar?

I was working on my spry menu bar, and getting really far with it thanks to GRAMPS, and all of a sudden I wanted to put padding of 30px top and 30 px bottom on the sidebar1 photo in the container and now all of a sudden the home.jpg photo in the sidebar moves when you hover over the menu bar.
I can noit for the life of me figure out what changed and somehow was so excited about my spry menu bar working that I did not save the most recent working page. Can anybody look at this with me and let me know what changed to mess the page up on me.
Thanks a million.
Ted
site is located here http://www.subzerorefrigeration.com
None of the links are working I have just been playing with the spy menu for weeks. I finally figured it out and do not belive the error is in the spry style sheets.
Here is the code for my page. I know I am working with a template. I really do not want to start over if a <div> tag is missing.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

    <h1>Instructions</h1>
    <p>Be aware that the CSS for these layouts is heavily commented. If you do most of your work in Design view, have a peek at the code to get tips on working with the CSS for the fixed layouts. You can remove these comments before you launch your site. To learn more about the techniques used in these CSS Layouts, read this article at Adobe's Developer Center - <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts">http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts</a>.</p>
    <h1>Clearing Method</h1>
    <p>Because all the columns are floated, this layout uses a clear:both declaration in the .footer rule. This clearing technique forces the .container to understand where the columns end in order to show any borders or background colors you place on the .container. If your design requires you to remove the .footer from the .container, you'll need to use a different clearing method. The most reliable will be to add a <br class="clearfloat" /> or <div class="clearfloat"></div> after your final floated column (but before the .container closes). This will have the same clearing effect.</p>
    <h3>Logo Replacement</h3>
    <p>An image placeholder was used in this layout in the .header where you'll likely want to place a logo. It is recommended that you remove the placeholder and replace it with your own linked logo. </p>
    <p> Be aware that if you use the Property inspector to navigate to your logo image using the SRC field (instead of removing and replacing the placeholder), you should remove the inline background and display properties. These inline styles are only used to make the logo placeholder show up in browsers for demonstration purposes. </p>
    <p>To remove the inline styles, make sure your CSS Styles panel is set to Current. Select the image, and in the Properties pane of the CSS Styles panel, right click and delete the display and background properties. (Of course, you can always go directly into the code and delete the inline styles from the image or placeholder there.)</p>
    <h4>Backgrounds</h4>
    <p>By nature, the background color on any div will only show for the length of the content. This means if you're using a background color or border to create the look of a side column, it won't extend all the way to the footer but will stop when the content ends. If the .content div will always contain more content, you can place a border on the .content div to divide it from the column.</p>

My Spry Menu bar is different in design view and when I preview in Browser.
