Problem with Horizontal Spry Menu
Hi,
I have trawled through the forum to see if I can find an answer to my problem, but couldnt locate one, so this is my first post.
I recently built this website for my wifes business and was using a simple menu bar without any dropdowns, just to get the site up and running (healingthreads.com.au). Am now looking to do some enhancements and was looking to use a Spry Horizontal Menu Bar. All was going well in that I was able to insert the menu bar and get it in the right position, however the dropdowns below the top level items (ie. Item 1.1, Item 1.2 etc) are getting hidden behind one of the other DIV's and despite trying changing z-index values, am still not able to get the dropdowns to display in front of the main DIV. Have run out of ideas and am hoping the wisdom of the forum will be able to assist. I have the same problem on the Index page as well as the other pages on the site. The website is fairly basic at the moment and is simply promoting her courses and products.
Unfortunately am not able to post live code to a server for you to test on, so best that I can do is post the code for a page and for the CSS sheets. I have left the standard Spry code in place in the source code to show that the problem exists without and fancy changes that I have made to the Spry code. I have also removed the z-index properties that I had been playing around with. So, what I am attaching is the basic code that has the problem.
Hope someone can help.

Gramps,
Thanks for the prompt reply, greatly appreciated here in Sydney.
Re your response. When I preview the page in both Safari and Firefox, the dropdowns are not visible, just the top layer Items.
Dont understrand what is going on.
Am I doing something wrong when I am previewing the file?
RThanks,

ERROR with Horizontal Spry Menu & IE 7 ONLY!
I created a new website with CS3 adding a horizontal Spry Menu across the top of the page. I am having a problem with this menu in Internet Explorer 7 ONLY! I don't have this problem with Firefox, Chrome or Safari. I wouldn't care so much but IE is the dominant browser. The site is: http://www.sunscapesolar.net. The problem is that when you mouse over any of the top-level menu titles that have sub-menus below like: PRODUCTS, SYSTEMS, INCENTIVES, etc., the body text shifts down and I get a white box popping up that says "false." I've checked everything I know but since DW created the javascript code, I don't know where to go. I have posted this problem three times and nobody has responded! Someone has to know what's wrong! Please help... I don't want to create the site from scratch. . .
Thanks in advance...

Problems with Vertical Spry menu bar in Internet Explora
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.
Website address: http://www.greenwyse.co.uk/
I'm finding dreamweaver a bit clunky, reading the 'Missing Manual' but still very frustrating. Any one have any idea's/
cheers
myquirkSorry, 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.

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!

Level 2 Submenu problems - Horizontal Spry Menu
Okay, I have successfully implemented a horizontal spry menu. Most links don't have drop downs but there are some that has submenus. For example.
Main Link
> Products
> Services
Service 1
Service 2
Service 3
etc
The 1st submenu works fine (i.e. the one that would show products and services) and the second level submenu links work okay as well (ie Service 1, 2 etc) BUT ONLY in Firefox, Safari and Chrome. I CANNOT for life nor money get the second submenu to work in ie8. It just doesn't show! I need help urgently!
The site is in design process so there isn't a URL yet. If it would be helpful, I could upload everything onto my server so the files can be viewed. Just let me know what is required.
Has anyone encountered anything like this before? All very weird...and needless to say...very annoying too.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
BenUpdate - it's a problem with opacity!
I wnated to have a submenu with 0.85 opacity. I had the following CSS in the file:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
filter:alpha(opacity=85);
-moz-opacity:0.85;
-khtml-opacity: 0.85;
opacity: 0.85;
This resulted in the second submenu disappearing in IE8...but it worked okay in all the other browsers.
Any idea for submenus with opacity in IE??

Help with a very simple horizontal Spry menu
Hi,
I’ve always received great help here and I’m sure that if I explain the issue I’m having properly I’ll get some good input.
This is to do with a very simple horizontal Spry menu, there’s no dropdown involved, only a color change on the rollover. The menu items are in a shade of blue, then on the rollover each menu item changes to a shade of red, the font color remains white for both.
What’s mentioned above works flawlessly, the problem I’m having is this … On the rollover when the menu block items turn red, I’m attempting to add a 1px border around the entire block, but when I do the block item seems to want to change its width and height slightly when it’s rolled-over. As I said, without the border it works perfect.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.steve0308 wrote:

You also have to apply the border to the 'a' css selector. If you just apply it to the 'a:hover' css selector then the tab will grow slightly bigger because its adding more width and height to the overall structure. -
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.htmlHello,
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

Horizontal Spry Menu appears as bullet point list in IE8 and below - fine in firefox, chrome and IE9
This one is breaking my brain! I have an horizontal spry menu bar in my website that renders correctly in all browsers except ie 8 and below where it appears like an unordered list - almost like no CSS had been applied at all. You can check out the site here http://www.webhance.com.au. The spry css looks like this:

I really really need some help - hope someone out there can point me in the right direction :-)
JulieHi Gramps - thanks for getting back to me - I took advantage of your advice to others with some other issues I had and they worked a charm so I was really hoping to hear from you :-)
Unfortunately removing media="only screen and (min-width: 769px) from the css call didn't resolve the problem. Check it out on my index page www.webhance.com.au/index.html Any other ideas?
Cheers, Julester -
HELP PLEASE!!! Horizontal Spry Menu
I'm having trouble with my horizontal spry menu. I have added
it and it looks great in Firefox. No problems at all, exactly how I
like it. But when previewed in Internet Explorer it doesn't show at
all. There's nothing. I've inserted the "mark of the web." Nothing.
I don't really know where I'm going wrong. I'm relatively new to
Dreamweaver and am using CS4. Can someone please help?Thank you Beth,
That has helped me a great deal, there is still a slight problem though... while the menus are falling vertically now they are not inline with the menu buttons, (slightly to the right each time).
You suggested I upload the website to a server but I am not at this stage yet and I'm not sure how to do this either! I don't know if it's possible to help me without this? My code is still the same, the only difference now being that both ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul and ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li have stated widths as you suggested; 8em.
Maybe this will help show you the problem:
I know this is really bad quality I think you can see how the sub menu isn't directly underneath the heading (highlighted in blue). I want the sub heading to be inline with the 'About us' heading, do you know how to do this?
Thank very much for the help so far,

Horizontal Spry Menu Breaks in IE6
I have created an horizontal spry menu using the spry widget
in DreamWeaver CS3. I would like the width of each menu item to
adjust to the text (width: auto;) and that works fine in current
browsers (FireFox, IE7, Opera, Netscape) but in IE6 the menu items
are displayed vertically instead of horizontally. As soon as I give
them a width, it displays appropriately in IE6, but that changes
the look. You can see the page in question at
http://www.inachordwebdesign.com/ccc/test.html
Is there any way to work around this problem with the older
IE versions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if
I need to upload any code. This is one of my first posts, so I'm
not sure what all I need to post.
Thanks!I have updated the Spry Assets as suggested, but still have
the same results. Removing the float:left for the menu bar doesn't
help with the item alignment in IE6 and actually introduces a
problem in the current version of Firefox, so that isn't the
problem either.
Any other thoughts? The only thing that seems to force the
menu bar to display horizontally in IE is to have fixed widths for
the list items in the unordered list (ul.MenuBarHorizontal li). As
soon as I change that from a defined width to auto, or remove the
width designation altogether, it falls back to a vertical
arrangement in IE6, though it works in all the more recent browsers
just fine. We'd rally prefer to let the list items size
automatically, but if there is no way around it, I'll have to try
to replicate that effect by assigning a different width to each
item. That will add a lot of extra code, unfortunately.
Thanks. -
Horizontal spry menu floats around differently in FF and IE
Hi there !!
I would like to ask you about the following:
When I use a horizontal spry menu and have it adjusted for FireFox, I get a result I can live with.
Except that the submenu's under the heading 'cultuur' and 'projekt' do not slide down altogether, but are horizontal as well...
How can I fix it so that they are positioned under its 'parent' ??
But that's my minor question, actually...
When I open my site in Internet Explorer (7 & 8) the spry menu looks different; it is far more stretched. First it also floated left, but I managed to fix that. The major problem is that the submenu's appear on the left of the page. I can't get them under their respective parents at all.
Can you please help me with that?
My site:
www.mnette.nl
(if you need more info, I'm glad to provide it )When I use the original SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, your page behaves extremely well. I realise that you wish to customise the menu to suit your site, but these modifications are to be made under strict rules so that the cross browser functionality is not compromised.
Have a look at the following 10 commandments http://dwcourse.com/dreamweaver/ten-commandments-spry-menubars.php#one
May I suggest that you ressurrect the original style sheet and work your way from there making sure that you keep to the above commandments.
If you still have problems, please come back here for further assistance.
Go Aussies and Hup Holland!

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