Show Menu bar selected state

Does anyone know how to show the selected state of a spry menubar butten when that button is clicked?

Spry does not provided such functionality nativly. So either add a extra "selected" class to your menu bar your self, or create a small JavaScript that does it for you..
For example a script that read the location; This example uses SpryDOMUtlis.js
Spry.$$('#id-of-your-menu-bar-here a').forEach(function(node){
     if(location.href.match(node.href)){
          // if the location url, matches the href of the found <a> than add a "selected" class to the parentNode (LI)
          Spry.Utils.addClassName(node.parentNode, 'selected');
This is just piece of example code, it might work or might horribly fail. ;D

Dreamweaver Spry menu bar focus state

How do I keep the link highlighted when I am on that page using the Spry menu bar feature in DreamWeaver CS5.5?
Thank you,
Denise

I understand what you are saying but do not have a clue how to implement this script. I am more on the designer end of things. I am comfortable editing CSS but this is a bit out of my radar. How do I make a separate SpryDOMUtils.js file?
What and where of this info do I copy into my html file?
Here are the pages I am trying to get this to work on. On this page I want the Dwell link on the left to be the orange color:

Thank you for your time.

I am not able to view the default view of FF 4.0, It is showing menu bar with the windows border. When i turn off menu bar, the strip which should be present above the tabs goes missing.

I have recently downloaded FF 4.0 and using a lot of add-ons. I am not able to view the default view of FF 4.0 with no menu bar. Even after turning off the menu bar from customization, I am able to see only the tabs and FF button, but not the strip over the tabs.

When you hide the menu bar to display the Firefox button, the titlebar (strip above the tabs) is only displayed if the Firefox window is not maximized. If you always want the Window titlebar, you can use the Firefox 4 UI Fixer extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-4-ui-fixer

Unable to click elements in menu bar when toggling (with alt) from hidden state

I've put few elements in normally hidden menu bar, like "RSS icon" or "Downloaded files icon". After showing menu bar they look properly (e.g. icons highlight on mouse over), but won't execute action - menu bar will hide upon click on them.
I've also put search bar there, selecting items from it works properly, after opening select search engine all other elements start to work, yet, after executing an action menu bar won't hide again until some menu is opened and closed. At the moment I'm using FF 5.0, but problem exists in 6.0 as well

Normal State Button Shows Selected State At Loop Point

My menu shows the Normal State Button Shows as the selected state At Loop Point. I want it to show for instance black until it is selected then "rollover" to red. TIA for any help.
Murman

There are two ways that you can do this without resorting to using a layer based shape or a layer based menu.
First, you need to decide if it is important for the logo to appear in full colour or if you can get away with a single colour instance of it appearing. If the answer to this is that a single colour is OK, then use a standard overlay menu. Otehrwise, try using a masked overlay menu (there are limitations...)
With a standard overlay, the background image is as you want it to appear without anything selected - all shapes and text, etc, should be in place as if no button is chosen.
You then create the overlay, which is a simple .pict file that is the size of the menu. On this you simply place as many instances of the logo as you need - create them in black or grayscale and don't add anything else. The overlay will be mostly white with the black or gray shapes on it.
Add this to your menu in DVDSP and drag out the button rectangles to cover the background text and the overlay shape. When the button is selected, the logo shape will show up, but will not show in the normal state.
You can get the logo to be whatever colour you need by using the colour mapping within the property inspector for the button.
If you definitley need a full colour logo to appear, you can either use a layer based photoshop menu, or use overlay masks:
http://www.editorsbin.com/authoring/mask_overlay.html
be aware that there are some limitations when using the masking technique - but all is explained in that tutorial.

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)

IMac first shows progress bar on startup and then won't start up at all!

Hi,
My iMac's somewhat ill I'm afraid. When I power it up, the Apple gong goes and I see the grey Apple logo appear. Few seconds later an progress bar shows up and it doesn't fill, in a minute it'll just disappears and the spinning thing under the logo appears. I've been waiting for over an hour and still nothing happened. I've tried force-powering it off and boot it up again, but still the same results, this is very very very annoying, especially since I don't know what to do at all about this expect for a complete clean install, but that'll be the last option I want, because all my photo's are on it, etc.
I've installed, an complete clean install, of Snow Leopard a month or two ago, and yesterday I powered the computer off the regular way.
Thanks a lot in advance you guys!
EDIT
Another weird thing going on: I have my hard drive configured in two partition, one for Windows (sorry, needed to run AutoCad) and one for Mac OS. Now when I start up with the option button I get to see the two partitions and their names. My Mac drive now has got a different name, it's the same name, but with a " 1" behind it.
When I select the partition on Windows Vista, it now shows these disturbing folders:

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Boot from your install disc and run Disk Utiity to see if there are errors on the startup disk that need repairing.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode
*" because all my photo's are on it, etc."*
If you can get the iMac to boot normally I suggest you back up those photos and any other important data to an external source ASAP in case there's a problem.
No idea why you are seeing those folders in Windows. Boot from your install disc and see what's going on.

When I turn on the mac there is no menu bar

Someone has this problem?

Hey there Iboppie,
It sounds like you need to have the menu bar showing in iTunes. This article will help you with that:
iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5610
To turn on iTunes menus in Windows 8 or 7, do one of the following:
Press the Alt key.
This will turn the menus on and off temporarily. This will change back to the default, the iTunes menus being turned off, when you next close iTunes.
To keep the iTunes menus active, change the setting by selecting the Menu icon in the upper-left, and then selecting Show Menu Bar. Alternatively, you can press Control-B.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I have a VI with menu barattached i want to remove the menu bar.I am able to remove the menu bar in run continuously mode.but not in normal mode how do i do it in normal mode

I have a VI with menu bar.I am able to remove menu bar in continuous mode by setting window appearence.But i want the menu bar to be removed at normal mode also.How do i do it

You can trun off the menu while the VI is running by going into the VI properties (right click on the VI icon and select 'Properties). Then from the Catagory selestion box, select Window Appearance, click the Customize button, then uncheck the Show Menu Bar check box and hit OK twice. That shold do it.
Note that this will only turn off the menu while the VI is running. The standard menu will always be showing when the VI is not running.

Photoshop Elements Menu Bar Troublehsooting

Hey everyone, first time poster here. I have a question concerning a recurring problem that I'm having with Photoshop Elements 4.0's Menu Bar (File, Edit, etc.) I bought Elements 4.0 new in 2005 and have used it often since without upgrading because it still does what I need it to do for graphic design and photo restoration projects, but often, Elements' Menu Bar will lock up after increasingly shorter sessions of use. I can still use photo editing functions in the fields on the left & right, but the Menu Bar's buttons will flicker and not open when I click on them. When this happens, Elements won't close without Task Manager, and I can't use certain keyboard shortcuts on open projects (i.e. I can copy work suing Ctrl + C but I can't save it in Elements using Ctrl + S.) An unistallation and re-installation does solve the problem at first, but the frozen/flickering Menu Bar does return eventually
I don't want to buy a whole new version of Photoshop if I don't have to, so I was wondering if this was a recurring or fixable problem that I can correct, or is this a sign that I should get Elements 11 or 12? I'm running an HP Touchsmart 300 computer with Windows 7, and it flawlessly runs Elements 4.0 despite it's age aside from the aforementioned problem. This has been a recurring issue for over a year, but only now is it getting to a frequency rate where I can't move around it easily. I can provide other information if it's at all helpful, and thanks for any advance assistance!

First, thank you lundberg2 for moving this to the right forum, I didn't know that Elements had a separate forum.
I did delete the preference file for Elements 4.0, though not the way you gave because the Alt+Ctrl+Shift command didn't work on this version. I did it manually by deleting the Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 Prefs.psp file located in AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/4.0/Editor. This did help temporarily, but the problem returned after steady use today on restoring old family photos. Menu Bar buttons still just highlight and flicker, work can't be saved directly, and Elements won't close. I did notice that sometimes, changing the active tool on the left would get the Menu Bar selections open, but not all worked as normal, and the problem returned if I changed tools. Is there another possible fix/remedy that I could try?

Need menu bar on BOTH displays when using external monitor

How can I have the menu bar on BOTH displays without using the "Mirror Display" mode???
I bought a Thunderbolt and use it with my MBA. It works fine overall but this is still like having one display instead of two. A real downer!!
There are 2 modes:
Mirror Displays: (identical screen: why waste valuable screen realestate?)
"Normal" mode: where it gives you access to the 2 monitors independently (you can move apps. windows and locate them on any screen you want).
In the "Normal" mode, you can move the menu bar from one display to the other but it does not resolve the problem. We need TWO menu bars, which work identical and can be used on whatever display the mouse cursor happens to be.
Currently, let's say I have applications A & B displaying on MBA, applications C & D displaying on TB, and the Menu Bar on TB. It is a nightmare to work!!!! Anytime I want to work on A or B I have to move the mouse side way to get to the MBA, then to use the menu, I can't even move up into the TB all the way to the menu bar: I have to move through the side onto the TB then up to the menu bar, select, down through the TB, side way to the MBA, and on and on and on....
Anybody knows how to duplicate a functional menu bar without Mirror Display?
Anyway of simplifying this nightmare?
Thanks

Unwanted shadow around menu bar.

I'm sure this is an easy fix, but I can't get rid of the stroke or back shadow that is on my content menu. I attached a screen shot. Anyone know what I'm missing here? And can I just say, I HATE the change Muse made in asking questions! It took me 10 minutes to figure out how to even ask this question!

Depends on where the stroke is applied. You can set a stroke & fill on the menu bar itself, or each menu item, or the text frame inside the menu item. Here's an example menu bar with a different stroke/fill on each of those things:
The first click on the menu bar selects the menu bar, then you can change the fill stroke for the bar itself(brown & red in my example).
If you click again, you should get a menu item selected, and you can change that stroke/fill(yellow & green in my example).
If you click again on the text, you should get the text frame selected and you can change that stroke/fill(orange & blue-grey in my example).
Hope that helps.
