Spry Horizontal Menu Bar not working in IE
Hi! I am new to this forum and new to Dreamweaver. I recently used Dreamweaver to build a website to display my digital portfolio. I am not very good at this and don't understand much of this works. I inserted a spry horizontal menu bar for my navigation. I did change the original set up to have the background the colors I wanted and I also changed the size so it would go across the top of my page. This looks fine in Firefox and Safari but in Internet Explorer the bar displays vertically, which does not look good. Can anyone look at my code and tell me how I can fix this problem?
I appreciate any help I can get with this as I have tried everything I know.

Spry widget menu bar as a library item - problems
I created a spry vertical menu bar and made it a library item. The original works great, however when I insert the library item into its own div tag on another page, the submenus will not pop out, either in DW or the browser view. The div tag is the correct size and I made the z index high enough. Here is the code of the page that works properly:

I understand about having the script and link element that connect my page to the dependent files in the SpryAssets folder in the header and the JavaScript function cal at the bottom on each page. I don't know what else to do - HELP!Welcome to the Dreamweaver world!
Well, having your index.html page at the top/root level is important, as that is the default page by which people will enter your site.
Having other pages in folders is fine...I do it all the time in order to keep departments or categories of information sorted.
One characteristic of having pages in folders is that the hierarchy of files in folders (perforce) puts them at different depths in the site.
This is not inherently a bad thing! Just one to remain aware of. When you look at your site files in the Files Panel, you can see a graphical representation of those different levels.
But the nature of a library item is that it is identical in all its instances, which is what makes it useful...change it in the library, and it changes site-wide. The down-side of that identity is that when your files are at different depths in the hierarchy, their links back to, say, home (or any other same file) will change depending on the depth. You can see this if you make a link on a page, then drag the page (in the Files Panel) to a different depth...say, into a folder when it started at root level, or vice versa. Check the link, and you will see that it automatically adapted to the new path.
Library items do not do that; they do not change, so some of your links will be 'wrong' when you refer to pages that have different paths than the ones originally set up in the library item... because of the change in hierarchy.
All this is, of course, reliant on your creation of the site in the first place, as defining the root folder's location on your computer gives Dreamweaver a starting point for handling (juggling?) all the location-information for your site's files.

Spry Horizontal Menu Bar in IE
Hello,
I had looked at the forums for a possible solution to this, and none of the answers I have found work for me. I have a spry horizontal menu bar with a background image. It works in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox but on IE the background image does not show. There is only a white background. I have changed ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE to have a background image but it still doesn't show in IE.
This is the website: fwmedpeds.net
I am very new to this and any help is appreciated.If you go to your online SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css which can be found here http://fwmedpeds.net/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, you will see the last few lines as I have previously quoted.
You will also see what Ken Binney has said

Spry Horizontal Menu bar - submenu position
I'm new to spry so apologies in advance if this has been
posted before.......
I'm putting together a new site using the spry horizontal
menu bar - I've managed to put together a CSS format which works
well in both FireFox and IE7 EXCEPT for the position of the
sub-menus below the main menu bar. IE7 seems to position the sub
menu relative to the top right corner of the parent menu item.
Firefox seems to position it relative to the bottom left corner -
and I can't find a solution which works for both browsers. Any
ideas?You must have fixed it in the meantime as I see no problem.

Question on spry vertical menu bar backgrounds
I have a spry vertical menu bar. The menu branches off to 3 or 4 levels in some cases. When you mouse over the menu structure the menu path that you have selected turns a different color. I acheived this by giving
ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemHover, ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover, ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
a different text color and also a different background color using CSS. The thing I want to acheive now is to somehow make listings within my menu structure that are clickable links a slightly different color. This is to signal that a menu selection that is currently being hovered over is indeed clickable (and linked to another page). For example, most of my clickable menu listings are at the end of a menu branches. That is to say the menu listing at the 1st and 2nd level are not clickable (linked to another page) but the listing that falls at the end of the menu branch is clickable.
How can I make the menu listings that link to other pages a different color then the other menu listings that do not link anywhere but are instead just the preceding struture to get you to the end of the menu structure?
Currently menu listings which merely branches off and do not link to a clickable page have a reference of "#" as shown below.
<li><a href="#">Menu_1</a>
This "#" was put there by Dreamweaver so I just followed the pattern. Clickable menu listings reference another HTML page as you would expect.Nancy,
Thanks for the reply (it helped me know how to approach it). It looks like editing
ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover
will give me the behavior I was looking for. I don't know if that is what I want to do now that I look at it though. Using different colored backgrounds when hovering over links seems to contrast too much (even though some are clickable and others are not). Perhaps I didn't have the right color choice.
Instead I thought about emphasizing links that are clickable (with some type of visual variation) as opposed to making the hovering background color path to those clickable links different. I experimented with placing a 1 inch border around links in the menu that can be clicked but I am not sure if I like it or not.
I am using a background color of #7D120C for the hover. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Why does Spry horizontal menu bar displays as a list?
I createda spry hoizontal menu bar which looks great on my workspace but when I preview it in a browser, it displays as an unordered list.Does anyone have an explanation for what has happened and how to correct it?
It sounds like the path to the support files - SpryMenuBar.js and/or SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css - is not correct.

Spry Vertical Menu Bar Styling Issues
Hello all,
I'm having CSS issues with a spry vertical menu bar. The Menu
is fairly basic but, it has some odd sizing requirements specified
by it's designer. The designer would like the sub menu items to all
have different widths that correspond to the actual content within
them. Here is sample.
http://staging.rm306.com/cycle/
The menu seen at the page above was not build with Spry. It
was build with another tool and has considerable problems with
consistent browser display.
Can anyone give me a short list of styles and where they
should be applied that might help me achieve this reletively simple
effect?
I've tried to use Spy menu bars in my projects in the past
but, there was always some sticking point. I'd like this time to be
the winner if possible.
Thanks for your time and patience in advance,
KevinThe sample page I posted came after searching for an easy
"how to do it". The closest I found to a tutorial was this:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spryte_menu.html
The author designs and implements a spry menu with Fire Works
graphics. The last section describes how to modify the existing CSS
for multiple levels. Yet I found the sample page easier to follow.
I hope this helps though. -
Spry Horizontal menu bar borders not showing in IE6/IE 7 but ok in Mozilla!
I am hoping someone can help me! I have built a spry menu
with CS 3 and have altered the CSS file to customise colours etc.
the problem I am encountering is that I have specified white
borders around the menus items and sub menus which look perfectly
fine in Mozilla Firefox but when I check IE 6 & 7 the borders
have disappeared! I am hoping someone you may have a workaround or
any reason this might happen.

My horizontal spry menu bar displays correctly at http://www.matthewvandyke.com/ar/photos/ but displays vertical at http://www.matthewvandyke.com/ar/about.html. It started doing this a few days ago and I am not sure why.
Can anyone take a look at this code and tell me why this would be happening?

This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar. You should have no need
to edit this file. Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
showing that submenu until the timer fires.

You might try a transitional DTD, which should be more forgiving than the strict:

Other than that, I don't see anything particular (because I don't see the error, either) that would cause the menu to drop vertically instead of horizontally.

How do I change height of the Spry Horizontal Menu Bar?
Hi,
I've been playing around with the Spry menu bar for 3 days now and I can't seem to increase the height of the spry menu bar the way I want. It increases when you enlarge the text, but I don't want it to get too big, but I still need to increase the height of the box. I also tried it in the properties. The box's height will increase but the text stays at the top of the box which looks really weird because I want it to be centered. Also, when do this, the submenus increase along and I want them to stay the same size.
I truly hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Spry Vertical Menu Bar OK in Safari?
I'm revising the menu and using Spry in order to make the
menu friendlier to all generations of Safari. Has anyone had issues
with the Spry menu bar in Safari?
Thanks for any help.I am told by Safari users (no mention of which Safari
release) that the site as it stands (using Xara rather than Spry)
does not allow hover to work correctly. The submenus appear until
the Safari user hovers over them, at which point they disappear. My
mockup page menu seems to work fine with Safari for Windows Beta,
but I just want to make sure that Mac users can get into the page.
Thanks. -
Spry Horizontal Menu Bar position change in different browsers
Here is the page: http://pragati.de/index2.html
There is a Horizontal Spry Menu Bar which is floating right. In Dreamweaver CS5's Live View, the navigation menu appears perfectly in line with background image and same is the true when previewed in Google Chrome and Safari. However when previewed in Firefox or Opera, the navigation menu appears a little below the background image and leaves kind of a dent which is clearly visible. I have not yet tried it in IE.
I have posted this question before but didn't find any solution.Here is the page: http://pragati.de/index2.html

Spry vertical menu bar positioning issue in IE
I have been trying to fix a problem with my spry menu bar and have been looking for answers at several spry forums. I have modified my vertical spry menu to open submenus above and to the right of the main menu. It works in Opera, Firefox and Safari and opens below in IE. I tried changing the positioning from absolute to relative and that made it position itself below in all browsers. So, by deductive reasoning there seems to be something going on with IE when it reads the absolute positioning, is there a fix for this? You can see my website at raydlett.com the menubar is called STUDIO.
Here is my vertical menubar CSS:
@charset "UTF-8";
/* SpryMenuBarVertical.css - version 0.6 - Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1 */
/* The outermost container of the Menu Bar, a fixed width box with no margin or padding */
ul.MenuBarVertical
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
cursor: default;
width: 6.75em;
/* Set the active Menu Bar with this class, currently setting z-index to accomodate IE rendering bug: http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/meuk/IE-zindexbug.html */
ul.MenuBarActive
z-index: 1000;
/* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are same fixed width as parent */
ul.MenuBarVertical li

padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
position: relative;
text-align: left;
cursor: pointer;
width: 6.75em;
/* Submenus should appear slightly overlapping to the right (95%) and up (-5%) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */
ul.MenuBarVertical ul
margin: 0 0 0 95%;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1020;
cursor: default;
width: 9.2em;
left: -1000em;
bottom:-1%;
/* Submenu that is showing with class designation MenuBarSubmenuVisible, we set left to 0 so it comes onto the screen */
ul.MenuBarVertical ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
left: 0;
/* Menu item containers are same fixed width as parent */
ul.MenuBarVertical ul li
width: 9.2em;
DESIGN INFORMATION: describes color scheme, borders, fonts
/* Outermost menu container has borders on all sides */
ul.MenuBarVertical
border: 0px solid #fff;
/* Submenu containers have borders on all sides */
ul.MenuBarVertical ul
border: 0px solid #fff;
/* Menu items are a light gray block with padding and no text decoration */
ul.MenuBarVertical a
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
background-color: #fff;
padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
color: #666;

/* Menu items that have mouse over or focus have a white background and orange text */

BROWSER HACKS: the hacks below should not be changed unless you are an expert
/* HACK FOR IE: to make sure the sub menus show above form controls, we underlay each submenu with an iframe */
ul.MenuBarVertical iframe

z-index: 1010;
filter:alpha(opacity:0.1);
/* HACK FOR IE: to stabilize appearance of menu items; the slash in float is to keep IE 5.0 from parsing */
@media screen, projection

Here are the associated global.css components:

I have also attached the index.html file that uses the modified "STUDIO" Spry MenuBar2
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
ribit10That makes sense, tooltips are tooltips, and appear at the tip of the mouse...But those "submenu triggers" can be simply styled links (as they are in a spry menu)...don't need to be swaps or images or image maps.
What about a using show/hide behavior? Click the STUDIO and the menu pops up adjacent in an apDiv. Click a link. Or click the x to close the apDiv.
You know this is just an exercise to run through all the Javascript and Spry that is in Dreamweaver, eh?
By the way, just providing a link to your page is quite all you need to do. You don't need to attach your files or show pictures of them...by providing a link, I can save a web page in its entirety and open it in Dreamweaver.

I upgraded to CS4 yesterday in hopes Adobe had improved the Usability Features of Flash. Not so. Is it really true that you can't put FOCUS on the Property Inspector Panel in Flash CS4 with a keyboard command on the Mac? Seriously? Is there another w
