Spry Accordion Problem in Internet Explorer

Hi,
i have created a spry accordion menu in Dreamweaver CS3. My
problem is that when I click in Internet Explorer, small selection
handles appear all round the accordion object. This looks quite
poor then. Any ideas how I can get rid of these?
Thanks.

Except for the fact that Spry Accordions are involved, the problem is hardly Spry related.
Having said that, I will try to help you on your way to solving your problem.
The following is a list of my observations
the <div id="wrapper"> on line 74 does not have an ending tag
<div class="right-column" has 35px padding on the right but not on the left. Because IE interprets the so-called box model differntly to other browsers, and because the div is floated right, the left edge of the div will be pushed further to the left than on other browsers. It may be an idea to put at least some of the padding on the left to keep it clear of the divider line
the field set in your contact form is 460px wide, the div surrounding it is only 440px and again IE reacts differntly to other browsers in that it expands the parent to suit the child. Try reducing the width of the fieldset to say 400px.

Accordion Problem in Internet Explorer

Hi,
This is the scenario, i developed a small framework and gave
it to the developer,
which included a Accordion, which i accomplished via using
Spry Widget in dreamweaver.
Now the problem is, everything works fine when viewed in
Firefox and where as in Internet
Explorer the Accordion doesn't seems to work well. Someone
point me in the right direction;
on what could be wrong.

And once you get into the cart, click on the
"My Subscribed Products" you will notice
the odd accordion in Internet Explorer, this exists in
version 6.0 as well as in 7.0
For your reference i've attached the
"SpryAccordion.css" file.
Thanks in advance.

Live text reflows differently (even when using the same font) in different browsers, browser versions, operating systems and devices.
To have this image appear at a consistent location in the text flow, cut it, click an insertion point in the text frame where you want the image to be and paste. Then select the image with the text tool (as though it's a very large character) and use text alignment to center it. Pasting it into the text frame will cause it to be treated as a character in the text flow and thus it will appear at a consistent location when the text is laid out differently in different browsers.

Spry menu problems with Internet explorer

Hi everyone
I'm having ongoing problems with my horizontal menus and
internet explorer. They work fine in other browsers and with the
generous help of others at these forums I've managed to sort out
most of the problems. But I've hit a real wall with this one. The
menus drop down showing the links OK but you cannot highlight or
click on the options that drop down, they just appear as text. Any
help would be appretiated. My appologies for posting in other
threads also but just hoping for a response.
I am very new to this side of design so simple answers would
be very helpful. Thanks
Bob

I have 2 similar problems to the prior posts:
1) I run IE7 and FF and the positioning of my submenus are
skewed in IE only.
2) I am not sure, but I believe I have a problem with my
iframe appearing in my IE7 browser behind all of my submenus. Well,
I know I have a problem with something, but whether or not it's the
iframe I don't know. What I do know is that the box shows up like a
border around my submenus and I can't get rid of it. I suspect that
it may be caused by the fact that my menu buttons are imported
gif's in the shape of rounded rectangles which allows for the
corners to be visible. I actually just thought about it and my
gif's are set to have a white index transparency, but maybe If I
export the gifs without transparency, then that issue will be
resolved. Well I will try that part and see, but any and all
suggestions are welcome. Oh and I just remembered, that problem
with the border around my submenus also has another problem with
the word "false" inside of that border behind my submenus. This
problem again is only in my IE browser, and it is hard to see it,
but I have no idea why that is there or what it's from. I ran a
search in my SpryMenuHorizontal.css page and in my html page for
the word 'false' but nothing turned up. The only document related
to this issue that contains the word 'false' is the
'SpryMenuBar.js' document.

I see that you have a very thin doctype at the top. I suggest you create a new page in Dreamweaver and copy the bit at the top of the page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
I see that you have two opening <body> tags. Delete one; it is not needed. Add the preload images from the second into the first body tag and delete the second.
I see code below the closing </html> tag. Re position it before the closing </body> tag.
Because of these errors mentioned above, it was impossible to see the page. Fix and reply here when you have done so.
Also, it is not possible for me to divine what difficulty you are having. If you can please also express it in English (LOL), I'll be happy to suggest a correction for you!

Java Applet Background Color Problem on Internet Explorer

Hi,
Please check out the following URL:
http://www.utopiainteractive.com/clients/AkonFinal/glossary.htm
The menu bar is writting in Java Applet. If you scroll down the page, and scroll back up, I see white background as I scroll back up. It happens only on Internet explorer. Neither Java Applet nor HTML Body bg color is white. I am kinda lost, and any help would really be appreciated.
Thank you and look forward to hearing from someone soon.
Sachin

Hi,
Well I used HtmlConver utility to generate applet html code, so I assume nothing is wrong with Object tag. Do you know what could cause this problem on Internet explorer? To be honest, I spent last couple of days, but I am just lost. It absolutely works fine on Netscape.

Since the recent upgrade from Adobe pdf plug-inn Firefox often won't open pdf-files. Uninstalling doesn't help. I don't have this problem with Internet Explorer.

Hi efacg,
Most printing issues are solved by resetting the Printing preferences. When you print from Firefox and you click on the down arrow, do you see Defualt and Firefox? Please make changes to the preferences here and preview the document.
If this continues to be an issue please also see [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
If there are any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask, we are here to help.

Printer print size is very small. Do not have this problem with Internet explorer.

When I try to print something in Firefox, the printer print size is extremely small. I do not have this problem with Internet Explorer.

File > Page Setup - '''Scale''' <br />
100% or Shrink to Fit is usually best.

Spry Alignment and Positioning Problem in Internet Explorer 6 and 7

I am designing a website at http://atoment.007gb.com, and neither me, nor my partner can figure out why the Spry Horizontal Menu Bar is loading the way it is in Internet Explorer. We are doing this for a school project, and eye appeal and workability is a top priority. I changed and customized most of it, but even if i did keep it the same, it still wouldn't work. I have only the best confidence, that even given the amount i have changed, you will still be able to help me with my alignment problem.
The Submenu Buttons Tile across the page, when they are supposed to go straight down...
the Submenu overlaps the main menu when you hover over it
and the darned thing wont center in any of my browsers, but thats the least of my worries.
Here is the CSS Codes
#MasterNavigator {
width: 1024px;
height: 75px;
#Navigator {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
clear: both;
#NavigatorButtonsLeft {
background-image: url(../_images/MenuButtonBackgroundLeft.png);
width: 128px;
height: 36px;
line-height: 36px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align:center;
#NavigatorButtonsMiddle {
background-image: url(../_images/MenuButtonBackground.png);
width: 128px;
height: 36px;
line-height: 36px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align:center;
#NavigatorButtonsRight {
background-image: url(../_images/MenuButtonBackgroundRight.png);
width: 128px;
height: 36px;
line-height: 36px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align:center;
#NavigatorButtonsSub {
background-image:url(../_images/SubMenuButtonBackground.png);
width: 128px;
height: 35px;
line-height: 36px;
text-align: center;
filter:alpha(opacity=80);
-moz-opacity:0.8;
-khtml-opacity: 0.8;
opacity: 0.8;

ok, but how can I make it work with what I have. All the css codes are the
same, they just have been renamed.
The original SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css does not have any issues in any of the browsers. If you go and modify the original, and it does not work anymore, then the logical conclusion is that you have made one or (more likely) multiple mistakes.
In other words, you cannot make it work with what you already have.
My advice is that you replace the original CSS and work from there; but instead of changing the original CSS, make your changes in a separate stylesheet so that you can monitor and test the code at each change. For instance if you want to change the colour of the text you make a style rule that overrides the original in your new stylesheet as follows:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {
    color: #333;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a:hover, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a:focus {
    color: #FFF;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemHover, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible {
    color: #FFF;
If you want to change the background colour to an image, then follow the same procedure, testing your code at each step.
I hope this helps.

Spry Horizontal Submenu Bar Problem in Internet Explorer

I follow all the directions for adding a Horizontal Spry Menu Bar and the submeanu keeps dropping in the upper left
corner of the browser in Internet Explorer. Please help to fix this problem. It looks great in all other browsers, but not
in Internet Explorer.
I have the width for the parent menu and the child menu equal at 132 px.

Thanks For Your Reply.
I finally got the spry menu to act right. How, I don't know??? Trail and error. Trail and error. I prefer to know what I am doing. So any help would be appreciated.

Spry Drop Down Problem in Internet Explorer

I have built my spry drop down and it is working in all browsers except for IE. I really need help with this. Attached is my code or you can view it at roemtech.com/menubarattempt.html. It is rendering it vertically and stacking the buttons on top of each other. Check it out in Internet explorer to see what I mean. Thanks so much for the help.

It needs to be versions 6 and higher of Internet Explorer. I will attach my CSS below. Just note all of the notes are still in there from dreamweaver. Thanks for looking at this.

Spry Validation Error in Internet Explorer

Hi,
I have a PHP form with Spry Validation for Textfields and Selction.
The init part in the HTML form looks like this:
      var spryradioanrede = new Spry.Widget.ValidationRadio("spryradioanrede", {isRequired:true, validateOn:["change,blur"]});
       var sprytextfieldvorname = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfieldvorname", "none", {isRequired:true, validateOn:["change,blur"]});

       var sprytextfieldausweisnummer = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfieldausweisnummer", "none", {validation:isValididentitycard, validateOn:["blur"]});
       var sprytextfieldstaatsangehoerigkeit = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfieldstaatsangehoerigkeit", "none", {isRequired:true, validateOn:["change,blur"]});
       var spryselectfieldtag = new Spry.Widget.ValidationSelect("spryselectfieldtag", {isRequired:true, validateOn:["change,blur"]});
       var spryselectfieldmonat = new Spry.Widget.ValidationSelect("spryselectfieldmonat", {isRequired:true, validateOn:["change,blur"]});
       var spryselectfieldjahr = new Spry.Widget.ValidationSelect("spryselectfieldjahr", {isRequired:true, validateOn:["change,blur"]});
When loading the page an error in Internet Explorer 8 occures:

When loading the page the first time it's not a big problem. But when the users enters some unvalid data the page lodes again and in the onload section from the body the function validateall is startet.

                status += sprytextfieldvorwahl.validate();
                status += sprytextfieldrufnummer.validate();
                status += sprytextfieldausweisnummer.validate();
                status += sprytextfieldstaatsangehoerigkeit.validate();
                status += spryselectfieldtag.validate();
                status += spryselectfieldmonat.validate();
                status += spryselectfieldjahr.validate();
                if (status < 15) {
                    return 0;
                } else {
                    return 1;
The error occurs again and the validation is not yet done. Which means, that the fields with problems will not be marked. When entering the field afterward and changing or blur everything works ok and the field is marked in red. Only the onload is not working.
Any ideas, what the problem is?
Thank
Michael

It seems to be an Error in Spry,
Open the SpryValidationTextField.js
find:
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField.prototype.reset = function() {
     this.removeHint();
     this.oldValue = this.input.defaultValue;
     this.resetClasses();
     if (Spry.is.ie) {
          //this will fire the onpropertychange event right after the className changed on the container element
          //IE6 will not fire the first onpropertychange on an input type text after a onreset handler if inside that handler the className of one of the elements inside the form has been changed
          //to reproduce: change the className of one of the elements inside the form from within the onreset handler; then the onpropertychange does not fire the first time
          this.input.forceFireFirstOnPropertyChange = true;
          this.input.removeAttribute("forceFireFirstOnPropertyChange");
     var self = this;
     setTimeout(function() {self.putHint();}, 10);
and replace with:
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField.prototype.reset = function() {
     this.removeHint();
     this.oldValue = this.input && this.input.defaultValue ? this.input.defaultValue : "";
     this.resetClasses();
     if (Spry.is.ie) {
          //this will fire the onpropertychange event right after the className changed on the container element
          //IE6 will not fire the first onpropertychange on an input type text after a onreset handler if inside that handler the className of one of the elements inside the form has been changed
          //to reproduce: change the className of one of the elements inside the form from within the onreset handler; then the onpropertychange does not fire the first time
          this.input.forceFireFirstOnPropertyChange = true;
          this.input.removeAttribute("forceFireFirstOnPropertyChange");
     var self = this;
     setTimeout(function() {self.putHint();}, 10);

Menu problem in Internet Explorer

I am having a problem with a Spry menu in Internet Explorer 9 and 8. Using Dreamweaver CS5.5 I have set up a horizontal menu bar and in all the browsers that I have tested it on it works fine on both a Mac and a PC, until I try Internet Explorer. When the file is stored locally and I view it (with Parallels Desktop) in IE instead of seeing the menu I see a large light green box that covers not only the menu area but the surrounding area too. I thought the problem might be with Parallels Desktop so I put the site online and now the green box is gone, but instead of the menu being displayed across the page it is in the centre of the page and vertical. Can anyone shed some light on this for me please?
The pages can be seen here: <http://www.colinbowling.com/ss/index.html>
Thanks
Colin.
