Spry Drop Down menu issue in IE

I created a menu bar with Spry and it works fine in Firefox
but playing up in IE. The drop down menu starts displaying from the
top of the page and not where the menu bar is. I have never come
across this issue with Spry and cannot figure out whats wrong. the
page is www.cerdomustile.com.au/new if you want to have a look. the
Spry code is:

No one has any ideas? Someone had mentioned to me that it was
some hybrid code that would have to be inserted to make IE read
differently that Safari, Firefox. Not sure how to go about finding
the code I'd need, though.
Thanks in advance,

  • DW CS4 Horizontal Spry drop down menu not displaying correctly in Internet Explorer 8

    Hi,
    I have created a horizontal Spry drop down menu in Dreamweaver CS4 with my own background images. I have done various modifications to the CSS script to accommodate the style and feel needed; including making the main buttons' height twice the size of the sub menu buttons and some alignments. It seems to work different depending which browser is used.
    It works well in Google Chrome.
    It works well in Firefox with the exception that if any of the buttons are clicked, thereafter a thin black line is diplayed horizontally across center of the top main buttons when the mouse rolls over them. I would like to correct this but is not nearly as bad as the problem I'm having in Internet Explorer 8.
    Here is my biggest concern and I would greatly appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this matter.
    Once opened in Internet Explorer 8 the main navigation buttons appear as they should. IE8 prompts me the following: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options..". Once I allow IE8 to run scripts or ActiveX controls, the background image disappears and only shows on any menu or submenu button when the mouse rolls over that particular button. Can someone please help.
    The menu can be seen at work by clicking on this link:
    www.bargainxchange.com/BXC Main Navigation Spry Drop Menu.html
    Below are all the scrips involved.
    Here is the CSS script named "SpryMenuBarHorizontal4.css" in use :

    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.

    Hello Nancy,
    I was troubleshooting For the next 8 hours after my post here and eventually I got it right, I uploaded the files to the test server and at the time did not have the chance to post the solution here. This is why, as you saw, it is working correctly now.  Both the CSS and HTML files needed modifications. While working on the code I had to run IE8, Chrome and Firefox simultaneously and refresh all three after every change in the code because what would fix the problem in one would cause a problem for the other.
    In addition to the problems listed in my original post, there were also other graphical issues in IE8, such as; the main menu buttons without sub-menus would only display at half their size vertically. The border around the buttons would not display despite that the background images were rendered in Photoshop as flattened JPEGs with boarders as part of the background image. Being so, I removed all borders from the CSS script.
    By the way.. the IE8 security measure did pop up while working from the server.
    Anyhow for those of you who are experiencing similar problems you can take a look at the working code bellow and compare it to the initial code. I've included detail comments on every line I have changed, modified or added.
    Good luck.. as I know it can become a complicated task when creating custom Spry menus.

  • Spry drop down menu not working after page created from template

    Hi all.
    I created a template and the drop down Spry menu is working fine on local testing on my browser as follows:
    I then created a New Page from this above Template. I did no alteration to this new page and just saved it as index.html but when previewing it in the browser, the Spry drop down menu is not working and the page displays as follows:
    Here is my site map:
    Any help to show where I am going wrong would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Dear Nancy 
    Very grateful for your reply. 
    On Design View and Preview in browsers the index.dwt page spry works fine.
    When I create a child page from this template page, the child page looks fine in design view but does the spry fails to preview in browsers (the spry just shows as words and not drop down menus). 
    Here is the code:

  • Double horizontal spry drop down menu bar problems

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm new to the spry tools and I need a little help. This is what I'm trying to accomplish in Dreamweaver CS4:
    I need 2 horizontal spry menu bars for navigation. I have created a div for each spry tool, 1 div placed above the other and they cross the entire width of the page. I have created the spry menu bars. Everything seems to be working correctly in both menu bars, That is until you open the IE browser, all other browsers tested fine. The problem is that when you hover over the bottom menu bar in IE, the drop down menu does not drop all the way down. The first submenu of the drop down menu covers the main menu bar. I have tried to change the css for the spry menu bar at the ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE to show the display: as inline and also tried block and niether had any effect. Someone please help. Thanks.
                        css spry drop down menu 1

  • Spry drop down menu not lining up

    I'm using a Spry drop down menu across the top of my webpage but can't seem to get all the boxes to line up.
    For example, my menu bar currently looks somewhat like this:
    Home     About     Staff    
                                            Links
    All of the boxes are are part of the same spry menu, so I don't understand why this is happening.
    This happens in design view, live view, and once I push it to the internet. I've checked the padding on each box and they are all equal. I'm lost as to where else to check.
    Any Suggestions?

    Please post a link to the website so we can view the site in our browsers and offer suggestions.

  • Spry Drop down menu disappearing behind flash mov

    Hi Can someone help? I have a spry drop down menu that appears fine in IE but in firefox it disappears behind my flash movie! it appears fine if there is just a image. Any ideas?

    This is the wrong part of the forum for this type of problem, and it may be better if you post this type of question (or most questions), to the dreamweaver section.
    That said check your position: absolute: statments in your css, as this is often the cause.

    Looks like someone responded to this in another forum. Please
    do not post in multiple forums as it makes it harder for folks to
    be able to find where the question may be answered, especially
    don't post in forums like this one that are not focused on the
    topic of your question.
    FYI: Spry questions can also be asked in the Spry forums:

  • Need help formatting Spry drop down menu

    FYI, I'm using CS3 on a Mac.
    I'm working on a full CSS layout of a page in a site. OK, not
    full CSS, I have a table controlling the text in the main content
    area. I need a drop down menu for this page, so I inserted a spry
    menu bar for the page navigation. *phew*! The learning curve on
    that is killing me! :) Just trying to get the menu items spread out
    ("full justify") has take me forever. I'm still having some major
    issues.
    Can someone tell me which styles to adjust to fix the things
    below? I think I have fixed most of it, but can't figure out these
    items:
    1. I want the sub menu items to have normal font weight (but
    the main menu items should remain "bold"
    2. I want the sub menu items' background to extend at least
    past the end of the item. With some of the longer items, the
    background is cut off.
    3. I want the border back around the sub menu items. It was
    there originally, but I some how removed it and can't get it back.
    I don't want a border around the main menu items.
    4.
    Most importantly! The sub menu items don't line up
    vertically in IE on my PC. They fall into several horizontal rows
    that run off the side of the page - almost impossible to use!
    5. Oh, and I almost forgot, the submenu is now showing up all
    the way on the left side of the page. It should be directly below
    the "Participating Farms" link.
    This is the page:

    Thank you!

    Can anyone tell me if this is the right place for this
    thread?
    Thanks,

  • 3 drop down menu issues

    I have two issues here. www.newstribune.com. I know some of
    this may be css issues, but I am aweful with css and could use a
    cheat sheet for the css that dreamweaver makes for these drop down
    menus, so I know what controls what...
    ok..
    IE 6.0 will scroll out the drop down menu options but will
    not allow the click... any ideas?
    IE 7.0 renders the drop down menu's properly, but my front
    page (and front page only) in firefox, the drop downs are off set.
    I have no idea why...
    Please not that the drop downs were made into an include and
    are rendered on all the pages. (It is a process so, you may find
    some pages that don't have the new drop downs if you poke around a
    lot.)
    lastly, if anyone knows what code I should strip out of the
    drop down menu include in order to not cause the errors but still
    allow it to be opened in Dreamweaver, can you please let me know?
    If that is not possible, what should I remove? The entire code is
    below.

    hello, thanks for reporting. hopefully it will help other affected users finding a solution too...

  • Spry: Drop Down Menu

    Hello, I was wondering if someone can help me with the
    following...
    In the Spry Photo Gallery, I would like the drop down menu to
    swap an image (not the main image from the slide show, but rather a
    separate image elsewhere on the page) for another, so the result
    would be for each View in the drop down, there would be an
    associated image that displays on the page.
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Sal

    Actually I figured it out.
    I simply added a new tag to the galleries.xml file called
    <where></where>
    <galleries>
    <gallery base="vulcano/" file="photos.xml">
    <sitename></sitename>
    <photographer></photographer>
    <contactinfo></contactinfo>
    <email></email>
    <security><![CDATA[]]> </security>
    <locationinfo></locationinfo>
    <where></where>
    </gallery>
    </galleries>
    And in the photos.xml file I place the path to the file name
    inside the <where> tag
    <gallery
    base = ""
    background = "#FFFFFF"
    banner = "#F0F0F0"
    text = "#000000"
    link = "#0000FF"
    alink = "#FF0000"
    vlink = "#800080"
    date = "2/7/2007">
    <sitename></sitename>
    <photographer></photographer>
    <contactinfo></contactinfo>
    <email></email>
    <security><![CDATA[]]> </security>
    <locationinfo></locationinfo>
    <where>images/filename.jpg</where>
    And then in the HTML file I added the following to hold my
    image
    <div spry:region="dsGallery"><img
    src="{where}"></div>

  • Responsive Drop Down Menu Issues

    I'm having a few issues with my responsive drop down menu.  I'm trying to make one row with 2 separate menus that show up next to each other.  The left side is general a menu and the right side is social media links.  I have them functioning with 2 major issues.  First, I can't seem to get my background (black) go across the entire page.  It stops between the 2 menus.  Second, When I shrink down to a phone size browser and replace the menu with a drop down menu, my images (I'm using images instead of text so that I can use a specific font) expand to fit the space.  I want them all to show up as the proper size and want the drop down menu to be right next to the social media links.  Here's a link to the page so you can see what I am talking about.  My HTML and CSS are below.  Thanks.

  • How to Make a Non-Spry Drop Down Menu Bar?

    In Dreamweaver CS6, I'm building a Fluid Grid website. I'm trying to make a simple menu bar with 2 submenu items and 2 subsubmenu items. I was using Spry but found out that Spry is dead. So what do I use instead?

    First of all, if you are in a hurry, Project VII's Pop Menu Magic 3 is a great choice. Since it's a Dreamweaver plugin, making navigation is a snap. Just click on the PMM icon and start making.
    One does not need CSS3 for a drop-down menu structure—the necessary requirement to talk to a web browser is in CSS2. Also you do not need to load your website with jQuery—though I don't want to come across as "anti-jQuery."
    Here is a link to a complete tutorial on pure CSS drop-down navigation. There are dozens of others.
    The real secret is using position:relative, then position:absolute for the drop-down and hiding it by positioning it off-screen when not in use. This tutorial also uses some CSS3 for tablets and cell phones, though it is not required for desktops.
    You can take this a step further by hiding the entire navigation structure (and then revealing it) for cell phones with this tutorial. This will allow you to construct navigation for your website so that it will work for all devices.
    Please note, no jQuery is necessary in either of these tutorials.

  • Can spry drop down menu 2 be updated throughout a site

    Was wondering if I could update the drop down menu and have it update automatically all other pages that use the menu in a site?
    I looked thru the writeup on V2 and wasn't able to understand the last section on using it in a site. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spry_menu_bar.html#g
    SH

    The version is not an issue.
    Site wide update is possible only if menu code is situated in a DW template or a Server Side File.
    If not, put the (updated) menu code in a remote "include" file, named menu.inc
    Then replace the old menu code on all pages with a PHP tag calling for the include file.
    <?php require_once("menu.inc"); ?>
    (Check to be sure your Hosting provider supports PHP)
    All future updates will then only involve editing the include file, and all pages will automatically update.

  • Drop down menu issue

    Anyone help me out on this issue. I have a drop down menu
    that let's you select an option in it and then loads the other
    page. Except it is now not working.
    What I want to do is put it over an image and so I tried to
    do the draw layer option and I put the drop down the layer but it
    will not work.
    It does work if I put it on the bottom of the page below the
    image, but I need it to lay over the top of the jpeg image. How do
    I do this?
    I am using Dreamweaver MX Version 6
    Please someone help.
    Thanks

    All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
    to speak,
    including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
    Active X controls.
    This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
    is not a good
    cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
    if you can be
    confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
    use the Flash
    wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
    properly!).
