Spry horizontal menu goes wrong in Internet Explorer

I have designed the start of a site and the client is pleased, except that for some reason the Spry menu goes bananas in Internet Explorer 8. I have checked it in Safari, Opera, Firefox and Chrome and it looks fine. Earlier in the design process I was having some issues with a gap at the end of the horizontal menu, but with persistance I managed to cure this. According to DreamWeaver there is an issue with line 70 of the CSS file :-
#footer {
    font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    font-size: 16px;
    color: #FDCB00;
    background-color: #333;
    height: 30px;
    width: 900px;
    position: fixed;
    bottom: 0px;
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 9px;
    letter-spacing: .3em;
    border-top-width: thin;
    border-top-style: ridge;
    border-top-color: #999;
....   but I can't see what is wrong with this. This relates to the footer which ironically behaves fine. I have just upgrade IE8 to IE9, but this hasn't helped.
I am fairly desperate to finish this site but can't until I find what is wrong. I've not seen this problem before and the DW diagnosis isn't helping me.
Here's a link http://www.tattoo-bristol.co.uk/
Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Have a look at the following piece of code in your modified CSS file
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.MenuBarHorizontal iframe
    position: absolute;
    z-index: 1010;
    filter:alpha(opacity:0.1);
    background-color: #000;
/* HACK FOR IE: to stabilize appearance of menu items; the slash in float is to keep IE 5.0 from parsing */
@media screen, projection
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE
    display: inline;
    f\loat: none;
    background-color: #F00;
You have changed the latter two highlighted lines, which you must have done because you felt that you are an expert.
Sorry to disappoint, because the last highlighted line is where the problem lies. If you replace the f/loat value back to the original left, your problem will have disappeared.

Spry Menu going wrong in Internet Explorer

Hi all,
I'm new to these forums, and new to web design. I added a horizontal spry menu in for my dads art website, it worked fine in Firefox 3.6 and Google Chrome, but Internet Explorer 7 or 8, I'm not sure which version, a recent one anyway. The menu goes completely wrong, they stay the color they are supposed to be, but the buttons all shift around and I'm not too sure what to do about this.

If people could take a look and leave me some suggestions, that would be great cheers.

Add the following style rules, making sure that they are loaded after SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css as shown
<link href="SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">
ul.MenuBarHorizontal {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 100%;
    cursor: default;
    width: auto;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
    width: 16.6%;
@media screen, projection
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE
    f\loat: left;
</style>
I hope this helps.

Thanks For Your Reply.

Spry Horizontal Menu going behind Div in IE

I'm having an issue with spry in dw 3. I've inserted a
horizontal menu with submenus that run vertically, nothing fancy.
In firefox and opera the menus float on top of the div underneath
just fine, however in IE the submenus go behind the div below the
menu. I've updated to 1.6.1 spry and have inserted the fix for IE
to make the submenus view horizontally as opposed to vertical. Your
thoughts are appreciated.

I'm having a similar issue in IE7 in that my
Spry submenus drop down behind the tabs in
the Spry tabbed panels div I created following my navigation div. Any help out there?
Thanks!

Spry horizontal menu goes vertical in IE6

My site is still incomplete but I was testing the basic
layout on different browsers, and found that my horizontal Spry
menu bar at the bottom of the page goes vertical in IE6 (but not in
any other browser I tested). Any thoughts why this could be? The
page is
here.
On an unrelated note, the left sidebar does not reach all the
way to the footer in any browser that is not IE. 90% of my traffic
is from people using IE, but I'd like to fix it if possible. I
tried using a javascript workaround to making equal length columns
with CSS that I found on these forums, but could not get it to work
right across all browsers, so decided to just make fixed-length
side columns instead. Any help on either problem would be
appreciated!!

Spry Horizontal Menu not displayed correctly in Internet Explorer 6

Hello to everyone. I'm creating a website using David's tutorial. My Spry Horizontal Menu is correctly shown in Dreamweaver Live View, Firefox10 but not in IE6. It happears at the bottom of the page. Any advise? Thanks much in advance. Cecilia

Hello Cecilia,
please have a look here: http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser_version-ww-monthly-201201-201202-bar where you can see that this browser (IE6 ) is no longer in use and might not be used anywhere anymore.
And so you should not worry about this. But if it does please send a link to your website in question.
... and what's about the newer IE?

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 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

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 Menu Submenus Won't Appear - Help

OK, I have a Spry Horizontal Menu Bar done through DW CS5. The root menu items work just fine. And the arrow graphics indicating there are submenus are shown, however when you hover over the main menu item the submenus do not appear in browser preview. The spry menu bar is located in the header div above a main content div and a sidebar div (two column layout). Interestingly enough if I drop a new menu bar in the main content div with sample submenus it works fine, so the css file must be ok because they both read off the same css file.
My only assumption is there is something in the header code which conflicts with the submenus and is not allowing the submenus to appear. Unfortunately I can't post it only in a test location as I am reworking an existing website and when I post the new css file it will obviously change the existing website.
But here is some of the relevant code. First the HTML for the section in question.
I very much appeciate any advice.

Move the constructor for the menu bar up to read as follows
<script type="text/javascript">

Spry Horizontal Menu is Vertical

I installed a Spry Horizontal Menu Bar on one of my clients
web pages and everything was going fine.
But then all of a sudden the horizontal menu switched to
vertical and I can't figure out how to undo this.
At this point even when I ask DW to insert a Spry horizontal
menu bar onto a new page, it inserts a vertical one!
Did I mess up the .css somehow?
Thanks!
Greg in New Orleans

Try making one on a fresh page. When you select the Spry
Menu, you are
asked if it's vertical or horizontal and then tells you it
will copy files
and you click okay.
Does your page use the SpryHorizontalMenu.css page? Could you
maybe be
using the wrong one?
If you still can't get it, could you post a link to your
page?

Spry horizontal menu becomes vertical menu

In IE my spry horizontal menu becomes vertical but is
stretched to the same width as the horizontal menu is suppose to
be? Any ideas?

If horizontal is turning vertical, I have a feeling what is happening is that when you publish it, it's not connected to any style sheet -- or you have the style sheets in the wrong order.
Remember, with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) the last stylesheet trumps the earlier one. That's perfectly OK if there are no conflicts, but there may be some that can cause problems.
Thus, you'd be looking for:
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="navigation.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
If navigation.css is first, styles.css may be rewriting your styles for your spry navigation.
Now, I'm going to throw you a curve. Spry has been discontinued and it "going away." I recommend you learn how to make your own navigation and Spry is usually used for drop-down navigation. You can do that in straight HTML and CSS.
Take a look at my last reply in this forum discussion for a bunch of pretty cool "do it yourself" navigation tutorials.

Spry Horizontal Menu problem in IE

I am a new Dreamweaver user and utilized the Spry horizontal
menu in a site that I am redesigning. The menus look great in
firefox, but do not load properly in internet explorer. I am hoping
to be able to resolve this problem as the menus look so good in
firefox.
You can view the page at

Hi clead16,
What do you mean by "do not load properly in internet
explorer"? I checked the site in IE6 and IE7 and it the menus
render OK.
You may want to also take a look at the

Spry horizontal menu- not showing in some browsers

my spry horizontal menu is showing up as a vertical list in
some of our viewers computers. can i adjust the basic html so that
if spry does not show up on someone's computer, a more basic
horizontal table will show?

Thank you all for the answers.
Can pop menu magic work with image maps?
Back in the day I created several drop down menus in Dreamweaver CS2 by adding behaviors to image maps. I liked that I pretty much could drop a menu from any point on an image.
Example: http://www.bettendorfdental.com/
So I have been going back to my old laptop and CS2 every time I needed to change something in these menus, but that was very inefficient.
My client wants the top banner to be in one image, with customized buttons that share the background of the logo and business name.
I have been customizing the topaz template in pop up magic but what the client reallly wants is to have the tab images as part of the larger image. So ideally there wouldn't be any text in the top menu and only the drop down part would show up.

For people like me, who do not write or understand code, even searching a knowledge base can be a challenge because we do no know what to type in the search box! I am glad to learn Project Seven offers one on one support.
Another challenge is that the client manages his own site and uses Front Page on a PC (and I have neither) so I don't even know if he can attach the stylesheets to every page where he inserts the menu.

Spry Horizontal Menu causing site not to load using Firefox and Maverick OSX 10.9.2

Why does Spry Horizontal Menu cause site not to load using Firefox and Maverick OSX 10.9.2?

Your code is terribly malformed.
There are multiple body tags & erroneous tags that overlap your <head> and other content tags. Get those fixed first.
And you also have more than 1 doctype definition in the wrong place.
If my assumption is correct, I think each include file you're using has its own doctype, body, html & head definitions causing final PHP to render all these on your output page.
Run your site through W3 validator like Jon suggested earlier: [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.ambppct.org/ - W3C Markup Validator
Fix those and you should be good.

Firefox 4 takes a long time to startup at this point i am thinking about going back to internet explorer as my default browser. what is going on??

Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable "'''My Web Search'''". This is adware which runs in the background and spends its time trawling the web searching for ads to feed you.
Also, something shows in your system details with the number '''2,5,3,1 '''. Can you tell me what that is please? It's located in the same Plugins menu.
Similarly, I see three versions of Veetle. Disable the older ones if you don't need them.
On the security side, your Flash player is out of date and exposes your system to exploits. See: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-12.html (Update link near the foot of the page).
If the problem persists, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
