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 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.

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 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 perfect on Mac, screwy on PC

I created a Spry Horizontal menu for http://www.ljwdesign.com/clients/TotalFab.
The only edit I made to http://www.ljwdesign.com/clients/TotalFab/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css was to add the positioning of the <div> container that holds the menu. You'll see it as the first thing in the CSS document. I left the rest of the code exactly the way Dreamweaver created it.
My main CSS file is http://www.ljwdesign.com/clients/TotalFab/css/mainstyle.css but there is nothing in that file that styles the Spry menu.
In Firefox and Safari on my Mac, it works EXACTLY as expected - exactly how I want it to work.
In IE 6, forget it - doesn't work, but I don't care at the moment.
In IE 7, the drop-downs won't go past the bottom of the table cell the menu is in. Also, once you mouseover then mouseout of any of the top level menu items (there are three), the text for the other two disappears until you mouseover them again.
In Chrome and Firefox, the menus drop just fine and the text stays visible, but the longest of the three drop-downs (the gallery) disappears behind the Flash object below the menu. This does not happen in any Mac browsers.
I've tried playing with z-index everywhere, but nothing helps. I even increased the z-indexes in the Spry CSS file to 9999; didn't make a darn bit of difference.
If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd really appreciate the heads up. Until I get this working in all the above-mentioned IE browsers, I don't dare touch the CSS code to make it match the rest of the site stylistically. Thanks!

There's been a recent post and solution to menus that drop below Flash, just in the last two days.
I'll see if I can find it for you. Here it is: http://forums.adobe.com/message/261033#261033

Complete page and css code below (scroll down)
All you should be concerned with at this moment to get the background image to appear in the top level anchor is the css style below:
/* Menu items that have a submenu have the class designation MenuBarItemSubmenu and are set to use a background image positioned on the far left (95%) and centered vertically (50%) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenu
background-color: #000;
background-image: url(../rot.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
I've added the background-postion because presumably you want it to appear flush left. This overides the out-of-the-box setting which positions it 95% far left.
Here is the code and css:

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.

My Spry Horizontal Menu doesn't work

I created my Spry horizontal menu and tried it in preview browser and it doesn't work. I published the site to see if it check didn't work in preview mode and it REALLY doesn't work.
I'm sure it's something simple that I am just missing, but what I don't know. I have attached the css style sheet as I did change the spacing and colors.
Is it something I could be missing on the individual pages and linking there?
I apologize for being dumb, but I am a newbie to this and the tutorials I took don't go into detail about linking other than to explain the linking from your index page. Is there more linking that I need to do?
Here is the menu and I did place it in it's own div tag.
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
    <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Bar Code Products</a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Bar Code Scanners</a>
          <ul>
            <li><a href="scanGen.html">General Purpose</a></li>
            <li><a href="scanInd.html">Industrial</a></li>
          </ul>
        </li>
        <li><a href="software.html">Bar Code Software</a></li>
        <li><a href="verifier.html">Bar Code Verifiers</a></li>
        <li><a href="media.html">Media Supplies</a></li>
        <li><a href="printer.html">Printers</a></li>
        <li><a href="solution.html">Software Solutions</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li><a href="consult.html">Consulting</a></li>
    <li><a href="contact.html">Contacts</a></li>
    </ul>
I thought that was all there was to it.
What am I missing. I can link to one page, but have to click on the back button to view any other page and keep repeating that process to view all the pages.
Boy do I feel stupid.
Any help would be appreciated. Needless to say I republished my friends old site because of functionality. But I'd really like to get this one working for him.
Thanks in advance.
Oops

NEVER MIND. What an idiot. I never copied the linked menu bar into the other pages. My stupid.
Thanks and sorry to waste your time.

Spry horizontal menu: submenu background problem in IE7

Hello,
I am using the Spry horizontal menu in this website: http://www.isis-papyrus.com
It works perfectly on all current version browsers, but in IE7 the white submenu background only shows behind the actual text for each link and not to the border of the submenu box.
I modified the css to allow for dynamic sizing for each submenu (see below).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Best, Oliver

Thank you so much for your quick answer Beth!
You solved half my problem!
I added the bg-color to the li and ul styles of the submenus (css below) and now the white background shows correctly in IE7.
The only thing I still would like to resolve: The hover style for the menu items (inverse bg and text colors) only works for the actual text of the link and not for the entire width of the submenu box.
Any suggestions?
Thank you again.
Best, Oliver

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.
http://www.monicagraphicdesign.com/Bill/spiritual.html
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 straddles header

Problem: Spry Horizontal Menu straddles header
I created a new page using
"1 column elastic, centered, header and footer"
I add a Spry Horizontal Menu within the "header" div.
The menu does not display entirely within the grey header
area.
The menu straddles half in the header and half below the
header.
I believe this is because of the float i.e.
"ul.MenuBarHorizontal li" has "float: left;".
How do I make the menu stay entirely within the grey header
content area?
Thanks ahead of time.
<div id="header">
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
<li><a href="#">Home</a> </li>
<li><a href="#">People</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
.oneColElsCtrHdr #header {
background: #DDDDDD;
padding: 10px;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
position: relative;
text-align: left;
cursor: pointer;
width: auto;
float: left;

Hi,
The original CSS has been very carefully composed so that it will work in all browsers. If you make any changes to the original and you do not know what you are doing, you are asking for problems.
When I look at your first set of rules and I see the following marked in red and a rules marked in green that are left out, then I know you will have a problem:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 100%;
    cursor: default;
    width: auto;
    background-image: url(myImage.jpg); // rename the image to your own
    background-repeat: repeat;
    vertical-align: bottom;
    float: none;
    position: absolute;
    margin: auto;
Keep in mind that the original stylesheet has no browser issues. Any changes that you make are for your account and have basically nothing to do with Spry.
My suggestion to you is, make a copy of the modified stylesheet for reference, then put back the original stylesheet. Consequently, make a new stylesheet called myStyles.css or similar, and put your changed rules in the newly created stylesheet eg.
ul.MenuBarHorizontal
     background-image: url(myImage.jpg);
     background-repeat: repeat;
Then attach this stylesheet to your document after the original stylesheet.
If you cannot get the required result, merely play around with the rules within myStyles.css.
I hope this helps.

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 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.

Another SPRY horizontal menu problem with IE7

I posted this before, with no responses, but I think
I've narrowed it down to a CSS response problem with IE7.0. If you
view the attached link in Firefox or Opera, the menu background
color responds correctly on the drop downs. In IE7, the
background-color is ignored, causing the menu to be translucent
and, uh, ugly. Has anyone else had an issue with the
background-color CSS attribute in the SPRY horizontal menu css not
working?
HELLLLLP! and, uh, Thanks,
Karl

Regrettably, the silence from the forum has been deafening.
I'm not sure if folks are just wary of SPRY and AJAX issues right
now because they're so new or if it's the summer heat

guess it´s all of that :-) But folks visiting these more
"general" Dreamweaver forums are not necessarily Spry experts
respectively might not even be interested in that -- you´ll
certainly get more response when posting Spry related questions in
the
Spry
forums @ Adobe Labs
