Spry Horizontal menu using rollover images

I see there are a lot of posts about spry menus and problems in IE. I wasnt sure if my problem is the same as the others, so my apologies if it's redundant. I'm working on a site with rollover images in the top menu of a spry menu bar with drop downs that fall below three of the menu items. Everything looks good in Mac/Win Firefox and Mac Safari. In Win IE 8 the menus go horizontally, left to right, instead of falling below the top level item as they should.
The site is here: http://tinyurl.com/y8dxo8m
The Spry CSS is here: http://tinyurl.com/yd8yhem
Should I not be using rollover images with the Spry menu? I've spent quite a bit of time on trying to solve this, including attempting to rebuild the menu from scratch.

I Paty, I just inserted the Dreamweaver rollover into the navigation. I'm not sure if that's the best approach to achieve what i wanted out of my design, but it seems to work. I checked it in Adobe's Browserlab and it works across all browsers. I'm looking into purchasing the Project7 product. It's not a lot of money and seems easier to work with for embedded graphics than the spry software. I spent way too much time with the spry trying to get the nav to look like I wanted it to while working in all browsers.

Horizontal Menu Bar Rollover image

I have been slowly piecing together some Horizontal Menu Bars
by learning from the code on this page...
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/MenuBarSample.html
keeping that in mind my code is probably wrong in a number of
ways. The problem that I have run into and cant seem to solve on my
own is that I want one of my Horizontal Menu bars to have rollover
images only on the primary level. If you follow the link below you
can see what I have done thus far. The "tabs" are images and I want
them to rollover to another image, which is just the same tab in a
darker shade of grey. The tabbed menu bar is labeled MenuBar2 in
the code
http://www.du.edu/~dborges/test1.html
The other problem I’ve been having with both menu bars
is the way they appear in IE... it looks great in everything else.

Hi Beth, I have been going crazy on this end with the Sub Menus showing up at the top of the Internet Explorer Browser. They work fine in FF and Chrome...
I have CS4 and tried reading everything possible.... here is my page. I am normally pretty good at resolving these issues but I'm going nuts.. ha!

Spry Horizontal Menu Bar background image IE8 not visible.

I have a slight problem with a horizontal menu bar that I have placed on my site and am hoping someone can help me. It views fine in Firefox, however in IE8 the top menu background image is white instead of the image I specified. Firefox image is below.
Below is IE8 image lacking top menu background:
I am a novice and this is driving me nuts. How can something view fine in Firefox and loose the image in IE explorer? I must have a code incorrect, I know it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

At the bottom of SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, you will find

Change the background colour to transparent and all is well.

Spry Horizontal Menu Bar background image

Hello,
I am trying to insert a .gif file into the background of the
spry menu bar items, I believe the default was grey.
I changed it to dark grey and it worked fine but then I
decided it would look better with an image in it.
Therefore I created a .gif image that fit the menu and
inserted it into the css page for the spry menu.
However, this creates the drop down (sub) menus to be
transparent. This does not happen when I change the background back
to just a solid color. Is there a way around this?
The code that I entered was something like this:
.(other style codes)
background-color="#EC0000" url="images/image09" repeat-x;
thanx

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.

Cell column width using spry horizontal menu

Hi
Trying to set the cell column width using DWCS5.5 Spry Horizontal menu.
view-source:http://www.roatan.ws/spry-menu-bob
I used help to get directions and I think I did it correctly but I do not know for sure.
/* Menu item containers are same fixed width as parent */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li
          background-color: #356A68;
          float: none;
          background-color:transparent;
          height: auto;
          width: auto;
Trying to clean up my site and get things working an looking right.
Any suggestions appreciated
bob

Spry menus do not contain any table columns or cells.    They are just lists <ul> <li> tags styled with CSS.
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 12px;
    position: relative;
    text-align: center;
    cursor: pointer;
    width: 8em; /**adjust top-menu width**/
    float: left;
    text-decoration: underline;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;

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.

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 horizontal menu problem in IE and Chrome

First I'd like to express my frustration with spry. I spend way too much time trying to "band-aid" spry to work in different browers. I'll admit that I'm new to the web game but I seem to spend a large percentage of my time simply trying different "fixes" to something that I don't think should be this much of a problem. Regardless ...
I've made a pretty simple web page, put a spry horizontal menu on it and it works and displays just like it's supposed to in FF but IE and Chrome both seem to have a problem with it. Currently there are no links attached to it but that's not my problem - getting it to display correctly is. Possibly this issuehas already been addressed but I couldn't find it in the forum. Webpage can be viewed here
I've put (what I believe to be) the relevant css on the Main Content section of the page. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am so glad that you started again, this is the best way to learn, trial and error.
To fix your woes to date, have a look at the following
.thrColFixHdr #header {padding:0;} /*remove the padding from the menubar container*/
ul.MenuBarHorizontal{width:auto;margin:0;} /*remove the fixed width and auto margin*/
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li{width:16.6667%;} /*spread the 6 items over the full width 6*16.6667% = 100%*/
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul a{text-align:left;} /*Set the the alignment back to left for any menu item links that are in a sub menu*/
To add images to your menu items have a look at the following http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/MenuBarSample.html, you will find it at the bottom of the page.
I did not realise that SolidWorks still existed, started using it in the mid 1990's, excellent product, easy to use and promotes fast product development. I lost track of it when I went for retirement 10 years ago.

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.

Now the CSS for the menu bar:

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

Spry horizontal menu's not displaying right in IE9

Presently I'm using Dreamweaver CS4. I have built a web site and placed a horizontal spry menu at the top of the web page. It is situated on the page just below a smaller non-spry horizontal menu.    In IE9, the menu appears above and to the right of this smaller menu rather than in the location I want it to appear. What's more, in Dreamweaver the menu seems to float the upper right of the screen (I've attached a screen shot).   When I review the web site in IE 7, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari, the menu is correctly placed.
Can anyone help solve this issue? When I view the web page in IE9 and put it into IE7 mode, all is well. Not so in IE9 (or IE8 for that matter).
I'd appreciate direct email as well as answering it here to help others with my quandry. My direct email address:   [email protected].
Thank you!
This image shows you where the menu appears in Dreamweaver AND in IE9
This image shows you where the menu correctly displays in IE 7 (standard mode), Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari.
The smaller navigation you see "Subscribe to Alerts" etc is controlled by the following code:
#secondarynav {

The entire page including these menus sits in a container (My Code):

I'm not sure where you attached files (I have not seen a way to do that in the Forum), But I will try to speak generally and work with what you have posted.
My suspicion is that the negative top margin you have applied is messing things up a bit.
I also note that it is usually better to apply margins to a CONTAINER of an unordered list (which is what menus are made of), than to apply the margins to the ul itself. So, restore the margin: 0; to the ul.MenuBarHorizontal style selector and create an enclosing element that bears the margin:-45px 0px 0px 200px; though I would still reconsider the use of negative top margin.
It is entirely possible that this simple change will help.
Please post the HTML for the top of the <body> section, including the menu code.

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 VERY SLOW

I have a fairly simple spry horizontal menu that runs too slow.
I am using a background image for the drop down wrapper. This doesn't seem to be the problem. There is no change when I use a solid background.
The rest of the javascript on the page is not the problem either as I have commented it out and the problem still exists.
I greatly appreciate your help in this matter.
Here is the url.
http://redline-test.com/bh/bhtesting/index.php

I cannot seem to find any reason for the slow menu. Seems to be running fine for me with Safari, Chrome and Firefox. You have 2 code errors in the head next to your final 2 meta tags not using a proper ending tag : showing ">" instead of "/>".
Is this happening with a specific browser, version, os? Also if you are using CS4/CS5 have you considered trying the SpryMenuBar 2.0 code found in the Widget Browser?

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>

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%;

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 List Items crash IE6 browser

****Update*****
Apparently, it was width:100%; set on each hover over
background color for the list items in our default stylesheet that
was causing IE6 to crash.
Menus are in working order in all browsers now!
We have integrated the Spry Horizontal Menu with a website,
and added custom styling to SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css. The menu
works in Mozilla, Safari, and IE7. However, in IE6, after hovering
over the navigation, the drop down menu appears, but, as soon as
you move your mouse into the drop down to select an item from the
list, IE6 crashes. Every time. Various Computers.
We have tried reverting to the original
SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css file, however, the same problem occurs.
We haven't made any changes to the original js file
(SpryMenuBar.js).
Has anyone ever experienced this issue?
Here is our customized CSS:

I am having the same problems in IE7. I'm using the latest
version of everything (Spry 1.6.1 and javascript file version 0.12)
and at first I was having the problem on my drop down menus
appearing horizontal with all the correct styles but when I changed
the rule ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul to position: relative; the drop
downs appear vertical now but I have no beige border around the
whole ul anymore and I'm getting white space inbetween list items.
http://www.wusf.usf.edu/Header_Nav_Footer_newStyleSheet.cfm
so if anyone has any advice I'd much appreciate it. Also i'm
using 1px width on my borders no decimals.
