Spry in Wordpress

Greetings from Sunny South Florida.
The site i created contains a spry drop down menu which works fine when tested in dreamweaver but when i upload the site to Word Press the spy menu
doesnt work properly.
What it does is the whole menu bar moves up and down rather than just the drop down moving down.
What i did:
i created the file in dreamweaver as an html then saved as a php when finished,,, added a small line at the top of the file to tell Wordpress this is a theme
called "aboutpage".
Then i uploaded the file to word press theme folder and i uploaded the css and the javafile in to the same directory as the php file,,,, when that didnt work i copied and pasted the css and javascript in the word press root and just to test i ended up pasting them in all the directories leading up to my php file...
the fact that when i test the site in wordpress and the whole menu bar moves up and down rather than just the sub menu moving down tells me the page is reading the java scrip but im wondering if theres a fix for this or does wordpress not like dropdown sprys or is it the java?
Thanks in advance.

Hi folks,
I read this post and you know, I had the same problem. I used a Dreamweaver Spry in my html muckup and it worked! Beautifully. Once I sliced up the html into my wp theme, well, nothing worked.
This is the test link (plain html):
http://cemees.org/v1/index-003.html
Now the wordpress theme in my local computer looks like this:
http://cemees.org/v1/images/DreamweaverSpryOnWordpress.jpg
I don´t understand. Even, I changed the image path in the Spry folder using the full path and it works on the Desing view on Dreamweaver but on the XAMPP app. Can you believe it? Do you know why is that?
Thanks for your time and help.
Greetings,
Ray

Spry submenu z-index problem in IE

My sub menus in IE are going behind the page content on my wordpress blog page.
I'm not sure if this is a spry or wordpress problem, but I had this problem on a few other (non wordpress) pages and fixed it by adding "z-index:10000;" under "#MenuBar.MenuBar .SubMenuVisible {/* For Horizontal menubar only */".
In wordpress I have a plug in called "custom headers and footers" where I can put in html code for the menu.
In this I've added "z-index:100000000;" under the following menus :
#MenuBar, .nav
and
#MenuBar.MenuBar .SubMenuVisible {/* For Horizontal menubar only */
The background area of the menu is also about twice the height it should be in IE, this isn't as big a problem, but I would like to fix that too.
I think I found out a while ago that it's not possible to make the menus shiny in IE as they are in every other browser.
Also in firefox when I'm on the blog page and I hover over the "Strawberry switchblade" menu it makes the text in all the menus go darker.

All right, well I just figured out my problem, and hopefully this will help anybody else.
I was positioning my images using <position: absolute;> While this is definitely the easiest way to specifically place something on a page, Internet Explorer, it seems, assigns that z-value as the highest on the page, which is why my dropdown menus wouldn't appear on top of the image, but behind it.
The solution I found was changing the position attribute to "static" rather than "absolute". The "static" attribute can't use position qualities like "top", "bottom", "left", and "right", but has to use margins and float to be specifically place.
While this isn't as easy as absolute positioning, using the static value will allow the Spry dropdown menu to appear over top of the images instead of behind them.

Spry horizontal menu showing as vertical ul in WordPress theme- help?

I am trying to modify a fairly simple WordPress theme to match the look of other (static) pages on my site. I inserted a horizontal Spry menu in the file header.php. In the split code window in DW this has the proper appearance, but in MAMP (or on the remote server) it appears as as a vertical list of underlined links. I am guessing that the menu's appearance is being over-ridden somewhere, but where? Here is header.php; thanks for any help.

Thanks for the prompt help. The site root for Test Blog is at Sites/wordpress and the header.php for the theme is at Sites/wordpress/wp-content/themes/Basic. The scripts call Sites/wordpress/SpryAssets so ../../../ should be correct. When I load Basic/header.php in DW, the menu displays properly in Split view.
As you know, wordpress loads the top-level index.php and that uses the index.php found in the activated theme to format the page. When I load this top-level index.php into DW, it displays the Spry menu correctly (horizontal, hover color change), but when I use option-F12 to load into Safari at localhost/wordpress, it shows the vertical list of links.
The page is at timothybuchanan.org/wp. What I am wondering now is why the same page would display correctly inside DW and not in the browser. What should I check?

Spry Menu not working correctly

Hopefully this is the right part of the forum to post this question, if not, I apologize.
I have created a site in dreamweaver and am using a single Spry Menu Bar. I have read tons of forum postings about Drop down menus not working in IE, however, mine don't work in any browser or in the Live View either. I have a feeling it has something to do with either the div containing the menu bar or the sizing, but I can't tell. Please help.

Any help is appreciated.

You do not have a constructor for the menu bar as in
<script type="text/javascript">
var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1", {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif", imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
</script>
There are too many mistakes in the JS outside of the Spry Menu Bar. Have a look at the following which includes all errors, not just the JS
Validation Output:   117 Errors
Line 21, Column 38: character "&" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=… ✉
This message may appear in several cases:
You tried to include the "<" character in your page: you should escape it as "<"
You used an unescaped ampersand "&": this may be valid in some contexts, but it is recommended to use "&", which is always safe.
Another possibility is that you forgot to close quotes in a previous tag.
Line 21, Column 40: cannot generate system identifier for general entity "i" … var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=… ✉
An entity reference was found in the document, but there is no reference by that name defined. Often this is caused by misspelling the reference name, unencoded ampersands, or by leaving off the trailing semicolon (;). The most common cause of this error is unencoded ampersands in URLs as described by the WDG in "Ampersands in URLs".
Entity references start with an ampersand (&) and end with a semicolon (;). If you want to use a literal ampersand in your document you must encode it as "&" (even inside URLs!). Be careful to end entity references with a semicolon or your entity reference may get interpreted in connection with the following text. Also keep in mind that named entity references are case-sensitive; &Aelig; and æ are different characters.
If this error appears in some markup generated by PHP's session handling code, this article has explanations and solutions to your problem.
Note that in most documents, errors related to entity references will trigger up to 5 separate messages from the Validator. Usually these will all disappear when the original problem is fixed.
Line 21, Column 40: general entity "i" not defined and no default entity … var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=… ✉
This is usually a cascading error caused by a an undefined entity reference or use of an unencoded ampersand (&) in an URL or body text. See the previous message for further details.
Line 21, Column 41: reference not terminated by REFC delimiter …var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x… ✉
If you meant to include an entity that starts with "&", then you should terminate it with ";". Another reason for this error message is that you inadvertently created an entity by failing to escape an "&" character just before this text.
Line 21, Column 41: reference to entity "i" for which no system identifier could be generated …var i,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x… ✉

You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by:
incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element),
by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements must be all lower-case).
Line 21, Column 51: character "&" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data …,x,a=document.MM_sr; for(i=0;a&&i<a.length&&(x=a[i])&&x.oSrc;i++) x.src=x.oSrc; ✉

You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by:
incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element),
by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements must be all lower-case).

An entity reference was found in the document, but there is no reference by that name defined. Often this is caused by misspelling the reference name, unencoded ampersands, or by leaving off the trailing semicolon (;). The most common cause of this error is unencoded ampersands in URLs as described by the WDG in "Ampersands in URLs".
Entity references start with an ampersand (&) and end with a semicolon (;). If you want to use a literal ampersand in your document you must encode it as "&" (even inside URLs!). Be careful to end entity references with a semicolon or your entity reference may get interpreted in connection with the following text. Also keep in mind that named entity references are case-sensitive; &Aelig; and æ are different characters.
If this error appears in some markup generated by PHP's session handling code, this article has explanations and solutions to your problem.
Note that in most documents, errors related to entity references will trigger up to 5 separate messages from the Validator. Usually these will all disappear when the original problem is fixed.

Spry RSS Feed widget works in IE but not Firefox or Chrome

I've been trying to use the Spry RSS Feed widget (6/9/2011 - via the Widget Browser) to feed a Wordpress blog I have onto my site. I customized the widget and installed the widget to my page, but it only works in IE (Version 8), and not in Firefox (9.0./1) or Chrome (16.0.912.63 m). I thought maybe I had something conflicting with it on my page, so I even tried inserting into a completely blank page, but I get the same results.
I've scoured the web for options to get this feed onto my site, and found PHP solutions, and a bunch of other tools, but I'm not much of a coder, and haven't been able to get them to work at all.
I'm using CS 5.5
Any recommendations?
Thanks!!
Here's the code from the blank page I tried:

The problem is that XML data cannot be transmitted cross domain.
This example, http://pleysier.com.au/rss/, uses Spry.Data.YQLDataSet to overcome the limitation, see here https://github.com/3rd-Eden/Spry-YQL-DataSet

Javascript drop-down Spry menu not working

I downloaded the Spry UI 1.7 menu bar from the widget browser and pasted the code into DW CS4. I could not place it as you can in CS5. DW throws up javascript errors, but the styled menu bar works in live view and in the testing environment on Firefox and IE6 (!). However, once I load it, it does not work. It appears as if the browser can't find the javascript or the styles. I've pasted the styles in my main style sheet and in the referenced sheet at: Spry-UI-1.7/css/Menu/basic/SpryMenuBasic.css. I've verified that the Spry-UI-1.7 folder is loaded and contains all the relevant files.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've been working on this on and off for two days.

Thanks, Gary. Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.
It felt like it wasn't finding the js, but I didn't know why. It turns out my host didn't like the folder name. When you download the folder for the Spry 2.0 menu from the widget browser, all your js and css is stored in a folder named "Spry-UI-1.7." The menu worked locally, but once I loaded it, my server didn't like the folder name. I renamed the folder "Spry" and reset the paths, and it worked. I'm posting this here in case anyone else has this problem. Cheers

Automatically Show Blog Content in Spry Panel?

Hi Everyone -
I currently have a Wordpress blog at http://www.roadkillcreative.com/blog and I'd like to get the latest blog entry (or a portion of) to show up in the "blog" spry panel at http://www.roadkillcreative.com/sports/
Currently I'm updating it manually. Does anyone know a way to do it automatically? Maybe a widget?
Thanks for the help!

Hi
The normal and possibly easiest way is to incorporate it as an rss feed.

Spry Gallery Demo Grow effect problems

Im learning and trying to recreate the spry gallery demo with
the growing thumbnails.
I have replicated pretty much all the code and used the same
onmouseover gallery.js and spryeffects.js but I just get an error
on page and no grow.
If I use the attribute panel and use the grow effect it does
work but the thumbnails around the one growing are pushed around
instead of the growing thumbnail appearing on top.
I'm stuck!
My code for the thumnail region is here:
<div id="thumbcontainer" spry:region="dsGallery">
<div spry:repeat="dsGallery"
onmouseover="GrowThumbnail(this.getElementsByTagName('img')[0],
'75', '75');"
onmouseout="ShrinkThumbnail(this.getElementsByTagName('img')[0]);">
<img src="thumbnails/{@thumbpath}" alt="" width="32"
height="32" id="tn{ds_RowID}" style="left: 0px; right: 0px;"
spry:setrow="dsGallery" class="thumbImage"/>
</div>
</div>
Any suggestions

I'm confused. The example for Spry gallery DOESN'T use an
anchor tag around the thumbnails... In your article and in some
posts, you say that the structure is:
<div id="thumbnails">
<div class="thumbnail">
<a href="image.jpg"><img src="image.jpg"
/></a>
</div>
</div>
However, I downloaded Spry_1_6_1_022408 and copied the
example thumbnails element & content verbatim:
<div id="thumbnails" spry:region="dsPhotos dsGalleries
dsGallery">
<div spry:repeat="dsPhotos"
onclick="HandleThumbnailClick('{ds_RowID}');"
onmouseover="GrowThumbnail(this.getElementsByTagName('img')[0],
'{@thumbwidth}', '{@thumbheight}');"
onmouseout="ShrinkThumbnail(this.getElementsByTagName('img')[0]);">
<img id="tn{ds_RowID}" alt="thumbnail for {@thumbpath}"
src="galleries/{dsGalleries::@base}{dsGallery::thumbnail/@base}{@thumbpath}"
width="24" height="24" style="left: 0px; right: 0px;" />
</div>
<p class="ClearAll"></p>
</div>
NO ANCHOR TAG. Even if you look in the generated source,
there's no link surrounding the thumbnail image.
So I guess I am unclear as to how to apply your fix? Using
the 1.6.1 version, the sample function code you show doesn't match,
nor does it seem to reflect your modifications...
Any ideas? I managed to track down your post about the bug in
IE 7 (it exists in IE6, too) [the demo link (
http://mad.sweepingdesign.com/index.html)
goes to a page that says "It works!"]
The actual article can be found here, though the demo link
shows nothing:

Spry Menu bar, simple question

I have a spry menu bar that is working great with my HTML pages. I would like to incorporate the same bar into my index.php page for my blog so that it can maintain the same look and feel.
<dumb question> Can this be done? </dumb question>.
Thanks in advance for this newb question.

Spry Collapsible panel - open and closed default question...

I am using a Spry Collapsible panel in a vertical nav menu (DW CS4) and it's in a template for my site. I want it to be closed as default on the Home page, but when a visitor clicks to open it and selects their option, I would like it to remain open on the selected page - Is there a way to do this?
Thank you all!

Spry menu bar woes (add submenu levels and edit width)

So i need some spry menu bar help. Apparently as a graphic designer i'm also expected to webdesign, and while i can solve most problems with a good googling, i seem to be at my wit's end fo this one. So the site i'm doing has a header ith a horizontal spry pop-up menubar (in Dreamweaver CS4). But some problems arise: when i manually add another submenu level, they don't show up in chrome or FF, they do werk perfectly in IE6. I just add the following code to the codepage:
<li><a href="#" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">audio equipment</a>             <ul>               <li><a href="#">Digital Matrix Systems</a></li>               <ul>               <li><a href="#">R2 Digital Audio Matrix</a></li>               </ul>               <li><a href="#">pre-amplifiers & mixers</a></li>               <ul>               <li><a href="#">PMX124</a></li>               </ul>
the PMX never pops open in FF an chrome.. Should i be adding anything else to another part of the code? i'd like my submenu text to have a slight indent? How ever, when i add the indent to ul.menubarhorizontal ul , it elongates the submeny boxes in IE6, while looking normal (width) in chrome and FF. WHat part of the CSS style should i change to just have the text scoot over a bit without it really affecting the box layout? ALso, if anyone could tell me how to add a wee bit of spacing above the text (and beneath), i'd be eternally gratefull. Also, how do i change the with of the submenus? seing as my main buttons are images, but the names i ned to put in my submenus are turning out to be pretty long...
HTML code for the menu:

Hi Nancy,
This screenshot was only for imagination. A part of the code (not all) is below. In the code there are some background images but they are not seem in live mode.

How can I get a menu link to show active state in Spry?

I want to have my Spry menu bar show the page I am on as a highlighted with background-color and text-color being highlighted and different than the rest of the menu bar. It seems that there are two ways that people talk about doing this.
One is to modify the a:hover and a:focus styles in the Spry assets. If this is the answer, I am missing something. After much experimentation, I actually created a style for a:hover (which is rollover only) and a:focus (which is when you click on the bar). It has no bearing on the state of the menu when it is showing the page as the page the user is on. If someone can give me a clue whether the CSS in Spry assets is the way to go, please provide specific code that would go in a specific place. Generalities are not helping me go to a specific solution.
The other way to go seems to give the body an ID on each page. There is a thread here: <http://www.highdots.com/forums/macromedia-dreamweaver/using-css-highlight-current-page-227 823.html>
It says:
"Example:
<body id="home">
This is because the CSS is:
#home #menu .home a
background-color:#ED2424;
color: #E7E63E;
That means color the <a> tag with the class home, inside the #menu container,
inside the #home container which is the body.
Without giving the body an ID, there is no "home" container so the CSS doesn't
apply to anything."
If this is correct, where do each of these snippets of code actually go? Does this apply to Spry? I would assume that the body id is in Source Code, and the others are in CSS. But where?
There is also another solution posted elsewhere: <http://css-tricks.com/id-your-body-for-greater-css-control-and-specificity/>
What specific advice can you provide to get a web site to do something that is pretty basic from the perspective of the user?

</body>
</html>
So that you do not have to repeat the style rules in every document, add the rules to the existing SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css. The class is added to the menu item that has the current document, in our case above it will be index.html or similar. The class will be placed on menu items that correspond to the current page.

Using a variable in Spry conditional tests included in a Spry Tooltip

I have the following code:
<div spry:region="company" id="tooltip">
<div spry:repeat="company" spry:choose="spry:choose">
<div spry:when="'{name}'==memberName">
<table>
<tr>
<td
align="center"><h2>{name}</h2></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center"><img src="{headshot}"
alt="{name}" width="227" height="350" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">{description}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var tooltip_trigger_one = new
Spry.Widget.Tooltip("tooltip","#trigger", {showDelay: 200,
hideDelay: 200, offsetX: 250, offsetY: 200} );
</script>
where the variable "memberName" is set elsewhere to a value
that matches one of the occurrences in the column "name" in the
dataset "company". I can see, using debugging tools, that the
variable is being set correctly. But.... when the tooltip is
triggered, only a small few-pixel square box opens up.
If, instead of using the variable "memberName" in:
<div spry:when="'{name}'==memberName">
I use a string, as in
<div spry:when="'{name}'=='John Doe'">
then the code works correctly and I get a large tootlip
showing me the correct information for that member of the company.
I have tried different tests (spry:if and spry:test for
instance), tried various combinations of quotes and parenthesis and
tried placing the code at various places both inside and outside of
the <body> -- but always get the same results.
Is it not possible to test against a variable or am I doing
something else incorrectly?
Thanks,
Janet

OK.... some progress to report.
I was setting memberName onmouseover-- which is also the
trigger for the tooltip-- thusly:
<p><em onmouseover="memberName='John Doe'"
id="trigger">John Doe</em></p>
It seems that the variable is being set, but too late, as the
trigger has already caused the div... id="tooltip"> to be
evaluated with "memberName" not equal to any of the names in the
dataset. I tried using a function call to set "memberName" and
tried putting the onmouseover in the <p> tag and leaving the
trigger id in the <em> tag. but neither of those appear to
change the outcome. "memberName" still appears to be set to the
value I initialized it to up the the <head> section at the
time the tooltip <div> is evaluated. Although it is set
correctly if I check it's value using Firebug after I have
mouse-overed it.
Incidentally, using a Firebug breakpoint just before the
<div spry:when...> and checking the value of memberName was
how I discovered that "memberName" still seemed to have a value of
"initialized" which is what I set it to up in the <head>
section.
Having written all of this, I am wondering though, shouldn't
the value of "memberName" be equal to "John Doe" the second time I
mouseover it? Or, if there are more than one trigger "names" on the
page, shouldn't "memberName" be equal to the name of the previous
trigger that I moused-over? And with memberName having a legitimate
value at that point, shouldn't the tooltip now show the correct
display information rather than just that little few pixel square
box that I am getting when I mouse-over the trigger name?
Clearly there is something that I just am not understanding.
