Spry Menu Background Stops After Text

I made a Spry Vertical Menu in DCS4. When I look at it in the browser, the background only extends the length of text...I want it to extend across the box equally for all the menu choices. I have looked at all the CSS properties and changed the values, but nothing seems to affect the length of the backgrounds. Can you offer any suggestions? You can see the page at http://www.stepbystepcare.org/index4.html

1. Resurrect the original SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, too many irregularities in the modified one.
2. remove line 18-20 from the main document
3. add a closing UL-tag to line 83 main document
4. Then add the following to the bottom of the original SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
ul.MenuBarHorizontal {
    width: 940px;
    margin: auto;
    font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    letter-spacing: 1px;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li {
    width: auto;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul {
    width: auto;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li {
    display: block;
    float: none !important;
    width: auto;
    white-space: nowrap;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a {
    color: #B5B5B5;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    padding: 1.1em 3em 1.1em 1.5em;
    background: url(../images/img03.gif) repeat-x -100px;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a:hover, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a:focus, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemHover, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover, ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible {
    background-color: transparent;
    color: #FFF;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE {
    background: url(../images/img03.gif) repeat-x -100px;

  • Changing Spry Menu Background

    So I decided to spice up my page a little by adding a
    background image to my spry menu buttons.
    After creating an image I went to "ul.MenuBarVertical a" and
    set my new image as the background, worked fine.
    Same image with a triangle on right for a submenu button in
    "ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenu" worked fine.
    Hover image in "ul.MenuBarVertical a:hover,
    ul.MenuBarVertical a:focus" works fine.
    But I can't seem to change the background image for hovering
    over a submenu button. I assumed it would go in "ul.MenuBarVertical
    a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover" but when I hover over it the image just
    isn't right. I've looked at all the rules for my spry menu and have
    no idea what is wrong, help please, thanks in advance.

    It is always best to read the comments within the CSS.
    For instance, the first lot of style rules come under the heading
    LAYOUT INFORMATION: describes box model, positioning, z-order
    Then there are style rules that come under the heading of
    DESIGN INFORMATION: describes color scheme, borders, fonts
    Other headings are
    SUBMENU INDICATION: styles if there is a submenu under a given menu item
    and

    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);
    /* 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: left;
    background: #FFF;

    Because I can't see your site and code in context, I will make a guess that this style is throwing off your alignment:
    /* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are a fixed width */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 100%;
    position: relative;
    text-align: center;
    cursor: pointer;
    width: 160px;
    float: left;
    background-image: url(file:///E|/MAIN_website/images/menu_background.jpg);
    Remove the text-align:center; from the above style.
    Instead of centering your list element (li), center the link text (a) itself:
    /* Menu items are a light gray block with padding and no text decoration */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
    display: block;
    cursor: pointer;
    padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
    color: #FFF;
    text-align: center;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-family: Cambria, Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    If you don't want the submenu text to be centered, do this immediately after the previous style:
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul a {text-align: left;}
    The sub-submenus are also set up by default to be jogged a bit to the right. You can adjust this style:
    /* Submenus should appear slightly overlapping to the right (95%) and up (-5%) */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul ul
    position: absolute;
    margin: -5% 0 0 95%;
    that causes sub-submenus to fly out to the right of the submenus to which they attach.
    Submenus themselves (not the sub-submenus) should fall directly under the top menu item by default, once you remove the text-align: center; on the li item (above).

  • Spry Menu background is white in IE

    I've created a vertical Spry menu with submenus. The menu should not have a background color, so it should take the color of the image it's on top of. This looks fine on Safari (Mac) and Firefox (Mac/Windows), but on IE 8 (Windows), the menu background is WHITE. This makes it difficult to see the menu items. What can I do so that the menu background is transparent and does not show up white in IE?
    The site: http://chrysacupuncture.com
    I'm attaching index.html, my own css file, and the Spry css file.
    Thanks for your help.

    Actually, now that I look at it, I think one of your IE hacks might be malfunctioning:
    /* 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.MenuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE
              display: inline;
              f\loat: left;
              background: #FFF;
    This is the bottom-most item in your CSS file.  Notice the typo in the float:left and that it does indeed state a white background background:#FFF.  I don't usually put IE hacks external CSS, you might try moving it to the main HTML file and using IECC.  Place it in the header as you would if you had internal CSS:
    <!--[if IE 5]>
    <style type="text/css">
    ul.MenuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE
              display: inline;
              float: left;
    </style>
    <![endIf]-->
    I removed the background color altogether, but you may have to define one (I don't usually support IE5 so I'm not sure).
    If you insist on having this hack externally, you can try placing the background: transparent in the first item of your CSS:
    ul.MenuBarVertical
         margin: 0;
         padding: 0;
         list-style-type: none;
         font-size: 100%;
         cursor: default;
         width: 9em;
         padding-top: 80px;
         background: transparent;

  • Spry menu dropdowns stop working

    Hi,
    I have a test site on my own site that I am hoping to put
    live next week - so I'm testing it thouroughly...
    see www.tthonline.co.uk/LBTC
    The problem is, if you go to a 'What's On' page and then use
    a few of the named anchors in the left menu bar to jump to sections
    in the long list of events - after say three or four selections the
    drop downs from the horizontal menu bar stop appearing. I have not
    modified the javascript in any way - my only changes to the
    standard spry setup are CSS based.
    As I say this site was going live next week, so I call this
    urgent

    Problem solved - a typo and the use of a reserved word as an
    anchor...

  • SPRY menu background transparency

    Is it possible for the spry menu object to use a transparent
    background? I'm assuming the white background that shows up when
    you remove all of the menu's background colors is an iFrame meant
    to keep the menu from slipping behind form elements...is there any
    way to disable this behavior? Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    please try to add on this rule:
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal li the following property: opacity:0.3;
    (this will work only for FF, for IE you should have:
    filter:alpha(opacity:30))
    We have a fix for the next spry release version, about
    iframes: on this rule ul.MenuBarHorizontal iframe add:
    filter:alpha(opacity:0.1);
    Hope this helps,
    Diana

  • Making spry menu background transparent

    Hello
    I have made a spry menu and made the background transparent.
    Works in Safari and Firefox on my mac but on a pc (IE) it is white.
    How can I change this? (I'm fairly new at this) Thanks

    Hello DrJeff08
    I'm happy to report that I did manage to solve my problem,
    perhaps if we're lucky we'll solve yours too. (This is my first
    website with Dreamweaver and first time using CSS). I went to my
    CSS panel in order to view all the rules I'd created, opened up the
    Spry CSS rules and methodically checked all of the properties for
    each of the rules. The very last entry on that style sheet was one
    that I didn't create, called ul.menuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE
    (the "IE" that I see at the end of that name gave me a clue that it
    relates to Internet Explorer) I noticed that the background was
    white so I simply removed the white background. It must have been
    automatically inserted as a default background color.
    Hope it helps!

  • Spry menu Background color IE

    The background color of one of my menu items (the only one which includes a submenu) appears as white instead of blue in Internet Explorer 8.0

  • Spry Menu Background

    I've seen this question posted around various places but
    haven't seen a direct answer to it; or maybe I've overlooked it.
    How can I make the background for the pop out menus
    semi-transparent? (For IE7, Safari, & Firefox2)
    Thanks in advance!

    You need to set up a special class and apply it to the LI for
    the sub
    menus...
    if you look at this page I put up yesterday, you can see that
    I have a
    different color for the subs (not opaque, but you do that by
    adding the
    opacity styles to the class)
    http://www.perrelink.com.au/beauty/
    Check out the stylesheet and look for the #MenuBar1 .flyout a
    and check the html code to see where I applied the class.

  • Background png doesn't show right in vertical spry menu in IE

    Hi,
    My vertical spry menu background gradient png is fine in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc. But in IE it shows white. I have it posted on a temporary site: http://bethniebuhr.com
    Can you help me fix the IE?
    Thanks.

    At the bottom the SpryMenuBarVertical.css you have
    /* HACK FOR IE: to stabilize appearance of menu items; the slash in float is to keep IE 5.0 from parsing */

    Either set the value to transparent or remove the line altogether.

  • How to make Spry menu and submenu backgrounds different

    Hi all. I have a horizontal spry menu bar, and i'm using a gradient image for the background of the main menu, but I want the submenu to just be a solid color. I figure i should just be able to use css for this solid BG, but I can create an image no problem if need be. I just think it looks unprofessional to have multiple segments of a horizontal gradient stacked vertically. I know this is possible, the second to last example on this link demonstrates but doesn't explain:

    The idea with putting the new styles *after* the original styles is that they are logically similar to but 'sub' styles to existing styles. In fact, you could probably put them way at the bottom, but if you wanted to edit them you might not find them again easily. I was trying to keep similar style rules together.

  • Removing white space after Spry Menu Bar...

    I having a bit of a problem trying to remove a little white space after my Spry Menu bar, when I set it to 8.6em theres a little white space, when I set the width to 9.7 it goes too far, I changed it to 137 pixels, however in Firefox and IE, it messes up the layout.
    Also what do you do if there a different browsers, where some layouts are out of place, do you need to detect the browser with JS?

  • Divs are shifting after inserting spry menu bar

    I have tried so much that it has driven me crazy. Initailly I created this site by APdivs and it came out perfect and worked great, except it was not fluid and looked bad on bigger browser and screen size. I decided to change it to fluid way. Now I am in bad shape as soon as I put a horizontal spry menu bar. it shifts the columns to the left and leaves a blank space next to the column 3. I am out of idea, how to fix it. As soon as I take the menu bar out, it works perfect. and columns are stretched to the end on both sides.
    Here is the link of test page
    www.hpbsurgery.net
    This is what I have tried-nothing worked
    put menu bar in container
    put menu bar in header div
    Put mebu bar in a horizontal div inside header div.
    changed the size and dimension of menu bar
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am running out of time.
    Thanks much all....

    Thanks very much for your help. I just wanted to mention one thing which I discovered this am by accident out of frustration. Originally, I was trying to control the size of the 3 columns with external CSS and it was messing up after inserting menu bar. I wrote directly in the code this am to exactly define the size besides in my CSS. AND............it fixed the problem and stretched the columns to the end on both side and sizes were appropriate, I am still not sure why did it happen.
    I am not a professional and trying to build my own site as I have interest in web design, but this is first time with DW.
    I really appreciate your help and suggestion about the code.
    Thanks a lot,

    You appear confused about how to use CSS classes and IDs.  Classes (.className) can be used multiple times in layouts as for re-usable styles.  IDs (#IDName) can be used only one time per page -- as for layout regions or when JavaScript is needed to act upon it.  Try copying and pasting this code into a new blank page.  Hopefully it will make more sense than what you have now.
