Spry Menu Bar 2.0 auto-width issues for sub items
I am testing the spry menu bar 2.0 and it displays perfectly in IE 9.0/8.0 but the auto width is not working for Firefox (testing 3.6.16), Chrome (testing 10.0.648.205), or Safari for windows. Content is being driven by PHP and MySQL. This is the first time I have come across something working better in IE than the other browsers. Great job on the IE patch script. How do I get the other browsers to cooperate? I moved the in page CSS generated by the widget browser to it's own CSS (called spry_menubar2_horizontal_sample_layout.css) and am including the files below in the head. The links below point to an exact copy of the files as the working copy of the files is located elsewhere.
SpryMenuBasic.css - link
SpryMenuBasicSkin.css - link
spry_menubar2_horizontal_sample_layout.css - link
SpryDOMUtils.js - link
SpryDOMEffects.js - link
SpryWidget.js - link
SpryMenu.js - link
SpryMenuBarKeyNavigationPlugin.js - link
SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js - link
the in page script is loacated directly under the <ul> lists.
Similar example with php removed:

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any thoughts on how it can be fixed? Thank you for your help.
I am surprised no one has responded yet. Surely someone has encountered this before. Any thoughts?

Spry menu bar places vertically, not horizontally?
I followed the tutorial on using the widget browser to download Spry Menu Bar 2.0 and after configuring for a horizontal bar placed the bar in the tutorial index.html. The placement results in a vertical menu bar. What am I doing wrong?

/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or right pointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
.MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, all submenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
.MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top level menu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
and centered in its parent container.
MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets on the same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.

* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in a selector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6 ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets the specificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs as significant. To get around this
* problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.
* Since there are a lot of these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes for modern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class
* syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where
* it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden.
* So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule. We follow this with the single-class rule that it would
* mistakenly override, making sure the misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins.
* We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for
* the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the
* css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support.
* If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditional comments for these rules.

* If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditional comments for these rules.

Spry Menu Bar "clicking motion"
Hello,
I am struggling with find a CSS code (or some sort of code
for that matter) that will let me create a "clicking motion". I
have a Spry menu bar setup with a background image for standard
view, then one for when the image is highlighted. I am curious as
to how I can add a third image to appear when a button is actually
clicked (appearing as though the button was pushed into the
screen).
I also am wondering what is meant by the statement
"Background color when in focus". For reference,
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSEE4C0148-A6F4-4bf5-9DEF-CE06AB026214a .html#WS1FAAE9CA-F175-44e7-9499-8EA194F0636Ba

Spry Menu Bar issue, NEED HELP...???
Here is the coding for a menu bar that i created with CS3, for some reason i am having an issue when i open the web page in IE, on firefox and safari it looks fine, the menu drops down to sub menu's fine, but for some reason when i open it in IE, the submenu's show on the very top of the page rather than right below the menu itself, please check my coding and see if there is an issue???
i ran compatability and there are no issues shown.

Hi,
I have a slight problem with a spry menu bar when viewed in IE9beta, when you hover over a menu item the hover background does not always complety fill the area immediately, eventualy it does. This problem only affects IE9beta, I have tested it in the latest versions of safari, opera, firefox, and chrome.
Any help with this would be appreciated,
Richard.

Had another look at it and indeed it may become an issue in IE9, but because IE9 is still in beta, anything can change.

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:

Having issues linking spry menu bar to my other pages
Hey everyone,
I am brand new to web development. I am currently using the trial of DW and I must say I love it. I am having issues with my spry menu bar though. I will click on a certain box in the menu bar and use the properties page at the bottom and insert a link to another one of my webpages that I have created. However when I test my webpage, it will not be linked to it. Instead it is linked to #, or my index page. Now my domain name is: thecampuscocktail.com. I have created two other pages "feedback.html" and "speedydrinks.html" and even when I enter those manually into my browser (i.e. "thecampuscocktail.com/feedback.html") it gives me a page not found error. So I may be doing something incorrectly with uploading my pages however I have used the "put" option with all of them and I have used the "sync site wide" option. I am also using a template though that shouldn't affect it. Being brand new I know very, very little about coding. But here is the code to my template:

Pulling my hair out over IE8 issues with spry menu bar
Its a classic story, but for the life of me, I can't figure this out. I've seen it in a hundred different forums (all slightly different versions of the same problem) . I've put together a horizontal spry menu bar (version 1.6.1). It works fine in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc..., but goes nuts in IE.
layout and positioning of the submenus cascades horizontally, goes far right, etc.
A sample of the menu sits at http://www.alaskanrafting.com/mockup/newindex.html
I'm sure it's just a line or two in my CSS, but I sure can't find it.
the CSS sheet would be at http://www.alaskanrafting.com/mockup/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
If anyone has any pointers, I would greatly appreciate it.
ThanksTry adding/modifying the following
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li {
display: block;
float: none !important;
width: auto;
white-space: nowrap;
border-bottom: solid 1px #EEE;
There needs to be an !important for the float so that it overrides the JS.

Spry Menu bar - cell width property
I have a Spry menu bar and I want to modify the width of 1 of the menu item blocks (or cells or whatever they're called). Which property handles this, if any? I need to lengthen the width of 1 menu block to prevent the menu item text from going to the next line. BTW, I have DW CS6, Windows 7-64bit OS. Thanks, Ben
Depends on which Spry Menu you are using. For Spry Menu 2.0
#MenuBar .MenuItem .MenuItemLabel {
text-align:center;
line-height:1.4em;
color:#ffffff;
background-color:#037903;
padding: 6px 15px 6px 39px;
width: 7em; /**adjust width as needed or use auto**/
But if you use anything other than "auto," all menu items will be the same width.

Alignment Issues with Spry Menu Bar in Safari
www.laurentambard.com
I am new to CS5 and currently building a site for a friend. Having issues with aligning then far right spry menu bar so that it is flush with the page. It only shows a problem on Safari (as far as I know). Also the second tab (About) is dropping down slightly when the drop down menu is selected and not sure how to fix it.If you place the menubar in a container with an ID of nav or similar and a background color of #EEE so that it blends in with the background colour of the menu items, the centralise the menubar and menu items as per http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/CenteringHorizontalMenuBarSample.h tml, it should go a long way to meeting your requirements.

IE Browser Issue with Spry Menu Bar {screen-capture attached}
Hi there, my horizontal spry menu bar is messing up when viwed in Internet Eplorer, HTML shows no errors, after extensive testing still cant find a solution. As you will be aware IE is a popular browser so its imperative i resolve the issue. The site is http://www.theboxinghistorian.com/
View in Chrome and Firefox
View in Internet explorer (IE)
Here is the HTML code
Hope this is enough information for a solution.
Thank you for your time
MarkI've never used Spry, so take this with a huge grain of salt.. looking at your html, I am kinda wondering how come the 2nd level of the nested list items making up your submenu items arent assigned a different css style - and therefore is your css file setup to handle this change in orientation properly..
You got a class=MenuBarSubItem" on your Championship History, but theres nothing in your html (other than the nested ul within #Menubar1) to indicate that Heavyweight, Cruiserweight, etc. are 2nd Level MenuItems which should be using a different css style.. therefore it would be up to your CSS to handle this change in how these 2nd level sub menu items gets displayed.. looks like this isn't happening for MSIE, as MSIE keeps floating your 2nd level/submenu items horizontally instead of stringing them up vertically.. You may be missing a style rule in your css, but how come FF gets it right?
If I were to recreate this menu myself, I would assign a new css class to make sure my submenu items dont end up floated next to each other.. But then again, i have no clue about Spry, so I might just be rambling nonsense here... -

In IE7 Vista, my CPU is pegged at 22%. I do not run flash in
Firefox because
of its rendering engine issues, so that might be an issue
there. Safari has
known issues rendering CSS hovers on top of flash. The
workaround is to
remove hovers or live with it.

The red part shows the URL to the files. However, these files point to your locahost.
In your template, The links should look like
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Also make sure that the files do exist in the remote SpryAssets folder. -
I was working on my spry menu bar and now my sidebar1 photo moves with the menu bar?
I was working on my spry menu bar, and getting really far with it thanks to GRAMPS, and all of a sudden I wanted to put padding of 30px top and 30 px bottom on the sidebar1 photo in the container and now all of a sudden the home.jpg photo in the sidebar moves when you hover over the menu bar.
I can noit for the life of me figure out what changed and somehow was so excited about my spry menu bar working that I did not save the most recent working page. Can anybody look at this with me and let me know what changed to mess the page up on me.
Thanks a million.

None of the links are working I have just been playing with the spy menu for weeks. I finally figured it out and do not belive the error is in the spry style sheets.
Here is the code for my page. I know I am working with a template. I really do not want to start over if a <div> tag is missing.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the divs. The elements within these divs have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.
2) No margin has been given to the columns since they are all floated. If you must add margin, avoid placing it on the side you're floating toward (for example: a right margin on a div set to float right). Many times, padding can be used instead. For divs where this rule must be broken, you should add a "display:inline" declaration to the div's rule to tame a bug where some versions of Internet Explorer double the margin.
3) Since classes can be used multiple times in a document (and an element can also have multiple classes applied), the columns have been assigned class names instead of IDs. For example, two sidebar divs could be stacked if necessary. These can very easily be changed to IDs if that's your preference, as long as you'll only be using them once per document.
4) If you prefer your nav on the right instead of the left, simply float these columns the opposite direction (all right instead of all left) and they'll render in reverse order. There's no need to move the divs around in the HTML source.

<h1>Instructions</h1>
<p>Be aware that the CSS for these layouts is heavily commented. If you do most of your work in Design view, have a peek at the code to get tips on working with the CSS for the fixed layouts. You can remove these comments before you launch your site. To learn more about the techniques used in these CSS Layouts, read this article at Adobe's Developer Center - <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts">http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts</a>.</p>
<h1>Clearing Method</h1>
<p>Because all the columns are floated, this layout uses a clear:both declaration in the .footer rule. This clearing technique forces the .container to understand where the columns end in order to show any borders or background colors you place on the .container. If your design requires you to remove the .footer from the .container, you'll need to use a different clearing method. The most reliable will be to add a <br class="clearfloat" /> or <div class="clearfloat"></div> after your final floated column (but before the .container closes). This will have the same clearing effect.</p>
<h3>Logo Replacement</h3>
<p>An image placeholder was used in this layout in the .header where you'll likely want to place a logo. It is recommended that you remove the placeholder and replace it with your own linked logo. </p>
<p> Be aware that if you use the Property inspector to navigate to your logo image using the SRC field (instead of removing and replacing the placeholder), you should remove the inline background and display properties. These inline styles are only used to make the logo placeholder show up in browsers for demonstration purposes. </p>
<p>To remove the inline styles, make sure your CSS Styles panel is set to Current. Select the image, and in the Properties pane of the CSS Styles panel, right click and delete the display and background properties. (Of course, you can always go directly into the code and delete the inline styles from the image or placeholder there.)</p>
<h4>Backgrounds</h4>
<p>By nature, the background color on any div will only show for the length of the content. This means if you're using a background color or border to create the look of a side column, it won't extend all the way to the footer but will stop when the content ends. If the .content div will always contain more content, you can place a border on the .content div to divide it from the column.</p>

Spry Menu Bar 1.7 Rendering Variable background height based presence/absense of sub-menus
First, let me thank those who have offered help on previous posts on this issue -- the suggestions have pointed me in new directions.
However I am still having problems with the first menu item on the top level of a horizontal menu bar which (because it has no sub-menu) renders the background differently from the other main level items. I have implemented suggestions, as you will see, by setting a class for menu items with sub-menus as per the suggestion, and then proceeding working with line height to make specific changes within that class. However any changes appeared universally through the menu bar at all levels.
Working from that suggestion, I tried establishing a class of "menubarhorizontal_no-sub-menu" and then adjusted the line height for that item. Unfortunately it applied this change again to all items leaving a displeasing white gap between menu items in the drop down menus.
I wanted to put out a call once more. I realize that the problem is in determining which of the rules to style, but I seem to have exhausted the possibilities. The latest version can be seen at www.aclco.org/testing/index.html which will provide a visual of the problem. You can see it doesn't look much different than the original which is http://www.aclco.org/index.html.
I am also including the code for the nav bar which is inserted as a library item into all the pages:

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;
Finally, there is minimal css coding to help position the menu bar within the web page relative to the top of the page, and left edge of the web page.
This is done with a div tag called Main Nav Contents.
#Main_nav_contents {
padding: 0;
margin-top: 0px;
height: auto;
width: 950px;
padding-top: 275px;
padding-left: 35px;
I would very much appreciate any further help that people can provide me. It seems that the trick is to identify the appropriate rule; however that has thus far alluded me.
Thanks,
