Spry Menu Bar - Freezing the Menu item in hover when clicking a submenu item

Hi,
I am trying to add a feature to a verticle spry menu bar that freezes the menu item or "parent" (to apear to be hovered) when clicking one of the parents sub-menu items. I want to do this so that users can know how they arrived at the page they're on.
Thanks for your help,
-Shiva

To look at your intention in a different way,
Hover over a submenu item
Parent item is colored/indicated
Submenu item is colored/indicated
Click on the submenu item
New page opens
Parent item "remains" colored/indicated on the new page
There are three or four ways to do this, depending on your site setup, but one basic concept to understand. The emphasis on the Parent menu item is totally independent of whether you got to the new page via the menu or by some other means. The emphasis will always be there, though it will appear to be connected to your clicking on the menu!
Say you have a menu with two Parent menu items, flowers and trees.
On the Flowers menu are submenus: Tulips, Roses, and Gardenias, On all three different Flowers pages (Tulips, Roses, Gardenias), the Flowers parent item will be emphasized.
On the Trees menu are submenus: Oak, Maple, Spruce. On all three different Trees pages (Oak, Maple, Spruce), the Trees parent item will be emphasized.
If you want to go in to each page individually, you can use a general indicator like id="localemphasis". (To emphasize more than one thing on a page, use a class instead of an id)
Using this method, on the Tulips, Roses, and Gardenias pages, put id="localemphasis" on the Flowers parent menu item.
On the Oak, Maple, and Spruce pages, put id="localemphasis" on the Trees parent menu item.
To control the emphasis from the CSS stylesheet, you won't need to go into each page, but you will ID each parent menu item.
Give each 'category' (Flowers, Trees) page a body ID to match the category
Every Flower page wants the Flower parent menu item emphasized, give all three Flower pages a body tag like this: <body id="flowers">
LIkewise, every Tree page wants the Tree parent menu item emphasized, as <body id="trees">
Within the menu itself and on ALL pages, give each parent menu item an id to correspond to its category
<li id="flowers_m">Flowers</li>
<li id="trees_m">Trees</li>
          I have added a "_m" to remind myself that it is the menu item's id. You might need to put the id on the <a> link if you have not used a list for your menu.
In your CSS stylesheet,
   #flowers #flowers_m,
     #trees #trees_m {background-color: red; color: white;}
Please use your own code! White on red might not be your cup of tea...use the same styling as the "hover" styling you mention in your query.
To interpret what we have just done, we have said
     make the background-color red and the text white
for the parent menu item Flowers (id="flowers_m") when you are on a Flowers page (body id="flowers")
and for the parent item Trees (id="trees_m") when you are on a Trees page (body id="trees").
This emphasis is good feedback for your user...remember that for SEO purposes, you will also want to use actual HTML text to reinforce the page environment, that is, h1 titles like FLOWERS and TREES. That will provide more feedback for your user.

Top right menu bar freezes

The top right menu bar freezes, the time reamins frozen and when the mouse is put over it the spinning ball comes on and nothing responds on the menu bar. Shutting down or restart stops at the clear screen and I need to use my power button to shut down and restart?
Any one able to help me?

Try opening Activity Monitor from your Utilities folder, make sure all processes are being displayed, and then look for the SystemUIServer server and see if there is a note in red that it is not responding. If so click on it to select, then click the red Quit button at the top of the window and click Force Quit when the dialog box comes up.
If this is the problem you are having problem interactions between SystemUIServer, Spotlight and some other menu bar extra. Remove all menu bar extras (you can hold down the command key, then click and drag off the menu bar). Add back items one at a time until you find the one that is a problem. If you are using StuffIt Deluxe with a menulet, that is ALWAYS a problem. There are others as well (the Classic menulet does mine in).

How to make the words of the menu bar on the top of the screen look bigger?

I am considering changing my 15.4'' to 17'', so I went to Apple store and took a look at the 17'' MBP, this machine is awesome and the display is set at 1900 X 1200, I realized that the words are smaller every where. While I know how to adjust the words below the icons to make it bigger, but I really don't know how to make the words bigger in the menu bar, in the menu bar of safari, menu bar every where, does anyone here know how to do it?

Yes, but it isn't here yet.
Sometime next year, Apple is supposed to enable the resolution independent version of the UI which will mean you can get easily readable stuff even with the much higher resolution monitors that are coming.
For now you have only two good choices: Use a lower resolution on the monitor or use the Zoom function of Universal Access (and pan the image around on the screen) to help with visibility.

Clearing Spry Menu Bars within the website

How do I clear the spry menu bar values within a website. I am trying to create a horizontal spry menu bar on one page and then another horizontal one on another page. It keeps the same values everytime I create a new page. How do I clear the values for each page?
Thanks!

I am redesigning the website in the test environment using a new page. While doing so I am redoing the spry menu bar. It changed the spry menu bar in the original website (production environment). I would like to have the spry menu's be separate. How do you create separate spry menu bars for a situation as such?
Thanks!
If you are editing locally it should not overwrite your remote file unless you have the option "Automatically upload files to server on save" checked off. If that is the case you should uncheck that box.
If you want to further separate the old version from the new version, the only other method is to just create a new site. Even if you start with a duplicate of the existing site. Then you don't risk the chance of overwriting the existing files on the server.

How do I get my menu bar at the top of the page with no gaps?

How do I get my menu bar at the top of the page with no gaps? Whenever I move it there is a huge gap at the top of the page which I cant seem to get rid of, i posted about this before but none of the suggestions seemed to work for me. i'm not very good with css so im not really sure where to find the problem. There are generally gaps everywhere which looks at absolute mess, no clue how they got there and why, there is a huge gap underneath my menu bar too which wasnt there before. how do i get rid of this too? its probably some padding a or margin but no clue where.

Top Menu Bar Freezing

Hey, I just noticed this today, I'm not sure how long it's been going on though. On my Powerbook G4, certain top menu bar items, all that have to do with OS X, including the TIME, SPOTLIGHT, AIRPORT MONITOR, as well as SOUND CONTROL freeze temporarily. Thus, the time freezes and does not display the correct time. Instead it displays the time at which the freeze occured. When you mouseover any of these items, the rainbow wheel appears. Has anyone had this problem? Possible fix? Thanks a lot!

Hi, Spencer and Inspired, et.al. —
Edit: Inspired's post appeared while I was editing what's below. We clearly agree on potential solutions. Since I've listed a few additional suggestions, I'll post this as a complement to Inspired's excellent response . . .
Some background and a few ideas for you to try —
The items on the right side of the menu bar are called "menu extras," and are managed by a process named SystemUIServer. When the behavior you've described is occurring, you may want to open Activity Monitor and check whether SystemUIServer is "hanging." If so, this may be a temporary situation. Your logs may provide an indication of what's causing the problem (I'd check system.log and console.log first). Please post back if you'd like help doing this.
From various readers' reports and solutions, this kind of problem can be caused by a number of things — including Spotlight activity, corrupted .plist files, incompatible 3rd-party "menu extras," etc.
For now, you may want to try these ideas (one at a time):
(1) Check that it's not simply an issue with Spotlight activity &/or indexing. If it is, waiting a little should do the trick.
(2) Locate these two files, move them to the trash, and restart:
~/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ com.apple.systemuiserver.xxxxxxxxxxxx.plist.
After restarting, these preference files will be regenerated. But please note that you may have to reset all of your preferences involving menu extras — or launch them from the "Menu Extras" folder, as described above.
(3) Identify any 3rd-party "menu extras" you have installed, and disable them — then check to see the impact of this change. If you have unsanity's Application Enhancer system (APE) installed, you may have to use its preference panel and uninstall it.
(4) Try locating and re-enabling menu extras — either from their respective System Preferences or (not all have prefs) from their path: Go to /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras. All of the menu extras are located here. (SystemUIServer is also located in the CoreServices folder.) Double-click to re-enable any of the menu extras that are currently disabled. Note that, if you make a mistake, you can click on any menu extra and ⌘-drag it to a diffferent location or off the menu bar entirely. You may want to restart (some would say to also repair permissions) after doing this — but I can't confirm this is necessary.
(5) In several situations (that I mention only as a ~"last resort"), users have used Pacifist to extract a "fresh" copy of SystemUIserver from their Install Disc or, e.g., from the 10.4.3 Combo Update Package and replacing the existing copy of SystemUIServer. Note that there are supporting files — so please post back to discuss this if you eventually decide it's warranted.
I hope one of these solutions that have worked for others is helpful.
Please feel free to post back and discuss things further . . .
Good luck!

How to create a Menu Bar at the bottom of the Panel?

Hi all,
I want to insert Menu bar into the bottom of the Panel but it always appears at the top and I want to create a menu at the bottom and in the left so when i click to that menu, all the menu items will appear above like window icon of Microsoft. So can you show me how to do it?
Thanks!
Regard,

Put another JPanel at the bottom and insert your menubar there.

In my fire fox window every thing has disappeared including firefox tab and address and menu bars and the problem is persisting even after reinstalling the brow

i used hotspot shield after that this problem occured. the whoole screen is blank and i cant see or do anything on firefox except closing it or opening a new tab via CNTROL +T

You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Can you bring up the menu bar with pressing the F10 key or tapping the Alt key?
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display a hidden menu bar)
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

I am using CS6 InDesign on a PC using a Windows 7 operating system.
Due to eyesight issues, I need to have the menu bars of programs in easy-to-read font and picture size. Specifically, the menu bar across the top (File, Edit, View, etc.), and the menu bar on the left side with the graphic depiction of options.
In earlier versions of Windows (e.g. XP), whenever I changed the screen resolution on my computer to a lesser resolution in order to show the link icons on my desktop in a larger, more readable size, all the software programs, including yours, appeared on my screen with the menu bars in the larger font size that I needed.
However, in Windows 7, this is not the case. Even though I have selected the lowest resolution, making the icons on my desktop extremely large, I cannot read the options across the top menu bar of your program, nor the pull-down menu items that they contain. I cannot see the graphic depictions of options on the left side of the screen. They are all too small. How can I make your program increase the size?

NO way.

Did you try the suggestions from your other post on this?

Why can't the Menu Bar and the Navigation Tool, share the same line?

With the Menu Bar and the Navigation Tool, now on separate lines, there's all this wasted space right above the address bar. What mental giant thought this up?

You can move the items on the Navigation Toolbar to the Menu bar if you want to have them on that bar.

Note that you are not able to click items on the menu bar if you hide the menu bar to get the Firefox menu button and use Alt or F10 to display the Menu bar (it is a bug).

Make a list of all the third-party applications that load an icon in the menu bar. Go through the list and eliminate all of them as suspects.

When is select Bookmarks from the Menu Bar, at the very bottom are a bunch of bookmarks. How can I move them in groups to a folder?

When is select Bookmarks from the Menu Bar, at the very bottom are a bunch of bookmarks. How can I move these in groups to a folder or folders?

The easiest way to move bookmarks around is in the Bookmarks Organizer, which at some point was renamed the Library. To open it, you can choose Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks or press Ctrl+Shift+b.
(Please note that the sort order of the Library dialog doesn't actually carry over to the menu. To sort the menu alphabetically, it's easiest to open the Bookmarks Sidebar, right-click the words Bookmarks Menu and choose Sort by Name.)

How do you make the Safari menu bars at the top and bottom of the browser go away in iOS7 when you can't scroll the screen?

The menu bar at the bottom of Safari screens only goes away if you scroll the screen. But for one page content, the screen can't be scrolled which renders useless any links/buttons at the bottom of the page.
Is there a fix for this in iOS7?
In iOS6, users needed only to tap the screen to remove the Safari menu bars. This does not work in iOS6.

In Safari > View choose Exit Full Screen
