SPry menu bar help

I have recently migrated from MS frontpage '03 to Dreamweaver
CS3. I must admit , for a novice at WYSIWYG and a complete beginner
at the html code, this transition was not as easy as I expected.
However after purchasing a few books, and viewing some of the vids
of adobe , I finally got the hang of things.
I am busy designing a school website, using one of the html
templates offered by DW CS3 (two coloumns elastic,right sidebar,
header and footer). I have inserted a spry horizonal Navigation bar
under the banner(which is a jpg). Both th espry navigation and the
banner is in the header part of the html template.
I have encountered three probs:
1) I cant change the colour of the spry menu bar and its drop
down menu. When I look at the code/split view, I do not see any
code relating to the color of the menu bar (ie. #999999).
2) I dont seem to know how to align the spry menu directly
under the banner. (there is a slight space between the banner and
the spry menu )
3) Also there is a slight grey space on top and at the bottom
of the banner (even after I set the padding to 0px)
A reply would be highy appreciated

Hi Zenoneath,
Possible answers to your probs:
1. Using the spry menubar, you also are linked to a
sprymenubarhorizontal.css (look in your HEAD code), the css is
located in the spryassets dir. Read the grey text between the css
code and you find your answer to the colors.
2. Perhaps within the same CSS you can position the menubar
exactly. otherwise place the complete menubarcode in a div and give
this div a classname and position it within a css stylesheet.
3. Most likely, using a DW template, your already linked to a
specific CSS file wich is combined with the template. In that CSS
file you will find the headerdiv, and can change bg color there.
Looks like it all about CSS... life is simple...sometimes.
Hope it will work for you!

Spry Menu Bar - Help Request

Hello!
I'm using a horizontal spry menu bar with horizontal sub menu
and have almost gotten the navigation exactly how I need it. I'm
stuck, however, and don't know how to fix the following:
1. I have absolute positioning set for my sub menu so that
the items appear under the left-most main menu item instead of
their parent item. When I change screen sizes, the sub menu stays
put (as it should) and everything else moves with the re-size. I
can't figure out where the sub menu positioning is originally set
to change it or how to get it to appear where it currently is
without using absolute positioning.
2. I would like to center the contents of the sub menu and I
think I've tried text-align:center everywhere possible but to no
avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
3. Is there any way that the menu can recongnize the page
that it's on and display the appropriate link high-lighted. For
example, when you open the home page the active/focus state for the
"Home" button shows (for this menu it would be a different color
background image) and it's corresponding sub menu would be
displayed automatically. Would a script do it? Is there anything
like this available?
The following is the page code and accompanying css. I have
not altered the js file. I apologize for not being able to provide
a link, but may be able to do so this evening.
Thanks in advance for your help!

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...

Spry menu bar changed since I tried to split cells in a table! Help!

I am VERY new to web design, so I apologize in advance for being ignorant. I am trying to learn!
I had inserted a spry menu bar that looked fine and even tested fine!
I subsequently tried to split a section of my table in the web page in order to have 3 columns of centered text. The first time I did this, the spry menu bar became vertical even though it is listed as horizontal. I looked up a forum answer, copied the code from the suggestion, and that seemed to fix the problem (although I still don't know what EXACTLY happened)
I tried to split the table again (I had undone everything prior to this), only this time, the spry menu bar is located outside the page in the left hand corner where my background (I have a wrapper) is. I tried opening another page where I already had a nice spry menu bar, and it did the same thing!! This makes me think it is the CSS sheet for the menu bar that was modified somehow when I split the table. I'm pasting the CSS here below, so if anyone sees any issues that might cause this problem, please let me know!! I have been working for the most part in design view, and haven't really modified the code other than to put a wrapper in and a facebook like button, which I've now lost in the slitting cells catastrophe. Thanks in advance!!!

Well, I took a picture of my dreamweaver screen, so you can see what I am looking at...
You can see that the spry menu bar shows up in the top left corner in my design view, but on the website, it is located in the correct place! Maybe it is a Dreamweaver problem??? This happened when I tried to split the cell underneath the section that says "Let NOLA Scribes help you!" into 5 cells so that I could insert 5 differnet pictures and captions. Now, when I open the other linked pages in Dreamweaver, it does the same thing! I'm using an older version of Dreamweaver, but from what I read, that shouldn't be an issue. Thanks in advance for your help!

Added a spry menu bar and site works in firefox but not in chrome or IE. Please help

Hello,
I'm a photographer by trade and have only picked up enough web design knowledge in order to build a website that isn't distracting to my photographs and is simple to update and mantain. Please breakdown any answers to my questions in very simple terms.
To start off here is a link to my site for reference. www.cechternach.com
1. My Biggest problem right now is that my site works in firefox but appears as a blank white page in chrome and in IE it only shows my background color.
I'm assuming that this has something to do with the spry menu bar I added. The galleries, banner, and footer were all part of a previous version of this website that didn't use the menu bar. I actually used png's exported from an illustrator as buttons. I've been wrestling with this menu bar for a few days now. I had an issue with the menubar forcing down the gallery below it. that was fixed by changing a position value from relative to absolute in the menubar css. Then I couldn't see the submenu over the galleries. I think I fixed that with a wmode change but I"m not sure if I did that right. I believe i needed to change that in the object and embed part of the code. One spot for certain browsers and the other spot for other browsers. I was a little confused on this because i also read that i needed to change the wmode in the javascript file in dreamweaver cs4 which is what i'm using. Whatever wmode I changed it seemed to work in firefox. The submenu background was showing up transparent but i fixed that in the menubar css.
2. I would like the submenu's to have a semi transparent blurred background effect. Is this possible with a spry menu bar?
3. How do I center my text in the submenu?
4. My menu bar buttons should be the same font as my name in my banner. It looks fine on my computer that has that font loaded but on other computers I was testing the site on the menubar buttons show up as a default font. How can i fix this?
5. Is there any way to get rid of the grey lines that show up around my slideshow pro galleries and menu bar buttons when they are clicked?
The last four questions aren't as important as the first one. I may be upsetting the flow of the forum as well. Please let me know if I'm not following procedure with any of my questions. Feel free to point out any other problems you see with my page. I'm trying to learn this as I go. Thanks in advance.

Spry widgets, which includes the SpryMenuBar, in their original state do not pose any problem in any browser!
Widgets contain two parts
JavaScript which drives the widget
CSS which styles the widget to individual tastes
The most common reason for a widget to misbehave especially in IE is because the inexperienced web developer has upset the delicate balance of the CSS. I say delicate, because in the original, great care has been taken by the Spry team to ensure cross browser compatibility.
There are other reasons why a whole page can misbehave. In these cases, the culprit should be sought outside of the Spry framework.
When trouble shooting, I would first of all comment out all of the Spry Spry parts and test the page in IE. If it does work after that, then yes come back here and we will have a look at the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css for you.
If it doesn't work after disabling Spry, then have a look at the coding and the CSS for your page and fix that.
I hope this helps.

Need help with Spry Menu Bar

Hello, I have two templates that I am using. Both have a horizontal menu bar across the top of the page and then two Vertical Spry Menu Bars down the left hand side of the page - one above the other. On one template, all menu bars are working correctly. On the other template, 2 out of three are working correctly. Not sure what's happening here. The spry menu bar that is not working correctly is under "Books & Materials" heading. The menu bar is supposed to turn green when you mouse over it, but instead everything turns white and looks like it "disappears". I have no idea why it would work on one template and not the other. Or for that matter, why it is working on one vertical spry menu bar, but not the other on the same page. Can anyone help me?   www.springerlejoy.com/proanimals4.html This is a page that shows where it is not working. Basically, all of the products pages are having this problem. If you go to the home page: www.springerlejoy.com you will see that this page is working - using a different template. Can anyone help me? I'm at a loss! Thanks!
Debbie

Help with vertical spry menu bar submenu displaying incorrectly!

I’m new to Dreamweaver and am learning as I go. I am having a problem with the vertical spry menu bar submenu in the Live View. When I scroll over the spry menu bar option that has a submenu, the submenu appears in the upper right hand corner of my screen. (My menu bar is going down the left hand side.) However, when I preview it in Internet Explorer it looks fine after I allow the Java Script to run or the Active X controls, which my browser usually automatically blocks. (The browser just displays a small message along the top and I click on it to allow it.) To get it to do this much, I had to play around with the CSS for the spry menu bar a little bit.
Before, when I clicked on the Live View option, a small message ran along the top in Dreamweaver saying it couldn’t find the Flash Plugin and asked me to download the most recent FlashPlayer, which I did twice. It continued to say that and then I just closed that message that kept popping up, but I think that has something to do with the problem. I then researched that problem in the Spry Framework Help and Dreamweaver Help, but couldn’t find a solution that worked. (Someone had posted a link for downloading the Flash Player for Netscape Navigator, but that didn’t seem to do anything.)
Please also note that I am using one of Dreamweaver’s pre-built layouts. I don’t know if that makes a difference with this problem.
How do I fix this problem so that it displays correctly in the LiveView? And will the message that I get on my browser about allowing blocked content appear on other people’s computer when they open my website?

IE is a big problem child among browsers. Don't use it as your default browser.
For best results, build your site to display & perform well in the web standards browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Safari & Opera. If it works in one, it should work pretty much the same in all of them.
After you're satisfied with how your site looks in the good browsers, then test in IE. If needed, add hacks or conditional comments to make IE behave. There are many web sites that discuss known bugs in IE and how to work around them.
Lastly, the active X nag screens only appear locally. Once deployed on the remote server, you won't see them.
For better answers to your layout questions, we need to see your page. Can you post a URL?

Need Help with DW 5.5 spry menu bars.

I was given an unopened/registered Creative Suite 5.5 a couple days ago so I installed it and got to work on a website for my upcoming business. I got the home page finished, and so i saved it as a template to use for the remaining pages. But as soon as I click "save" my horizontal Spry Menu Bar becomes vertical at the top of my page. If i click on the Spryhorizontalmenu.css a message appears at the top of the screen that says something along the lines of "spryhorizontalmenu.css is not stored on local disk Get" but it will not let me access the link for help and I have been stumped for days. This is my first webpage and any help for this newbee would be very much appreciated.if you have questions please ask!!!

If horizontal is turning vertical, I have a feeling what is happening is that when you publish it, it's not connected to any style sheet -- or you have the style sheets in the wrong order.
Remember, with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) the last stylesheet trumps the earlier one. That's perfectly OK if there are no conflicts, but there may be some that can cause problems.
Thus, you'd be looking for:
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="navigation.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
If navigation.css is first, styles.css may be rewriting your styles for your spry navigation.
Now, I'm going to throw you a curve. Spry has been discontinued and it "going away." I recommend you learn how to make your own navigation and Spry is usually used for drop-down navigation. You can do that in straight HTML and CSS.
Take a look at my last reply in this forum discussion for a bunch of pretty cool "do it yourself" navigation tutorials.

***I need help with my SPRY MENU BAR***

Hi everyone,
I have installed a Horizontal and Vertical Spry Menu Bar.
It looks great, but I can not figure this out.

my text jumps to the righ

Help with a Spry Menu Bar

I'm having trouble with a Spry Menu Bar not displaying
correctly in Internet Explorer, while it displays fine in every
other browser I have available. I've done some searching on these
boards, but the queries I've found with the same type of problem
each has a knowledgeable person editing the code for the
poster...and I can't seem to make heads or tails of it.
So, below is my link. What you'll see if viewed in Explorer
is that the "Clinics" listing and the "Services & Specialties"
listing are each on the same horizontal line, rather than vertical
like the rest of the menu. If anyone can help me in correcting this
problem, I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks in advance.
http://www.chambershospital.com/temp/about.html

Hello,
You might try removing all of the <div> tags you
inserted in the menu.
This can happen if you select text in design view and use the
"align" icons
in the properties window instead of using CSS to align
things.
For example:
<li>
<div align="left"><<****REMOVE THIS
<a href="clinics.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Clinics</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="clinic.html">Chambers
Clinic</a></li>
<li><a href="clinic7.html">Scenic 7
Clinic</a></li>
</ul>
</div><<*** REMOVE THIS
</li>
So it looks like this:
<li><a href="clinics.html"
class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">Clinics</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="clinic.html">Chambers
Clinic</a></li>
<li><a href="clinic7.html">Scenic 7
Clinic</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
Repeat for all the other <div align="left"> and
</div> tags in the menu.
Take care,
Tim

CS4 Help with spry menu bar. Want Top Centered and Subs left-justified.

Hi there, using DW8 mostly, but have the trial version of CS4
for the spry menu bar. WinXP.
Can someone help me with the spry menu bar on this page? I'd
like the main menu to be centered, as it looks better for
appearance, and the sub menus to be left-justified.
http://www.manmeetswoman.com/example4.html
But I can't seem to do that, if I make the main menu
centered, it seems to override the submenus even if I make a class
just for the submenu to be left-justified.
Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible?
And the menu bar looks horrific in IE6. I assume it looks ok
in IE7 and above. Can someone help me with a code just for IE6 for
this?

audio90 wrote:
Not quite what I was looking for. I'm wanting the top menu to be grouped together and to the right and the submenu boxes to all a single square box, not just with backgrounds extending only the length of the word. Also, your menu bar doesn't display properly in IE6 either.
1) You should be able to achieve a square box for your submenu items by fixing the widths of all of your submenu items to something larger than the content of your widest submenu <li> tag. This should be achievable with a single change of setting in the following CSS rule.
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li {
width:???em;
Set your width using em units, so that the box shrinks and grows with the size of the text when the latter is changed by the user.
2) Getting your top menu items to group together to the right may be more difficult as the entire menu bar is built on an HTML list structure with left-floated <li> tags. If it is possible, then you should begin your experimentation with the following CSS rule
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li {
float:right;
Change the float property from left to right, as I have indicated.
My suspicion, however, is that many subsequent adjustments will have to be made. So, back up your current CSS file before you begin.

Help with spry menu bar in liquid layout

I need help getting a spry menu bar with a 6-item list to stay in place in a liquid layout. Trying to get it horizontally under the header image. I am new to web design (new to html and code: reading books, searching web, and doing tutorials for many hours now), using CS4, working on a mac. You can view my trial page on cc-tn.com. I would appreciate any help offered!

Problem stems from the fact that your page is looking for files contained on your local hard drive instead of the web site.

<link href="file:///Macintosh HD/Users/Allison/CC Web/Templates/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
In addition, the links to PDF files are pointing to your local hard drive.

Help with Spry Menu Bar 2.0 (vers. 1.0) - Placement of customized styles files

Hello:
I would like to congratulate the authors of the new Spry Menu Bar Framework 2.0 (vers. 1.0) -- it has truly been an advance and over the previous generation, and is much more user friendly for those without extensive knowledge of the spry framework. I have also appreciated the tutorial created by David Powers that is found on the Adobe labs site, and find that it has been very helpful.
However, I do have one general question that I would seek some clarification before completing the task of deploying the widget in its final form. I have gone beyond the tutorial insofar as I have customized the styling to allow me to use background images for the menus and submenus in both static and hover states. I have also gone directly (with add of the tutorial) to work on my own site rather than recreating the bayside tutorial. I know have my styles embedding into a template page (.dwt).
My question is whether those styles embedded in the head of the template page should be transferred to a separate styles page and attached (or possibly included in the styles page that handles the CSS for the layout aspects of my site), or whether it should overwrite the styles included in the basic styles skin for the widget. The latter seems the most likely answer, as many of the classes are for the same names as those in my template page, but have different (and conflicting settings). However I wanted to make certain of this before proceeding.
Once again let me thank those responding to this query in advance for the helpful tips I have received along the way, and that will likely follow this post.
I could post the css and the html with this querry, but I hope I have explained the question well enough that a general response will be all that I need.
Thanks again for the help.
Steve Webster

Thanks for your helpful response.
I had already tried the various options (overwriting basic styles, skins, etc) and quickly learned to back track as they were definitely not the answer to the question I posed. I then included them in the customized style sheet for the entire site and clearly de-marked them as styles governing the spry menu widget 2.0 (1.0) with the warning that future developers working on the site should use care in amending them, and warning that they be remain included in the general styles file.
I was going to indicate in response to my own query that this seemed to be the best practice, but your response confirmed what I had learned.
Thanks once again for your helpful advice and intervention.
Steve Webster.

Spry Menu Bar Editing Links PLEASE HELP

Ok I am a new user and this is my first site and I have a question regarding creating links in the spry menu bar.
I created my home page with a spry menu bar and I have begun creating pages to link to my home page.
My question is when I navigate to another page from my home page my spry menu bar on the second page does not have the links set for the spry menu. Do I have to input all the links again on each additional page or is there an easier way to copy from my home page.
I am creating an online store and my homepage menu bar has over thirty links to products pages. Each page has the original banner and spry menu bar from my home page but the links arent set on any of the products pages. Do I have to go into each one of my thirty pages and create the thirty links to the other pages? and if that is the case what if I want to change or add additional links to the home page for new products launching? Do I have to update the links and spry menu bar on all of the additional pages as well?
If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Any answer would be helpful even if its not the one I want.

If you're not using DW Templates to spawn site pages or Server-Side Includes for sitewide menus, you definitely must edit each menu on each page and upload to your server. Tedious.
Server-Side Includes are a huge time saver. Learn to use them.

Spry Menu Bar Vertical Help

Since the site isn’t online yet I posted my project for downloading. I am using Dreamweaver CS4.
For the website I am creating I would like to have a spry menu bar. I have been trying to figure this out but I can’t do it. The main file I am working with is named “theme_02_design.html” which is found in the Publish folder inside of In Play by Heather Ashley Inc. As you can see there is a left navigation area with 3 items listed (Home, Products, and Contact Us). I would like to change this into a vertical spry menu bar. Every time I try to do this the page is distorted in some way or another. I would like the menu on the left of the screen to look the same but with the vertical spry menu bar functions.
When someone visits the page I would like them to hover over the word products and have a submenu with multiple items.
It would look something like this...
Home
Products - submenu - Warm Up Series (I would insert a submenu here as well)
Contact Us                   Lace Up Hooded Sweatshirt
                                    Fleece Name Pants
                                    Shorts
                                    Accessories
                                    Shell Colors
                                    Trim Colors (I would insert a submenu here as well)
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I fiddled around with your file. I will attach the zip of your files.
Take a look at your page. I commented out your original navigation and added a Vertical Spry Menu Bar.
You will have to do some more adjusting, but I copied portions of your own CSS file into the Spry Menu Bar CSS.
See what you can do with it.
