Spry Menu bar looks OK in Live View, not browser

I'm trying to insert a Spry menu bar in an existing site to replace one previously built with an F-source product. There is a Flash movie above the menu bar. It looks fine in Live View, but when I look at it in a browser, it expands to about ten times its height with only the last menu item visible (out of nine). It also displaces the Flash movie to the left and up. Any idea what's causing this, and how to fix it? Thanks for any help you can provide!
Live View:
Browser View:

Thanks for your help. I tried to add the code above the menu bar (you didn't specify whether to add before the body tag) but it didn't help in either location.
I've uploaded the page in question to the site. You can access the page via http://www.acsi-cybersa.com/index2.html
If you back up to the "www.acsi-cybersa.com" URL, you will see a working homepage with an f-source menu that is acting a bit squirrely, and which I am trying to replace with the Spry menu. The URL above "index2.html" is the working replacement for the home page.
If you can figure out what's happening with the Spry menu and how to fix it, I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks, Dan

Results look different in Live View and Browser Lab

I'm using CS5 and am using absolute positioning to place an image. It looks great in Live View, but when I open Browser Lab it has shifted dramatically. Any ideas what's going on and with view should I trust. Thanks.

Hi Jalynoble,
We've tried to repro the issue you describe, but haven't been able to, so it must be something specific to your page. Can you provide us with a URL or package up and email the source code for the page with this issue so we can look into it?
You can post the url here, or email the files to [email protected]
Thanks,

My Spry Menu bar is different in design view and when I preview in Browser.

When in design view my Spry Meny Bar is horizontal like I chose. But when I preview it in browser it appears as just type verically down the side of the screen. With no boxes around it. Please help.

Did you define a local site folder in DW before you began your project?

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?

Have a look at lines 212 and 213 which read as follows

<link href="file://///SNCentral/Home/akaniecki/My Documents/Web Site Root Folder/Templates/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
The red part shows the URL to the files. However, these files point to your locahost.
In your template, The links should look like

<link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Also make sure that the files do exist in the remote SpryAssets folder.

Spry Menu Bar renders wrong in IE

My horizontal spry menu bar looks great in all browsers but IE. Even though I have fixed widths on the submenus, it creates a huge container box that takes up the width of the screen in IE. PLEASE -- I'm desperate!!

Although, I did download IE-Tester which allows you to test in different IE versions and it does not seen to work there?
IE-tester shows that you have got a problem 0n line #102. Unfortunately, the tester cannot be relied upon reflecting the correct line number. There is a problem on line #27 where there is no space in front of "type="
<script src="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBar.js"type="text/javascript"></script>
and line #86 where there is no space before "rel="
<link href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBarVertical.css"rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Now for my next problem, and if I can get this working I should be in fairly good shape. I had made some formatting changes (centered the menu bar, and made some color changes) See below, however those are now not working..Normally, when a question has been answered, it is marked as correct and any new questions are asked in a new post.
However, you caught me in a good mood, just signed contracts for three new projects one as far away as Switserland.
Lines #27 and #28 look like
<script src="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBar.js"type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBarVertical.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Lines #84 and #86 look like
<script src="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBarVertical.css"rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
This may not confuse the browser, but it is not very conducive. Remove either set of links.
When I look at SpryMenuBarVertical.css
change the value of line 16 to auto, has not been done
starting at line 81, change the highlighted values, has not been done
So it is no wonder there are no changes.

What replaces the CS6 spry menu bar in dreamweaver creative cloud 2014?

Hi,
Previously I used Dreamweaver CS6 and the spry menu bar widget (horizontal). I do not see this in Dreamweaver CC 2014. I am looking around in the Insert Panel (jQuery UI) but don't think a spry menu bar equivalent is listed.
Is there such an equivalent built into Dreamweaver CC 2014?

Creating multiple Spry menu bars in one site

I've been creating a website and I am required to use multiple templates to manage all the different sections of the site. To make it much less of a hassle, once I created one template, I simply saved that template as another template so I would not have to start all over again. On the first template I created a spry menu bar with a certain amount of buttons. And because I created the other templates with that template, those templates had the same menu bar containing the same settings. The problem is, because of the specified settings of the spry menu bar, if I change the amount of buttons from the original to one less, the whole bar on that template will get off center and messed up because the settings for the menu bar are not set to that certain amount of buttons, but if I change the settings to suite that amount of buttons, then the settings for all the templates change and that messes up the other menu bars on those templates because they have a different amount of buttons. Currently my templates all contain 10 buttons and I am wanting to create a new menu bar with only about 4 - 6 buttons. I thought going up to insert and inserting a brand new menu bar would do the trick but when I did that it inserted a menu bar that had all the settings of the already-created menu bar, (ie same background images, and hovers, etc.) as well as the width which, because the width is suited for 10 buttons, it does not properly make the default 4 button menu bar center correctly. And if I try to change the settings on this menu bar then the same thing happens with everything changing and getting messed up.
So after this long explanation, my question is, how can I insert multiple spry menu bars into one site that are not correlated with each other in terms of all the settings so that when changed, will not affect each other? I am guessing I am having this problem because I created all the templates from one template so they are all interlocked, but the page that I tried to insert the brand new menu bar on was not created from any of the templates and was the first page I made at the very start.
http://phonytrojanmusic.zxq.net/ Here is the link to the site. The first page that opens up is the page that I tried to insert the brand new menu bar on. If you click on band choir or elementary you will see the menu bars with 10 buttons that are all interlocked in terms of settings. Also, I'd like to note that if I delete a button in one template, it does not delete that same button in the other templates, nor does it add a button to the other templates if I add one. Only the physical appearance changes because the settings are meant for only one amount of buttons. Sorry for the novel!

Alright well I just tried to use 2 complete different templates. I created one brand new template from scratch, added the menu bar, gave it an ID of "band", and configured it to suite 10 buttons accordingly. Then I started off from scratch again with a starting html page with a different css style sheet and added the menu bar and gave it a different ID of "choir" but the settings of the two different bars still act as one set of settings! I dont know how to fix this problem. Please tell me what to post if anything will help you. Im guessing the solution is very simple but I have tried everything.
here is the code for the two different menu bars (one in each template)

I currently do not have any links attached to any of the buttons in the choir bar. Something went wrong and now I have to make the whole site over again so it is not very accessible. Please post back asap!

How to show active page in Spry Menu Bar using images

Hi,
I have already read this answer "how to show active page in spry menu bar" but I am using images, not text. I have mouse-over and mouse-out working in the Spry Menu Bar using image.png and image-over.png, but I cant' figure out how to get the image-over.png to appear on the active page since the spry menu bar is locked on the individual pages. (I tried to put it in an editable comment, but spry wouldn't go for it. :-)
Any ideas. Here is the code:
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
       <li><a href="../index.html" id="home" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image8','','../images/all_pages/home-over.png',1 )"><img src="../images/all_pages/home.png" alt="Home Page" name="home" width="58" height="20" border="0" id="Image8" /></a></li>

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 not visible in live view

Hi everyone,
I was just working on the css for my spry menu bar and went to check it out in the live view, but it is no longer visible. I checked it out in Safari and Firefox to no avail. It looks totally fine in the design view in Dreamweaver. I'm new to web design and I have no idea what I did, but I'm really hoping someone here does! Below is the CSS.

My guess is that you have a dark background in which case the menu items will not be seen.
I suggest you have a look here first http://www.dwcourse.com/dreamweaver/ten-commandments-spry-menubars.php#one, then resurrect the original SpryMenuBarVertical.css and change as required.

Javascript error when selecting Spry Menu Bar in Design View

Hi there,
I get the following error message when trying to format the Spry Menu Bar in Design View:
"while executing inspectSelection in spry_menu.htm, a Javascript error occurred."
I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:
deleting site cache
closing/re-opening Dreamweaver
deleting Spry Menu Bar and recreating - same error occurs.
Other information:
I am using a MacBook Pro
it happens when clicking on the Menu Bar itself. I just want to change the properties
the Spry Menu Bar does not appear in Live View.
Here is a link to my site on Browserlab. It has not yet been published:
https://browserlab.adobe.com/en-us/index.html#zoom=100;state=use;view=0;url=dreamweaver%3A %2F%2Fsite%3AHope%2520Against%2520Hope%2FHAH_home.html;browsers=WXPIE6000%2CWXPIE9000%2COS XFF7000%2COSXSF5000%2CWXPCH14000
Is it a case of changing one of the values in the spry_menubar.js file?
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Charlie

Hi there,
The problem appears to have returned. I am getting the same error message as before and also an error saying there is a syntax error in my source code. Dreamweaver tells me which line the error is in:
var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("hope_menu", {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif", imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"});
In response to your earlier questions/points:
I am using version 0.13 of SpryMenuBar.js (is this what you mean?)
The menu now shows in Live View as I would expect it to
Here is a link to my published site:

Do you have any further advice?

Thanks a lot for that tip. It does improve it by a whole lot.. i c what my mistake was.. however, something is still off
.. The Drop down menu is not behaving well...
As you may c by the picture, the drop down menu now moves to the right. and is not because of the object to its left, i've modified that. Zinger Products Drop Down Menu also does the same.

Spry Menu bar is being stubborn

I am trying to put a horizontal Spry menu bar in my header. Here is the code that, to me looks like it is in the header:
<div id="header">
<h1>Beer Diary</h1>
<ul id="header_navi" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
   <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">Add Beer</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">BJCP</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">Sites</a></li>
</ul>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</div>
Here is all the CSS script that, I think, affects the menu:
/* The outermost container of the Menu Bar, an auto width box with no margin or padding */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style-type: none;
    font-size: 100%;
    cursor: default;
    width: auto;
/* Set the active Menu Bar with this class, currently setting z-index to accomodate IE rendering bug: http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/meuk/IE-zindexbug.html */
ul.MenuBarActive
    z-index: 1000;
/* 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: 8em;
    float: right;
I have no clue what's going on. Here are some screen snap shots of the outcome:
The above image is from Firefox. This is also the Live View view. The brown behind the navi bar is the container div.
In the second image, which is the Design view, it appears that the navi is in the header.
Any tips?
Also, on an aside- if you have a tip of making the red sidebar go all the way down to the footer, that be great too!
Thanks,
Gregg

Spry menu bar in firefox not telescoping main li horizontally

I am having trouble with my spry menu bar in firefox and chrome not telescoping horizontally. In IE8 they tile horizontally but in firefox(3.6.10) and chrome(6.0.472.63) they stay tiled vertically.
Example:
IE8
[menu1][menu2][menu3][menu4][menu5]
FF and Chrome
[menu1]
[menu2]
[menu3]
[menu4]
[menu5]
I do not think that it is the css due to it not telescoping when I view it in live view in dreamweaver cs4. SO I am thinking it is someting in the javascript that is just for IE.
ANy help or a push in the right direction would be great.

Spry.Widget.MenuBar.stopPropagation = function(ev)
    if (ev.stopPropagation)
        ev.stopPropagation();
    else
        ev.cancelBubble = true;
    if (ev.preventDefault)
        ev.preventDefault();
    else
        ev.returnValue = false;
Spry.Widget.MenuBar.setOptions = function(obj, optionsObj, ignoreUndefinedProps)
    if (!optionsObj)
        return;
    for (var optionName in optionsObj)
        if (ignoreUndefinedProps && optionsObj[optionName] == undefined)
            continue;
        obj[optionName] = optionsObj[optionName];
Any help would be appreciated

Firefox and IE and you will see that the issues are still present.

Spry Menu bar looks OK in Live View, not browser
