Spry Menu Bar move positions

Hi,
I've made a v. simple website www.uniquereject.co.uk but I am having problems getting the vertical menu bar to stay close to the left border. The menu bar is in the correct position on the homepage, yet when you navigate to any of the content pages- the bar moves inside away from the border. It's more of an annoyance than a major problem but it doesn't look consistent.
Thank you.

Hi,
playing a little bit with your "SpryMenuBarVertical.css"
ul.MenuBarVertical
/* margin: 0;*/
margin-left:-25px;
padding: 0;
I got this:
There may even simpler solutions, this certainly led us quickly to the desired goal.Hans-G.

  • How to remove empty space in CSS table and move spry menu bar?

    Hello! I created www.stonecreekha.com about a year ago basically by watching youtube tutorials and haven't done much with it since so I've forgotten everything! In IE7, everything appears as it should; but in Firefox and IE8, the spry menu bar is positioned slightly higher than it should be (it slightly cuts off the foot of the golfer) and there is an empty space between the navigation bar and the photo. The source code can be viewed from the website. Here are some pics:
    IE7 - how it is supposed to look:
    IE8:
    Firefox:
    Dreamweaver:
    So basically, I need to know how to remove that empty space between the navigation bar and the picture, and how to move the spry menu bar down a few pixels, in a way that it looks correct in IE8 and Firefox, and preferably IE7 as well.
    P.S. I'm a noob so if you could be as specific as possible on what to do in Dreamweaver I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

    I belive it's because of the -minus margin being used on the navbar, that you will need to use a negative margin to bring up both the left and right bodyArea divs.
    Try :       margin-top: -18px;  on both divs.  You may need to play around with that to get it more precise.
    Again, not sure what effect that has on IE as I can't test it.
    If it affects IE, then you may need to feed IE a conditional comment for the placement of those divs.

  • 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.
    Ted
    site is located here http://www.subzerorefrigeration.com 
    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 &lt;br class=&quot;clearfloat&quot; /&gt; or &lt;div  class=&quot;clearfloat&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; 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>

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

  • Spry Menu Bar disappears absolute position

    Hello all this is my first time posting on this site so bear with me. I have a semi-transperant spry menu bar that i inserted into the header div, over an image. I moved the menu bar -38px, when the position is set to relative the menu bar is visible, however the old position of the menu bar has a blank white space there. I think this is due to the relative position property. When i change it to absolute the whole menu bar disappears? http://www.brightlikethesun.com/index2.html (the position is back to relative to show the menu bar and also background for header is blue to show the space)

    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.
    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.

        <p><img src="BLTS2.jpg" alt="BLTS" width="411" height="297" align="left" /><img src="BLTS font.jpg" width="340" /> is a Post-Rock band from San Antonio. They were born in early 2012 from the collective desire to make beautiful, thought provoking, and at times, chaotic music. Much like fellow Texan bands like Explosions in the Sky and This Will Destroy You, they are entirely instrumental, and known for creating progressively intricate waves of ambiance that grow with intensity and an unabashed wash of emotion. Attuned to their affinity for dynamics, seeing them live takes the listener from deafening walls of orchestrated sound, to melodies so subtle that one finds themselves acutely aware of their own breathing. <br />
          Bright Like The Sun&rsquo;s debut album, Coda Fin, was engineered/mixed by Alex Bhore (of This Will Destroy You), and mastered by TW Walsh (of Pedro The Lion). The record, which was self released, was made available on April 12, 2013.<br /><br /><img src="BLTS3.jpg" width="330" height="245" align="right" /></p>

    What I see:
    You need a width on the ul.MenuBarVertical style. Make it the same width as the ul.MenuBarVertical li selector.
    Remove the float: none; from this style:
    ul.MenuBarVertical ul li
         width: 12em;
         float: none;
    No such measurement as a half a pixel:
    ul.MenuBarVertical ul
         border: .5px solid #CCC;
    If you want a border, 1px is minimum...you repeat this incorrect half-pixel in several places.

  • Spry Menu Bar Positioning Problem in IE

    I have a Dreamweaver-created Spry Menu Bar drop down menu which works perfectly in every browser on my Mac and on my PC . . . EXCEPT Internet Explorer (who woulda thunk it?!!)
    In all browsers except for IE, the 3 submenu items under "Door Systems" and "Gallery" appear exactly as they should in a vertical row, positioned just below the brown line below the navigation links and all the same width. But in IE they appear higher up and with different widths. IE is ignoring the rules for width and position.
      <ul id="MenuBar2" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
        <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="closet_doors_gallery.html">DOOR SYSTEMS</a>
          <ul>
            <li><a href="sliding_doors_nyc_nj.html">DOOR PROFILES</a></li>
            <li><a href="bifold_doors_nyc_nj.html">PANELS COLORS</a></li>
            <li><a href="room_dividers_nyc_nj.html">DOOR SYSTEM TYPES</a></li>
          </ul>
        </li>
      </ul>
    <ul id="MenuBar3" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
        <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">GALLERY </a>
          <ul>
            <li><a href="#">SLIDING DOORS</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">BI-FOLD DOORS</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">ROOM DIVIDERS</a></li>
          </ul>
        </li>
      </ul>
    Here is the page where you can see the problem if you view it with IE, and see that it's  fine in Safari, and Firefox,    Chrome and Opera, Mac or PC:

    Hi and thank you very much. It was a little confusing as to whether you meant to add the rules you suggested or to replace them, or a combination of both, but I puzzled it out. I created a new MenuBarHorizontal.css file in a blank page and then made the changes you suggested and it works! Yay! I had to do a bit of tweaking to get it to look just the way I wanted, but it now works correctly in ie 7 and 8 and still works fine in everything else.
    Interestingly enough, I had to change the margin-top: 63px; rule in "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible" to 40px to get it positioned properly vertically, and I had to get rid of the "border-bottom: solid 1px #EEE;" in "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li", which caused the submenu items to have quite a lot of vertical space between them - I'm not sure why!
    I also had to get rid of all the syling rules in the "SUBMENU INDICATION: styles if there is a submenu under a given menu item" section, as well as the one you added: "ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenu {
        padding: 0.5em 2em 0.5em 0.75em;"
    With that done, it works great in both ie7 and ie8, so thank you for the help. Below is the new css that works, in total.
    Not being as familiar with the subtleties of CSS as you and many others obviously are, I'm REALLY curious as to exactly what is different that causes this to work now, and would be happy to hear your expanation, if you feel like taking the time to explain. If not, no problem - it works and that is the most important thing! So, thank you again -

  • Spry Menu Bar 2.0 and positioning of arrows

    Hello again,
    I'm now trying to incorporate Spry Menu Bar 2.0 into a client site, using CS6. Two things are occurring: in Live View, for long lines of menu text, the text wraps to a second line (as I would prefer) and the arrows to submenus line up in a readable fashion. But when I view it in IE or Firefox, the text spills outside (off to the right) of the vertical menu container and the submenu arrows are hidden underneath the text. As far as width, I've tried auto and inherit.
    So, out of frustration I finally decided I would just shorten my menu text to solve the spilling over problem, and  a set pixel width that accommodated my longest line of text. But still, even if the text just fills the container, the arrow is hidden underneath the text. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to adjust the positioning of the arrow so that it's off to the far right, as it should be. I assume it is this set of rules that controls the arrow:
    .MenuBarVertical .MenuItemWithSubMenu .MenuItemLabel{
        background-image:url("images/ArrowMenuRight.gif");
        background-position:right center;
        background-repeat:no-repeat;
    .MenuBar .SubMenu .MenuItemWithSubMenu .MenuItemLabel{
        background-image:url("images/ArrowMenuRight.gif");
        background-position:right center;
        background-repeat:no-repeat;
    .MenuBar .SubMenu .MenuItemHover.MenuItemWithSubMenu .MenuItemLabel{
        background-image:url("images/ArrowMenuRight.gif");
        background-position:right center;
        background-repeat:no-repeat;
    ...but I don't know how to adjust these to bump the arrow over. Any ideas out there?
    Ideally, I'd like to get back to wrapping my menu text as well, and I don't understand why it appears this way in Live View but not in a browser. But I'll settle for the arrow in the correct position as second prize. Thanks for your help,
    Gail

    OK, here's what I've done. By adjusting the right padding on #MenuBarVertical .MenuItem .MenuItemLabel, AND #MenuBarVertical .SubMenu .MenuItem .MenuItemLabel, I was able to position the right arrows to where I wanted them. I also removed all links from top-level menu items so that the fly-out submenus would appear on a touch screen. You can see the results on my client site: www.gcssepm.org. I must say that this solution was not intuitive; it took a lot of experimentation to figure out which rule to adjust, and menu rules vs. submenu rules seem to operate in the opposite manner as far as padding and arrows go.
    I do have a similar issue with Scott, in that it takes two or more "taps" to get the submenus to fly out, but at least the arrow is there so the user knows there is a submenu to be had. The only real issue I still have is that for sub-submenus (i.e., third-level), no amount of tapping will get those to display long enough to select them (only an issue on the iPad). I don't know a way around this for the iPad, other than to also eliminate all links from second-level menus that have a third level, and that's more reprogramming than I want to do for today.
    Final questions regarding the Spry 2.0 widget. Obviously, after I customized the widget, saved it, and imported into my site template, it took some additional tweaking before everything was working properly. Is there a way to export the settings back out to the widget, so that all the tweaking is there? Also, is there a way to save my menu text back to the widget, because it is obviously NOT Home, Entertainment, Music, etc.
    Thanks for all your help, and I hope someone else benefits from my experiences as well.

  • Spry Menu Bar killed by absolute/relative positioning

    I have a Spry Menu Bar that works beautifully on most pages
    of my site, but it does not function at all – not even the
    top-level links – on
    this
    page where I have used relative and absolute positioning of
    other objects to create CSS image rollovers.
    If I comment out the link to the CSS file, the menu bar works
    normally. Also, if I comment out any of the positioning rules in
    the CSS file, the menu bar functions as usual – but I want my
    image rollovers.
    I have tried giving the other elements a lower z-index, and a
    higher z-index, but this did not help. Any ideas?

  • Problem with spry menu bar position:fixed?

    Hello technical heros,
    I'm having trouble with my website's spry menu bar... here is the site.
    As you can see, when you scroll down, the spry menu overlaps the header fixed block, which the rest of the content smoothly scrolls under. How do I tell the spry object to do the same?
    I also want the sidebar 2 (menu bar) to be a fixed block like my header and footer. I know how to do this, but when I change the css, it throws my spry menu over to the left of the page, ontop of my sidebar 1.
    Help, please!!

    Hi,
    Have a look here: http://www.w3schools.com/Css/css_positioning.asp
    I hope this helps.

    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.

  • Question: My spry menu bar is not displaying correctly in Dreamweaver

    Hello,
    I am  new to Dreamweaver CS5, so coding isn't my area of expertise. My problem with my spry menu bar is that it does not display the tabs on the menu bar correctly. When I try to apply new changes to the CSS of the horizontal menu bar, half of the tabs will change and the other half will not. Also, I am unable to drag and move the menu bar itself around, a function that I was once able to do before. At times, only one tab of the menu bar will display itself, without any of the other tabs as well.
    I have a hunch that my problems stem from some coding errors in the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, and possibly in the SpryMenuBar.js. On the CSS Styles panel, my SpryMenuBarHorizontal.CSS list reads as follows:
    I also have a hunch that something about this line-up is also incorrect, but I don't exactly know what the problem is.
    Here is what my coding for my SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css looks like right now:

    SpryMenuBar.js
    This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar.  You should have no need
    to edit this file.  Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
    used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
    menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
    showing that submenu until the timer fires.
    (function() { // BeginSpryComponent

    Spry.BrowserSniff = function()

    If anyone could possibly steer me on the right direction with this, I'd be very grateful! I've been struggling with this for about a month now and I feel like I may have only made the situation worse.
    I'm not sure if I have to keep making a new spry assets folder in my website or not or if I have to drag and drop the spry assets into the root folder. I have restarted my website over at least a dozen times by now. I have tried changing folders, dragging and dropping various spry assets folders everywhere and I have also uninstalled and reinstalled my copy of Dreamweaver CS5 in the hopes of getting my spry horizontal menu bar to act normal. I am completely new at Dreamweaver and I really, really need some help with this.
    Thanks!

    I haven't been able to get my site posted up yet. Here is a link to it anyway:andrearosales.com
    I will be working on connecting my files up to my server. At the moment, here are some screen shots of some messages that I am getting when I am saving my file.
    I'm not sure what to make of these messages. I tried to put a new spry horizontal menu bar on my main page, and when it appeared, it displayed as a spry vertical menu bar.
    Here is a picture of what it looks like:
    I"m going to refer to the links that were suggested to me though. I'm not sure if pictures of the code will help to solve my problem. I'm going to try again to connect my files to my server though.

    Sorry if it's something really basic...I'm a noob to web design.
    Thanks!

    Don't use reserved words in JS
    var event = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("events.xml", "catalog/event", {sortOnLoad: "date", sortOrderOnLoad: "descending"});
    event is such a reserved word. If you change this to event1 then all is well.
    I hope this helps.

  • 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!

    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!
    Stephi

  • SPRY menu bar not working in IE 9

    Hey! I recently just finished building my very first website using Dreamweaver CS5.5!  It looks really great and works perfectly in firefox and safari however the SPRY menu bar does not work in IE 8 or 9. Does anyone know what i can do to fix this without messing up how the website looks in firefox and safari?
    thanks,
    Toby

    SpryMenuBar.js
    This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar.  You should have no need
    to edit this file.  Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
    used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
    menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
    showing that submenu until the timer fires.

  • Spry Menu Bar Submenus Not Showing

    Hi!
    This is the first time I have ever used Spry .My Horizontal Spry Menu Bar Submenus are not working in ANY browsers whatsoever and I'm not sure whats wrong. My website is www.poor2chic.com. I have pasted a copy of my SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css as well as the .js code and the source code :
    @charset "UTF-8";
    /* SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css - version 0.6 - Spry Pre-Release 1.6.1 */
    /* Copyright (c) 2006. Adobe Systems Incorporated. All rights reserved. */
    LAYOUT INFORMATION: describes box model, positioning, z-order
    /* 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

    width: 8.55em;
    float: left;
    /* Submenus should appear below their parent (top: 0) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */

    /* Menu item containers are same fixed width as parent */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li
    width: 8.2em;

    DESIGN INFORMATION: describes color scheme, borders, fonts
    /* Submenu containers have borders on all sides */
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul

    ul.MenuBarHorizontal a

    padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
    color: #FFF;

    SUBMENU INDICATION: styles if there is a submenu under a given menu item
    /* Menu items that have a submenu have the class designation MenuBarItemSubmenu and are set to use a background image positioned on the far left (95%) and centered vertically (50%) */

    BROWSER HACKS: the hacks below should not be changed unless you are an expert

    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 */

    SpryMenuBar.js
    This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar.  You should have no need
    to edit this file.  Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
    used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
    menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
    showing that submenu until the timer fires.

  • Spry Menu bar mouse-over?

    Hi there,
    I have created a spry menu bar and it's almost finished but I am having trouble with these 2 things:
    1. Only the buttons that have submenus change when the mouse pointer moves over it. This happened when I applied a background image to the buttons.
    2. I don't want the background image to be applied to the submenu items. I want those to have just 1 color and another color when the mouse pointer moves over it. (If this last part isn't possible, I would just like the first part to happen: I want it to have a color and not the background image that I applied)
    Could you please have a look at my CSS and tell me what I did wrong? Or what I should add?
    Thank you very very much.
