Spry Menu Bar - No Formatting

Question

I build several sites on Dreamweaver CS3. I decided I wanted to add Spry Menu Bar to one of them.  When I try, I get no formatting at all, just a list of text menu items.  Everything else is normal, but there is no menu bar, it displays instead as something between code and display.  It previews that way, too.  So, I tried inserting the bar on other sites, and it works fine.  On the site I am trying to insert the bar, when I try to insert it takes a long, long time for the wrong thing to turn up.  On the other sites, the bar inserts immediately.  Anyone else run into this?  I've checked all the site properties, and nothing I find suggests a fix.  I'm totally stumped.

Answer 1

I assume you have checked the obvious:  correct route to the JS and CSS files?  Make sure you have each of the core elements and that the correct paths to such; my guess is that you are missing the final item below.  The below are from http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html (scroll down the page to "Insert the Menu Bar Widget").  Make sure you have all 10 items/steps completed as explained within that article.
In the header:
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
After the script:
<script type="text/javascript">
     var menubar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("menubar1");
</script>
