Spry menu bar -- only one of the submenus of a drop down set works.

I created a spry drop-down menu bar for navigation within my site for a special event (on October 19). Most items have only one filie (e.g., tickets) but some of the items (e.g., Historic Homes) have up to 8 sub-items.
I renamed the spry file. I defined all my menu and sub menu items using the dialog box. I styled the bar for both basic state and "hover."
So far, so good.
I then created multiple new pages by using "Save As" (the original menu bar file)-- substituting appropriate text to to make the additional item and sub item files.
But when I link it all up and test it, only ONE of the submenus work. The menu disappears from the other sub menu pages when I navigate to them. Users can't get back to the original menu choices..
This is the first time with a Spry Menu bar.
Can you help?

Without seeing your code, I'm guessing your lists and sub-lists are not properly coded. Check your HTML & CSS with the validation tools below:

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!

Vertical spry menu bar 2.0 - orientation of submenus (left vs. right fly-out)

Hello:
I have a general question I would like to pose to anyone who has worked with the vertical spry 2.0 menu bar regarding the orientation of sub-menus (left vs. right flyout). In the previous version of the spry menu bar it was possible to to designate that the flyout sub-menus would appear to the left (as opposed to the right (normal or standard position) of the main level menu bar.
In reviewing the tutorials for the new version, and reviewing the settings for the widget I can't seem to see anything similar for the latest version of the spry menu bar. Does anyone now if this is possible? Does it require adjustments to the Javascript or can it be done directly from within the widget customization.
I realize that it isn't normal practice to pose questions in such general terms, however I thought I would try to determine if anyone has had experience in this regard before launching into the project.
Thanks in advance.
Steve Webster

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 display problem on the MAC

Hello!
I'm having issues with spry menu bar not displaying properly
on the mac browser.
i474.photobucket.com/albums/rr104/nastasia_20/DSC02618.jpg
it should look like this
s3.amazonaws.com/sitevista/c356ba1e-7f66-4cec-9b41-bc90b86455ee1773886_IE7.png
You can find the page here : www.
siia-design.com/eco_totes/modern_mums.html
Any ideas what is wrong?
Thank you

Not an issue any more. I re-loaded the site w/o the menu bar
after I made the original post (as you saw) because of the
incompatibility issue I was having between Spry and IE6 & 7.
Before that, I first updated Spry, re-loaded the page with Spry
menu and still had the same IE 6 & 7 issue. Frankly, I simply
gave up on Spry, due to time constraints in getting a new site
layout operational (today was my deadline). From what I've read on
these and and other forums, Spry does not play well with IE,
especially IE7. Unfortunately for me, I don't use IE at all, so
rely on Dreamweaver's compatibility check to tell me if all is
well. Why Spry works so well on Safari, Firefox and Netscape, and
not on IE, is beyond me. Thanks, anyway for your comment. Much
appreciated.

Spry Menu Bar acting crazy

I am not a coder and have used DW in the past to create relatively simple websites. I have a client who needs a horizontal nav bar with one of the buttons prompting a drop-down menu. First tried this using DM8 and then discovered the drop down menu behavior feature doesn't work in a template. So upgraded to DW CS5. Started to work with the Spry menu bar feature and was learning how to change font color, background color, hover color, add menu items, etc.... I noticed that whenever I tried inserted a new Spry menu bar it had the attributes of the most recent menu bar I created.
After working with the CSS menu I noticed that there seemed to be a division in each menu bar cell -- a small rectangular shape that I couldn't highlight but would affect how the bar looked in a browser. It almost looked like cell divisions in a table. The bar is horizontal with the text centered LtoR and top to bottom, but there was more space at the bottom of the menu bar due to this added "bar". Then when I inserted a new Spry menu I could barely see it. The menu, which included the default 4 fields/ buttoms was literally about 1" wide on my screen. I tried keying in a new pixel width and nothing would help until I got up to 900px.
To make an already long story short, the Spry feature is completely screwed up. Is there a preference I can trash to at least re-set it to how it was before I somehow screwed it up?
Any tips would be great.

You can delete the Spry support files from your Files Panel, thus eliminating the problem code.
Spry Menu 2.0 files use a different naming convention. You edit the menu styles inside Widget Browser's visual editor then save/export files to your local site folder.
The support files for Spry Menu 2.0 (aka Spry UI-1.7) look like this:
<link type='text/css' href='Spry-UI-1.7/css/Menu/basic/SpryMenuBasic.css' rel='stylesheet'/>
<script type='text/javascript' src='Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryMenu.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='Spry-UI-1.7/includes/plugins/MenuBar2/SpryMenuBarKeyNavigationPlugin.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='Spry-UI-1.7/includes/plugins/MenuBar2/SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js'></script>

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.

Is it possible to change the height of Spry Menu Bar items?

I'm new to websites and have been trying to understand the CSS of the Spry menu bar. I've managed to put a horizontal menu bar in place and with the help of some previous discussions in this forum, have changed the colours of the menu items and have even managed to centre the text - Thanks!
However, I really would like to have a smaller menu bar - height wise.
I've tried reducing the default height of the menu bar items by adding a height and by reducing the font size and padding. The results have been varied. In Firefox and in Dreamweaver's 'live view' there is still a thin line showing underneath my horizontal menu which is the background colour of the div my menu sits in. In IE there is a similar 'chunk missing' from the bottom of the items.
Is this something that can be done? I've seen lots of help on how to change the width of the items, but have not found any which suggest that the height can be changed.
Gill

Sure. You just need to be thorough. Keep in mind that in a Spry Menu Bar you are making the link-text in the list-items block elements, so you will want to change the line-height of the a element. Pick style selectors in the css stylesheet that end in a, with or without an additional class (a.classhere), and play with the line-height.
Another attribute you can consider is the difference in height between Cap and lower case and All caps. You can usually get away with a smaller line-height and a smaller font-size with all caps, because there are no descenders on the text to require more line-height. Keep in mind also that when you state a line-height, your text will center vertically in the line-height, as far as I know, so you might even get away without top and bottom padding.

Spry Menu bar wrongly displayed in IE

Hi,
on my website i integrated a Spry Menu bar with one Submenu, which really works fine in Firefox. The boxes have a defined width of 124 px.
My problem is, if you view this site with IE, the drop down menus don´t work and you are asked to activate activeX or scripts. If you do so the whole menu is displayed white unless you roll over the buttons, you can see what actually should be there. Another bug is that the submenus, are oriented horizontally instead of vertically.
Can anyone help me with this nice IE problem?
Thanks a lot !

Hi Ben,
thanks a lot for your great help. I integrated your recommendations in my sprymenubarhorizontal.css file and uploaded it.
When i preview the site in the browser (Dreamweaver -> Preview in Iexplorer) it all looks like it should.
However when i uploaded the new css file, the change is not visible. It´s still the old mistake.
What am i doing wrong? What i also wonder about is, that the css file has a size of 6.554 Bytes. When i upload it, it only has 6.353 bytes.
Can this be correct? Also the SpryMenuBar.js files are different in size.
Do you have any idae what the problem here is?
Thanks again !
Add: I just recognized that also my html. files are different in size. So i guess this is normal. But where is the mistake hiding? I´courious
Or could you pleas check again from your pc in iexplore? Thanks

Spry menu bar won't update when published

I am building a dreamweaver webpage though a template.
for some reason it will not change the spry menu bar to update the changes made to the links on it.
that and the links won't work on the website (i uploaded it to a test website).
I am not sure if it is the same problem.
I changed the links from site to document relative.
I also checked the codes in http://validator.w3.org/check and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ .
I also read this link and it didn't help me http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/paths-dreamweaver-templates.html .
Can someone help please!
Thank you

I am not sure why that will not upload to the site correctly.
I am uploading to a godaddy server. Is there a way I should be saving things (links and such) that I might be doing wrong? am I naming my links incorrectly? how do I make them so they will work once uploaded.
I followed the suggestions that you made and it looks like it is there but for somereason when i preview the page in a browser or live view the background image (parchment) doesn't show up on the screen.and the spry menu bar only comes up as an unordered list. I am not sure what would be causing this.
I have attached the code for 2 pages the first is the code of the template test file you suggested I make and the second is the code for the education connection page (this is a page that was made from the template and the background image is not working-i had this problem before but i thought it was fixed as the website has it fixed when i published it)

/* Settable values for skinning a Basic menu via presets. If presets are not sufficient, most skinning should be done in
    these rules, with the exception of the images used for down or right pointing arrows, which are in the file SpryMenuBasic.css
     These assume the following widget classes for menu layout (set in a preset)
    .MenuBar - Applies to all menubars - default is horizontal bar, all submenus are vertical - 2nd level subs and beyond are pull-right.
    .MenuBarVertical - vertical main bar; all submenus are pull-right.
    You can also pass in extra classnames to set your desired top level menu bar layout. Normally, these are set by using a preset.
    They only apply to horizontal menu bars:
        MenuBarLeftShrink - The menu bar will be horizontally 'shrinkwrapped' to be just large enough to hold its items, and left aligned
        MenuBarRightShrink - Just like MenuBarLeftShrink, but right aligned
        MenuBarFixedLeft - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedLeft', and left aligned.
        MenuBarFixedCentered - - Fixed at a specified width set in the rule '.MenuBarFixedCentered',
                        and centered in its parent container.
        MenuBarFullwidth - Grows to fill its parent container width.
    In general, all rules specified in this file are prefixed by #MenuBar so they only apply to instances of the widget inserted along
    with the rules. This permits use of multiple MenuBarBasic widgets on the same page with different layouts. Because of IE6 limitations,
    there are a few rules where this was not possible. Those rules are so noted in comments.

/* IE6 rules - you can delete these if you do not want to support IE6 */
/* A note about multiple classes in IE6.
* Some of the rules above use multiple class names on an element for selection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu" (MenuItemWithSubMenu),
* giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in a selector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6 ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets the specificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs as significant. To get around this
* problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.
* Since there are a lot of these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes for modern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class
* syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where
* it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden.
* So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule. We follow this with the single-class rule that it would
* mistakenly override, making sure the misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins.
* We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for
* the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the
* css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support.
* If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditional comments for these rules.

/* IE6 rules - you can delete these if you do not want to support IE6 */
/* A note about multiple classes in IE6.
* Some of the rules above use multiple class names on an element for selection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu" (MenuItemWithSubMenu),
* giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in a selector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6 ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets the specificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs as significant. To get around this
* problem, we use the plugin in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js to generate compound classnames for IE6, such as 'MenuItemWithSubMenuHover'.
* Since there are a lot of these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes for modern browsers, and we use the CSS2 style mutltiple class
* syntax for that. Since IE6 both applies rules where
* it should not, and gets the specificity wrong too, we have to order rules carefully, so the rule misapplied in IE6 can be overridden.
* So, we put the multiple class rule first. IE6 will mistakenly apply this rule. We follow this with the single-class rule that it would
* mistakenly override, making sure the misinterpreted IE6 specificity is the same as the single-class selector, so the latter wins.
* We then create a copy of the multiple class rule, adding a '.SpryIsIE6' class as context, and making sure the specificity for
* the selector is high enough to beat the single-class rule in the "both classes match" case. We place the IE6 rule at the end of the
* css style block to make it easy to delete if you want to drop IE6 support.
* If you decide you do not need IE6 support, you can get rid of these, as well as the inclusion of the SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js script.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser is Internet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditional comments for these rules.

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.

Spry Menu Bar vs Properties Window

Dreamweaver CS4, Mac OSX 10.6.4
Not sure how I did it, but when I add a Spry Menu Bar from the Insert>Spry>Spry Menu Bar, I first get the correct dialog, asking Horizontal or Vertical (I choose Horizontal), but it comes up with a Menu Bar with Item 1, Item 2, Item 3, and Item 4. (No further dialog shows up, and Properties Window does NOT change)
How does one add a Item 5, or sub-menus???
Every video/help doc refers going to Window>Properties and adding it there. The only problem is, my Properties window looks nothing like the tutorials!!!
Again, once I choose Horizontal or Vertical, the menu appears, but the Properties window does not change.
If I click in the same Frameset pane as the menu I just created, it looks like:
And if I click on a Menu item it looks like:
It is supposed to look something like:
Where the Properties window shows the Menu Bar. How do you get to that?
I've tried reseting Dreamweaver by following the support docs, even resetting the site, and still no luck. The very first time I tried this, the Properties window did show the correct window, but I messed that doc up and trashed it. I tried starting over, and now I have the problem listed above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I assume that you are working in design view in which case you should click the blue part of the menu to get the correct properties window
I hope this helps.

Ben, I would be fine if I just could see that blue area! For some reason it will not come up, and that is my problem! -Bill

Spry menu bar transparency in Internet Explorer 8

Hello all, I've searched for this one but can't seem to find a solution that works. I'm using DW CS5 and I've included a spry menu bar and transparency on the site works great everywhere else except for the menu bar. I tried to use the hack to change the background to "transparent" but that did not work. Also, the site works fine in other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome but the spry menu bar is the only this that sticks out like a sore thumb in IE8. Please any help is appreciated and I thank you in advance.

This is where the browser is told to supply a white background
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
     display: block;
     cursor: pointer;
     background-color: #fff;
     padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
     color: #333;
     text-decoration: none;
Vhange the value to transparent.
Also the last line int the CSS should be removed as in
filter: "alpha(opacity=60)";

Spry Menu Bar Submenu not dropping.

Hi,
I,ve got a problem with the Spry Bar Menu Bar....The Submenu is not dropping when I preview the page in a browser. Would be great if somebody could help me out here.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello Wiebke,
to my knowledge that's not a reason. Murray has often answered to ftp problems, last thing I've noticed was: "If the files are being uploaded to the correct location, then they must overwrite the existing files in that location. If you are not seeing those changes in the browser, then you must be looking at a stale page in the browser - dump your local browser cache and try again. So, make sure that the files are being properly uploaded, and that your browser is fully refreshed." and from osgood "Have you tried an alternative ftp upload client other than Dreamweaver?".
The last hint is that what I prefer. In all in these cases I'm not a friend of a detailed troubleshooting. It is one of the reasons that I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
For this reason, to manage, for example, several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
http://filezilla-project.org/ and
http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
Mac: Mac OS X
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server.
Good luck

Spry menu bar in iOS

My web pages use a spry menu bar for navigation. The menu bar is OK in Mac OS X but won't function properly when used by iOS on iPads and iPhones. What modifications do I need to make. Or what other navigation bar should I use?

JQuery is quite a common substitute, but you can do wonders with a simple HTML/CSS only menu.
jMenu jQuery plugin : Demonstration - Horizontal navigation with unlimited sub-menus with jQuery : MyjQueryPlugins.com
Here's an HTML/CSS only version with a persistent page indicator to show the visitor which page they are on

And see the CSS here: http://www.kardsbykaren.us/kknav.css

Spry menu bar -- only one of the submenus of a drop down set works.
