Spry Menu Bar troubles
I am trying to vertical menus that may have up to 2 levels of
popups. At first the submenus were invisible until I changed a CSS
setting in ul.verticalmenubar a Positioning setting from -1000 to
0. I don't know how it was set in the first place. Now the submenus
are always on the screen, overlaying the content beneath them. How
do I get them to only appear on a rollover or click on the menu
item. There seems to be no code automatically inserted to do this.
I have been trying to get Spry to work for several days, and
can never get the submenus to work correctly. Do you have any ideas
on what is wrong? Is Spry still buggy? I'm working with IE.
When you download the installer it runs another application
which installs the 1.6 addon into DW CS3. It updates all of your
scripts to 1.6 and puts your old SpryCSS into another Spry folder
in your site (which can be deleted).
The 1.6 update is supposed to help with some of the early
issues with some of the newer browsers (most notably IE). If you
are still having issues it might be best if you can just post a
link to this page (so if you have not uploaded it yet, do so). I
don't know why the submenus wouldn't show up on rollover. They
shouldn't be having this problem so it is an issue with the CSS.
If you look back at my first post there is a link to a file
called "SpryMenuBarVertical.css". Click on that link and view the
CSS file in your browser. Compare that to what you have in your CSS
document in the Spry Assets folder. See if they match up or if
something is different (ignoring all colors and background images
that you may have changed). That would be the only other option to
posting a link to your page would be for you to compare those
documents.

Trouble with Spry Menu Bar Not Opening on Hover
I have two Spry Menu Bars on this one page. They were both working fine. Now the menu bar on the top right is not opening on rollover. I have uploaded the Spry .JS and .CSSfiles to the server.Could it be that I added 2 to the names of the CSS styles, but not all of them? I just tested them all with 2 after the style name, and it didn't fix it.
I also noticed that the ability to edit these two navigation bars using the Property Inspector went away. I can't seem to click on them to edit. Now I edit them through the code only.
Rebuild it on another page, and paste in the code?
Suggestions?
ALso, getting an error message on line 2 of HTML below, which I don't remember editing.
I will paste the template page HTML, then the CSS, then the Javascript Spry file for Menu Bar Horizontal. I did not edit the JS file at all.
Link to the uploaded files: http://www.sproulcreative.com/filetest/panin_website/
Thanks for any help you can offer.

CC & Panino’s Love of Hockey Runs From Colorado to Minnesota</h1>
<h4>Byline: By Jim Bainbridge, The Gazette</h4>
<p>No Colorado Springs business has had a deeper bond with the Colorado College hockey program during the past three decades than Panino’s Restaurant, a connection seen on its walls, in its clientele and in its bloodlines.<br />
Panino’s has been tied to the school’s hockey program since the restaurant was bought in 1974 by former CC All-America hockey player Tony Frasca. It’s still the place to be on game day a generation later with his son Mike running things. <a href="http://daily.gazette.com/Repository/ml.asp?Ref=VGhlR2F6ZXR0ZS8yMDA1LzAzLzI5I0FyMDMzMDI=&Mo de=HTML&Locale=english-skin-custom"><span class="smalltext">Click here to view entire article.</span></a><br />

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.

closetime = window.setTimeout(function(){self.hideSubmenu(menu);}, 600);
}, false);It has to do with all of your absolutely positioned elements. What's happening is that the menu is falling behind the absolutely positioned elements on your page. Since there is nothing there, it's like trying to click a link that is outside your home while you are staring through a window. Personally with that page setup you have now I really don't see a need for absolutely positioned elements. But if you feel you will require them as part of your design you need to ensure the z-index of your menu layer is greater than that of the body elements positioned below it.

Having Trouble with Spry Menu Bar Hover Image
I added a hover image to the spry menu bar, however, whenever I roll my mouse over the buttons all, but one of the buttons' fonts grow in size, also increase the size of the button. Can someone please help me with this?
Hello,
the culprit must be in your (horizontal or vertical) "SpryMenuBar.........al.css". Please send us a link to your website in question, so we can better analyze.
BUT, and I quote from different contributions of the forum:
"Spry has been deprecated and is no longer officially supported by Adobe", “Adobe abandoned Spry late last year after CS6 came out. Future products will probably not contain any Spry so learning to use jQuery is a valuable skill to have for the future.” “The news was released in August last year: http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l”.
I'd recommend you switch to a jQuery library for your further requirements.
If you have a budget to work with, look at PVII's Pop-Menu Magic3:
http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm3/index.htm
jQuery Superfish (free): http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/ aso.

bars that I created in Dreamweaver. Whenever I preview them in a
browser they show up as grey with black text. What I want them to
show up as is blue with white text before the mouse goes over them
and highlights them. When the mouse goes over them I want them to
still be blue with white text and also my drop down menu options as
well.
What would be the fastest and easiest way to do this and if
there is what css code is required for me to change? I'm unfamiliar
with how css code works.
I'm also having some problems with copying and pasting
pictures and editing them too. what software can i download that is
free that i can use to edit my pictures.
I have the trial version mind you and I'm trying to get this
finished as fast as I can.> What would be the fastest and easiest way to do this and

Bring up your page and adjust the CSS in the
SpryMenuHorizontal.css or
SpryMenuVertical.css page that is attached. All the color
values are in
there.
>I'm unfamiliar with how css code works.
You need to change this. Without a thorough working knowledge
of HTML and
CSS (at the very least), you will never have great success in
either
Dreamweaver or web design. I first learned web design using
Notepad, typing
every single tag, and I am soo grateful now that I had that
solid coding
experience .. without it, this program would be very hard to
master.

Free? I'm not sure any more .. you can use either the 30 day
trial of
Fireworks or Photoshop (Fireworks would probably be easier to
pick up) but
if you're going to do a lot of this, you need to get some
good tools and
learn them well.

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.
here is the css

RayUhh no, both issues are still occurring. Please look at the site http://appventurousllc.com in
Firefox and IE and you will see that the issues are still present. -
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.

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.

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.htmlHello,
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

Oops - spry menu bar 2.0 does not display correctly when loaded
Oops - obviously I'm new at this. I think I got my graphics loaded now.
Dear Sirs:
I notice bzz31 had a pretty complicated post, so perhaps someone can help me with my complicated problem that has been vexing me for months. I tried the Spry Menu Bar 1.0, but it was impossible for me to edit, and I was delighted to see Spry Menu Bar 2.0 come out. However the 2.0 version has been frustrating me as well.
I can get my menu bar to display properly in Live View, as shown below.
However when I load everything onto the server, the menu bar does not display correctly, as shown below:
I don't quite understand the code "file:///" but I interpret it to mean that the Spry-UI-1.7 folder is in the topmost folder of MacPro5-Docs, which is my hard drive. Here's the code I'm having trouble with:
Here's my computer directory, shown below:
Since my index file is two folders down from Spry-UI-1.7, I loaded the files onto the server similarly, as shown in the next three pictures:
(The picture below is the same as the one just above, but now you can see the path from index to Spry-UI-1.7.)
I would be most appreciative if someone can help me.
Thank you.Have a look at the following links
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMUtils.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMEffects.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryWidget.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryMenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/plugins/MenuBar2/SpryMenuBarKeyNavigationPlugin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/includes/plugins/MenuBar2/SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="file:///MacProG5-Docs/Spry-UI-1.7/css/Menu/basic/SpryMenuBasic.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Each of the above points to a file on your local system and cannot be found by the remote server.
Replace the red coloured parts with http://www.twhsbands.org/ will remedy the situation.
You also have some remnants of the other SpryMenuBar that should be removed from your markup.
Gramps
Wel, so much for the red coloured parts, they did not show up.
The red coloured parts read file:///MacProG5-Docs/ -
Thank you for viewing my post!
I am having trouble editing the default spry menu bar .css file
How do I edit the spry menu .css file to display two different roll over colors for the menu and submenu?
My goal is to have a blue menu bar with gray rollover color, gray drop down submenus with their own orange rollover color.
I tried giving ul.MenuBarHorizontal li its own style but I think something else in the .css is preventing this (or my own skill is).
Thank you ahead of time to the kind soul who can help me with this!Have a look at this David Powers tutorial http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/customize1.php
I hope this helps.

I am just learning Dreamweaver CS4. I have a Spry menu bar on
the index page. I had trouble getting the text to center up in the
individual buttons. Somehow that was cured and subsequently the
other submenu items (under "Home", "Services" and "Examples") are
not visible on the website though they show up fine in Dreamweaver.
If you want to see what the output is the website is:
http://www.caddyshackproductions.com
Can anyone correct this css file?
Thank you, once again.Abraham Chaffin over at Creative Cow had the solution:
The main issue that I see is in your CSS file under
<code>ul.MenuBarHorizontal li{</code>
You have this setting:
<code>position: inherit;</code>
it should be
<code>position: relative;</code> -
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.

Trying to make spry menu bar work on iphone
I would prefer my horizontal spry menu bar to be centered at the top of the page, but to do this I have to make it a fixed width.
This width is too wide for an iphone so the outermost buttons are not accessable.
I have managed a workaround by making the width auto and aligning left.
This makes each menu item cascade under the next so they are all accessable, but it's not brilliant.
You can see this by resizing the browser on the about jill page.
I tried the spry menu bar 2 widget, but couldn't customise the colours to make it look like my existing menu.
What is the best way get this menu working normally on an iphone/android etc?
Cheers
Ps. if anyone answers with code suggestions, could you tell me exactly where that code goes and in what file.Earlier iDevices & Droids are going to have trouble with a position:fixed menu. Just thought you should know.

How to TroubleShoot Spry Menu Bar 2.0
A few days ago I red David Powers article Styling and inserting a Spry Menu Bar 2.0 widget with the Adobe Widget Browser.
I was very curious about this tool, since I was working on styling menu bars for my website. I studied David’s article carefully and worked my way through the tutorial.
A few hours later I had designed a perfect menu bar, including a specific Bevel and Emboss style, that was exactly the way I wanted it for My website.
Although the menu that I had designed was not properly displayed in design view (in Adobe Dreamweaver CS 5.5), all worked well in live view on my local (Windows) computer and so I uploaded the files to the (Linux) hosting server of my service provider ( Godaddy.com) .
This is where I ran into trouble. I keep having the following dialog:
“SpryMenu.js requires SpryWidget.js” followed by “SpryMenuBarKeyNavigationPlugin.jr requires SpryMenu.js”.
To be sure that there were no coding errors on my side, I downloaded the complete source code attached to David’s article (the Bayside Pulse sample files). To my great frustration, I got the same result: a perfect menu bar in Live View on the local computer and the above mentioned dialog while running the code on the server.
This is where I need some help. It appears that the Javascript include files can’t be found on the server, although I checked and they are just where they should be…
I need some suggestions how to proceed from here.Login to your webshosting server. Under the file manager, check if the file size is same as it is on your local machine.
The file size of "SpryWidget.js"should be same on local and remote server. -
Hello,
I am having trouble with my spry menu bar. Please see: www.jorgbrockmann.com
I would like the Menu Bar background to not change to grey when I roll over it. However, I would like the submenu's background to change to grey when they are rolled over. I have changed it several times in the appropriate css spry categories but they are still not working. Can somebody please confirm these categories for me. ie submenuhover ?
Further, I would like to remove the little triangle in the menu bar. Does anybody know how I would do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
TatianaHi
Tatiana,

"Changing the normal background and font colours"
"Changing the colour for menu items when moused over" and
"Adding borders to the menu items to make them look like buttons"
