Spry Menu - Horizontal

Website that's being worked on ::
http://shilohsteel.com/Edit
I'm not sure really where to post this so I'm sorry if it's
in the wrong place.
In firefox [of course] everything works as it should..but in
IE [which sadly I have to code this to work in] the sub menu
appears at the top of the screen, not next to the parent that calls
it.
Please help!

Gap in second level spry menu (Horizontal menu)

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me?!!
I've been developing a new website for my shool, with a horizontal spry menu bar. It all works fine, but when you select the third level menu on the spry, a gap emerges between the second and third level. Whislt it doesn't effect the functionality, it doesn't look very good!
I've attached a picture below to illustrate the problem, as you can see when the user clicks on the "For Parents" submenu, the next level, (starting with "Heads Welcome"), is seperated.   Please, please, please, can anyone tell me how to fix this, I'm getting desperate!
Thank you so much in advance.

Hi, Thank you Gramps. I'll have a play with a new Spry and see how it looks. I have tried to adapt my current one, and it seems to work well in Safari, Chrome or IE8, but doesn't work on my computer running IE9? Any ideas? Thanks again,Richard

Spry menu horizontal question

I was wondering if it was possible to edit the spry menu so
that the sub menus showed up as a horizontal line below the main
links something like this
{the initial state would look like this}
home | about us | contact us
{then if you rolled over about us it would look like this}
home | about us | contact
about us submenu1 | about us submenu 2 | about us submenu4

Came across the fix by accident thru extensions in menu bar,
and choice of cursor for each section. Feeling happy! Happy New
Year everyone.

Center Spry Menu Horizontal Bar

My spry menu bar has 7 items with no sub menus.
The menu looks fine but it's up against the left hand border and I am having a terrible time trying to center on the page.

TerryGV, David Powers has given you the best advice, and you have followed it...and it works!
Dreamweaver is not a push-button, automated, all-is-fixed-in-a-single-click type of program. Results with those programs are restricted to the actions that can be pre-supposed by the engineers.
With Dreamweaver, you have the freedom and breadth of possibilities (and sometimes the labor) that come with that lack of second-guessing by others.
What you have done is basic CSS. Once you get a good understanding of Cascading Style Sheets, you will find you will not be wishing for automated solutions as much.

Spry menu - horizontal - submenu default open

i want to have a submenu of one tab open by default on one page rather then when you hover over it. how can i do that? in the css?

All right. Add a class to the ul you want to be open, as
<ul class="open">
Then add a style to your stylesheet:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.open
      {left: 0;
       top: 95%;
You should not need to add id's to actual list items (unless you want to specifically change their colors...)
By giving the submenu (the ul inside the ul.MenuBarHorizontal) a left:0;, you are pulling it in from left-field, where it had been at -1000em and also dropping it to nearly below (95%) the top menu.
You're not tricking the javascript. The javascript will still be working. But the visible submenus will just already be visible instead of hiding and being brought onstage by the javascript. If it's any consolation, the javascript could care less...
If you are working with templates, you can give each submenu ul an id, give the body an editable attribute (so you can change the body id for each page) and set up something in the CSS that controls, for instance:
<body id="contactuspage">
<ul class="MenuBarHorizontal>
     <li>...
          <ul id="contactus">
and in the CSS:
#contactuspage ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul#contactus,
#aboutuspage ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul#aboutus
     {left: 0;
       top: 95%;
So all you have to do is make sure you have set the body id (it could be the id of the container for the menubar...not the menubar itself, though) for each page, and the "show submenus" will automatically apply to the submenus that correspond to the page.
Beth
I'm not sure that this works in all browsers. I'm getting patchy results...It appears that you will have to play with the "top:95%;" call...Internet Explorer drops the top of the submenu to 95% down the WINDOW/viewport, and not just to the bottom of the top menu item. If you have a set height on the top menu item, give that as the value for top.
OK. It looks pretty solid, if you take my comment in the previous paragraph to heart.
Have fun with it!

Spry menu changes - How to:

First. I'm not a developer or programmer. I'm a hacker (dabble unknowingly by trial and errororor).
I looked deeply for how to change font characteristics and found nothing helpful except comments that it can't be done or BEWARE! Horse puckey! Don't believe that all you can change is font, background and color.
I needed to change the font size and width of the bars in my Spry menu. This is how I did it and the details are for others to trial and error it themselves.
I created a page with a Spry menu (horizontal for me) and populated it to three levels. The first time you use Spry it will copy the necessary files into your directory and create a .css file you can see in that directory. You can open up the Spry menu and see the .css parameters, which isn't helpful at all. You can, also, open up the .css file as a window pane, which is what you need.
Next, open up your browser and use it to open the file you are using for test purposes (the .html, not the .css file). Now you can get an idea of what your file will look like in a browser on the Internet. Change back to the Dreamweaver window. Make sure you have the "SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" (or vertical).
Go to the menu . . . Windows > CSS Style and make sure the CSS Styles tab with ALL selected is showing. If the tab only shows the tree view, drag from the bottom slider bar upward to show both the tree view and the Properties view. Now you're ready.
Do this one step at a time ready to undo any changes you don't like.
Set the window pane to the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css page. Go down the list of Rules in the CSS Panel until you find one that you think might change what you want.
Make the SINGLE change.
Save the change.
Change to the browser and click on Refresh. The changes will show up. Make sure you test each level.
Go back to the Dreamweaver .css pane and either change it back or try the next one.
You will find you can add properties not noted in other discussion or instructions.
I wanted to change both font size and button width. I found that in the Rules I made these changes that worked just fine.
ul.MenuBarHorizontal - I changed the font size from 100% to 60% and got a smaller font universally in the menu.
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li - I changed the width from 8.2 ems to 16 ems and had wider menu bars universally.
Experiment, try it, be adventurous! Just do it carefully and be ready to undo unwanted changes.

Other than additional specific changes, this was NOT a question for further discussion. It was simply a solution for others to find.

How to keep a Spry menu in one file?

Could somebody explain me how I can keep the HTML code for a
Spry menu (horizontal) bar in just one file? Of course, the aim is
to reduce the effort of making later changes in the menu to a
minimum... I'm not a professionell developer, but I wonder if I can
do so by using PHP or maybe XML. The question is: How do I do this?
Thanks for any help!

I am not able to edit the spry menu via dreamweaver

After having configured a spry-menu-horizontal-bar in my we page the
day before, I cam back to add more links, however, I found this error
message:
The following translator were not loaded due to errors:
PHP_MySQL.htm, has configuration information that is invalid.
Spry.htm: has configuration that is invalid.
SplyWidget.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
XSLT.htm: has configuration information that is invalid
I am not able to edit the spry menu via dream weaver and doing the
modifications by hand is cumbersome and prone to errors.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Have a good day!
http://www.tandooristyle.ca/ArbolOne1.html

Not sure exactly why, but somethings don't look normal like why you have a PHP_MYSQL.htm file?
Anyways, bets to post this on the Dreamweaver forum instead of the Developer Toolbox forum. You will get a much quicker response as this has nothing to do with the Adobe Dreamweaver Developer's Toolkit.

Spry menu out of alignment in IE

Not sure if this is the right place ... I am new to Dreamweaver and CSS but I have created a spry menu (horizontal) and everything looks good in all browsers except IE, the main container which is green is out of alignment with the menu bar at the top. I have been fiddling with this for weeks. Any help would be much appreciated. The link is as follow:
www.whiterockchristiansciencechurch.com/bctestmay12/
thanks.

PS please reply in language that a rookie can understand.

Hi Gramps
Thank you … I took a look at the web address you sent me, but couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to do with it! Then I tried setting the individual widths of the menu items and this has improved the appearance in IE to the point where I can live with it. What puzzles me though is why, if the cumulative total of the menu items measure 946 px and the ‘main‘ div also measures 946, they don’t exactly match up exactly lengthwise.
Also your comment about not using ‘absolute’ positioned divs … I have been learning Dreamweaver from the Adobe manual and it recommends that you use absolute positioning for the ‘main’ div and so I thought everything else within the container (other than the container itself which I have set to relative) should be absolute. Are you saying that I should not use absolute for the main div or are you just referring to the menu div? If I don’t use absolute what should I use?
Thanks so much for your assistance, most appreciated.

Spry menu showing up incorrectly IE6

Hi there,
My spry menu horizontal bar is showing up incorrectly in
IE6....
The buttons are meant to be maroon during hover, but they're
all the default blue, sometimes when you hover over them they turn
pink, sometimes blue, sometimes completely gray, the colors are all
messed up...
But it's fine in other browsers..... Please advice, thanks
cgbub

Even if it would be included as SSI your markup will still be wrong.
if your SSI is in the body, that means you will have a extra tittle tag and meta tag in the body of your page. Same would count for script and <link> tags.
If the SSI was in the head. Than your whole menu bar markup would also be in the <head> which isn't valid either.
Also, you menu is on the right side because:
ul.MenuBarVertical ul {
cursor:default;
font-size:100%;
left:100em;
list-style-type:none;
margin:-5% 0 0 101%;
overflow:visible;
padding:0;
position:absolute;
top:0;
width:169px;
z-index:1020;
You say it needs to be there due to the 100em left
For the underlines, in the ul.MenuBarVertical a css selector add the following property;
text-decoration:none;

Can I trigger a sound on rollover with spry menu?

I am using a spry menu (horizontal) for a client's website. He really wants to have a sound as the viewer rolls over the tab that triggers the dropdown.
Is it possible to do this using the spry menu in Dreamweaver CS4?

It is possible using javascript, but I'm not the only one who'll tell you, probably the most annoying thing you can do is add sounds to a website that play automatically and that the visitor can't turn off or control the volume of without muting their system.
I read a "horror story" about a gun store that hired some friend of the owner to build their site. Imagine about three seconds after the homepage loads (and you have iTunes playing as you work) suddenly the office is filled with the sound of automatic gunfire (too likely an occurrence, to be taken lightly these days). Poor fellow was looking for ammuntion prices for an upcoming hunting trip (all perfectly legal) and scared three co-workers so badly they nearly quit their jobs.
Granted, your client probably doesn't want anything like that, but one of the quickest ways to drive people away from a site is the have an annoying click, or swoosh every time they navigate to a different page.

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.

Uhh 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.

Spry menu bar places vertically, not horizontally?

I followed the tutorial on using the widget browser to download Spry Menu Bar 2.0 and after configuring for a horizontal bar placed the bar in the tutorial index.html. The placement results in a vertical menu bar. What am I doing wrong?

/* 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.

/* 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.

Horizontal spry menu style appears turned off when on the internet though can view it in live mode!?

The style of the horizontal spry menu seems as to have been turned off when on the web though is visible and functioning on CS4 Dreamweaver design and live views. I have styled the spry menu and can view it in the properties section though the style setting is there on the internet it looks as if the styles have turned off and appears unformatted vertically when it should be a cascading horizontal menu bar. Not sure where the error is, I have looked at the coding and as I'm not the most experienced with spry.....
this is the coding above the head.
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript">
<link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

</script>
I have noticed that SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css doesn't appear in the spry assets folder, does this matter? (not sure how to insert into the assets menu). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks for testing it. I'm not sure how to proceed though as the css file is in my local_sites/spry assets folder for the website. I've tried to point it to other (copies of SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css) and spry assets folder externally from the site and again internally in the root folder and seems to make little or no difference.
Your suggestion of what it should read,(sorry to sound so naive at all this) though would you mind giving a step-by-step guide on how to go about it? as I'm obviously missing something in the setup process.
thanks again for your help.
