Spry Menu in CSS not a Template?
Hello,
I created a template with a spry navigation bar. This
template is used for all pages within my site. Is there a way to
use the same spry navigation bar with all page links through an
external CSS instead of putting it in a template? I'd like to try
using straight CSS for all of my pages as opposed to using a
template.
Thank you.
You are confused.
Why do you want to move this out of the template?

.. 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. -
Spry Menu Bar is not doing what I want it to do
I am attempting to work with the Spry Menu Bar, which was starting to work, but then I made the mistake of trying to resize it using the resize handles around the menu. And now I can't figure out how to get it back to the right size. I've tried undoing and looking through the code, which is NOT my forte, but I can't find any clues as to how change the size. And it will not display any menu other than the very first one, even though the whole menu bar is spanning the page, with plenty of room to display all 4. What is going on??
Here is the Spry menu bar css code:

Even though it's included in older versions of Dreamweaver, Adobe formally abandoned Spry last year
http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l'
Point being, few people will advise you to continue along this Spry path.
You're better off investing your energy in a modern up-to-date menu system.

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:

And here is what my SpryMenuBar.js coding looks like right now too:
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.

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. -
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 :

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.

How Do I Create an Editable Spry Menu as part of a Template?
I am having considerable trouble trying to work out an issue and hope you can help. I have been working on a webpage that I would like to be a template for a fundraiser we are doing. I used a horizontal spry menu and a vertical spry menu. I have two youtube videos that I would like embedded on the page, but I would like the flexibility to change them for different pages. I am trying to make my horizontal and vertical spry menus editable since I am going to be making pages for all items in the menus. I can't seem to set this up correctly. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? I have been able to set up editable regions according to my template file, however, when I open the template, I am unable to edit the spry menus or edit the youtube videos. Setting up editable regions also seems to change the look of my page.
Here is what I would like all the pages to look like: http://www.ymimusic.com/shoppers_guide.html
But this is how it looks presently when I try to make a page from the template I created following the instructions from the course: http://www.ymimusic.com/test.html
Since I cannot get the template to work the way I would like, I have not created any links yet. I can send you the template and html page if this will help. Thank you for your help in advance./p>Murray,
I am just opening your responses now. I will try to clarify again. "There's the rub. This is not a wise choice. A completely different menu in each page will not only confuse your visitors, it will drive you insane. I strongly suggest you not do this." You were referring to "What throws us off the track is your wish to be able to have a different menubar in each page. In that case the menubar will need to be in an editable region."
What I am simply trying to do is this: If I create a menu that has the following links: About Us, Products, and Contact Us on one page, I want my customers to see the SAME menu on the About Us page, the Products page and the Contact Us page. I am NOT creating different menus on each page. I am trying to automate the format by creating a template that will show these links on each page without me redoing it every page.
When I attempted this, and created a page from the template, I could not get into the menu to assign links to different pages. Using the above example, If I created my About Us page as the template for the site, then created the Products page from the template, I need the ability to assign the links on the Products page to the About Us and Contact Us pages. The page created from the template does not allow me to do this. I cannot get in to assign the links in the Properties section of Dreamweaver. I even attempted to do the following action in the .dwt file I created:
Modify > Templates > Make Attribute Editable
I did this to make the links editable after creating the template. This obviously didn't work.
To summarize: I do NOT want to make different menus on each page. I simply want to create the two menus you see (one horizontal and one vertical) that will be part of the template. I am trying figure out when I assign the links and How. I will go back and read your notes as well as read the help section (F1) as you requested, however that is why I contacted you; I did not understand what I was doing wrong. I have been working with a course series in Lynda.com that has explained much of what to do up to my problem spot, I simply need to understand the concept.
Thank you for your assistance. -
Spry menu z-index in DW template
I am trying to create a unified website using a dreamweaver template. I have a header with a spry dropdown menu beneath it, which extends (when expanded) down over an editable region in the template. I can make the drop down menu work correctly in the template, but if I add a new div tag near or beneath the dropdown menu in the "child" page (a new document- from the template) it's z-index is above the drop down menu and obscures the drop down menu items. I would like the have the flexibilty of adding the new divs in the editable region in the child pages, but don't know how to make the spry drop menu stay on top... any suggestions ??
thanks,
jaySo, you probably found out that the use of templates has nothing to do with this issue, right? And the simple solution is to adjust the z-index of the Spry element so that it's higher than anything else on the page. (in addition you want to limit your use of positioned elements anyhow, since that is not a general layout tool to begin with)

CS3 - Spry Menu - Spans, CSS Differences in Browsers
Hello,
I'd greatly appreciate any help at all on these three issues from our website: www.r3mg.com
-When I make this spry menu, I want the 4 different categories to be different colors. Thus, I’ve included a “span” inside the li and then another span inside the ul, which I know isn’t “proper” css. But I’m not sure how else to do it. Is there a correct way to do this?
-When in Internet Explorer (8, in this case), the photography mouse-over has weird borders and a scroll thingy on it. But none of the others do. The rest of the menu is correct except for that one. You can see what I mean here… (iE8 - mess up view – FF - should look like)
-In IE7, it takes the "about us" link and puts is on a line below "photography" and I'm not sure how to fix that for only IE7
Thank you!!Hi Beth, thank you for your help! I'm just going to cut and paste your reply to show what I've done...
Rather than using spans inside the li, style it in CSS by applying IDs to the sections you want to affect:
<li id="home">Home</li>
<li id="contactus">Contact Us</li>
(I've left out the actual links, for clarity).
I did this, except used:
Branding
and so on for my other two headings: web & paper
Then, in the CSS stylesheet, do this:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#home {background-color: red; color: white;} /*use your own color choices, of course!*/
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#contactus {background-color: orange; color: black;} /*ditto!*/
for the dropdowns, you can further style this way:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#home li {background-color: pink; color: black;}
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#contactus li {background-color: gold; color: black;}
Obviously, use your own color combos!
Here is where the issues lies, I think. When I did this exactly, but with my colors and # headings, it did nothing. I think this is because each of these words in the menu are all links. So the question is, do I have to change the ** ul.MenuBarHorizontal a ** CSS? If so, I tried to do this using your example and it still didn't work. I added new CSS codes of:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#Branding a ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#Branding li a
Then, I put these in the appropriate places in the SpryMenu on the html page. All it did was make everything one color for the links. So I must have done it wrong. I have put the spans back in. The only thing I've changed on the CSS now is to take the font color out of the original ** ul.MenuBarHorizontal a ** and that now leaves it to the ugly default purple Dreamweaver uses on links. This shows me that it's probably something to do with the "a" code in the CSS.
Actually, your menus have some difficulties in both Firefox and IE8, but I see by your illustrations that it is really just that About Us is dropping to the next line. If you reduce slightly the width of each menu item, you will see this problem go away.
In IE8, you are getting a scrollbar because the browser senses that you do not have enough height to your containing div, so the browser is very kindly adding the scrollbar. Even though it looks as if there should be enough height...! You can try doing border: 0px; for the submenus. If you want the border on the submenus, add height to the containing div to allow for the borders.
.ulMenuBarHorizontal ul li {border: 0px;}
I've tried doing this also and it still doesn't seem to be helping. I've changed the height on the #header & #header-toolbar but it still left the scroll thing. What I don't understand is why it does it only on the photography drop-down but not on the other ones.
I hope this makes sense. My head is spinning from trying to figure it out. And again, thank you! -
Spry menu in IE not transparent
How do I make a spry menu transparent in IE? It shows a white
background.Problem: I started from scratch (a clean HTML file), created
a horizontal spry menu, didn´t change anything except I
deleted all background colors in the CSS style sheet (including the
background color of the HACK). The submenu is totally transparent
in FF but in IE the submenu is white with the word "false" on the
background of the submenu. Could anyone help me with this
problem? -

@media screen, projection
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li.MenuBarItemIE
display: inline;
f\loat: left;
background: #FFF;Because I can't see your site and code in context, I will make a guess that this style is throwing off your alignment:
/* Menu item containers, position children relative to this container and are a fixed width */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
cursor: pointer;
width: 160px;
float: left;
background-image: url(file:///E|/MAIN_website/images/menu_background.jpg);
Remove the text-align:center; from the above style.
Instead of centering your list element (li), center the link text (a) itself:
/* Menu items are a light gray block with padding and no text decoration */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal a
display: block;
cursor: pointer;
padding: 0.5em 0.75em;
color: #FFF;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Cambria, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
If you don't want the submenu text to be centered, do this immediately after the previous style:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul a {text-align: left;}
The sub-submenus are also set up by default to be jogged a bit to the right. You can adjust this style:
/* Submenus should appear slightly overlapping to the right (95%) and up (-5%) */
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul ul
position: absolute;
margin: -5% 0 0 95%;
that causes sub-submenus to fly out to the right of the submenus to which they attach.
Submenus themselves (not the sub-submenus) should fall directly under the top menu item by default, once you remove the text-align: center; on the li item (above).

Spry Menu Bar does not show up in Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7
I been building a spry horizontal menubar in Dreamweaver.
Everything was working well in both Firefox and IE. Then it
disappear in Firefox. The menubar appears in
www.brycelevancushing.com

Could someone help solve this mystery?Many many moons ago, a work-experience student, decided to play a trick on me. Knowing that I often used MS Excel, he decided to change the default text colour to white. On a white background, the information that I tried to enter into the spreadsheet did not show up, making me think that I had a virus or worse on my computer.
Have a look at the following exerpt from your SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css

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
