Spry menu scrollbar on top problem

Hello to everyone,
I have spry tab menus (vertical) with scrollable text. If I scroll to the bottom of tab 1, then select tab 2, the scrollbar remains at the bottom (or wherever it was last positioned on tab 1. You can see the problem on http://www.olivagreca.com/Olives.html#Cultivars .
I had also the same problem on http://www.olivagreca.com/Olive_Oil.html#Olive_Groves but it has been solved by a person on this forum. The code that he provided me to solve the above problem is:
<div id="TabbedPanels1" class="VTabbedPanels">
<ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(0); window.location.hash='Olive_Groves' ;return false;"><a href="#">Olive Grove</a></li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(0); window.location.hash='The_Harvest' ;return false;"><a href="#">Harvest</a></li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(0); window.location.hash='Oil_Press' ;return false;"><a href="#">Oil Press</a></li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(0); window.location.hash='Olive_Oil_Grades' ;return false;"><a href="#">Olive Oil Grades</a></li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(0); window.location.hash='Health_and_Olive_Oil' ;return false;"><a href="#">Health and Olive Oil</a></li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(0); window.location.hash='Preserving_Olive_Oil' ;return false;"><a href="#">Preserving Olive Oil</a></li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(0); window.location.hash='Did_you_know!' ;return false;"><a href="#">Did you know!</a></li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" onclick="TabbedPanels1.showPanel(0); window.location.hash='Greek_Olive_Oil' ;return false;"><a href="#">Greek Olive Oil</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup">
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent" style="display:none;"><a id="Olive_Groves"></a>blablabla</div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent" style="display:none;"><a id="The_Harvest"></a> blablabla</div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent" style="display:none;"><a id="Oil_Press"></a>blablabla</div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent" style="display:none;"><a id="Olive_Oil_Grades"></a>blablabla</div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent" style="display:none;"><a id="Health_and_Olive_Oil">blablabla</a></div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent" style="display:none;"><a id="Preserving_Olive_Oil">blablabla</a></div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent" style="display:none;"><a id="Did_you_know!">blablabla</a></div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent" style="display:none;"><a id="Greek_Olive_Oil">blablabala</a></div>
</div>
</div>
I had applied the same code at the problematic area but the problem remains.
Is it possible to use CSS or something else to default the scroll bar on the top?
Thank you in advance,
Tom

Spry Menu and Web Design Problem

Hello Folks,
    I've been working feverishly on a layout for my father's new company but my progress has recently hit a snag. For the past hour and a half I've been trying to solve two problems:
1. In Internet Explorer (IE 6), Opera, and Firefox (3.x) - there are a white lines appearing in the spry navigation menu (usually towards the right) after the last tab called "Company Info." The following URL is an example of my problem:
http://www.personal.psu.edu/sbk142/real_test1.html
2. Only in Firefox (believe it or not) - there is a space occuring between my spry navigation bar and the company logo (refer to the URL above). I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the spry menu properties that I assigned but I'm not sure where to begin.
Thanks in advance for your help and happy holidays.
Sam

Spry Menu+Flash Content: Visibility Problem in IE

Hi, I created a web page with Dreamweaver CS3, and I put a
Spry Menu just over a Flash Banner. I set the wmode to transparent
and it works fine on all browser except for IE. It still doesn't
display the submenus which are hidden by the .swf file.
I read some articles but none explaining how to fix this
problem. Anybody knows how to solve it? Thanks for any help!
The code is here in case I made some mistakes:
<div id="FlashContent">
<script type="text/javascript">

add this to the

ul.MenuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE a and give it a fixed

Spry Menu Vertical - Border thickness problem in IE 7

Hello,
No. I'm not using the last 1.6.1 file, because I have change
the css vertical menu to fit my design style.
Errors that I get:
They are all with IE 7 versions. In Firefox, everything is
great.
1) A weird refresh when I click on the submenu links.
2) I can't get the horizontal border line between the menus
to get 1px in IE 7.

Spry Menu Bar transparency problem - one solution

Like many other people I have spent several frustrating days trying to solve the problem of Spry Menu Bar sub-menus appearing to be transparent (text, etc. underneath the sub-menus shows above/through the sub-menu items). This problem manifested itself in IE7, but not in Netscape, Safari or Firefox.
I thought it must be the dreaded IE z-index problem.
I have been through most other people's questions and replies on the Adobe forums, tried all kinds of z-index changes and various other mods to my own CSS and/or the Spry CSS's - all to no avail.
My situation:
I have a Spry Menu Bar above a clicktrail and a text block. Both the clicktrail and the text block showed through the sub-menu items, which drop-down over them.
All three items are located in relative-positioned divs, necessary because the whole page design is contained in a self-centralizing container div and absolute-positioned divs screw up the whole page layout when the screen size or browser window size changes.
(Sorry, I can't upload the files to a website at the moment.)
The solution that works for me in Dreamweaver CS4:
I selected the divs for the clicktrail and the text block, one at a time, and selected Modify > Arrange > Send to Back in Dreamweaver CS4.
I then selected these two items again and selected Modify > Arrange > Bring to Front.
Finally I selected the div containing the Spry Menu Bar and selected Modify > Arrange > Bring to Front. The thought behind this was that this would put the Spry Menu Bar on top of everything else - and it works!
This solution works in all four browsers, but don't ask me how! I can't see any change in any CSS, nor in my template code. All I can see is a strange, flashing vertical line (like an enormous cursor - about 10 cm [3"] high) in the middle of the template page only (and only in Dreamweaver) if I click on the page background. I can neither find an explanation for this nor anything in the coding which might cause it. By the way; the z-index for the menu div =2, the z-index for the clicktrail div is not defined and the z-index for the div for the text block is set to auto. I haven't tried other values and to be honest I'm not sure what they were set to before I applied the above 'solution'.
But hey - who the hell cares - my site works!
I hope this helps someone else out of an absolute hell-hole...if someone out there can explain where to find the code that had been changed or added by doing this I'd like to know. I don't like things I can't explain - even if they do work!

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 2.0 issues in IE7..   yes another one!

I have CS4, and have used the widget browser to create a Spry Menu 2.0 and have imported it to my site. It displays fine in every browser except for IE7. I have been reading a LOT of threads on issues similiar to this one, so I'm prepared to tell everyone I know to upgrade to at least IE8!! However, I would like to fix it if possible. The menu bar is located in an include file and is attached to all my pages through the php function. I have made zero changes to the css code since I imported it into the site.
I also am wondering why there are two css pages for the menu bar.??
Any help would be appreciated..
One of the pages on the site is: michaelandrewshairstudio.com/offers.php
That page is: ( I have taken out some meta tags and content, but the div's are all still in place.) I also deleted some commented tags by accident when I imported it..

/* 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.

I love your subject line
Spry Menu 2.0 issues in IE7..   yes another one!
It is us as designers/developers that need to create websites for all current browsers. No sense in blaming the browsers, although in this case we could blame Spry Menu 2.0.
Problem with that is that Spry Menu 2.0 has been successfully tested in all modern browsers.
This leaves us with just one possibility, the designer/developer has erred somewhere along the line. After having checked the support files (JS and CSS) and looked at the markup, we now go to the constructor and see the following
var MenuBar = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar2("#MenuBar", {
    widgetID: "MenuBar",
    widgetClass: "MenuBar MenuBarLeftShrink",
    insertMenuBarBreak: true,
A comma after the last value.
I also am wondering why there are two css pages for the menu bar.??
One is the standard CSS for the menubar and under normal circumstances, should not be touched; the other is for the convenience of the designer/developer so that he/she can tweak the menubar to suit. If you wish, you can combine both. In all cases, keep in mind that the CSS for the standard (basic) menubar should come first, so that the other CSS can override the first.
This needs to be corrected in your document

Dreamweaver CS5 cannot access blue spry menu

Whenever I use a spry menu I have this problem where it is not possible to see the little blue menu bar that allows you to edit your menus.
WHY? I have searched forums, searched the internet but no answers. Okay I have seen other people ask the same problem but als their threads end with no solution. Sometimes it shows, mostly it doesn't
So please can someone help as to why I cannot see or access the little blue spry menu bar?
Cheers Dean

Thanks for the help.
I have created a new document and inserted a horizontal spry menu, I still have the same problem
Here is hopefully the code you require.

    <h1>Instructions</h1>
    <p>Be aware that the CSS for these layouts is heavily commented. If you do most of your work in Design view, have a peek at the code to get tips on working with the CSS for the fixed layouts. You can remove these comments before you launch your site. To learn more about the techniques used in these CSS Layouts, read this article at Adobe's Developer Center - <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts">http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts</a>.</p>
    <h2>Clearing Method</h2>
    <p>Because all the columns are floated, this layout uses a clear:both declaration in the .footer rule. This clearing technique forces the .container to understand where the columns end in order to show any borders or background colors you place on the .container. If your design requires you to remove the .footer from the .container, you'll need to use a different clearing method. The most reliable will be to add a <br class="clearfloat" /> or <div class="clearfloat"></div> after your final floated column (but before the .container closes). This will have the same clearing effect.</p>
    <h3>Logo Replacement</h3>
    <p>An image placeholder was used in this layout in the .header where you'll likely want to place a logo. It is recommended that you remove the placeholder and replace it with your own linked logo. </p>
    <p> Be aware that if you use the Property inspector to navigate to your logo image using the SRC field (instead of removing and replacing the placeholder), you should remove the inline background and display properties. These inline styles are only used to make the logo placeholder show up in browsers for demonstration purposes. </p>
    <p>To remove the inline styles, make sure your CSS Styles panel is set to Current. Select the image, and in the Properties pane of the CSS Styles panel, right click and delete the display and background properties. (Of course, you can always go directly into the code and delete the inline styles from the image or placeholder there.)</p>
    <h4>Backgrounds</h4>
    <p>By nature, the background color on any div will only show for the length of the content. This means if you're using a background color or border to create the look of a side column, it won't extend all the way to the footer but will stop when the content ends. If the .content div will always contain more content, you can place a border on the .content div to divide it from the column.</p>
</div>
<div class="footer">
    <p>This .footer contains the declaration position:relative; to give Internet Explorer 6 hasLayout for the .footer and cause it to clear correctly. If you're not required to support IE6, you may remove it.</p>

ERROR with Horizontal Spry Menu & IE 7 ONLY!

I created a new website with CS3 adding a horizontal Spry Menu across the top of the page. I am having a problem with this menu in Internet Explorer 7 ONLY! I don't have this problem with Firefox, Chrome or Safari. I wouldn't care so much but IE is the dominant browser. The site is: http://www.sunscapesolar.net. The problem is that when you mouse over any of the top-level menu titles that have sub-menus below like: PRODUCTS, SYSTEMS, INCENTIVES, etc., the body text shifts down and I get a white box popping up that says "false." I've checked everything I know but since DW created the javascript code, I don't know where to go. I have posted this problem three times and nobody has responded! Someone has to know what's wrong! Please help... I don't want to create the site from scratch. . .
Thanks in advance...

Problem with .css for Spry menu

Hi,
I am having a problem with the Spry menu I have created and edited. All looks great in the Design view of Photoshop however under the Live view or opened using a browser the menu reverts to a list of hyperlinks!
I have checked the .css link but when using Firefox CSS editor the CSS file for the menu is simply blank?
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
Ozan

Your SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css needs to be within your SpryAssets folder, which is where it would have been put automatically when you inserted the SpryMenuBar. You can move it back in there using the Files Panel.
Here is what the file structure needs to look like:
SpryAssets
SpryMenuBar.js
SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
cssstyletemplate.css
index.html (or whatever the name of your page is)
Hierarchally, the top level of your root folder will show folders for SpryAssets and css and the html pages will be on the same level.
The Spry assets themselves will be down a level IN the SpryAssets folder, as the styletemplate.css file will be down a level IN the css folder.
In the head of the document, you will have
     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/styletemplate.css" />
     <script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"> </script>
     <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" />
At the end, remove the slash before Spry inside the imgDown and imgRight sections:
     <script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Compare these with your files and file structure and correct any small typos, and they should be correctly linked.

Spry Menu Bar Horizontal Problem in Internet Explorer

I'm having a problem with a spry menu bar. It works fine in Firefox and Google Chrome, but in Internet Explorer the submenus shift to the right.
And here's the code:

Spry Menu Bar Positioning Problem in IE

I have a Dreamweaver-created Spry Menu Bar drop down menu which works perfectly in every browser on my Mac and on my PC . . . EXCEPT Internet Explorer (who woulda thunk it?!!)
In all browsers except for IE, the 3 submenu items under "Door Systems" and "Gallery" appear exactly as they should in a vertical row, positioned just below the brown line below the navigation links and all the same width. But in IE they appear higher up and with different widths. IE is ignoring the rules for width and position.
<ul id="MenuBar2" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
    <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="closet_doors_gallery.html">DOOR SYSTEMS</a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="sliding_doors_nyc_nj.html">DOOR PROFILES</a></li>
        <li><a href="bifold_doors_nyc_nj.html">PANELS COLORS</a></li>
        <li><a href="room_dividers_nyc_nj.html">DOOR SYSTEM TYPES</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
<ul id="MenuBar3" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
    <li><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">GALLERY </a>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#">SLIDING DOORS</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">BI-FOLD DOORS</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">ROOM DIVIDERS</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
Here is the page where you can see the problem if you view it with IE, and see that it's fine in Safari, and Firefox,    Chrome and Opera, Mac or PC:

I have a feeling it's a simple fix of the css, but I can't figure it out - I would really appreciate anyone's help with it - thank you!

Hi and thank you very much. It was a little confusing as to whether you meant to add the rules you suggested or to replace them, or a combination of both, but I puzzled it out. I created a new MenuBarHorizontal.css file in a blank page and then made the changes you suggested and it works! Yay! I had to do a bit of tweaking to get it to look just the way I wanted, but it now works correctly in ie 7 and 8 and still works fine in everything else.
Interestingly enough, I had to change the margin-top: 63px; rule in "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible" to 40px to get it positioned properly vertically, and I had to get rid of the "border-bottom: solid 1px #EEE;" in "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul li", which caused the submenu items to have quite a lot of vertical space between them - I'm not sure why!
I also had to get rid of all the syling rules in the "SUBMENU INDICATION: styles if there is a submenu under a given menu item" section, as well as the one you added: "ul.MenuBarHorizontal a.MenuBarItemSubmenu {
    padding: 0.5em 2em 0.5em 0.75em;"
With that done, it works great in both ie7 and ie8, so thank you for the help. Below is the new css that works, in total.
Not being as familiar with the subtleties of CSS as you and many others obviously are, I'm REALLY curious as to exactly what is different that causes this to work now, and would be happy to hear your expanation, if you feel like taking the time to explain. If not, no problem - it works and that is the most important thing! So, thank you again -
Perry

Spry Menu Bar problem in IE

I am using a spry menu bar, which looks perfect in firefox, but in IE (version 6.0) I cannot get the font right for when an item on the menu bar has been visited. The font should stay white, but goes to a light purple colour which is hard to read. The site is www.binscombe.net and the CSS code is below. Any help really appreciated.
Many thanks,
Martin Brunet

Spry Menu Bar 2.0 (1.0) - Handling of widget generated CSS, placement and rendering problems in CSS

Hello:
I wanted to repost my question to re-frame the issue based on what I have learned thus far.
I am working on a website that has been developed using the Spry Menu Bar Framework UI (2.0) I.0, that has some peculiar rendering problems that affect IE 6 in particular. The CSS is reprinted below.
In particular, when I post the widget generated CSS in the head as it is orginally situated by the framework, the menu bar works fine. However, it seemed to me that I should be able to reduce page weight (an important consideration considering my target population) by placing it in the general style sheet governing the entire site.
When I place the styles at the beginning of the style sheet the menu doesn't render at all in any of the browsers (IE 6+, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Netscape, etc.) as it conflicts with the general rules governing links that appear later in the style sheet. When I place the styles specific to the Menu bar at the end of the style sheet, then the menu bar renders properly in all browsers except IE 6.
The odd thing is that the only way to ensure that the menu bar works in IE 6 is to keep the menu related styles in the head of each page. This raises problems related to page weight (not an insurmountable consideration if no other solution can be found) but still an issue. Likewise I need to support IE 6, again given the target audience/population. The issue obviously has something to do with specificity, but I am not certain that is the only consideration at work here. I have not tried the !important selector in regard to the menu, as IE 6 seems to only partially support this.
Thanks in advance for any advice or insight that can be provided. Thanks in particular to Martin for his contributions to my earlier question related to this issue.
Steve Webster.
The CSS governing the horizontal menu bar is as follows: (currently the following CSS is embedded in the head of the web page)
<style type="text/css">
/* -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles -- */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* 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 rightpointing 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, allsubmenus 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 levelmenu 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 onthe 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.
#MenuBar {
    background-color:transparent;

/* 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 forselection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu"(MenuItemWithSubMenu),
* giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in aselector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets thespecificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs assignificant. 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 lotof these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes formodern 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.jsscript.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser isInternet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditionalcomments for these rules.

Hi Nancy:
The specific code that I am referring to is the CSS code governing the styling of the spry menu widget that only works in IE 6 if, and only if, it remains in the head of the web page. If removed and placed in a stylesheet, the IE plugins fail to compensate for the IE 6 "gap" bug. As I said, it doesn't make sense to me that, assuming specificity is addressed, that these can not be included in an external style sheet. I am looking for a) an explanation why they must remain embedded in the web page; and 2) any means by which I might be able to export them.
I will reproduce the specific css style (code) below: it should also be visable through reveal source --
Thanks again, Steve Webster.
The CSS governing the horizontal menu bar is as follows: (currently the following CSS is embedded in the head of the web page)
<style type="text/css">
/* -- Begins Spry Menu Widget 2.0 (1.0) Horizontal menu bar Custom styles -- */
/* BeginOAWidget_Instance_2141544: #MenuBar */
/* 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 rightpointing 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, allsubmenus 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 levelmenu 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 onthe 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.
#MenuBar {
    background-color:transparent;
   font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; /* Specify fonts on onMenuBar and subMenu MenuItemContainer, so MenuItemContainer,
                                                MenuItem, and MenuItemLabel
                                                at a given level all use same definition for ems.
                                                Note that this means the size is also inherited to child submenus,
                                                so use caution in using relative sizes other than
                                                100% on submenu fonts. */

/* 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 forselection, such as "hover" (MenuItemHover) and "has a subMenu"(MenuItemWithSubMenu),
* giving the selector '.MenuItemWithSubMenu.MenuItemHover'.
* Unfortunately IE6 does not support using mutiple classnames in aselector for an element. For a selector such as '.foo.bar.baz', IE6ignores
* all but the final classname (here, '.baz'), and sets thespecificity accordingly, counting just one of those classs assignificant. 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 lotof these needed, the plugin does not generate the extra classes formodern 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.jsscript.
* The 'SpryIsIE6' class is placed on the HTML element by the script in SpryMenuBarIEWorkaroundsPlugin.js if the browser isInternet Explorer 6. This avoids the necessity of IE conditionalcomments for these rules.
